Actor Irrfan Khan, critically acclaimed in both Indian and international cinema, passed away on Wednesday, April 29 in Mumbai. For several years, he was battling a neuroendocrine tumour. He passed away at the age of 54.
Internationally, Irrfan Khan worked with actors like Tom Hanks, Andrew Garfield, Chris Pratt among others. Star Wars actor Riz Ahmed paid tribute to the late actor. "Rest in peace one of the greatest actors of our time, Irrfan Khan. I never met him but he was an inspiration and a hero to me and millions of others. His work was consistently transcendent, he was a guiding light for so many of us. If you've not seen his work, watch The Lunchbox or The Warrior. A true artist who spanned Bollywood and Hollywood and was acclaimed in both. His words in a letter to a newspaper about his illness are a reminder of his beautiful mind and of life’s fragility. His work will live on," he wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.
