Actor Irrfan Khan  has done it again! He bagged the Best Actor award for his laudworthy performance in ‘The Lunchbox’ at the eighth edition of Asian Film Awards (AFA) in Macau.

The actor beat Song Kang-ho, Lee Kang Sheng, Fukuyama Masaharu and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai to win the coveted prize.

"It's a great honour to be nominated alongside an actor like Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (‘The Grandmaster') and winning," the Indian actor said in a statement.
