Irrfan Khan's family and fans are yet to get out from the shock of the untimely demise of the versatile actor. The versatile actor passed away on April 29, 2020. Irrfan's son Babil Khan and wife Sutapa Sikdar have been sharing various pictures of their good times with the late actor on their social media accounts.
Recently, Babil shared a priceless picture on his Instagram account. The snap is a still from one of Irrfan's most memorable films, Maqbool, opposite Tabu, Pankaj Kapur and Naseeruddin Shah. The film was directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. In the picture, a young Irrfan can be seen tending Tabu's injured foot. Sharing the image, Babil wrote, "I know it's been a minute. When my superstitions allow me to, I will reveal what I've been busy with, but there's some stuff cookin' (sic)". Take a look:

A few days back, Babil had shared a screenshot of his WhatsApp chats with his late father. "This was intense on a level I could not explain. I was deleting unnecessary chats from my WhatsApp and I found this. For f''k's sake. I was almost about to text him back just for the thrill of feeling like "mera bhai idhar hi hai mere saath (sic)", he captioned the picture.
Last month, Babil penned a heartfelt note for his late father on his Instagram account. Babil shared a beautiful picture of the late actor and wrote, "For in my dreams, I have no knowledge of your desertion. In my dreams today, you told me you were about to leave me and you held me for so long. Imagine the fact that I just woke up cause my phone rang for yet another offer to act, for yet another film. Now what sense does all this make without you Baba? I'd rather keep dreaming. (Tears make it hard to type, someone invent a phone for people that cry a lot plis) (sic)".
Babil Khan had recently opened up about taking his father's legacy forward. Babil said, "I have to do it the right way. I don't want to do a big movie in which I am dancing, it makes 100 crore and has no artistic value. My intention is to take his legacy forward. Not to become a star. It has to be done in the right way."
Babil added, "He creates he does not represent. When he portrays a character, it's just creation, he is not representing ideas that he has taken from someone else. He is literally creating the character. Now, that I am training as an actor, the art of representing and creating are two completely different things and I think it is difficult to obtain and master it."
