Few
Cherished
Memories
Of
His
Late
Father
He
posted
two
candid
pictures
of
Irrfan
on
his
Instagram
page.
One
of
them
features
the
late
actor
holding
a
few-months
old
Babil
in
his
arms.
In
another
snap,
Irrfan
is
seen
sleeping
peacefully
with
an
arm
around
his
pet
dog.
Babil
On
His
Experience
Of
Attending
A
Class
Of
Bollywood
In
A
Film
School
He
wrote,
"You
know
one
of
the
most
important
things
my
father
taught
me
as
a
student
of
cinema?
Before
I
went
to
film
school,
he
warned
me
that
I'll
have
to
prove
my
self
as
Bollywood
is
seldom
respected
in
world
cinema
and
at
these
moments
I
must
inform
about
the
Indian
cinema
that's
beyond
our
controlled
Bollywood.
Unfortunately,
it
did
happen.
Bollywood
was
not
respected,
no
awareness
of
60's
-
90's
Indian
cinema
or
credibility
of
opinion.
There
was
literally
one
single
lecture
in
the
world
cinema
segment
about
indian
cinema
called
‘Bollywood
and
Beyond',
that
too
gone
through
in
a
class
full
of
chuckles.
it
was
tough
to
even
get
a
sensible
conversation
about
the
real
Indian
cinema
of
Satyajit
Ray
and
K.
Asif
going."
Babil
On
Why
Bollywood
Has
Little
Respect
In
World
Cinema
"Because
we,
as
the
Indian
audience,
refused
to
evolve.
My
father
gave
his
life
trying
to
elevate
the
art
of
acting
in
the
adverse
conditions
of
noughties
Bollywood
and
alas,
for
almost
all
of
his
journey,
was
defeated
in
the
box
office
by
hunks
with
six
pack
abs
delivering
theatrical
one-liners
and
defying
the
laws
of
physics
and
reality,
photoshopped
item
songs,
just
blatant
sexism
and
same-old
conventional
representations
of
patriarchy
(and
you
must
understand,
to
be
defeated
at
the
box
office
means
that
majority
of
the
investment
in
Bollywood
would
be
going
to
the
winners,
engulfing
us
in
a
vicious
circle).
Because
we
as
an
audience
wanted
that,
we
enjoyed
it,
all
we
sought
was
entertainment
and
safety
of
thought,
so
afraid
to
have
our
delicate
illusion
of
reality
shattered,
so
unaccepting
of
any
shift
in
perception.
All
effort
to
explore
the
potential
of
cinema
and
its
implications
on
humanity
and
existentialism
was
at
best
kept
by
the
sidelines,"

Babil
in
his
post.

At
The

About
Art
And

Post
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
Death
"Now
there
is
a
change,
a
new
fragrance
in
the
wind.
A
new
youth,
searching
for
a
new
meaning.
We
must
stand
our
ground,
not
let
this
thirst
for
a
deeper
meaning
be
repressed
again.
A
strange
feeling
beset
when
Kalki
was
trolled
for
looking
like
a
boy
when
she
cut
her
hair
short,
that
is
pure
abolishment
of
potential.
(Although
I
resent
that
Sushant's
demise
has
now
become
a
fluster
of
political
debates,
but
if
a
positive
change
is
manifesting,
in
the
way
of
the
Taoist,
we
embrace
it.),"
Babil
concluded
his
post
on
a
positive
note.
