On the solemn occasion of his father Irrfan Khan’s fifth death anniversary, actor Babil Khan shared an emotional tribute that beautifully captured the depth of his grief and longing. Through a heartfelt poem posted on social media, the 26-year-old actor reminisced about the treasured moments he once shared with the legendary actor while growing up.“With you, without you. Life goes on, With me, without me. Soon I’ll be there. With you, not without you. And we will run together, and fly, Drink from waterfalls, pink not blue. I will hug you so tight, and I will cry, Then we’ll laugh, just like we used to. I miss you.”
The poem was accompanied by a nostalgic photograph from Babil’s childhood, capturing a tender moment between father and son. The post served as a moving reminder of the bond they shared and the vacuum left behind by Irrfan’s untimely demise.
