One of Hindi cinema's finest actors Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020. Today, on his fifth death anniversary, his son Babil remembered him through an emotional post.
Babil wrote- '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.'

Paan Singh Tomar that starred Irrfan Khan as the eponymous character and was directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia became a commercial and critical success back in 2012, and even won the late actor a National award for his incredibly honest and moving performance.
But the actor's son Babil Khan revealed in an interview with Humans Of Bombay how his mother Sutapa Sikdar wrote 17 pages of criticism for Irrfan Khan's acting. He said, 'How do I explain this? After Baba did Paan Singh Tomar , and he came back home. Mumma had 17 pages of criticism. So, I can't stay in that room where mumma is watching my film.'
He added, 'The first thing was an astronaut. But you don't realise that actually you don't want to be an astronaut as a kid you just want to explore. People used to tell me that you have to become an actor when you grow up because you know lineage, father, and legacy. And I used to rebel against that a lot. I remember vehemently telling people that I would not be an actor. But I think that was me just rebelling.'
