Irrfan Khan's mother Saeda Begum died on Saturday morning at the age of 85. According to ANI, she was not keeping well for a long time. Saeda Begum was staying in the Beniwal Kanta Krishna Colony in Jaipur during her last days. She belonged to the Nawab family of Tonk. Reportedly, the funeral was to be held on Saturday evening. Irrfan's brothers are in Jaipur, but the actor is in Mumbai. Irrfan who is stranded in Mumbai won't be able to fly to Jaipur anytime soon.

Irrfan was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour in 2018. Soon after informing his fan about his disease, the actor flew to London for the treatment. Meanwhile, he appeared in one film, Angrezi Medium. The comedy-drama directed by Homi Adajania had an impressive star cast including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepak Dobriyal, Pankaj Tripathi among others. 

The movie released worldwide and in certain parts of India on March 13. However, soon the lockdown was announced and cinema halls had to shut. Angrezi Medium was later released on OTT.

Irrfan didn't even promote Angrezi Medium. He informed his fans about his decision with a polite audio message saying that due to some "unwanted guests (cancer) in his body", he had to leave the country for the treatment.

 


 
Talking about his wife's support, the actor in an interview with Mumbai Mirror had said, "What to say about Sutapa? She is there 24/7. She has evolved in care-giving and if I get to live, I want to live for her." Irrfan added: "She is the reason for me to keep at it still".
