His spokesperson confirmed the news with a statement, "'I trust, i have surrendered'; These were the 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 a 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 heaven 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”.

In March 2018, Irrfan first announced that he was suffering with a rare form of neuroendocrine cancer. The actor, who has been keeping a low profile ever since and maintaining a distance from media, sought treatment abroad. He returned to Mumbai earlier this year.

 Birth in an illustrious family 

Irrfan Khan was destined to a Muslim Pathan family on seventh January 1967 in Jaipur, Rajasthan. His dad was the late Jagirdar Khan from town Khajuria close to the Tonk locale. His mom, Begum Khan had a place with the Tonk hakim family. Irrfan Khan's dad maintained a tire business. 

Irrfan genuine name is Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan. 

Getting into films was not what Irrfan Khan had anticipated. He was keen on a profession in cricket, in any case, his folks were not very enthused about it. It was after he earned a grant in NSD that he took to making a profession in acting. 

Youthful Irrfan Khan 

While reading for his MA degree, he earned a grant to learn at National School of Drama (NSD) in 1984. He has a Diploma in Dramatic Arts. 

At the point when he showed up in Mumbai, he began functioning as a cool fix man. It is even said that one of first houses he visited for fixing administrations was that of the legend Rajesh Khanna. 

He appeared in the year 1988 in the Academy Award designated film Salaam Bombay. He was then in his last year at NSD; anyway his job was abbreviated as his tallness was being an issue. 

Irrfan Khan got hitched to essayist and individual NSD understudy Sutapa Sikdar on February 23rd 1995. Aside from his mainstay of solidarity, his significant other, he has two children, Babil and Ayan. 

At a certain point of time in his vocation he was significantly doing TVs shows and none of the movies that he acted in end up being effective. It turned out to be extremely dull for him and it drove him to nearly abandon acting. Be that as it may, acting in The Warrior, made by Asif Kapadia, made him adjust his perspective. 

A verifiable film, The Warrior, wherein he assumed the lead job, when opened to International movies celebrations in 2001 gave him a moment acclaim and he turned into a notable face in the film world. 

He handled his first job as a lead entertainer in a business film for Rog in the year 2005.

Yet he was the most talented Indian Film Star.
