Actor Irrfan Khan would have turned 54 years old today. To celebrate his birth anniversary, his son Babil Khan shared a throwback video with Irrfan and mom Sutapa Sikdar and revealed how the actor never believed in celebrating birthdays but this time, he could not forget his birthday even if he tried.
Babil shared an old video of Irrfan, his mother Sutapa Sikdar, and younger brother Ayaan's message for him. It showed Irrfan holding the camera and, recording the video while Sutapa joined it, thinking that he was on a video call with Babil.

Babil wrote, "You never identified with institutions such as contractual marriage and birthday celebrations. Perhaps, that is why I don’t remember anyone’s birthdays because you never remembered mine and never encouraged me to remember yours. It was just normal to us what seemed absurd from the outside, we celebrated everyday (bringing personal experiential authenticity to the cliche). On the occasion, Mamma would have to remind us both; but this time I could not forget yours if I tried. It’s your birthday Baba. Shoutout to all the technologically inept parents, notice that they did not finish saying that they miss me."
For the uninformed, this is Irrfan's first death anniversary since his death on April 29, 2020. He died in Mumbai after a two-year-long battle with a neuroendocrine tumour. He was also diagnosed with a colon infection.
Babil often shares priceless throwback photos and memories of his late father on Instagram for his fans.
On the work front, Irrfan's last release was Angrezi Medium, which was released in March. His swansong, Song of the Scorpions is all set to release soon.
