Khan, was previously diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour in 2018 and underwent extensive treatment in London. He recovered well enough to shoot what would turn out to be his last film “Angrezi Medium..."
After a brief stint in television, Khan made his film debut with a cameo in 1988 with Mira Nair’s Oscar-nominated “Salaam Bombay.” He returned to Indian television for the next decade. He shot to global prominence playing the lead in Asif Kapadia’s BAFTA winner “The Warrior” in 2001.
His major breakthrough in Indian cinema was in 2004 where he played Macbeth in Vishal Bharadwaj’s “Maqbool” and the antagonist in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s “Haasil.” In 2011, his turn as a soldier-turned-bandit in Dhulia’s “Paan Singh Tomar” earned him India’s National Award for best actor.

Good actor- sorry for his family
Sad news. Sympathies to his family and friends.
Wow -watches his mom’s funeral from his hospital bed and dies a few days later.
I liked him in Jurassic World
So young, fine actor.
Agreed, great actor.
But I remember a time when I thought a person at 53 years old was middle aged if not “old”. Heck I remember when anyone over 40 was “old” and old enough to remember the saying in the 60’s – “never trust anyone over 30”.
That a 53-year old is now considered “young” is perhaps an indication to our overall increased life expectancy and improvement in overall health.
It’s also relative as the older I get (now 59), the younger I am compared to those really “old” people (70-80+) and the younger than those younger than I seem.
I recall seeing a doctor in the ER about 2 years ago when I had a severe upper respiratory infection causing an uncontrollable nose bleed and a dangerous spike in my BP - this doctor was probably in his early to mid-30’s and me thinking he’s such a “kid” and the same age as my nephew who I used to baby sit and change his diapers. He was in fact a very good doctor but he looked like Doogie Howser to me.
RIP.
