Irrfan Khan was one of the first Indian actors to succeed in Western cinema after his beginnings in the Indian film industry in Bollywood.
While Irrfan Khan may be known for his roles in Slumdog Millionaire, Life of Pi and The Namesake, I'll remember his roles in Jazbaa and Hindi Medium. A versatile actor who recently battled a brain tumor. RIP Irfan Khan.https://t.co/c92RkNMbRX#irfankhan #bollywood
