It
came
as
a
shock,
when
news
about
Irrfan
Khan's
demise
surfaced.
The
versatile
actor
was
53
and
breathed
his
last
at
Mumbai's
Kokilaben
Dhirubhai
Ambani
hospital.
Irrfan,
who
was
diagnosed
with
a
neuroendocrine
tumour
in
2018,
lost
his
mother
just
four
days
ago.
He
returned
to
India
in
February
last
year
and
filmed
Angrezi
Medium
during
his
short
visit.
A
couple
of
months
later,
he
again
flew
to
London
to
continue
the
treatment
and
returned
after
his
surgery
in
September
2019.
The
unfortunate
demise
of
the
Billu
Barbar
Actor
has
shocked
the
entertainment
industry
as
Tollywood
celebrities
mourn
his
death
on
social
media.
Superstar
Mahesh
Babu
and
South
Diva
Trisha,
who
worked
together
with
Irrfan
Khan
in
2006
movie

to
their
respective
social
media
handles
to
pay
last
respect
to
the
finest
actor
of
the
film
industry.

Sircar
on
social
media.
The
actor
was
admitted
to
the
hospital
on
Tuesday
owing
to
colon
infection,
and
was
kept
in
the
intensive

unit
(ICU).

has
appeared
in
more
than
100
films
including
Bollywood
and
