Irrfan Khan Died at 53 age, battling colon infection
Irrfan Khan passed away today at a hospital in Mumbai, where he was

Sircar penned a condolence note remembering the actor.
His family issued an official statement,
“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. 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”.

Medium’, which hit the screens days before the lockdown was announced. His
