Irrfan Khan makes his Instagram debut, and nails it with his posts

MUMBAI: Actor Irrfan Khan has made his debut on Instagram and shared throwback images from his younger days in which he recreates some iconic poses from Bollywood.

The 50-year-old actor posted two black-and-white pictures on his recently created photo sharing account.

The first picture shows Irrfan and a friend mimicking the classic "Sholay" pose where veteran actor Dharmendra sits on a whistling Amitabh Bachchan's shoulders and plays the harmonica.

 

This is our poster inspired by the #Sholay poster. #FilmyInfluence

The "Hindi Medium" actor captioned the image as, "This is our poster inspired by the #Sholay poster. #FilmyInfluence."

In the second photograph, Irrfan can be seen riding a horse, dressed up like India's first superstar, Rajesh Khanna.

 

Somebody told me that to be an actor you must know horse riding … so whenever I went to ride (or learn to ride - which I didn't at that time), I made it a point that when I sat on the horse … my look would be inspired by Rajesh Khannaji …. ;) Hero toh banna hi tha! #FilmyInfluence
