A picture of a man seated
in the crowd at Lord’s stadium, London has surfaced on Internet and reports
claim that it is actor Irrfan Khan, who is currently in London recuperating
from neuroendocrine tumour. While the man is a spitting image of Irrfan
Khan, enjoying a cricket match at Lord’s stadium, it is not confirmed yet that
it is the actor himself. Although Zainab Abbas, sports anchor for Dunya
News, was covering the event and took to his Twitter handle and
posted his picture with the caption, “Pic shared by @Furqan013 - there’s actor
Irfan Khan enjoying the match at Lord’s”

Twitter went abuzz on
seeing the picture and a debate started soon after on whether it is Irrfan or
not. There was a user, who also tweeted saying that it was indeed Irrfan, as he
was seated just a row ahead of him. He even said that many came to take a
picture with him but the actor refused citing his health.
Talking about the Piku
actor’s last tweet, Irrfan after a long while tweeted a poster of his film
Karwaan. He was off Twitter after he reached London for his treatment. A few
days back, Soojit Sircar confirmed that Irrfan is doing better and is on a road
to recovery. The director had visited him in UK.
Coming back to this
picture, whether it is of Irrfan’s or not, is not sure but surely fans would
want to believe that it is their favourite actor enjoying a cricket match.
