How about we devise a new linguistic system where we stop calling the departed 'late' and call them 'forever' instead! For their mortal body might have left for the humble abode, but they would forever remain alive in our heart. By that logic, one of the best actors of our generation, 'forever', Irrfan Khan's son, Babil Khan has a message for him. Check it out below!

On October 8, 2020, the great actor, Irrfan Khan's son, Babil took to his IG handle and posted a picture of his tomb. Along with the picture, Babil penned a few heart-wrenching lines on how his baba used to teach him about the intricate details of filmmaking, and now that he is no more, Babil is teaching himself, the way he used to do it.
Babil's soulful note for his late father can be read as "When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant, but when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and Strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win." - Tarkovsky. Here's to watching 'Stalker' with you for my first film essay three years ago, I'm watching 'Stalker' now for the last dissertation. I pause the film from time to time, just like you did with me, to take it all in, you were teaching me then, now I teach myself. Here's to you, who never hardened, here's to your forgiving, sensitive soul."
Some days ago, Babil had posted some great clicks of his baba along with some of his own pictures and had written, "I'm working Baba. You pushed through demons, up in your feelings, no one gets it, no? I'd give every cell in my presence to remember your skin, my spinal cord will rotate, and my soul can implode, in a search to feel you close. I wish I would have known how it feels to end, so I can begin. Why are you surprised? It's the job of the Politician to choose to lie, and when I'm bleeding, I know, sleep is just death being shy. I pray for you, our farmers, in our self-illusiveness we thought we were better. I hope we can surrender. I hope we find a way. I miss you, India. (No political comments please, this is not a political expression.)" (Also Read: 'Bigg Boss 12' Fame, Jasleen Matharu Gets Married To Anup Jalota? The Former Shares Pictures)
On September 25, Babil Khan had shared a sweet throwback childhood picture with his baba, Irrfan Khan. Along with the picture, he had written a note in which he had expressed that he doesn't want to wake up in the morning as it requires facing the harsh reality that his baba is no more around. Babil had written, "I slept for 14 hours, and I didn't want to wake up cause I was dreaming about you. Waking up is the worst, I hate realising everyday that you're gone. You didn't say anything, we just laughed. (He's playing the OG' bounce')."
On October 4, 2020, Babil Khan had shared yet another sweet childhood memory with his father. Along with the picture, Babil had penned a small note about a special memory. The youngster had talked about one of his obsessions and how it was his father, who had introduced him to it. His caption could be read as "Death is painful for the living, for those dearest to your heart, but you taught me that death is only the beginning. So I'm here celebrating your life in my mind, divine bitter-sweetness. I was listening to 'The Beatles' then you got me obsessed with 'The Doors', and we used to sing along. I sing those songs still now, I feel you then." (Don't Miss: Ranbir Kapoor Spotted With Mommy, Neetu Kapoor At The Kapoor Bunglow, Rides A Cool New Bike)
