Deepika took to her Instagram to share a BTS shot from her time with Irrfan while filming ‘Piku’. The caption was rather heart-melting as the actress quoted the lyrics of the song ‘Lamhe Guzar Gaye’, it read, “लम्हे गुज़र गये चेहरे बदल गये हम थे अंजानी राहो में पल में रुला दिया पल में हसा के फिर रह गये हम जी राहो में थोड़ा सा पानी है रंग है थोड़ी सी छावो है चुभती है आँखो में धूप ये खुली दिशाओ में और दर्द भी मीठा लगे सब फ़ासले ये कम हुए ख्वाबो से रस्ते सजाने तो दो यादो को दिल में बसाने तो दो (sic).

Deepika ended the post with, “Rest in Peace my Dear Friend…?”
