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.
The actor was unwell and unable to attend the funeral because of the lockdown.
Irrfan Khan was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 after which he left for London to get treated. On recovering from the illness, he returned to India in 2019.
