Irrfan Khan was battling cancer since a long time. In his welcome, his wife Sutapa Sikdar had posted an image with the actor on Facebook, which is now gaining attention of the internet. The image is of her and Irrfan Khan playing Holi. The image looks like a throwback picture from long ago.
Sutapa had updated the picture a month ago, on March 21, before Irrfan was detected with colon infection. The 53-year-old actor died due to the same reason in Mumbai today. He was cremated at the Versova kabrastan among 20 people, including friends and family.
Irrfan was receiving treatment in Kokilaben Dhirubai Ambani hospital in Versova. His last rites were performed by son Babil and Ayan. Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia, who worked with Irrfan in 'Paan Singh Tomar', carried the actor's mortal remains to the cemetery. Sutapa, Vishal Bhardwaj, Kapil Sharma, Rajpal Yadav and Mika Singh were a few people spotted at the funeral held at 3 pm today.
Meanwhile, various celebrities including the Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan and the likes paid their respects to the actor on social media. Most of the celebs could not gather around for the funeral owing to the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown.
