The demise of one of the celebrated actors of Bollywood, Irrfan Khan felt like a personal loss to many. The nation is still mourning the great loss. However, the villagers in Igatpuri village in Maharashtra have decided to name a locality after him.
Irrfan, who has often been described as one of the most humble and down to earth human beings, was closely associated with the villagers and on countless occasions, had even come to their aid. A leading daily reported that Irrfan had always stood by the villagers and helped the underprivileged families.
As per reports, it all started when Irrfan bought a plot of land in the village and once he began interacting with the villagers who lived nearby, he realised how deprived they were and decided to help with the development of the village.
The actor would even donate books, raincoats, sweaters and other essential items to the tribal children who lived and studied in the area. He would also celebrate festivals with these families and send them sweets as well.
Since the later actors demise, the village has been mourning the loss and have decided to rename the locality in which Irrfan’s house is situated, Hero-chi-wadi which literally means the locality of a hero.
Irrfan Khan, who was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour in 2018, breathed his last on April 29 at the age of 53.
