Irrfan Khan's son Babil remembers late father with a poem; 'Your ashes healed the soil'

Late actor Irrfan Khan’s demise has left a deep void in the heart of the fans which can never be filled. Though his fans constantly remember the iconic actor, his son Babil leaves no stone unturned to share his thoughts on his father on social media. Recently, Babil shared an unseen happy picture of his parents-Irrfan and Sutapa Sikdar and dedicated a poem to them.

Through his poem, Babil conveyed his thoughts about how much he misses his father each day and how he is flapping his wings in the other world happily. “My dreams are stirred in the smell of sand, after the last monsoon rain. I’ve kept my wounds open for you, for I’m afraid that scars can lie and I sure have learned to feign. Looking for a painting in the cigarette stains between your fingertips and memory in the fumes of butane. You lit yourself on fire, you burned yourself away. Your ashes healed the soil, now in the wind, you play.”
