Priyanka Chopra extended her condolences to the family of actor Irrfan Khan who passed away at the Kokilaben Ambani Hospital in Mumbai on April 28. Taking to Twitter, Irrfan’s 7 Khoon Maaf co-actor said that the charisma he brought was “pure magic” and he inspired so many other actors.
Irrfan had announced in 2018 that he was suffering from euroendocrine tumour, a type of cancer. He was under treatment in the UK before his return to India last year. Irrfan had shot to fame with Mira Nair’s Academy-nominated Salaam Bombay in 1988. The turning points in his career, however, were the critically acclaimed roles in Haasil and Maqbool at the start of the millennium.
Celebrated actor
Irrfan Khan had won the National Award for his work for Paan Singh Tomar. He was known for his numerous other acclaimed works in films like Haasil, Maqbool, The Namesake, The Lunchbox, Talwar, Piku and Hindi Medium that fetched him numerous awards. He was notable for his work in Hollywood, with roles like in Slumdog Millionaire, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Life of Pi and The Namesake and Inferno. Irrfan was last seen in Angrezi Medium, the last major film to release before the COVID-19, and earned praises from celebrities after its digital premiere.
