Irrfan Khan passed away last year on April 29 and ever since then, his son Babil Khan has been sharing emotional and endearing notes for his father and even his mother, Sutapa Sikdar. A majority of his posts in these last 13 months have been about his family and the moments they have spent together.
In a new note that he penned for his mother, he spoke about the relationship they share and the one regret he has. He wrote- "The one and only. My only one. I'm so temperamental, I regret. She's there for me, you know? The only one. No one gives a fuck about me, truly, except my mumma. I love you so much, I'm sorry for the pain. In the closing chapters of our book; selfishly, I want to be the one to take care of you." [SIC]

Talking of Sutapa Sikdar, she wrote a note on her Facebook account after the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput and talked about how Irrfan Khan battled groupism in the Hindi film industry.
She wrote, "If you consider your work a spiritual quest you won't be sad if people didn't call you for their "parties" or did not come for your "premiers". Irrfan did not get a cover page of a film magazine for many years he did not waste his time gossiping about people or bad mouthing nor did he get depress, he chiseled his craft ..and refused to be part of it till he got the cover page and he did. (he got mostly depressed not clinically but sad, looking at the disparity in the society.) or once or twice went to a brink of breakdown preparing for roles not because so-called insiders did not call him for holi parties. and yes no one dared make fun of him ever on any show or any channel."
She added, "The point is if you are unable to sustain the indifference of the power people or understand the business of film industry and you want to continue here then you need help and talking to a therapist is not equivalent to be called mad."
