Irfan Khan bids his final goodbye today
It was just on Tuesday, that the actor was immediately admitted to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital due to the colon infection. After that, Irfan’s spokesperson issues a statement saying that all his fans should not panic given the health situation of the actor as he will be recovering soon and he is a strong fighter. He also added that his fans and family would be kept updated about the same regularly. On Wednesday he also said;
“It’s really disappointing to know that there are extreme assumptions being made about Irrfan’s health. While we are truly appreciative that people are concerned, it’s disheartening to see some sources spread extreme rumors and creating panic. Irrfan is a strong person and is still fighting the battle. We really request you to not fall for rumors and not partake in these conversations which are fictional. We have always actively clarified and shared updates on his health and we will continue doing so.”
It was just yesterday night that the Piku’s actor’s health got more serious and he was shifted to ICU. The below-mentioned is the statement that was issued on behalf of his family after his death.
“I trust, I have surrendered’; These were some of the many words that Irrfan expressed in a heartfelt 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 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 heavenly 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’.”
