Team-BHP - RIP Irrfan Khan

Actor Irrfan Khan died on Wednesday in Mumbai's Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, where he was being treated for an colon infection.

Irrfan Khan was diagnosed with an neuroendocrine tumour in March 2018, soon after which he flew to London for treatment. He returned to India in February 2019 to shoot Angrezi Medium and flew back to London after a brief stay. The actor returned to India in September last year after surgery and treatment in London.

Irrfan Khan, an actor par excellence, is no more. One of the finest actors of the current generation, he never failed to impress with his acting skills. R.I.P.

Quote:

“‘I trust, I have surrendered,’” were the words with which his family confirmed his death, while adding, “ 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’.”

He was one of the finest actor's of our generation. Sad to see him go at such an early age.Moreover he left just a few days after his mother passed away. May their soul's rest in peace.

Extremely saddened by the loss of Irrfan Khan. I have watched each and every film of Irrfan till date. Can't believe that Angrezi medium will be his last film.
My favourite movies of Irfan are
1) Paan Singh Tomar
2) Karwaan
3) Talwar
4) Hindi Medium
5) Qarib Qarib Single
6) Blackmail
7) Maqbool
8) Lunch Box
9) Piku

RIP one of the finest actors of Indian cinema. 🙁

The first memory I have of him is Banegi Apni Baat TV serial which was aired on Zee TV in the 90s and the ease with which he acted was very evident from the beginning. Inspite of non conventional (by bollywood standards) looks and acting he had created a separate niche for himself and tremendous fan following. Piku, Qarib Qarib Single, Hindi Medium were some of the outstanding films which I personally rate very high compared to all the commercially successful Bollywood films.

It is sad that his journey had to end abruptly and so soon, but his work will speak for him for times to come. RIP

Left the world too soon! As it is said, "Legends never die." The choice of his films, his acting, the way he delivered dialogues will always be unmatched.

His void in bollywood would never be filled. May the almighty rest his soul in peace. Thoughts with his family.

The first time I saw him act was in the movie Haasil. He played the negative role of a student political leader in University of Allahabad. And man - was I sold! The ease with which he acted was to be seen to be believed.

This is a big loss for Indian as well as world cinema. RIP.

Irfan Khan was one of my favourite contemporary indian actors. He had an effortless ease and a charming body language which made him endearing in whatever role he played. I have seen most of his movies and have been waiting to see Angrezi Medium. His departure and that too at a relatively young age is a massive loss not just to Indian cinema. I am going to truly miss his movies. This is not one of those platitudes one feel obliged to mention about a departed soul, i truly mean every word written. Wherever he is now will truly be richer with his presence. RIP

Irrfan Khan, one of the handful actors whose acting I genuinely appreciated. The rare breed actor could play them all, from a comedian to a shrewd gangster, from an illiterate barber to a stereotype Indian living in America. From Paan Singh Tomar to Jurassic World, from Banegi Apni Baat to Inferno, you nailed it everytime. Even in the movie, The Killer, you played a better contract killer than Tom Cruise did in its original, Collateral.
Your absence as a cast will surely reflect in the upcoming movies.

Very heartbreaking news indeed. He belonged to a small village of Tonk District of Rajasthan which is a very modest town. Whenever we traveled from Kota (My Hometown) to Jaipur, it was kind of a midway location for us to have a break. We always used to remember Irfaan & felt proud of him. Interestingly, He was selected as an emerging player for C.K. Naydu Cricket tournament but couldn't participate due to poor financial condition of his family.

God Bless His Soul. RIP!
