IRRFAN KHAN
RIP Irrfan Khan
• Actor Irrfan Khan died in a Mumbai hospital on Wednesday, 
losing his battle with a rare form of cancer. The actor, who was 
diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in 2018, lost his 
mother in Jaipur a few days ago. He was admitted to the 
intensive care unit of the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital 
with a colon infection on Tuesday.

His story
• He has over 80 films to his credit and a television career that 
did not quite go well for him, but to the world, he is a star. Irrfan 
is an actor who can truly be called one who is par excellence, 
for he is an actor who looks for so many things, more than just 
fame. Irrfan has been a gem for the entertainment industry, 
Bollywood as well as Hollywood.

A simple man
• Even though he never called himself a hero, or yearned for 
special treatment of any kind, he earned it for himself. Most of 
us haven't known who he is as a person or even seen him 
enough beyond the screens, and yet, there is this strange 
connection that feels so strong, and now, when he's gone, it 
pains a little more than it should.
Career
• Khan made his film debut with a small role in Salaam Bombay 
in 1988, which was followed by years of struggle. After starring 
in the British film the Warrior he had his breakthrough with 
starring roles in the dramas Haasil and Maqbool. His best 
movies were the Namesake, Life in a Metro and Paan Singh 
Tomar for which he won the National Film Award for Best 
Actor.

Loved by Hollywood
• His first big break was in British Indian filmmaker Asif 
Kapadia's film The Warrior. The Bafta-winning film was 
presented in cinemas with an endorsement from late filmmaker 
Anthony Minghella. From a struggling television actor in India, 
he went on to become the most successful Indian actor to 
perform in a Hollywood film.

Twitter tribute
• The grief that has ripped through his fans and the film fraternity 
found an outlet on social media. Twitter has been deluged by 
tributes from Irrfan Khan's many co-stars, among them 
Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, Anil 
Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar and Sonam Kapoor. 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also paid tribute to him.

Google pays tribute
• Remembering the acting stalwart, Google India paid a 
remarkable tribute on Twitter, “A karwaan of magical 
performances left behind. To the man whose range made us 
feel a range of emotions all at once.”
Goodbye
• His loss has created this vacuum in our hearts, and in the 
industry, which no one can fill. Here's celebrating Irrfan Khan, 
his work and everything else that he brought on the table with 
that happy voice and all the humour. He will be remembered 
fondly, and his stories will always serve the greater purpose 
that he longed for them to always do.
