Versatile Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan passed away at the age of 53 on April 29, 2020. The actor was undergoing treatment for Neuroendocrine cancer and was admitted at Mumbai's Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital due to a colon infection. Irrfan is survived by his wife Sutapa and sons - Babil and Ayan.

Soon after news of Irrfan's death broke the internet, social media was flooded with messages from fans and celebrities expressing their grief. Son Babil Khan is coping up the loss of his father by sharing throwback pictures on his Instagram account. Babil recently shared a beautiful monochrome picture of his father and revealed how the actor had a strange understanding of rain. In the picture, the late actor is seen feeding a camel.

Sharing the picture on his Instagram handle, Babil wrote, "He had this strange understanding of rain. I cannot compare it to anything that I have ever experienced. He could only explain it to me through the limits within what words would let him, but there was a connection that I cannot envelop even in the most beautiful language; only the desert could show, oh my god, what the rain did to him (sic)".

Earlier, Babil shared another throwback picture of Irrfan spending quality time with school kids and principal at his farmhouse.

Whenever it was farmhouse time for him, these kids and the school principal would show up to meet. [sic]"
