Mushtaq Khan, known for his role in Welcome, passes away
His son said doctors discovered cancer after he complained of stomach pain, and the actor had appeared in more than 500 films.
- Filmmaker Anees Bazmee shared an emotional tribute to actor Mushtaq Khan on Thursday, remembering the late performer who played fan-favourite Balu in the 2007 comedy Welcome, writing 'Shocked and speechless by the passing of Mushtaq Bhai .'
- Khan's health deteriorated after his lung cancer relapsed eight days prior; he was admitted to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai around two weeks earlier after complaining of stomach pain, where doctors discovered cancer in advanced stages.
- Khan passed away on Thursday at age 56 around 7 pm, with his son Mohsin Khan telling PTI: 'He passed away due to cancer at Nanavati hospital at around 7pm. His health worsened in the last few days.'
- Mohsin urged fans to celebrate his father's life rather than mourn, while actor Rajpal Yadav revealed he had visited Khan in hospital that day and held his hand, saying 'I still can't believe that the person I met two hours ago is no longer among us.'
- Khan's four-decade career began in 1980 with Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyon Aata Hai and spanned over 500 films, including classics like Aashiqui, Hera Pheri, and Gadar before recent appearances in Gadar 2, Badhaai Do, and Stree 2.
