Sharing an old photo of Irrfan Khan, Babil wrote, “Hey man, I am so lost. I can’t figure out who to trust. I doubt my self, you know? I’m insecure, I’m frightened by the prospect of a godless world. My mind is in war with my gut, I am hopelessly falling In love with attention, I am hopelessly heartbroken that it’s all for nothing.”
Babil's post garnered heartwarming reactions from his fans and various celebrities including Tisca Chopra, Anup Soni, Sandhya Mridul and many more. Tisca Chopra and Adline Castelino dropped a heart in the comments, while Sandhya Mridul commented, "It’s hard but not hopeless but someday it will make sense .. I know this .. sending love.” Actor Anup Soni commented, "Much Love...Stay Strong."
Babil’s touching post is a testament of how dearly he misses his father and his guidance. After fighting a battle with cancer for two years, Irrfan Khan passed away in April last year. On his father’s one-year death anniversary,
Babil shared a photo of Irrfan in his Chemotherapy days, building a table. Over the past one year, Babil has shared a number of memories remembering Irrfan.
“Chemo burns you from the inside, so to find joy in the simple things, like building your own table to write your own journals. There is a purity, I have not yet discovered. There is a legacy that has already been concluded by my Baba himself. A full stop. Nobody can ever replace him. Nobody will ever be able to. To the greatest best friend, companion, brother, father, I ever had and ever will have. I love you so much, for the rest of this chaos we are choosing to call life. I would have built a space monument that could have taken us to the furthest parts of a blackhole singularity you were always intrigued by, but I would have been there with you Baba, and we could have gone together, hand in hand. (Exploring the last mysteries),” he wrote.
Babil is set make his Bollywood debut in Anvitaa Dutt’s ‘Qala’, which also stars Tripti Dimri. To be released on Netflix, ‘Qala’ is produced by Anushka Sharma’s Clean Slate Filmz.
