Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman has sent her love to the near and dear ones of Irrfan. Remembering Irrfan, Portman took to Instagram to share a photo of herself with the actor. In the photo, she is in a white bridal wear and is held by Irrfan, who is in a black and white suit with a hat. "Sending love to Irrfan Khan's loved ones today," she captioned the snap. The two had featured together in Mira Nair's segment of New York, I Love You, a 2008 American romantic comedy-drama anthology film.

 Bestselling author Paulo Coelho paid a moving tribute to Indian actor Irrfan Khan using a quote from Bhagavad Gita, saying, "A star joins other stars in the sky".

Thank you for everything, Irrfan Khan. ‘Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable' -- Bhagavad Gita," he posted.
