That fateful Wednesday, April 29, at 11.11 in the morning, when the actor breathed for the last time surrounded by his family in a city hospital, several people from the film industry found themselves struggling to express in words the impact and the influence that dear Irrfan had on their lives. Whether you take advantage of some survival skills in this harsh and unforgiving world of show business or just be a friend to those in need, your generous deeds slowly came to light through the many notes of love and tributes that reached the social networks.
Irrfan, who was in a league of his own, not only earned critical acclaim and praise for his stellar performances in Bollywood movies, but his effortless transition to a popular name in Hollywood.

His journey west began with his giant leap onto the international stage with his role in British director Asif Kapadia’s 2001 film
‘The warrior’. Set in feudal Rajasthan, the adventure / drama won a BAFTA for Best British Film and, in turn, introduced Khan to an audience who would quickly learn to love and appreciate him and everything he brought to the big screen.
With his blockbuster movies like ‘The Namesake’ and ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ among many other films to his credit, he earned due recognition as a ‘character actor’ and garnered significant roles, including one in Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning film. ‘ The life of Pi’. This film only opened more doors for him, some of which lead to roles in major films, including ‘Jurassic World’ and ‘Inferno’.

An article on hollywoodreporter.com read: “In a career spanning more than 30 years, Khan was a prolific film and television actor famous for his rank as well as the humanity and intensity he brought to his roles … With the breadth of his later work
Arguably Khan became the best-known Indian actor working in the West. ”

New York Times film critic A.O. Scott praised Khan’s subtly calibrated lead role in the Indian romantic drama ‘The Lunchbox’ and said, “He enjoys the understatement, occasionally allowing the character’s pent-up emotion to come out from behind his calm and aloof demeanor.” .
Called someone who “lacked the appearance of a traditional Bollywood romantic lead,” various publications in the west could not deny the fact as stated by CNN: “He was the rare Indian actor who was successful in both Bollywood and Hollywood.” .

Recalling one of his many interviews with international news portals repeatedly on the red carpet and movie premieres, he once revealed that the only reason he ventured out of the box because the United States allowed him to “push my limits as actor”.

Ang Lee, director of Life of Pi, paid tribute to his “dear friend” in a statement to Deadline.com that said: “Irrfan was a great artist, a true knight and a brave fighter.” His death is the loss of the cinema. We will miss him very much. May you rest in peace, my dear friend.

Variety.com even dubbed it a “crossover success.”
Although he proved success over and over again, the actor said that he, like most others, had to break his stereotypical molds and roles that reached hundreds. Considering he was a Muslim, he said he received hundreds of roles to play terrorists in the Indian film industry and abroad. But he said: “If you are exploring the subject, then I am interested. But if you are becoming afraid of people or you are attending to people’s prejudices, then it does nothing, “he said in an interview with Vice News.
