MUMBAI: Irrfan Khan was an excellent actor in Bollywood who will always be remembered with respect. After a protracted fight with cancer, he passed away on April 29, 2020, leaving a lasting loss in the film industry as well as the hearts of fans. He was 53. He was a shining example of talent in both Bollywood and Hollywood, whether it was portraying Pi Patel in Life of Pie or Rana in Piku.
His son Babil Khan is renowned for his skill as an actor in movies like The Railway Men and Qala and is currently following in his footsteps. Babil Khan frequently talks openly about how much he loves his father, how the great actor has influenced his life, and what lessons he has learned from him.
On the fourth anniversary of Irrfan Khan's death, let's recall the times Babil discussed Irrfan Khan.
In February, Babil Khan recalled the time he spent with Irrfan Khan on a boat ride in a winter wonderland. Babil uploaded a photo of them dressed in winter outfits. They can be seen standing in a boat with Irfaan staring sideways, and Babil looking at a distance.
Expressing his emotions, 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.” He also shared some candid moments he spent with his father.
Babil Khan shared some childhood memories in an interview with the popular entertainment portal. He revealed that as a child he used to get separated from his father for a moment when crowds gathered all around Irrfan Khan during a public outing. Babil remembered how, as a child, even a few minutes of his father holding his hand meant everything to him.
He stated, “So when a bodyguard comes and takes him away because the crowd is rushing to him and that hand gets pulled away, for the child, I think it’s very traumatic. I had distance from my father, physical distance because he was shooting a lot, but he was very affectionate towards me when he was there.”
Babil Khan has talked candidly about how Irrfan Khan's death had a major impact on his personality in an interview with the well-known news portal. “A laughter that I have not experienced ever since he passed away. I used to laugh my heart out, I don’t laugh like that anymore. That’s such a strange thing. When you lose somebody, you laugh with, you don’t ever laugh the same,” he said.
Babil Khan expressed in an interview with the well-known news website how much he wishes his father could have been around to see him develop both personally and professionally with warm memories of Irrfan Khan in his heart.
“He left before he could see me grow. He left before I could make him proud, you know. I wish he was there to see where I have come as a human being, not professionally, just as a human being,” Babil said earlier.
