Irrfan Khan's son gears up for Bollywood debut

Late Irrfan Khan's son Babil plans to get into films this year, going by a social media interaction he had with Irrfan's fans on Monday. The youngster is currently studying film in London.

"I am already in the field of acting when I will appear in a film is the question. Once I have graduated around May, I will start looking into offers," Babil replied when a user asked if he plans to get into the field of acting.

It all began after Babil shared the first page of a book titled Actors On acting, signed by Irrfan, which the late actor bought while preparing for Mira Nair's 2006 release The Namesake.

On Monday, Babil Khan posted a picture of the cover of the book Actors On Acting, signed by his father Irrfan. Sharing the post, he wrote, "Up for lending." 'Irrfan in New York for The Namesake,' the legendary actor had written on the book.

Commenting on Babil's Instagram post, a user asked whether he plans to venture into Indian cinema or Hollywood, to which he replied saying he is interested in Indian cinema.

Earlier last week on Irrfan's birth anniversary, Babil shared an unseen video of his parents, Irrfan and Sutapa Sikdar. In the video, the proud parents can be seen saying that they miss their son. Babil's brother Ayan also features in the video and appears to be a little embarrassed in a loving way for his technologically inept parents. Sharing the video, Babil wrote that Irrfan didn't identify with the concept of birthdays.

He wrote, "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."
