Irrfan Khan Is No More; Bollywood Celebs Mourn Actor’s Death

Actor Irrfan Khan passed away at the age of 53 on April 29, after being admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai. The actor was kept in the ICU for colon infection and had been suffering from cancer since 2018.

Irrfan's family released a statement which stated, "I trust, I have surrendered"; These were the some of the many words that Irrfan expressed in a heartfelt 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."

The National-Award winning actor's death has indeed shocked the entire film industry as many celebrities from Bollywood have mourned his death on Twitter.
