Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, who was admitted to Mumbai's Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital with a colon infection, died on Wednesday, sources confirmed. He was 53. He left behind his wife Sutapa Sikdar and two children-Babil Khan and Ayan Khan.
The Piku actor lost his mother, Saeeda Begum, earlier this week, and could not attend her funeral in Jaipur due to the nationwide lockdown.
