Irrfan left for London with his family for the treatment and since then he has been keeping his fans updated about his health condition. But not many know that before the actor left for his treatment Shah Rukh Khan had handed over the keys of his London home to him.
The ‘Billu’ co-stars are good friends and before Irrfan left for London, he expressed his desire to meet Shah Rukh Khan. Irrfan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar called Khan, who rushed to meet his friend.
Shah Rukh Khan spent nearly two hours with Irrfan, and before leaving, handed him the keys of his house in London. SRK wanted to make sure that Irrfan and his family felt at home in London while battling the health crisis.
Irrfan Khan is at present responding well to the treatment and his good friend filmmaker Shoojit Sircar feels that he will soon be back home. The actor is looking forward to the release of his next ‘Karwaan’. The film also stars South star, Dulquer Salmaan, and Mithila Palkar and will release on August 10 this year. Apart from this project, Irrfan Khan will also be seen in Hollywood film ‘Puzzle’ which is directed by Marc Turtletaub. It is based on the 2010 Argentine film of the same name. The film had recently premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
