Babil took to his Instagram Stories to share that there was no space to keep his new award.

Irrfan, who died after a long illness in 2020, is widely regarded as one of the finest actors in Indian cinema history. In his long, storied career, he won numerous accolades, including a National Award for Paan Singh Tomar and six Filmfare Awards. He was also well known in Hollywood, having worked in several English films such as Life of Pi, The Amazing Spider-Man, Jurassic World, and Inferno. Babil is his elder son.

Babil Khan's latest Instagram Story.

Babil took to his Instagram Stories to share a small clip from his home where he was seen holding his OTTplay Changemaker award and trying to figure out where to place it. He gave a glimpse of the space on the shelves that were all packed with previous awards won by his later father Irrfan for his movies.

"Nope," said Babil as he paced the room trying to locate a space on the shelf where he could keep his new award. In the caption to this Instagram Story, he wrote, "When you're trying to keep an award you've won but there's no space because your dad is like, ‘been there done that, child’. In another story, he posted a picture with his award and wrote in the caption, "OTTplay Changemakers gave me an award for the rising star of the year. This helps my self-esteem. XD"

Babil received acclaim last year for his acting debut in Anvita Dutt's Qala that released on Netflix in November. The psychological drama film starred Tripti Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee, and Varun Grover in pivotal roles. Babil will be next seen in an untitled film directed by Shoojit Sircar, who also directed his late father in Piku.
