Irrfan Khan's memorable roles: from Life of Pi to The Lunchbox – video
Irrfan Khan, one of Bollywood’s most beloved stars who had achieved considerable success in the west, has died aged 53.
He had been admitted to the intensive care unit of Mumbai’s Kokilaben hospital on Tuesday with a colon infection and on Wednesday morning a statement was released confirming his death.
“It’s saddening that this day, we have to bring forward the news of him passing away,” read the statement. “Irrfan was a strong soul, someone who fought till the very end and always inspired everyone who came close to him.”
Despite his status as one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actors, Khan had a reputation for modesty and integrity and news of his death sent India into mourning, prompting actors, fans and politicians from across the world to express their sadness at his death.
Indian prime minister Narendra Modi said that Khan’s demise was “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.”
Fellow Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan said Khan’s death left a “huge vacuum”. “An incredible talent, a gracious colleague, a prolific contributor to the world of cinema … left us too soon,” tweeted Bachchan.
“The charisma you brought to everything you did was pure magic,” tweeted Priyanka Chopra. “Your talent forged the way for so many in so many avenues. You inspired so many of us. Irrfan Khan you will truly be missed. Condolences to the family.”
Indian politician Rahul Gandhi described Khan as a “versatile and talented actor” who would be “greatly missed” while Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said India had lost “one of the most exceptional actors of our time.”
In March 2018, Khan revealed he had been diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour, but after extensive treatment he recovered well enough to shoot Angrezi Medium, the film that would turn out to be his last, and whose release this March was cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Best known to English-speaking audiences as the police inspector in Slumdog Millionaire and for his roles in Jurassic World and Life of Pi, Khan was a Bollywood mainstay, acting in hits such as Haider, Piku and Hindi Medium.
“I always object to the word Bollywood,” he told the Guardian in 2013. “I don’t think it’s fair to have that name. Because that industry has its own technique, its own way of making films that has nothing to do with aping Hollywood. It originates in Parsi theatre.”
Irrfan Khan: 'I object to the term Bollywood'
Khan was born Saahabzaade Irfan Ali Khan in Jaipur in 1966, the son of a tyre seller, and went to drama school after failing as a cricketer. He struggled to make headway in the film industry, despite being cast in a small role as a letter writer in Mira Nair’s 1988 Salaam Bombay! – to his frustration he only managed to find regular work in low-grade TV soap operas.
“I came into this industry to tell stories and do cinema and I was stuck in television,” he told the Guardian.
Khan’s breakthrough role came from an unlikely source: the feature debut of then-unknown British director Asif Kapadia, whose low budget samurai-esque tale, The Warrior, was shot in India. Released in 2002, The Warrior was selected for the prestigious San Sebastián film festival and won the Bafta award for best British film. Khan subsequently broke into mainstream Indian films, often playing cops or villains – including the title role of Maqbool, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth set in the Mumbai underworld. More orthodox Bollywood productions followed, such as Rog and the slice-of-life musical Life in a … Metro.
Khan also maintained a parallel career in British-American cinema: he played the chief of police in Michael Winterbottom’s A Mighty Heart, and another police officer in Slumdog Millionaire, which won eight Oscars. In later roles, he became a reliable standby character actor in big-budget Hollywood films, playing a doctor in The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and businessmen in Jurassic World (2015) and Inferno (2016). In 2012, he also played the adult version of the lead character in another Oscar-winner: Life of Pi, directed by Ang Lee. Director Wes Anderson said he specifically wrote a small role for Khan in his film The Darjeeling Limited just so they could work together.
Meanwhile, Khan found box-office success with the Indian-produced art film The Lunchbox, in which he played an accountant who strikes up a letter-writing romance with unhappy housewife Nimrat Kaur. Khan also continued his high Bollywood profile with significant roles in the Amitabh Bachchan comedy Piku and Hindi Medium, as a rich businessman trying to get his daughter into a good school.
Khan is survived by his wife, Sutapa Sikdar, and sons Babil and Ayan.

generations of actors [File: Divyakant Solanki/EPA]
Celebrated Indian actor Rishi Kapoor has died in a hospital in
Mumbai after a two-year battle with cancer - Bollywood's second loss in as many
days. He was 67 years old.
"Our dear Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at 8:45 am IST
in hospital today after a two-year battle with leukaemia. The doctors and
medical staff at the hospital said he kept them entertained to the last,"
Kapoor's family said in a statement on Thursday morning.
"He remained jovial and
determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across
two continents," said the statement.
Kapoor
belonged to Bollywood's most famous film dynasty with several generations of
actors. His father, Raj Kapoor, was one of India's most revered filmmakers.
His
death came as a severe blow to the Indian movie industry and film lovers, who
were already reeling from the passing on Wednesday of Irrfan Khan, one of the
country's most feted actors, aged 53. Khan also died of cancer.
Kapoor
is survived by his wife Neetu Kapoor - with whom he had acted in nearly a dozen
films before their marriage - and son Ranbir, also a popular actor, and
daughter Riddhima, a jewellery designer.
Fellow
actor Amitabh Bachchan was among the first to mourn Kapoor's death, tweeting,
"I am destroyed".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was "anguished by his
demise" and called him a "powerhouse of talent".
Bona fide Bollywood royalty
Born
September 4, 1952, into the prolific Kapoor dynasty, Rishi Kapoor made his
debut in the 1970s epic Mera Naam Joker.
He
received India's national award for best child actor for his performance in the
film, which his father Raj produced, directed and starred in.
But
it was his later persona as a romantic lead that won him legions of fans.
They
flocked to cinemas to see him sing, dance and charm his way into their hearts
in films such as the 1973 superhit Bobby and the 1975 thriller Khel Khel Mein.
His
trademark look - a sweater tied around his shoulders as he courted chiffon
sari-clad leading ladies in the Swiss Alps - became shorthand for Bollywood
romance.
Bona
fide Bollywood royalty, Kapoor churned out hits as a solo hero, playing a
lovelorn youth in the 1976 romance Laila Majnu and a rockstar in the 1980
musical thriller, Karz.
But he
also felt secure enough to take second billing to other actors in blockbusters
such as the 1977 comedy Amar Akbar Anthony - starring Bachchan and Vinod Khanna
- although he would frequently steal the show.
He
enjoyed an easy chemistry with male and female co-stars, playing Bachchan's
younger brother in the 1981 melodrama Naseeb and his son in the 2018 film, 102
Not Out.

Versatile star
As
Kapoor grew older, the romantic roles dried up, allowing him the opportunity to
display greater versatility.
He
terrified audiences as a human trafficker in 2012's Agneepath and won applause
for his portrayal of a cantankerous grandfather in 2016's Kapoor & Sons.
His
forays behind the camera were less successful.
A 1999
directorial debut Aa Ab Laut Chalen was panned by critics, becoming the last
movie produced under the RK Films banner established by his father.
In a
2016 interview with talk show host Simi Garewal, he praised Bollywood's younger
generation for taking more chances with their work.
"We
in our times never got a chance to [do] one film at one time... we
survived," he said.
He was
never afraid to speak candidly, whether about his movies - most of which
deserved to be forgotten, he joked to Garewal - or about his struggles with
alcoholism.
In
recent years he won a legion of new and younger fans with his frank, and often
funny, tweets.
After
being diagnosed with cancer in 2018 he sought treatment in New York, but was
looking to resume work shortly with plans to film a remake of the 2015
Hollywood production The Intern.
He was
forced to return to hospital this month, where, his family said, "the
doctors and medical staff... said he kept them entertained to the last.
"He
was grateful for the love of his fans... they would all understand that he
would like to be remembered with a smile and not with tears."

Rishi Kapoor lost his life to cancer. Here's what we know about the cancer he
suffered from

Veteran
actor Rishi Kapoor, one of the most celebrated actors in the industry passed
away last month after a 2-year-long battle with cancer. He was 67.
Rishi
Kapoor was admitted to a hospital after he complained of breathing trouble and
has been in and out of hospitals in the recent months due to complications.
What
we know so far
Rishi
Kapoor's health has been in troubled water for a while now. In 2018, he was
diagnosed with a form of cancer and immediately shifted to New York for the
treatment. Although the family never disclosed the exact details of his
treatment or diagnosis, they did speak up at great lengths about undergoing a
tough time through the later months. Rishi Kapoor admitted that he was
undergoing treatment for his He went at length to talk about "marrow"
problems.
In
the start of this year again, Rishi Kapoor experienced some breathing
difficulties and was quietly admitted to a hospital in Delhi where he was
placed under intensive care of specialist doctors. Although news never broke
out, it has been suspected that the 67-year-old actor was admitted to the
hospital due to a possible pneumonia infection and the diagnosis is not
positive.
The
actor's health has been keeping his family and friends anxious for a while. It
has been long reported that the actor was in a mode of denial and not accepting
his problems. A source said:
“I
was running a slight fever and on the investigation, Dr.s found a patch which
could have lead to pneumonia, was detected and is being cured. People seem to
have assumed a lot different. I put to rest all those stories and look forward
to entertain and love you. I am now in Mumbai.”
It
is rather sad considering the way Rishi always spoke about things in a positive
attitude. The very last interview, he spoke about his health, saying:
“When
we say bad days, we don’t mean I had some invasive surgery or bad pain. Nothing
of the sort. It was just …people have issues with their kidney, they have
problems with liver or heart, I had a marrow problem and I had to get it
rectified. So there is nothing such as a serious issue. Just that between two
treatments, there was a long gap and during that time, as she (Neetu) said, we
just went out and around town. You are doing nothing, you cannot fly or travel
long distance. I have gone through a treatment and thankfully it is successful.
Thank you for the great and lovely blessings and duas of all my friends and
family and fans..I really thank all of them that we had the courage to sail
through.”

Kapoor often collaborated with his wife, actress Neetu Singh, with whom he had two children, including Ranbir Kapoor. He died of leukemia on 30 April 2020, aged 67.[13][14]
Kapoor married actress Neetu Singh, who he had worked with in several films, in 1980.[9] The couple had two children— son, actor Ranbir Kapoor, and daughter, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni.[25]
Kapoor's autobiography Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored, was released on 15 January 2017. Kapoor wrote the book along with Meena Iyer, and the title was published under Harper Collins.[26][27] Kapoor's comments on being a "beef-eating Hindu" became controversial.[28][29][30]
Kapoor was known to make controversial socio-political comments. In March 2016, he criticized the Nehru–Gandhi family over naming of roads, buildings and national assets in the name of Gandhi and Nehru.[31] In September 2017, he again took on the Gandhi family by slamming Rahul Gandhi over dynastic politics.[32]. In March 2020, he expressed anger and criticized the Indian Judiciary with the "Tareekh Pe Tareekh" dialogue of his film Damini over the delay in execution of the four perpetrators who were convicted in the Nirbhaya case due to loopholes in the laws.[33] The convicts were finally executed on 20th March at 5:30 am in Tihar Jail after it was deferred thrice.[34]
Around the age of three, Kapoor's first on-screen appearance was a cameo in his father Raj Kapoor's film Shree 420 (1955),[9] where he would appear in the musical sequence of "Pyar Hua, Iqrar Hua Hai".[21] Likewise, Raj Kapoor would direct the film that provided Rishi his debut role, the 1970 film Mera Naam Joker, in which the actor would portray the young version of the lead character (played by Raj Kapoor).[35][9]
Lead roles (1973–2000)
Rishi Kapoor's first leading role would come in adulthood, opposite Dimple Kapadia, in the 1973 film Bobby, also directed by his father.[9]Bobby went on to become one of the decade's biggest hits in India,[36] and earned Rishi Kapoor the Filmfare Best Actor Award.[21] Regarding the film, he would say in a 2012 interview:[12]: "There was a misconception that the film was made to launch me as an actor. The film was actually made to pay the debts of Mera Naam Joker. Dad wanted to make a teenage love story and he did not have money to cast Rajesh Khanna in the film". Following Bobby (1973), he starred in several light-hearted comedies within that decade, including, among others: Rafoo Chakkar (1975), with Neetu Singh; Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), with Amitabh Bachchan; and Khel Khel Mein (1975) and Hum Kisise Kum Naheen (1977) with Zeenat Aman.[9]
He worked with actress Neetu Singh for the first time in Zahreela Insaan (1974). The two would go on to share the screen in multiple projects, including Kabhi Kabhi (1976) and Doosra Aadmi (1976), and would eventually marry in 1980.[25]
In 1980, Kapoor starred along with Tina Munim in director Subhash Ghai's reincarnation thriller Karz (1980), which went on to become a cult classic with popular music. In a role considered as one of his best works, Kapoor played an idealistic Devdhar in the 1982 film Prem Rog, a film based on the concept of widow remarriage, co-starring Padmini Kolhapure[37] Another highlight of his career, was Saagar in 1985, directed by noted director Ramesh Sippy, which saw Kapoor reunite with Dimple Kapadia, 12 years after they made their debuts in Bobby.[38] He appeared as the second lead in several multi-starrer films in the 1980s such as Naseeb (1981), Kaatilon Ke Kaatil (1981), Coolie (1983), Dosti Dushmani (1986), Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani (1988) and Gharana (1989). In the 1986 drama Ek Chadar Maili Si, adapted from Rajendra Singh Bedi's novel of the same name, Kapoor would play a man forced by customs to marry his widowed sister-in-law, played by Hema Malini.[21][39]
In 2019, two films of Kapoor's were released: Jhootha Kahin Ka, a comedy-drama film directed by Smeep Kang; and The Body, co-starring Emraan Hashmi, a mystery-thriller written and directed by Jeethu Joseph.[46] Released on 13 December 2019, The Body would be Kapoor's last film.[14] Hitesh Bhatia's Sharmaji Namkeen (2020), co-starring Juhi Chawla, was under production and four day schedule was pending at the time of Kapoor's death.[47] Producer Honey Trehan on May 08, 2020 confirmed that the film will be released in theatres.[48]

Neetu Kapoor (née Neetu Singh; born Harneet Kaur born 8 July 1958 [2]) is an Indian actress who appeared in Hindi films. She started acting at the age of 8 under the name Baby Sonia,[2] and made her acting debut in 1966 with the film Suraj. Her other early roles included starring in the films Dus Lakh (1966), starring in a double role in the film Do Kaliyaan (1968), as well as appearing in Waris (1969) and Pavitra Paapi (1970). She made her adult debut in 1973 with the film Rickshawala, and went on to appear in 50 films as the lead heroine from 1973 to 1983. She made her comeback in 2009, appearing opposite her husband in the film Love Aaj Kal, and has since appeared in Do Dooni Chaar (2010), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012), and Besharam (2013).
Neetu Singh made her debut as a child actress with the film Suraj in 1966, with Rajendra Kumar and Vyjanthimala as the lead pair. She was spotted by actress Vyjanthimala in her dance school, who suggested to T. Prakash Rao that Neetu be taken for the small uncredited role in the film Suraj. She starred as the child artiste in films such as Dus Lakh, Waris, Pavitra Paapi and Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani. She appeared in a role originally played by Kutty Padmini in Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum, in its Hindi remake Do Kaliyaan.
Two years after the success of the film Rickshawkaran, in 1973, R. M. Veerappan (Sathiya Movies) decided to remake his Tamil movie into Hindi as Rickshawala (1973). The original Tamil film was a major commercial success and won M. G. Ramachandran the National Film Award for Best Actor. The remake was directed by MGR's friend, K.Shankar with the actor Randhir Kapoor and the actress Neetu Singh. The director duo Krishnan-Panju, who had directed Do Kaliyaan, suggested to K. Shankar, that he can take Neetu Singh to reprise the role played by Manjula Vijayakumar in the original. This paved the way for Neetu Singh's debut at the age of 20 as the lead heroine. However, the remake was a flop. She took a small role as the dancer in Yaadon Ki Baarat (1973), which became a hit, and her dance number to the song "Lekar Hum" brought her so much attention that she was immediately offered lead roles again. In most films, Neetu was cast as the fun-loving daughter, or the "optimistic" or "lively" girlfriend.
She acted with the top stars of her day. She was paired with her future brother-in-law Randhir Kapoor in Heeralal Pannalal (1978), Bhala Manus, Kasme Vaade, Dhongee and in the delayed Nikkamma. The film Nikkamma, begun in 1976, was finally released in 1983 as Jaan-e-Jaan and became a dud, though the song composed by R.D. Burman - "Tere bina mein kuch bhi nahin hoon" was popular. She was also paired opposite actors such as her future uncle-in-law Shashi Kapoor in hits such as Deewaar (1975), Shankar Dada, Ek Aur Ek Gyarah and the dud Kala Pani (1980). She was paired opposite Rajesh Khanna in the action-comedy film Maha Chor, the suspense film Chakravyuha and in the Punjabi film Sawa Lakh Se Ek Ladaun.
Neetu Singh formed a pair with her boyfriend and then husband Rishi Kapoor in 12 films of which Khel Khel Mein (1975), Rafoo Chakkar (1975), Kabhie Kabhie (1976), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Duniya Meri Jeb Mein (1979) and their guest appearance in Pati Patni Aur Woh (1978) were successful. The other films; Zehreela Insaan (1974), Zinda Dil (1975), Doosara Aadmi (1977), Anjane Mein (1978), Jhoota Kahin Ka (1979) and Dhan Daulat (1980) were box office failures. She was paired with Jeetendra in Dharam Veer (1977), Priyatama, Chorni, Jaani Dushman (1979), The Burning Train and opposite Vinod Khanna in Sewak, Parvarish (1977), Maha Badmaash, Yuvraaj and Raj Mahal. She was paired with Shatrughan Sinha only in Kaala Patthar (1979) and Ab kya hoga (1977). Of the 50 films she did as the lead heroine from 1973 to 1983, 25 were box office hits. She regards her roles in the films Chakravyuha, Chorni, Priyatma and Dhongee as her best.
Neetu was 21 when she married Kapoor in January 1980. She was at the top of her career, having just been nominated for a Filmfare Award as Best Supporting Actress for Kaala
Patthar (1979),[3] but she retired.[1] She dismissed allegations that she left the film industry, as part of the Kapoor tradition which forbids women from acting in films, claiming that it was her 'personal choice.'[4][5]She made a comeback to films after 26 years, appearing opposite her husband in Love Aaj Kal (2009), Do Dooni Chaar (2010), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) and Besharam (2013). Singh and Kapoor were awarded "Best Lifetime Jodi" (couple) at the 2011 Zee Cine Awards ceremony.[6]
