On actor Irrfan Khan’s birth anniversary, his elder son Babil has shared an old video featuring the actor. Babil says in the caption that his father never believed in such celebrations, so no one in the family remembers each other’s birthdays. But this year, he couldn’t forget his father’s birthday even if he tried.
Babil shared an old video of Irrfan, his mother Sutapa Sikdar and younger brother Ayaan. It showed Irrfan recording the video while Sutapa joined it, thinking that he was on a video call with Babil.
“You never identified with institutions such as contractual marriage and birthday celebrations. Perhaps, that is why I don’t remember anyone’s birthdays because you never remembered mine and never encouraged me to remember yours. It was just normal to us what seemed absurd from the outside, we celebrated everyday (bringing personal experiential authenticity to the cliche). On the occasion, Mamma would have to remind us both; but this time I could not forget yours if I tried.
“It’s your birthday Baba. Shoutout to all the technologically inept parents, notice that they did not finish saying that they miss me,” he wrote in the caption.
