Babil Khan misses late father Irrfan Khan, heartfelt post |

Irrfan Khan’s demise in 2020 left the Indian movie industry in silence for days. His son, Babil Khan, started exciting the audience with his promising talent like his father. Babil often shares pictures and videos of himself with his late father Irrfan, which are capable of touching the hearts of many well-wishers of Irrfan and his family. Recently, Babil wrote a lengthy post about Irrfan and his influence in his life.
On February 9, Babil Khan took to his Instagram account and shared a picture with Irrfan Khan.The father-son duo can be seen standing in a boat, with Irrfan holding a fish hook in his hands. Both of them look stunning in winter outfits. Babil wrote, “Nobody knew him like I did, nobody has known me like he did. It’s easy to say, to miss him, it’s easy. It’s easy to be cathartic and cry about losing him. It’s easy. Do you know what is hard? To remember the ecstasy in his voice when he would raise it in exaltation to scream ‘BABILUUUU!!!’ every single time he’d see me. To remember then, how painful it would be to lose him for the stretches of barren time when he would be away shooting. It is impossible to bear the memory of how his beard felt on my fingers when I would scratch his cheek as he read his script or how my fingertips would rest gently on his eyelids when he took a nap. His voice was brilliantly deep, yet it evoked nothing but a gentle prayer from me, a prayer that could only rise from one’s within when an external force has calmed your existential jitters to stillness.”

He could not hold his emotions, in a deeply touching tone, he continued writing, “I wish I could have one last dance with you. And to tell you that without your lessons, I never would have survived. I will look for you. I will find you again. Somewhere. Beyond.”

The way Babil mentioned that he is in search of his father in every good soul left netizens heavy-hearted. One of the Instagram users commented, “Your father is the greatest actor our generation has seen. Glad to be in the Irrfan’s era.” The other one wrote, “The caption is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking:’).”

Babil Khan had his Bollywood debut with ‘Qala’. His last appearance was in the OTT release ‘The Railway Men’ alongside Kay Kay Menon, R Madhavan, and Divyenndu.
