Babil Khan, the son of the late legendary actor Irrfan Khan, marked a poignant occasion by sharing intimate childhood memories on social media. The day holds special significance as it commemorates what would have been Irrfan Khan's 59th birth anniversary.
A Nostalgic Trip Down Memory Lane
Breaking his social media hiatus, which he ended in October 2025, Babil Khan posted a series of heartfelt throwback photographs. The images offer a rare, personal glimpse into the tender bond he shared with his father. One particularly touching photo captures a young Babil lying asleep on his father's back. Accompanying the image, Babil recalled his childhood ritual, writing in the caption, "Pictures of you. Pictures of me. (I used to say ‘sofa mode activated’ before I jumped on him and fell asleep on his back)."
The scene shows them relaxed on a striped mat at home, surrounded by pillows and household items, embodying a moment of pure, everyday connection. Another powerful photograph presents the father-son duo standing face-to-face outdoors, sharing a serious, contemplative look, highlighting the depth of their relationship beyond the playful moments.
Honouring a Cinematic Legacy
Babil's tribute extended beyond personal memories. He also collaborated on a separate post dedicated to celebrating Irrfan Khan's monumental legacy in Indian cinema. The video was shared with a caption that poignantly referred to his father's "eloquent eyes of his silent righteousness," a nod to the actor's unparalleled ability to convey profound emotion with minimal dialogue. The post was tagged with #irrfan and #thenostalgiccinephile, inviting fans to join in remembrance.
Babil Khan's Professional Journey Continues
On the professional front, Babil Khan was last seen in the cyber thriller 'Logout'. The film, directed by Amit Golani, features an ensemble cast including Rasika Dugal, Gandharv Dewan, and Nimisha Nair. The plot revolves around Pratyush, a social media influencer whose life spirals out of control when an obsessed fan steals his phone, gaining access to his entire digital existence.
Through his social media posts, Babil Khan has once again reminded the world of the irreplaceable void left by Irrfan Khan, not just as an iconic actor but as a beloved father. His tributes serve as a beautiful bridge between the personal loss of a son and the collective admiration of a nation for a true artist.
