Fans and followers quickly flooded the comment section, expressing their love and remembrance for Irrfan. “For me, Irrfan sir will remain the Greatest of All times,” one user commented. Another added, “Irrfan Khan sir is being missed by everyone a lot.“
Irrfan Khan is widely regarded as one of the finest actors the Indian film industry has ever produced. He made his debut in the Oscar-nominated Hindi film “Salaam Bombay!” and went on to deliver stellar performances in critically acclaimed films like “Life in a… Metro,” “The Lunchbox,” and “Hindi Medium.”
Irrfan’s talent transcended Indian cinema, earning him international acclaim in several global projects. His extraordinary contributions put him on the map of world cinema, where he gained recognition and admiration from audiences worldwide.
Sadly, Irrfan passed away on April 29, 2020, in a Mumbai hospital after battling a neuroendocrine tumor. His untimely death left a void in the film industry and in the hearts of millions of fans.
