Babil Khan, the son of late actor Irrfan Khan, made his acting debut in the movie Qala in 2022. Both the public and critics were captivated by his performance as a promising singer in the film. Babil recently opened up about how he was motivated to dive into acting after his late father Irrfan’s death in 2020.
In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, Babil Khan recounted the awful reality. He said that on the day his father died, at first, he didn’t believe it. After a week, the young actor was shocked to learn that his father wouldn’t be coming back. It was after this realisation that Babil went into a bad spiral. He said, “I just locked myself in my room for one and a half months.”
Babil Khan mentioned how difficult it was to deal with his father’s death. He revealed how Irrfan khan would be gone for a long shooting schedule and after his death, for some time Babil was under the impression that his father was on yet another schedule like that and would eventually return home. Slowly the actor came to the realisation that this time it was an indefinite shooting schedule and his father is not coming back. He felt as if he lost his best friend. But what kept on going in his memories with his father.
