Nothing Can Be More Heartbreaking: Irrfan Khan's Passing Leaves Bollywood In Deep Sorrow & Pain
Gone too soon! That's what everyone is saying after hearing the heart-shattering news of Irrfan Khan's passing. It's hard to believe that one of the finest actors in Bollywood has left us all for his heavenly abode at the age of 53.
"I trust, I have surrendered." These were the some of the many words that Irrfan expressed in a heartfelt note he wrote in 2018 opening up about his fight with cancer.
Irrfan Khan was hospitalised with colon infection on Tuesday. Just three days ago, his mother Saeeda Begum had passed away in Jaipur. She was 95 years old. Since Irrfan couldn't be there with her, he attended the funeral over video conferencing.?
Mourning the loss, his family said in a statement:?
"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."
His friends from the industry as well as fans are mourning over the loss of the great actor and human being that Irrfan Khan was.
It is said that Irrfan Khan's colon infection was a manifestation of his neuroendocrine tumour, a rare type of cancer in which hormonal cells and cells from the central nervous system become tumours.?
