Babil shares unseen, throwback pics with Irrfan: 'I was trying to look like him and he was trying to look like me'

Babil has shared unseen pictures from 2016 and 2017, with his late dad Irrfan Khan. Check out his post here.

Late actor Irrfan Khan's son Babil has posted throwback pictures with his father, from the time when they both tried to imitate each other. Irrfan and Babil pose with smiles in the two images shared Tuesday afternoon.

One of the images has Irrfan smiling while dressed in a white and red shirt as his son is dressed in a blue jacket and poses with specs and a hat. Another one seems to be from a party. The father-son duo is dressed in black in the picture. Sharing the pictures, Babil wrote on Instagram, "June 2016 & June 2017. one year apart, I was trying to look like him and he was trying to look like me." Actors Jaideep Ahlawat and Dia Mirza dropped heart emojis on the post.

Irrfan saw his film, Angrezi Medium, release in theatres, just weeks before he died in April last year. He fought a two-year-long battle with neuroendocrine tumour. Homi Adajania's Angrezi Medium was also one of the last films to hit theatres ahead of the shutdown of movie halls across India that lasted nearly a year, during the coronavirus lockdown.

Anup Singh's The Song of Scorpions is also set to release soon and features Irrfan in the lead.

Babil recently announced his entry into films sharing a picture of his dad. "I know it’s been a minute. When my superstitions allow me to, I will reveal what I’ve been busy with, but there’s some stuff cookin’. Anyway, since I’m obviously extremely frightened on having started my journey in Indian cinema without any formal training on acting and 8 years too early, I often calm my anxieties by looking at baba’s pictures from NSD and earlier films. Here’s something for his fans :))," he wrote alongside a pic of Irrfan and Tabu from the sets of Vishal Bhardwaj's Maqbool.

Ever since he lost his dad last year, Babil often shares throwback of the late actor and treats fans with some anecdotes from their lives.
