The creator of the show, Gursimran Khamba, also took to his Instagram handle and confirmed the same by sharing a picture of Irrfan from the sets of ‘Gormint.’ Khamba wrote, “To everyone who’s been asking me “What’s happening with The Ministry? (now Gormint).I’d like to inform everyone that due to Irrfan sirs unfortunate health situation we’ve jointly decided that he no longer be cast in the show. Over the last year as we worked on the show he’s been everything from a friend, teacher to a mentor and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to collaborate with him. Life mein aise mauke kam hi milte hain – but abhi jo bhi likhoonga cliche lagega – toh woh saari stories baad mein. For now, from me and all of us at AIB, all we want is for him to get healthy and healed so we can plan more shenanigans together in the future. I still look forward to excitable 3 am calls from him with terrific random ideas for the show. And with a heavy heart, as we all begin to imagine and work on the show without him, I can only hope that we will still make something worthy of the vision and passion sir showed for it. Get well and be better soon! Abhi bahut designs ke kurte try karne hain! :).”
