Irrfan’s corner of thoughts
Irrfan Khan’s passing in April has left a void in the lives of the fans and more so in the lives of his sons, who keep remembering him by sharing memories of their father. His son Bilal Khan often takes to his Instagram sharing memories related to his work and the time they spent together.
In a series of posts, Babil has fondly shared the memories of how Irrfan made their house by the beach in Madh Island his working ground, before they shifted to the city. Babil gave fans a glimpse of Irrfan’s room where the late actor used to do his thinking and prep for a role. Along with it, he even gave out the secret that Irrfan implemented to perform. Along with several of Irrfan’s film posters, Babil also shared a picture of the corner where his father sat and thought.
“This is my father’s old room near the beach before we shifted to the city. This is where he did most of his work. Studying acting now, I think of one of the ideas that he used to implement; that the craft has immense emotional similarities to playing around as a child. At the age of 9, when you hold that cricket bat inside the walls of your room, you can feel a stadium roar and
see a bowler rushing to knock your head off,” he wrote, adding, “When I held that nerf gun in my hands, my father’s empty room always echoed in the silence of Madh Island, but in that moment I was John Wick surrounded by bad guys with machine guns, gunshots everywhere, and you can hear them, you know? I was a woman once, after watching Chak de India and I’d get excited dribbling around imaginary defenders and then really shoot that solid ball with my hockey stick and I’d break something. Oh I’d always break something, ma would get so pissed. I think you’ve got to find the child in you and keep it alive, no matter how old you get,” Babil wrote alongside the pictures.
