He is one of the most sought-after actors in the Hindi film industry right now, and enjoys a fan following that's loyal to a fault. That's Irrfan Khan for you - the dark horse of Bollywood who is running his own race, never once parting with the sheepish smile that graces his face all the time.

Even after an arduous year that Irrfan went through, the 'Karwaan' actor recently made an official announcement stating that he is back in the game after kicking cancer to the curb. Earlier this week he took to Twitter and shared the first look of his upcoming film 'Angrezi Medium' and  wrote, “Aa raha hu phir entertain karne sabko”.

This video is proof that Irrfan hasn't forgotten his roots, or the fact that any actor is made by their fans (and critics too). He is still as humble, unassuming and welcoming as he was before becoming the mega-star that he has turned into over the years, owing to his talent and hard work.

We love that he is regaining his health with every passing day, and we're glad to have him back amongst us too. He is special to us for a lot of reasons, and his calibre as an actor is just one of the many reasons.
