He is survived by his wife, TV producer Sutapa Sikdar, and sons Babil and Ayan. 
Irrfan Khan brought a modern sensibility to his movies. He made his debut with Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay in 1988, with whom he worked again in The Namesake.
The tall and lanky actor won a national award for his performance in Paan Singh Tomar. He was also awarded with Padma Shri, one of India’s highest civilian honours.
Too soon to leave @irrfank Ji. Your work always left me in awe. Youre one of the finest actors I know, I wish you stayed longer. You deserved more time. Strength to the family at this time.

Khan was among the first Indian actors to make a consistent mark in Western cinema, following earlier crossover pioneers like Saeed Jaffrey, Roshan Seth and Om Puri.
He featured in several award-winning international films such as The Warrior, Slumdog Millionaire and Life of Pi. In Hollywood, he worked in The Amazing Spider-Man, Inferno and Jurassic World.
The actor was last seen in Bollywood comedy Angrezi Medium, which was released in March.
Born Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan in the western state of Rajasthan, in a family with no ties to cinema, the actor recalled in interviews that as children, he and his siblings were not allowed to watch movies.
The only exception was when a visiting uncle took them to the theatre.
I’m sorry to hear about the passing of Irrfan Khan. A versatile & talented actor, he was a popular Indian brand ambassador on the global film & tv stage. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family, friends & fans at this time of grief.

“An incredible talent,” said Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan in one of many Twitter tributes over Khan’s death.
“A gracious colleague. A prolific contributor to the world of cinema .. left us too soon creating a huge vacuum, said the actor who worked with him in Piku.
Filmmaker Karan Johar said, “Thank you for raising the bar as an artist … Thank you for enriching our cinema… We will miss you terribly, Irrfan.”
