    Irrfan Khan, 53, passes away after battling illness for long

    Irrfan Khan, Bollywood's celebrated actor whose was the favorite of one and all, passed away on Wednesday, a day after he was admitted to the ICU unit of Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai. In 2018, Khan was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor and was undergoing treatment in London. He came to India a few months ago but restricted himself to his home.

    He was last seen in 'Angrezi Medium'

    An actor par excellence, Irrfan was last seen in Angrezi Medium as the father of a teen girl, hell-bent to continue her studies in London. The 53-year-old chose against promoting the movie but asked fans to "wait for him". A few months ago, he had said his illness brought him closer to his family and they became one big unit.

    Shoojit Sircar confirmed the news on Twitter

    Director Shoojit Sircar was among the first ones to confirm the news. On this Twitter account, he wrote, "My dear friend Irfaan. You fought and fought and fought. I will always be proud of you.. we shall meet again.. condolences to Sutapa and Babil.. you too fought, Sutapa you gave everything possible in this fight. Peace and Om shanti. Irfaan Khan salute. (sic)"
