Veteran actor Mushtaq Khan’s sudden demise has left the Hindi film industry and his countless fans heartbroken. Known for his memorable comic and character roles in films like Welcome, Aashiqui, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, Hera Pheri and Stree 2, the actor passed away on September 24 after battling cancer.

What makes his death even more heartbreaking is the revelation made by his son, Mohsin Khan, about his father’s final days. According to Mohsin, Mushtaq had been completely fine and continued working shortly before his hospitalisation. He was shooting for the debut film of Salman Khan’s bodyguard Shera’s son before his health suddenly deteriorated.

He Was Still Working Despite His Health Struggles

Speaking about his father’s condition, Mohsin revealed that Mushtaq had complained of stomach pain, following which the family took him to the hospital. Doctors discovered that he was suffering from cancer and his health worsened rapidly in the following days.

Despite his health struggles, Mushtaq remained connected to his biggest passion — acting. Just before his hospitalisation, he was busy shooting and continued working. His son’s account paints a picture of an actor who remained committed to his craft until his final days.

“Papa Ko Umeed Thi Ki Woh Wapas Lautenge”

Mohsin also revealed that his father had hoped to return home. Even during his final days, there was hope that he would recover and get back to his normal life.

Sadly, that hope could not become reality. Mushtaq Khan passed away at Mumbai’s Nanavati Hospital on September 24 after his condition deteriorated.

Son Mohsin’s Emotional Message To Fans

In the aftermath of his father’s death, Mohsin shared an emotional message for those who loved Mushtaq Khan and his work. He urged fans to remember and celebrate his life rather than only mourn his passing.

For decades, Mushtaq entertained audiences with his distinctive comic timing and memorable supporting roles. From Aashiqui and Gadar to Welcome, Hera Pheri and Stree 2, he became a familiar face in Hindi cinema.

A Legacy That Will Live On

Mushtaq Khan may have often played supporting characters but many of those characters became unforgettable. His screen presence and comic timing made even smaller roles stand out.

His final days reveal just how closely he remained connected to acting. While reports confirm that he was shooting shortly before his hospitalisation, there is no indication that he literally continued shooting until the moment of his death.

For the fans who laughed with him and remembered his many iconic characters, Mushtaq Khan’s work will continue to keep his memory alive.
