Angrezi Medium actor Irrfan Khan’s mother Saeeda Begum has passed away at 95 in Jaipur. The funeral will be held this evening. Irrfan, who is currently abroad, had decided to fly out from Mumbai immediately after he completed Angrezi Medium.
However, in view of the COVID-19 situation, there is no flight that can bring him to Jaipur at least for the next few weeks.
Irrfan has been very close to his Piku director, Shoojit Sircar. When contacted in Kolkata where he has quarantined himself with his family, Sircar spoke to an entertainment and said, “It’s very sad. I have yet to talk to him, though. I will be calling him.”
On the work fromt, Irrfan was last seen in Angrezi Medium which also starred Radhika Madan, Kareena Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Dimple Kapadia, Deepak Dobriyal, Ranvir Shorey and Kiku Sharda.
Irrfan had not even promoted the film much except for very few interviews as he chose to pull back and rather rest than indulge in a whirlwind spree of publicity campaign. AM’s producer Dinesh Vijan had fully understood the situation and was with him in every decision.
