Actor Babil Khan recently shared an intimate memory of his late father, Irrfan Khan, revealing a touching moment that spoke volumes about the bond the acclaimed actor shared with his wife Sutapa Sikdar during his cancer battle.
The post offers a window into the family's quiet strength during one of their most trying times.
Babil Khan shares heartwarming memory of father Irrfan
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Babil posted a series of photographs capturing a tender domestic scene.
In the images, Irrfan can be seen attending to Sutapa's feet while she rests, a seemingly small gesture that carried profound emotional weight given the circumstances surrounding it.
Through his caption, Babil described how his mother developed painful foot corns from constantly rushing around to care for Irrfan during his illness.
Despite being at the peak of his own suffering, Irrfan would improvise a makeshift headlamp by strapping his phone to his forehead and carefully tend to her feet.
"During baba's most unbearable peak cancer period, mamma used to get corns on her feet, running around and taking care of him.
So Baba used to tie his phone to his head as a light source and operate on her corns. Both peeling offs (sic)," he wrote.
This is not the first occasion on which Babil has honored his father's memory publicly.
Irrfan passed away on April 29, 2020, aged 53, following his battle with a neuroendocrine tumour.
