Late Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan’s elder son Babil decided to drop out of his graduation course at University of Westminster to pursue acting. The young boy has shared on social media that he is quitting studies to give all focus to his acting career.


Taking to social media, Babil wrote, “I will miss you so much. My beautiful friends. I have a very tight circle here in Mumbai, literally 2-3 friends in total. You all gave me a home in a strange cold place and made me feel like I belonged. Thank you, I love you. Film BA, dropping out today, with over 120 credits cause I’m giving it all to acting as of now. Goodbye university of Westminster. I love you my truest friends (sic)."



Babil is all set to play the male lead opposite Tripti Dimri in Netfix film Qala. He has recently announced a project with Piku director Shoojit Sircar as well. Babil bagged Shoojit Sircar’s next movie with Ronnie Lahiri. Shoojit and Ronnie earlier delivered hit film ‘Piku’ together, which starred Irrfan Khan, Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan in the lead roles.


Sharing this news of collaboration on his Instagram, Ronnie Lahiri had welcomed Babil on board with an emotional post for his father Irrfan Khan. He posted some pictures and wrote, “Honoured to take forward your legacy Irrfan sir. Worked with a legend like you, And now Babil. If this is not Providence, what is?”



A few days back, Babil also shared some unseen throwback pictures of his father and wrote, “I’ve been working so hard man, wish you were here to witness.”
