Mumbai
The real King Khan of Bollywood, Irrfan Khan has died in Mumbai after battling medical complications arising from a colon infection. His death was confirmed by his close friend, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar. “My dear friend Irfaan. You fought and fought and fought. I will always be proud of you. We shall meet again,” wrote Sircar. He’d been admitted to the intensive care unit of Kokilaben hospital in Mumbai on Tuesday and on Wednesday morning, a statement was released confirming his death. ‘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.”
