Late
actor
Irrfan
Khan's
son
Babil
recently
penned
a
moving
tribute
for
Dilip
Kumar
who
passed
away
earlier
this
week.
The
aspiring
actor
shared
that
he
was
at
his
farmhouse
preppping
for
his
debut
film
Qala
when
he
received
this
sad
news.
Speaking
about
how
he
and
his
late
actor
were
inspired
by
the
Devdas
actor,
Babil
shared
pictures
of
the
thespian's
signed
autobiography,
'Dilip
Kumar:
The
Substance
and
the
Shadow'
and
wrote
in
his
Instagram
post,
"I
was
at
our
farmhouse,
preparing
for
'Qala'
when
I
got
the
news,
how
ashamed
I
was
to
have
not
been
able
to
do
this
in
time,
for
the
death
of
a
man
that
inspired
Baba
and
I
for
uncountable
ages.
I
didn't
have
any
telecommunication
network
and
I
literally
rushed
back
to
Mumbai
just
to
be
able
to
pay
tribute
to
the
master."
Babil
revealed
that
his
father
was
in
complete
awe
of
the
legendary
star
and
continued,
"Baba
used
to
watch
Dilip
saab
in
complete
Awe,
and
trust
me
there
were
very
very
few
instances
when
Baba
would
feel
awe-struck,
the
great
Dilip
saab
was
one
to
demand
that
from
him
through
his
irreplaceable
charm
and
subtlety."
He
further
added,
"I
remember
the
first
time
I
fell
in
love
with
Dilip
saab,
it
was
'Andaz'.
His
portrayal
of
the
immensely
complicated
emotion
that
he
had
to
project
in
the
song
'Toote
na
dil
Toote
na'
,
I
knew
I
was
in
love.
I
am
so
grateful
that
we
as
a
family
had
a
chance
to
be
mesmerised
by
him
together.
Thank
you
so
much
Dilip
Saab,
you
were
way
ahead
of
your
time."
Recalling
the
time
when
he
and
Irrfan
felt
a
little
overwhelmed
in
the
best
away,
Babil
mentioned,
"When
we
received
this
copy
of
his
Autobiography
signed
by
him,
baba
and
I
were
a
little
overwhelmed,
in
the
best
way.
To
touch
these
pages.
I
cannot
explain
how
it
feels.
May
your
soul
travel
into
a
world
that
you
wished
for
when
all
the
fame
and
money
became
clear
as
an
illusion,
and
the
true
purpose
of
evolution
started
to
dawn
on
your
being.
May
you
travel
safe
and
peacefully.
Thank
you
for
your
immense
contribution
to
the
craft
of
applying
honesty
to
'acting'.
I
don't
want
to
cry
right
now."

Kumar
