On Irrfan Khan's first death anniversary, his son Babil Khan shared some unseen pictures and remembered him with an emotional note on social media. 

Irrfan, one of the finest actors in the world, passed away on April 29 last year after a long battle with cancer. His fans and movie lovers remember him on this day and shared his pictures and videos captioning with some kind words.  

Babil took to social media and said no one can ever replace the late actor. During his last phase of life, Irrfan found joy in the simple things, like building his own table or writing journals, revealed Babil. 

Babil wrote: "Chemo burns you from the inside, so to find joy in the simple things, like building your own table to write your own journals. There is a purity, I have not yet discovered. There is a legacy that has already been concluded by my Baba himself. A full stop. Nobody can ever replace him. Nobody will ever be able to. To the greatest best friend, companion, brother, father, I ever had and ever will have. I love you so much, for the rest of this chaos we are choosing to call life."

Babil said he misses him ‘more than all that shah-Jahan/ Mumtaz stuff’ and would have built a space monument. “I miss you, more than all that shah-Jahan/mumtaz stuff; I would have built a space monument that could have taken us to the furthest parts of a blackhole singularity you were always intrigued by, but I would have been there with you Baba, and we could have gone together, hand in hand. (Exploring the last mysteries)” his note further reads.

In his second post, Babil shared the photo of a note written by Irrfan, dated June 25, when he was undergoing treatment for cancer in London. "The most amazing period of life in London, June 25, 2018. The period of realisation of inner mechanism and the experience of magic which lays on the other sideof the conditioned mind. The world of sensations and clear unburdened mind."
