The entire country couldn’t come over the demise of actor Irrfan who left so much memories among us to think of. The actor who is 54 years old died of Colon infection in Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital on Wednesday. A statement released by his family said that Irrfan spent his final hours “surrounded by his love, his family whom he cared the most”. The actor has been battling the tumour for several months and returned to Mumbai after getting treated in London. Irrfan was married to Sutapa in 1995 and have two sons.

This tweet below helped to understand the feeling most of us are going through. Hence had to share.
I was really hoping that he’d win this battle. But I guess there were other plans.
And finally what remains is this thought. Irrfan Khan is, ‘Gone but can never be forgotten’. pic.twitter.com/urSjuay0Oz

Remembering the first time I met Irrfan, for the first reading of QQS. It was his birthday, and the team got him a cake.

My first ever acting was in a workshop for my first film where all I had to do was try to recreate a scene of Irrfan sir from Maqbool. And I failed. I keep trying that scene often. And I fail.
First face that comes to mind when we think Actor.

Too soon to leave @irrfank Ji. Your work always left me in awe. You’re one of the finest actors I know, I wish you stayed longer. You deserved more time. Strength to the family at this time.

To our shock, there are also people who are finding ways to spread hatred even at the demise of a great actor like Irrfan. A twitter user named as Shehryar Khanum came up with a series of screenshots in which we can see hateful comments against actor Irrfan Khan. One of the comment of a twitter user named as Chandrasekar addressed the actor as “terrorist” and felt happy for the loss. Another one named as “Rocky” considered the demise of Irrfan Khan as good news. He wrote “Rest in hell” to spread hatred against the deceased.

Users of the micro blogging social media site felt extremely embarrassed on seeing such comments. “India, what have you done to yourself.?” asked Shehryar while uploading the post.

Nothing wrong with India, everything wrong with people from backward states of UP, Bihar, WB, Jharkhand, UK.

Ignore these people and India is good.
