Legendary actor Irrfan Khan passes away

[HAIDER]

Irrfan Khan has died in Mumbai after battling a medical complication arising from colon infection.

His death was confirmed by his close friend, Bollywood director Shoojit Sircar.

“My dear friend Irfaan. You fought and fought and fought. I will always be proud of you. We shall meet again,” said Sircar, saluting Khan on social media.
The actor’s team officially confirmed the news with a statement:

‘I trust, I have surrendered,’ these were the some of the many words that Irrfan expressed in a heart felt note he wrote in 2018 opening up about his fight with cancer. A man of few words and an actor of silent expressions with his deep eyes and his memorable actions on screen. It’s saddening that this day, we have to bring forward the news of him passing away."

"Irrfan was a strong soul, someone who fought till the very end and always inspired everyone who came close to him. After having been struck by lightning in 2018 with the news of a rare cancer, he took life soon after as it came and he fought the many battles that came with it.

Surrounded by his love, his family for whom he most cared about, he left for heaven abode, leaving behind truly a legacy of his own. We all pray and hope that he is at peace. And to resonate and part with his words he had said, ‘As if I was tasting life for the first time, the magical side of it’."

He had been battling health issues for the past couple of years, and was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, a rare form of the disease in early 2018.

Khan was last seen in Angrezi Medium which ran in theatres for just a day before cinema halls all over India were shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

He's known for a range of characters, appearing in several memorable flicks such as The Lunchbox, Haider, Piku, Blackmail, Hindi Medium, amongst others. He was also part of Hollywood outings such as Life of Pi, Slumdog Millionaire, Inferno, Jurassic World, The Amazing Spider-Man, etc.

He was 53 and is survived by his wife, Sutapa Sikdar and two sons, Babil and Ayan.

[Sharma Ji]

Not a bollywood fan but this man has serious acting chops, a real artiste.

RIP

 

[Gandhi G in da house]

He was a national treasure for India. Extremely sad day. Too soon for him to go. Far better actor than most other so called Bollywood super stars. Made a mark in Hollywood too. May his soul rest in peace.

BTW he wasnt legendary.

He was.

 

[Goenitz]

I like these people who were not only hard working but had high morality. Like him. People who portrayed villain were actually good and family man like Sadashiv, Prem chopra. I am not considering their acting but how stained past have some famous actors.

Anyway, May he rest in peace. Lucky he passed away in Ramzan. May his family overcome grief and loss.

The world is a bleaker place.

Indian actor Irrfan Khan passes away

Indian actor Irrfan Khan passes away
Indian actor Irrfan Khan, who was admitted to hospital after his health deteriorated, passed away on Wednesday, Indian media reported. He was 53.

Khan’s death, after a prolonged battle with cancer, was confirmed by a spokesman for the actor in a brief statement.

The actor is survived by wife Sutapa Sikdar and two sons Babil and Ayan.

Khan was among the first Indian actors to make a consistent mark in western cinema, following earlier crossover pioneers like Saeed Jaffrey, Roshan Seth and Om Puri.

He also brought a modern sensibility to recent hit movies and featured in several Hollywood films such as Life of Pi and The Namesake.

Irrfan was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in 2018 and had been undergoing treatment in Britain.

He returned to India after recovering and wrapped up his film Angrezi Medium.

Earlier this week, Irrfan Khan’s mother Saeeda Begum died of a long-fought illness in Jaipur at the age of 95.

The funerals of Saeeda Begum were performed in Jaipur and due to the coronavirus lockdown restrictions, only a few family members were allowed to attend. Irrfan was unable to attend the final rites of his mother.

He paid his last respects to his mother through video conference.
