Irrfan okay being sidelined by Aishwarya in ‘Jazbaa’

Actor Irrfan Khan, who will be seen alongside Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in “Jazbaa”, says he has no qualms in being sidelined by the actress in the film.

Sanjay Gupta’s “Jazbaa” marks Aishwarya’s return to the silver screen after a gap of five years.

When asked if he feels sidelined as the focus is on Aishwarya, Irrfan said, “I don’t think this is her comeback film. I don’t think she went anywhere to be back on screen. I am okay being sidelined. I think it is a good thing as I would be getting sidelined by Aishwarya.”

The “Lunchbox” actor said Aishwarya was one of the reasons for him to do “Jazbaa”.

“One of my biggest reasons to do the film was Aishwarya. I was looking forward to work with her. There is nothing exhilarating than a mother taking care of her baby and at the same time working… Doing the film,” he said.

“It is a beautiful experience for me. It was a great experience and I will cherish this memory,” the 48-year-old actor said.
