Ashraful Haque passes away

According to a Mumbai Mirror report, after the demise of Fukrey actor Ashraf-ul-Haq, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's priority is to take care of the actor's 9-year-old son. Ashraf-ul-Haq was much liked within the film fraternity and the theatre circuit and all his close friends were aware of his illness, the report stated. Anurag Kashyap, who directed the actor in his critically-acclaimed Black Friday said to 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."

While Fukrey co-star Pulkit Samrat added, “It's tragic. His work has always been worth learning from. May God bless his soul."

Richa Chadda was quoted in the report, "The industry has lost him too soon. I wasn't aware that he was unwell. To me, he will always be Smakiya, the guy who selflessly helped every Fukra."
