This morning we
woke up to Irrfan Khan’s emotional letter where he talks about is journey as he
battles cancer. Now, the actor has changed his Twitter display picture after
months. In the photograph, Irrfan is seen enjoying England Vs Pakistan cricket
match at Lord’s. One look at the picture and we cannot help but notice that it
is similar to the snap which went viral months ago wherein Irrfan was
clicked at the stadium.
While it was not
confirmed by the actor Zainab Abbas, sports anchor for Dunya News, who was
covering the event and uploaded a picture of Irrfan on Twitter and wrote, “Pic
shared by @Furqan013 - there’s actor Irfan Khan enjoying the match at Lord’s”
Irrfan, in his
note, told his fans about the stadium, which is opposite his hospital. He said,
“As I was entering the hospital, drained, exhausted, listless, I hardly
realised my hospital was on the opposite side of Lord’s, the stadium. The Mecca
of my childhood dream. Amidst the pain, I saw a poster of a smiling Vivian
Richards. Nothing happened, as if that world didn’t ever belong to me.”
He futher wrote,
“This hospital also had a coma ward right above me. Once, while standing on the
balcony of my hospital room, the peculiarity jolted me. Between the game of
life and the game of death, there is just a road. On one side, a hospital, on
the other, a stadium. As if one isn’t part of anything which might claim
certainty – neither the hospital, nor the stadium. That hit me hard.”
