Babil wore the same indigo showstopper outfit but styled it a little differently.
On Saturday, late actor Irrfan Khan's son Babil attended the 66th Filmfare Awards in Mumbai to accept two awards on behalf of his father.
Irrfan Khan won a posthumous award - Best Actor for 'Angrezi Medium', and was also honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the award ceremony.
Later, on Sunday, Babil shared a video and wrote alongside it that for the award ceremony that he attended on behalf of his father, he wore late Irrfan Khan's clothes in order to break through into new places that he is uncomfortable with, just like his father did in the same clothes when Irrfan, who did not like attending fashion shows, turned showstopper for designer Rajesh Pratap Singh.
Babil wore the same indigo showstopper outfit but styled it a little differently. He teamed the outfit with an indigo printed jacket and wore a few accessories to complete the look.
In the caption, Babil also shared an excerpt from his speech that he said while accepting Irrfan Khan's awards from Jaideep Ahlawat, Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana on the stage. In the clip, Babil's mother Sutapa Sikdar can be seen helping him getting ready for the awards, which she also attended.
He wrote as the caption, "Mamma dressing me up - So in my little speech while accepting baba’s awards from @jaideepahlawat @rajkummar_rao @ayushmannk , I basically said “this is not my place to say anything. People always say that you cannot fit into your father’s shoes but at least I can fit into his clothes. I just want to show all my gratitude to the audience and our industry because of the warmth and love that you have hugged our family with, and all I can really say is that you and I will make this journey together and take indian cinema to new heights, I promise.” The story behind the clothes was that my father hated participating in fashion shows and ramp walks but he did it in these same clothes in order to continuously break out of his comfort zone. That is exactly what I was doing last night, tearing though into new spaces that I’m uncomfortable with (sic)."
Before Babil shared the video, he penned a note of thanks to Filmfare for recognising his father's contribution to the film industry. Babil hopped on to his Instagram account and shared a picture that featured all the six Black lady accolades honoured to his father, including the latest addition of 'Best Actor (Male)' and 'Life Time Achievement' award presented to him on the latest edition of the ceremony.
Alongside the picture, he wrote, "Thank you FILMFARE! Even after he has departed you have recognised his commitment to his craft. We as a family are so grateful."
Take a look:
The star-studded 66th Filmfare awards on Saturday night, saw 'Thappad' winning the maximum number of awards, followed by 'Gulabo Sitabo', winning six.
Irrfan died on April 29 last year in Mumbai at the age of 53 last year after a long battle with cancer.
