In a note shared by Babil Khan on his Instagram handle over the weekend, Amitabh Bachchan remembered late actor Irrfan Khan. Irrfan, who worked with Bachchan and Deepika Padukone in the 2015 movie ‘Piku’, died on April 29, 2020. In his letter, the veteran actor wrote that friendship transcends death.
Dated March 17, 2022, the note was printed on a letterhead that included the address of Bachchan’s house Prateeksha. The entire content was printed except for the actor’s signature and a greeting on the top that read, “My dear Babil.” The letter read, “Life is transient and death is unfathomable, but ‘Friendship’ transcends death. Memories made, create a lasting impression on those left behind, and will never be forgotten. Each time we are reminded of a loved one through a phrase, a joke, an action. These are the things that will keep us close despite death.”
Bachchan added, “Your father Irrfan was a great soul and everyone whose lives he touched, are better for having known him. He is missed dearly.” He concluded his letter by sending his regards to Babil, his mother Sutapa Sikdar, and his younger brother Ayaan.
Irrfan was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in 2018 and was receiving treatment in London before he passed away. He was last seen in the 2020 movie ‘Angrezi Medium’, which was released only weeks before his demise.
