"Pictures of you. Pictures of me. (I used to say "sofa mode activated" before I jumped on him and fell asleep on his back)," Babil wrote in his caption.

Fans got emotional as many took to the comment section and remembered the Piku actor and his work.

Babil Khan often spoke about his father, not as an actor but as his guide.

You taught me of hope and you taught me to fight for the people. You do not have fans, you have a family, and I promise you baba I will fight for our people and our family till you call upon me. I will not give up. I love you so much."

Irrfan died at a Mumbai hospital on April 29, 2020. He was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour.

Considered one of India's finest actors, Irrfan worked in critically acclaimed films such as Life in a... Metro, The Lunchbox and Hindi Medium.
