Irrfan had first publicly revealed that he has been diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour in March 2018 and subsequently left for London to undergo treatment. After beating the disease, the actor returned to Mumbai in September 2019 and also finished his film Angrezi Medium, which unfortunately turned out to be his last project. We offer our deepest condolences to Irrfan's family in such times and keep the late actor in our prayers.
