Irrfan Khan Death: Inspirational Quotes By 'Jurassic World' Actor

Irrfan Khan, who acted in movies including "Life of Pi" and "Jurassic World", died at the age of 53 in the Indian state of Maharashtra on Wednesday (April 29).

The actor, who was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumor in 2018, was admitted to a hospital Tuesday with a colon infection. A statement on behalf of the actor’s family read:

"'I trust, I have surrendered'; These were the some of the many words that Irrfan expressed in a heart-felt note he wrote in 2018 opening up about his fight with cancer. And a man of few words and an actor of silent expressions with his deep eyes and his memorable actions on screen. It's saddening that this day, we have to bring forward the news of him passing away. Irrfan was a strong soul, someone who fought till the very end and always inspired everyone who came close to him. After having been struck by lightning in 2018 with the news of a rare cancer, he took life soon after as it came and he fought the many battles that came with it. Surrounded by his love, his family for whom he most cared about, he left for heaven abode, leaving behind truly a legacy of his own. We all pray and hope that he is at peace. And to resonate and part with his words he had said, 'As if I was tasting life for the first time, the magical side of it.’”

Here are few inspirational quotes by the magnificent actor who has left behind millions of heart-broken fans –

• “ You cannot reduce the power of story with the tag of money because it's not a share market. So you must know the seriousness of the power of storytelling.”
• “The sign of a good society is where talent is respected.”
• “Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you're lacking inside, you've fulfilled that.”
• “What happens with every role, you have to trick yourself, you have to creatively find ways to explore the mental state of your character.”
• “I've realized that my... let me call it 'destiny' or some force that has pushed me to identify looking for your comfort zone as a kind of limitation. And everybody has a tendency to fall into the comfort zone. I did that in the early stage of my career.”
• “When you come out of the theatre and you don't even talk about that film or remember it, then it disappoints me.”
• “I can't think of a more pathetic situation for an actor than to do a film and not connect to it. And I pray to God that I never face that situation.”
