"Gone too soon" was the common feeling echoing across the film industry, as actors, directors and co-stars mourned Irrfan Khan's untimely death from a rare form of cancer in a Mumbai hospital. One of the finest actors of Bollywood Irrfan Khan, whose international movie career included hits such as ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, ‘Life of Pi’ and ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’, breathed his last at the age of 53. The Bollywood star, who was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour in 2018, was admitted to a Mumbai hospital earlier this week with a colon infection. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the award-winning actor, tweeting "Irrfan Khan's demise is a loss to the world of cinema and theatre." Amitabh Bachchan, who worked with Irrfan on Shoojit Sircar's 2015 film 'Piku', said the news of the actor's death was "most disturbing and sad". "An incredible talent... a gracious colleague... a prolific contributor to the World of Cinema... left us too soon," he posted on Twitter. Cricket Legend Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and actors like Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Hrithik Roshan and many others expressed sadness and disbelief with the news of his sudden demise. Funeral rites for the actor were held at a graveyard in Mumbai, with only immediate family allowed to attend in keeping with India's strict lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus. He is survived by his wife Sutapa and his sons Babil and Ayaan. (All Photos: Twitter/Instagram)
