A
month
after
the
passing
of
one
of
Hindi
film
industry's
legendary
actors,
Irrfan
Khan,
his
close
friend
revealed
that
Irrfan
had
helped
raise
funds
for
COVID-19
relief.
Irrfan's
friend
also
shared
that
the
former's
only
request
was
that
no
one
should
know
of
his
deeds.
Speaking
to
Pinkvilla
in
an
interview,
Ziaullah,
a
friend
of
Irrfan's
from
Jaipur,
said
,
"With
the
Coronavirus
situation
we
were
creating
funds
to
help
people.
When
we
spoke
to
his
brother,
he
was
ready
to
help
and
even
Irrfan
helped
us
with
funds
for
poor
people.
His
only
clause
was
nobody
should
know
that
he
has
helped.
As
a
family,
they
believe
that
the
right
hand
shouldn't
know
what
the
left
hand
has
given.
For
them
it
was
more
important
for
people
to
get
relief."
Ziaullah
felt
a
need
to
share
about
Irrfan's
gesture
in
order
to
let
everyone
know
that
there
are
people
of
his
kind
too.
"Now,
I
am
sharing
this
with
the
world
as
he
is
no
more
between
us.
It's
our
responsibility
to
tell
everyone
that
there
are
souls
like
this
too," he
said.
Ziaullah
also
talked
about
Irrfan's
visits
to
his
ailing
mother.
"He
would
rush
home
whenever
he
was
informed
of
his
ammi
(mother's)
health.
He
would
visit
if
it
is
for
a
short
period,
but
his
arrival
to
meet
his
mother
was
indubitable," he
said.
Irrfan
succumbed
to
a
colon
infection
on
April
29,
2020.
He
had
been
battling
neuroendocrine
tumour
for
nearly
two
years.
The
great
loss
was
mourned
by
members
of
the
film
industry,
who
took
to
their
social
media
handles
to
condole
his
death.
