Babil Shares And Deletes Post Ahead of Irrfan's Death Anniversary: 'Sometimes I Feel Like Giving Up...'

Ahead of acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan’s death anniversary, his son Babil shared, then deleted, an alleged post on his Instagram account late Tuesday night. “Sometimes I feel like giving up and going to Baba,” Babil shared in a now-deleted Instagram story, according to an alleged screenshot of his post which has surfaced on Reddit.

While the alleged story is no longer visible on his Instagram account, Babil has shared another story on the social media app, wherein he can be heard singing ‘Stay With It’ by Rich.

Babil Khan is one of the most promising stars in Bollywood today. He has established his own identity through his incredible performances on screen. In a recent interview, the young actor shared a heartwarming anecdote about his father.

“So when a bodyguard comes and takes him away because the crowd is rushing to him and that hand gets pulled away, for the child, I think it’s very traumatic. I had distance from my father, physical distance because he was shooting a lot, but he was very affectionate towards me when he was there,” said Babil.

Earlier this year, Babil, on Irrfan’s birth anniversary, penned a heartfelt note and shared it on his Instagram account alongside a throwback photo of his parents.

Babil made his Bollywood debut with Qala. Recently, he starred in The Railway Men alongside Kay Kay Menon, R. Madhavan, Divyenndu, and others. Next, he will be seen in Shoojit Sircar’s The Umesh Chronicles, alongside Amitabh Bachchan.

Irrfan Khan was among the finest actors Indian cinema had ever seen. A recipient of honours such as the National Film Award and Padma Shri, Irrfan began his acting journey with Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay! (1988). He managed to establish himself as a favourite of the audiences with movies like Paan Singh Tomar, Hindi Medium and Piku. Irrfan died from complications of neuroendocrine cancer on April 29, 2020. His demise left a huge void in Indian cinema.
