In a picture shared by Babil, Irrfan Khan can be seen sitting on a boat dressed casually in red pants, purple shirt paired with a black jacket and a colourful beanie. Sharing the picture, the Qala actor wrote a heartfelt note that read, “Dear baba, I’m trying to remember that perfume you wore, when we travelled north to watch lights dance in Norway. I remember exactly, the feeling of your smell, but I can’t remember the materialism of it. I remember the sensation on my fingertips when you spread my palms to tell my fortunes but it frightens me to forget your playful pinch on my nostrils. I have begged, and I have cried to the heavens, to let not my body forget yet; for my soul is not ready to forfeit. I am not ready to move on. And I am alright with the idea that possibly I will never be, we were never governed by logic. You and I, singular and cosmic. Everything is, and yet it is not; You’re a perfect teardrop in my asylum. I was mindful and yet I forgot, my intonations of violence. You still breathe, in my thoughts; and our institutions of madness. I miss that, what I fought; your explorations of silence. A creation of yours, Babil.”

On April 29, 2020, Irrfan passed away. Irrfan was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in 2018.
