New Delhi: Actor Babil Khan remembered his father, late Irrfan Khan, in a lengthy post on Wednesday. Babil posted a picture of the late actor looking at his trophy at the 8th Asian Film Awards in 2014. Along with the picture, he wrote a long note and said that he was even a better father ‘than an excellent actor’.
Irrfan passed away in April 2020 after battling cancer. He is survived by wife Sutapa and sons Babil and Ayaan.
In his post, Babil wrote, “Those eyes that watch you absorb a validation which you have already explored to spiritually absorb through internal means rather than the external illusions of self-worth, I’d blame your stubborn determination of committing a lifetime to transcending from innate survival instincts to a journey engraved in cultivating your creative ‘intuitions’, through means greater than 'understanding and intellect', and yet in your actions towards the compulsion of celebrity you were truthfully eager to live your/the physical experience of the very ironic phenomenon; as if even with the awareness of what was going to happen, you believed in the uncertainties of the known.”

He further wrote, “And that for me is the seemingly unachievable mantle I want to hold in relation to the craft of acting; to be aware that a story might have a systematically planned narrative but the magic is the ability to create (through surrender) within the mechanics of artificiality, I want that enlightenment of process so dear in my palms.”
Babil also wrote, “I miss when you used to look at Ayaan and I with that glint in your eye as if nothing else existed, even after you had achieved more than a man could ask from himself, just in those moments I realised you loved being a father more than being an actor, and imagine that after being the best actor in the world. It makes me feel like I didn’t value your concern enough. I miss our laughter baba.”
Babil made his film debut with the Netflix film 'Qala' last year. He is currently working on a web series, 'The Railway Men'.
