Zainab Abbas, a female sports anchor from Pakistan shared the picture of Irrfan on her Twitter handle. She tweeted: Pic shared by @Furqan013 - there’s actor Irfan Khan enjoying the match at Lord’s.
In the picture, the 51-year-old actor is seen resting his left hand on his head below which is a towel apparently to keep him cool from the heat.
The picture was originally shared by Furqan Bhatti who we believe works as a cameraman for a cricket website. He also shared the picture which was displayed on his preview screen. ABP News has not been able to verify the picture as it was earlier reported by a local Indian Hindi newspaper that the actor was undergoing treatment for cancer.
If the cancer reports are to be believed, the actor would definitely not be present at such a crowded place (transmission of infections) till the time he completely recovers. This also suggests that the picture could be morphed.
However, a user who replied to the tweet by Zainab tried to confirm that the actor was sitting just in front of him. “He was sitting in front of me.. A few people came and asked him for a picture but he refused..i think because of his health. He looked really really weak,” Ali Nomi said.
