Irrfan Khan’s first death anniversary

Remembering Irrfan Khan, the actor’s son, Babil Khan penned a heartfelt note on his death anniversary. He took to his Instagram handle and shared a throwback picture of his father, wherein the latter is seen fixing a table. Babil Khan wrote, “Chemo burns you from the inside, so to find joy in the simple things, like building your own table to write your own journals. There is a purity, I have not yet discovered. There is a legacy that has already been concluded by my Baba himself. A full stop. Nobody can ever replace him. Nobody will ever be able to. To the greatest best friend, companion, brother, father, I ever had and ever will have. I love you so much, for the rest of this chaos we are choosing to call life. I would have built a space monument that could have taken us to the furthest parts of a blackhole singularity you were always intrigued by, but I would have been there with you Baba, and we could have gone together, hand in hand. (Exploring the last mysteries)”.
