Babil Khan's emotional revelation: Irrfan Khan loved being a father more than an actor

Irrfan Khan, a beloved actor in Bollywood, continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many even after his untimely demise in 2020. His son, Babil Khan, and wife, Sutapa Sikdar, often take to social media to share captivating anecdotes about the late actor. On Wednesday morning, Babil, who made his acting debut in 2022, shared a nostalgic picture of his father on Instagram and accompanied it with a poignant tribute.

Babil has consistently expressed his love for his father through heartfelt posts that offer a glimpse into their relationship. In his latest Instagram update, the budding actor revealed a profound aspect of Irrfan's personality, stating that he "loved being a father more than being an actor." 

Babil expressed his yearning for his father's laughter and penned a heartfelt note, which resonated deeply with his followers.

The emotionally charged note reads, "Those eyes that watch a validation which you have already explored to spiritually absorb through internal means rather than the external illusions of self-worth, I'd blame your stubborn determination of committing a lifetime to transcending from innate survival instincts to a journey engraved in cultivating your creative 'intuitions,' through means greater than 'understanding and intellect,' and yet in your actions towards the compulsion of celebrity, you were truthfully eager to live your/the physical experience of the very ironic phenomenon; as if even with the awareness of what was going to happen, you believed in the uncertainties of the known."

Babil continued to express his aspirations, stating, "And that for me is the seemingly unachievable mantle I want to hold in relation to the craft of acting; to be aware that a story might have a systematically planned narrative, but the magic is the ability to create (through surrender) within the mechanics of artificiality. I want that enlightenment of process so dear in my palms. I miss when you used to look at Ayaan and I with that glint in your eye as if nothing else existed, even after you had achieved more than a man could ask from himself. Just in those moments, I realized you loved being a father more than being an actor, and imagine that after being the best actor in the world. It makes me feel like I didn't value your concern enough. I miss our laughter, baba."

Babil's heartfelt post evoked a wave of emotions among his fans, who responded with warm and supportive comments. 

On his work front, Babil made his acting debut in the film "Qala," alongside Triptii Dimri. His talent will soon be showcased in an upcoming series titled "The Railway Men."
