Sutapa Sikdar Recalls ‘Irrfan’s Real-Life Relationship With Lunchboxes’ As The Lunchbox Clocks 10 Years

As Irrfan Khan’s The Lunchbox completed 10 years of its release recently, his darling wife Sutapa discusses the actor’s real life relationship with lunchboxes. Taking to Instagram, Sutapa penned a note while sharing a picture of the actor as The Lunchbox completed 10 years of its release recently.

Stating that The Lunchbox played a huge role in his life, she wrote, “Irrfan went to a school called St.Paul in Jaipur( “English medium” because of his mother as she insisted though his father didn’t see the need.) and apparently everyone got white bread sandwiches ( brown bread was not in as yet ) and fancy jam rolls, etc while Irrfan got paranthas made by ammi and hated it and dreaded to open the lunch box in school in inferiority complex injected by this perception as if sandwiches were an emblem of upper class. Ironically years later he hated his children having bread for breakfast.” She added that years later, nobody knew a lunchbox would be iconic in his work and change his life personally too and added “All childhood trauma gone.”
