Babil Khan pens heartwarming note on ‘baba’ Irrfan Khan’s birth anniversary

New Delhi: On the 56th birth anniversary of late actor Irrfan Khan on Saturday, his son and actor Babil Khan penned an emotional note remembering his ‘Baba’.

Taking to Instagram, Babil shared a string of throwback pictures from his younger days featuring him as a child and his father.

“Questions keep me awake at night. The ones I never asked then, the ones I can never ask now. My inquiries are left for me to extinguish myself, that’s okay, I’ll figure it out.” I miss your laugh, though, so I don’t think there’s an answer. Missing the day you arrived here.”


One of India’s finest actors, Irrfan made his debut in the 1988 Oscar-nominated film ‘Salaam Bombay’.

In a career spanning over 30 years, the Padma Shri award-winning actor worked in some of the best Hindi cinema as well as Hollywood films.

His son Babil made his acting debut with ‘Kaala’. Set in the 1930s, ‘Kala’ is about the tumultuous relationship between an aspiring singer and her domineering mother. The film also stars Tripti Dimri and Swastika Mukherjee.
