Irrfan Khan was “the brightest, most genuine, humble, kind and eventually the bravest soul,” wrote his Jazbaa co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in an Instagram story after the actor died in a Mumbai hospital on Wednesday. Mr Khan, who was 53, waged a year-and-a-half long battle against cancer. He was taken to hospital with a colon infection this week. To Aishwarya, as to many other co-stars, the much-admired Irrfan Khan was more than a colleague – he was “dear friend.” Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also sent “Much love and strength” to the actor’s wife Sutapa Sikdar and sons Ayab and Babil.
“The Brightest, Most Genuine,” Wrote Aishwarya Rai Bachchan For Irrfan Khan.
