- On January 7, Babil Khan marked his late father’s birthday by posting two previously unseen photos on Instagram with the caption, “Pictures of you. Pictures of me.”
- In the note, he recalled a childhood ritual, writing that he would say “sofa mode activated” before jumping on Irrfan and falling asleep on his back.
- The first image shows a young Babil lying on his father, while a second captures the pair in a candid conversation years later.
- Fans responded with supportive comments and remembrances of Irrfan’s work, underscoring his enduring place in Indian and global cinema.
- Born on January 7, 1967, Irrfan appeared in roughly 98 films and received the Padma Shri and a National Film Award; he died in 2020 after a 2018 neuroendocrine tumour diagnosis, as Babil continues a low‑key career following roles in Qala and Logout.
