Mumbai:
Actor Irrfan Khan, who was admitted to ICU at Kokilaben in Mumbai because of a colon infection yesterday, has passed away on Wednesday. The 53-year-old actor was admitted to the hospital’s ICU, and his wife Sutapa Sikdar and two sons were with him while he was taking his last breath.
The actor had been ailing ever since he was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour a while back, and has been under medical attention for the same.
Recently Irfan Khan’s mother Saeeda Begum, 80, passed away here on last Saturday.
She was suffering from various age-related ailments for long, said family sources, adding she breathed her last on Saturday, the first day of Ramzan festival.
The actor’s latest film is Homi Adajania’s comedy “Angrezi Medium”, the last-released Bollywood film before COVID-19 forced complete shutdown of cinema halls. “Angrezi Medium” ran in theatres for just a day before halls all over India were shut down. The film has eventually released in the OTT space.
“Angrezi Medium” marked Irrfan’s return despite his ailing condition.
