Irrfan Khan: Slumdog Millionaire actor dies at 53

Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, known internationally for roles in Slumdog Millionaire and Jurassic World, has died at the age of 53.

His agency said Khan died in a hospital in the western city of Mumbai.

In 2018, the actor posted on twitter to say that he was diagnosed with an endocrine tumour, a rare illness affecting cells that release hormones into the bloodstream.

He later underwent treatment in a London hospital.

Two months after he went public with his diagnosis, he wrote an open letter about his experience with the cancer treatment, reflecting on the intensity of his pain and the uncertainty of life.
