Mumbai/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday condoled the death of actor Irrfan Khan and said it is a loss for cinema and theatre.

Modi said Khan will be remembered for his 'versatile performance' across different mediums.

" Irrfan Khan’s demise is a loss to the world of cinema and theatre. He will be remembered for his versatile performances across different mediums. My thoughts are with his family, friends and admirers. May his soul rest in peace," Khan tweeted.

Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, who was admitted to Mumbai's Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital with a colon infection, died on Wednesday, sources confirmed. He was 53. He left behind his wife Sutapa Sikdar and two children-Babil Khan and Ayan Khan.

The Piku actor lost his mother, Saeeda Begum, earlier this week, and could not attend her funeral in Jaipur due to the nationwide lockdown.

The actor was unwell and unable to attend the funeral because of the lockdown.

Irrfan Khan was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 after which he left for London to get treated. On recovering from the illness, he returned to India in 2019.
