Irrfan Khan's son reveals father's unusual commute lessons
1 Nov
Summary
- Babil Khan recalled his father Irrfan Khan made him use public transport.
- His father emphasized endurance and spiritual endurance through his actions.
- His mother Sutapa was present for important childhood events Irrfan missed.
Babil Khan recently recounted how his late father, actor Irrfan Khan, instilled values through unconventional means. Irrfan Khan mandated that Babil use public transport, including buses, ferries, and rickshaws, for his daily school journey, despite the family owning multiple cars. This experience taught Babil about endurance and spiritual resilience.
While Irrfan Khan, known for his roles in films like 'The Lunchbox,' often spent extended periods away shooting, Babil's mother, writer Sutapa, played a crucial role. She ensured her presence at significant childhood events such as sports days and annual functions, representing the family when Irrfan could not attend.
Irrfan Khan passed away in April 2020 at the age of 53, following a battle with a rare neuroendocrine tumor. Babil's reflections highlight a upbringing that balanced his father's emphasis on living by his values with his mother's consistent involvement in his life.
