His mother passed away two days back in Jaipur, at the age of 95, and he attended the funeral through a video call from Mumbai because of the lockdown.

Earlier in an interview, Irrfan had reacted to his cancer diagnosis. He had said, "I tell life: ‘Lag Jaa Gale Ki Phir Yeh Haseen Shaam Ho Naa Ho, Shayad Is Janam Mein Mulaqaat Ho Na Ho" The lines are from a poignant song by Lata Mangeshkar, from the movie Woh Kaun Thi (1964).

Irrfan was last seen in the Hindi film, Angrezi Medium. The movie released right before the lockdown, and, hence, could not enjoy a long theatrical run. But it received critical acclaim and is loved by the audience after its digital release.
