Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan died on Wednesday at the age of 54. He was admitted to Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital on Tuesday, where was under observation for colon infection.
The actor's spokesperson had earlier said, in a statement issued on Tuesday evening, that he has been admitted to the intensive care unit. "Yes, it is true that Irrfan Khan is admitted to ICU at Kokilaben in Mumbai because of a colon infection. We would keep everyone updated. He is under doctor's observation," his spokesperson said in a statement.

The Piku actor lost his 95-year-old mother Saeeda Begum in Jaipur just three days ago and could not attend the funeral because of the nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus.
In early 2018, Irrfan had revealed his neuroendocrine tumour diagnosis. The actor stayed away from the public eye as he underwent treatment in the UK.
After his return in 2019, he shot for Angrezi Medium, the sequel to his 2017 hit Hindi Medium.
However, his health condition prevented him from promoting the movie, which hit the theatres in March just before the lockdown that began on March 25.
