New Delhi: Irrfan Khan won the heart of the audience with his spectacular and wonderful performances. It has almost been 6 months since he left for his heavenly abode, but it is still hard to believe that the powerhouse of talent is no more with us. The ‘Piku’ actor’s son Babil Khan keeps on sharing instances from their lives with Irrfan and recently, he recalled the memory when he diverted a crowd during the shooting of ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’. Taking to his Instagram, Babil shared throwback pictures of him playing the guitar and singing for the crowd. While sharing the pictures, he wrote, “So the story is: I was assisting with the camera team on QQS. There was a shot needed on a Gangtok street but the people would crowd around the set and Baba, soon after a few takes, it started seeming impossible to shoot the sequence. So, Tanuja ma’am handed me a guitar and said go 100m away and start performing. She called out a loud “PACK UP!” for the crowd to hear and then I started singing with the guitar and the crowd dissipated towards this new divertissement.” Babil further revealed how the team quickly shot the sequence using the natural light as he diverted the crowd with his singing. He added, “As I sung they quickly shot the sequence using natural light and finished the job. True story. Funny. Experience to use for all filmmakers, use your interns in the most creative ways. (The sad truth is most of the times our politics and selected news and media outlets that control information being distributed to our people also are running a similar divertissement.)”

Babil Khan also shared a picture of the ‘Maqbool’ actor by the lakeside. His caption read, “Switching places by the lake. I love the way you shake my soul still. I took that jump you know, funny it was waiting outside my door still. You said “that’s all you have to do.” I leapt off a little too late, but I did in memories of you :)”
