It's
been
a
year
today
since
Irrfan
Khan
left
for
his
heavenly
abode.
The
legendary
actor
breathed
his
last
on
April
29,
2020
after
a
two-year
long
battle
with
neuroendocrine
tumour.
Irrfan's
untimely
demise
was
a
dark
day
for
Indian
cinema.
On
his
first
death
anniversary
today
(April
29,
2021),
his
son
Babil
took
to
his
Instagram
page
to
pen
a
heartfelt
note
in
memory
of
his
late
father.
In
his
post,
he
expressed
how
he
misses
his
father
and
wrote
that
nobody
can
ever
replace
him.
He
also
called
the
late
actor
his
'greatest
best
friend,
companion,
brother,
father'.
Babil
began
his
post
by
writing,
"Chemo
burns
you
from
the
inside,
so
to
find
joy
in
the
simple
things,
like
building
your
own
table
to
write
your
own
journals.
There
is
a
purity,
I
have
not
yet
discovered.
There
is
a
legacy
that
has
already
been
concluded
by
my
Baba
himself.
A
full
stop.
Nobody
can
ever
replace
him.
Nobody
will
ever
be
able
to."
He
added,
"To
the
greatest
best
friend,
companion,
brother,
father,
I
ever
had
and
ever
will
have.
I
love
you
so
much,
for
the
rest
of
this
chaos
we
are
choosing
to
call
life.
I
miss
you,
more
than
all
that
shah-Jahan/mumtaz
stuff;
I
would
have
built
a
space
monument
that
could
have
taken
us
to
the
furthest
parts
of
a
blackhole
singularity
you
were
always
intrigued
by,
but
I
would
have
been
there
with
you
Baba,
and
we
could
have
gone
together,
hand
in
hand.
(Exploring
the
last
mysteries)."
Babil's
heartfelt
note
for
his
late
father
left
the
netizens
emotional
too.
While
many
dropped
heart
emoticons
on
his
post,
an
Instagram
user
commented,
"I
too
lost
my
father
and
a
great
companion
very
early
on
in
life....I
do
understand
the
sadness
you
feel....may
God
guide
you
through
this...be
strong
dear
friend
❤️." Actor
Ishaan
Khatter
wrote,
"love
and
respect..
always."
Besides
this
post,
Babil
also
posted
a
hand-written
note
by
his
late
father
dated
June
25,
2018
and
captioned
it
as
"Need
I
say
much?
My
Baba,
last
stages
of
evolution." It
was
the
time
when
the
actor
was
undergoing
medical
treatment
in
London.
The
note
read,
"The
most
amazing
period
of
life
in
London
June
25,
2018.
The
period
of
realisation
of
inner
mechanism
and
the
experience
of
magic
which
lays
on
the
other
side
of
the
conditioned
mind.
The
world
of
sensations
and
clear
unburdened
mind."
