Along with the snapshot, Babil wrote: “Nobody knew him like I did, nobody has known me like he did. It's easy to say, to miss him, it's easy. It's easy to be cathartic and cry about losing him. It's easy.” Recalling fond memories with his dad, ‘The Railway Men’ fame actor said: “Do you know what is hard? To remember the ecstasy in his voice when he would raise it in exaltation to scream "BABILUUUU!!!" every single time he'd see me. To remember then, how painful it would be to lose him for the stretches of barren time when he would be away shooting.” “It is impossible to bear the memory of how his beard felt on my fingers when I would scratch his cheek as he read his script or how my finger tips would rest gently on his eye lids when he took a nap,” shared Babil. Irrfan Khan's Son Babil Khan Aims to Bring His Journey, Artistic Expression, and Individuality to the Table in Future Films.

He lauded Irrfan’s deep baritone, sharing how he wished to have one last dance with him. “His voice, was brilliantly deep, yet it evoked nothing but a gentle prayer from me, a prayer that could only rise from one's within when an external force has calmed your existential jitters to stillness. I wish I could have one last dance with you,” the note read. “‘And to tell you, that without your lessons, I never would have survived.’ I will look for you. I will find you again. Somewhere. Beyond,” concluded Babil.
