Will take care of Ashraful Haque’s nine-year-old son: Anurag Kashyap

Anurag Kashyap, who is himself father of a daughter, told Mumbai Mirror: “He was one of my closest friends and we knew each other since our struggling days. From my TV show to short-films to features, I worked with him quite often as he was a terrific actor. I was aware of his illness and we knew that his health was fast deteriorating. We were all there for him and it’s truly tragic that he had to depart so soon. Our priority now is to take care of his 9-year-old son.”

The sudden demise of the actor came as a shock to the film industry. He was suffering from a rare disorder called Myelodysplastic Syndrome and was on a verge of recovering from the disease. A graduate from the National School of Drama, he was seen in movies like ‘Fukrey’, ‘Delhi Belly’, ‘Paan Singh Tomar’, ‘Company’ and ‘Black Friday’.

Ashraful Haque has acted in more than 30 plays and 30 movies.
