Khan was born in Rajasthan to a Muslim family. Khan's mother,
Begum Khan and his father, the late Jagirdar Khan, were from the Khajuriya village near the Tonk district
and ran a tire business.[13][14] Irrfan and his best friend Satish Sharma were good at cricket and later, Irrfan
was selected for the CK Nayudu Tournament for emerging players under 23 years as a stepping stone to
first-class cricket in India. However, he could not turn up for the tournament owing to lack of funds.[15]

Khan was studying for his MA degree when he earned a scholarship to study at National School of Drama
(NSD) in New Delhi in 1984.

Career
Khan moved to Mumbai, where he acted in numerous television serials, including Chanakya, Bharat Ek
Khoj, Sara Jahan Hamara, Banegi Apni Baat, Chandrakanta, Shrikant (Doordarshan), AnooGoonj on
Doordarshan, Star Bestsellers (Star Plus), and Sparsh. Earlier, he had acted in a teleplay on Doordarshan
named Laal Ghaas Par Neele Ghode where he played Lenin. It was based on a translation by Uday Prakash
of a Russian play by Mikhail Shatrov. He was the main villain in a series called Darr (which aired on Star
Plus), where he played the role of a psycho serial killer, opposite Kay Kay Menon. He also played the role
of famous revolutionary Urdu poet and Marxist political activist of India Makhdoom Mohiuddin in
Kahkashan, produced by Ali Sardar Jafri. He acted in some of the episodes of Star Bestsellers (aired on
Star-Plus). In one of the episodes ("Ek Sham Ki Mulakat"), his role was of a parchoon shopkeeper who has a
misconception that his landlord's wife is trying to seduce him and it turns out that his own wife (Tisca
Chopra) is cheating on him. In the other one, he played the role of an office accountant who, after being
insulted by his female boss, took revenge. He also appeared in a serial called Bhanvar (aired on SET India)
for two episodes. In one episode, he performed the role of a thug who somehow lands in court. Theatre and
television kept him afloat until Mira Nair offered him a cameo in Salaam Bombay! (1988) though his role
was edited out in the final film. He then featured opposite Roopa Ganguly in Basu Chatterjee's critically
acclaimed drama film Kamla Ki Maut (1989).[16]

In the 1990s, he appeared in the critically acclaimed films Ek Doctor Ki Maut and Such a Long Journey
(1998) and various other films which went unnoticed. In 1998, Khan played role of "Rantnakar" the Bandit,
aka "Valmiki" who was BANDIT and turned into the well known Monk / Poet who wrote "The Ramayana"
in Sanjay Khan's serial "Jay Hanuman". After many unsuccessful films, things changed when London-based
director Asif Kapadia gave him the lead in The Warrior, a historical film completed in 11 weeks on location
in Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. In 2001, The Warrior opened in international film festivals, making
Khan a known face.[17]

Between 2003 and 2004, he acted in Ashvin Kumar's short film, Road to Ladakh. After the film received
rave reviews at international festivals,[18] the film was being made into a full-length feature starring
Khan.[19] That same year he played the title role in the critically acclaimed Maqbool, an adaptation of
Shakespeare's Macbeth.

His first Bollywood lead role came in 2005 with film Rog. His performance was praised by critics; one
wrote, "Irfaan's eyes speak louder than his words and every time he is in frame, be it talking to his buddy
Manish or arguing with Suhel, he shows his capability as an actor".[20] Thereafter he appeared in several
films either playing the leading role or a supporting role as a villain. In 2004 he won the Filmfare Best
Villain Award for his role in film Haasil. Critics praised his performance in Haasil, saying that "as the
ambitious, brash, fearless goon who is mind-blowing. He is outright scary and makes you sit up, wondering
what he'll do next".[21] He also played an antagonist in the Telugu film Sainikudu.
In 2007, he appeared in the box office hits Metro, for which he received a Filmfare Best Supporting Actor
Award, and The Namesake. His chemistry with Konkana Sen in Metro was one of the highlights of the
multi-star movie. They were closely followed by his appearance in the international films A Mighty Heart
and The Darjeeling Limited.

toured the West Bank. He also plays the police inspector in the 2008
film Slumdog Millionaire, for which he and the cast of the movie
won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a
Cast in a Motion Picture. About him, Danny Boyle said, "he has an
instinctive way of finding the 'moral center' of any character, so that
in Slumdog, we believe the policeman might actually conclude that
Jamal is innocent. Boyle compares him to an athlete who can
execute the same move perfectly over and over. 'It's beautiful to
watch.'"[22]

In 2009, he featured in the film Acid Factory. Khan has stated that
Irrfan Khan at premiere of The
he wants to do more action films in the future.[23] He also appeared

Khan played Dr. Rajit Ratha in The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012.[24] Khan played the adult version of
Piscine "Pi" Molitor Patel in Ang Lee's film adaptation of Life of Pi, which became a critical and
commercial success worldwide. In 2013, he starred in The Lunchbox, which won the Grand Rail d'Or at
Cannes Film Festival and received a BAFTA nomination, and became his highest-grossing Hindi film up
until then.[25]

In 2014, Khan appeared in Gunday, which was a moderate box office success. He also made guest
appearances in the films The Xpose and Haider, playing an important role in the latter. In 2015, he played

In 2017, Khan appeared in two films, Hindi Medium and Qarib Qarib Singlle. The former was
commercially and critically successful, while the latter was an average grosser. Khan's portrayal as Raj Batra

year. Hindi Medium became a sleeper hit in India and China, becoming his highest-grossing Hindi release,
surpassing The Lunchbox.[25] As of 2017, his films have grossed US$3.643 billion at the worldwide box
office.[10]
In 2018, Khan appeared in Karwan, with Dulquer Salmaan, Mithila Palkar and Kriti Kharbanda. The film

the state government of Rajasthan.[28] He lent his voice to the light and sound show at the war memorial for
the Indian army at Vidhan Sabha Road, Jaipur. This show portrays the valour and courage of the Rajasthani
soldiers and their historic and modern triumphs in battle.[29]

Personal life
On 23 February 1995, Khan married writer and fellow NSD graduate Sutapa Sikdar. They had two sons,
Babil and Ayan.[1]

Sikdar said about him, "He was always focused. I remember when he would come home, he would head
straight for the bedroom, sit on the floor, and read books. The rest of us would be hanging around
gossiping." Even now, as he reads through at least one new Hollywood script a week, he believes in doing
his homework, staying up till 3 in the morning, taking notes, trying to understand ways to play his character.
Sikdar recalls how he would demand as many as 11 rewrites from her when he directed episodes of Banegi
Apni Baat. "Once he dragged me to a police station in Mumbai to understand procedure," she recalls.[30] In
2012, he changed the spelling of his name from "Irfan" to "Irrfan" and has said he likes the sound of the
extra "r" in his name.[31]

Illness and death

In February 2018, Khan was diagnosed with "undisclosed disease",[32][33][34][35] and it was speculated by
many media outlets that he has "brain cancer".[36] After much speculation, the actor took to his Twitter
account and announced that he would "share his story" in "a week - ten days" and asked the media and fans
not to "speculate" anything.[37][38] On 16 March 2018, Khan announced through a Twitter post that he was
suffering from a neuroendocrine tumour - a rare form of cancer that can target various parts of the body.[39]
He travelled to London for treatment.[40][41]

He was admitted to Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital on 28 April 2020, where he started
receiving treatment for a colon infection. He died the following day at age 53, from the infection, four days
after his mother's death in Jaipur.[42][2][43] Multiple Bollywood personalities, including actors Amitabh
Bachchan and Kamal Haasan paid tributes online upon the news of his death.[44][45]
