New Update

Bollywood
actor Irrfan Khan died on Wednesday at the age of 54. He was admitted to
Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital on Tuesday, where he was under
observation for colon infection.

According to
a statement by the actor’s representatives: ‘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. And 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’.

Filmmaker
Shoojit Sircar, who dreected Irrfan’s Piku, tweeted: “My dear friend
Irfaan. You fought and fought and fought. I will always be proud of you.. we
shall meet again.. condolences to Sutapa and Babil.. you too fought, Sutapa you
gave everything possible in this fight. Peace and Om shanti. Irfaan Khan
salute.”

you.. we shall meet again.. condolences to Sutapa and Babil.. you too fought,

The actor’s
spokesperson had earlier said, in a statement issued on Tuesday evening, that
he has been admitted to the intensive care unit at Kokilaben in Mumbai because
of a colon infection.

The Piku
actor lost his 95-year-old mother Saeeda Begum in Jaipur just three days ago
and could not attend the funeral because of the nationwide lockdown to contain
the spread of coronavirus.

In early
2018, Irrfan had revealed his neuroendocrine tumour diagnosis. The actor stayed
away from the public eye as he underwent treatment in the UK.

After his
return in 2019, he shot for Angrezi Medium, the sequel to his 2017 hit Hindi
Medium.

However, his health condition prevented him from
promoting the movie, which hit the theatres in March just before the lockdown
that began on Mar
