He was the finest Bollywood has ever produced and there'll be no other Irrfan Khan ever. But his son Babil Khan seems to be taking forward his father's legacy. He is expected to make his film debut soon. Until then, we got a glimpse of emotional Babil as he accepted the trophy posthumously awarded to late Irrfan Khan at Filmfare Awards 2021. A video of Babil Khan crying at the event has made its way to social media.
The channel has shared a promo video that sees host Riteish Deshmukh narrating an emotional tribute dedicated to Irrfan Khan. Babil has tears in his eyes as pictures of Irrfan Khan roll out. He then sobs hard as Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao give out their emotional tributes to Irrfan Khan. As he takes to the dias, Babil hugs Ayushmann and Rajkummar Rao. He then says that he hasn't prepared a speech but he promises to take Indian cinema to newer heights. He also thanked everyone for accepting him with open arms.
Not just Babil Khan, all the celebrities seated also got teary-eyed with emotional tributes given to Irrfan Khan. Rajkummar Rao too was in tears. Check out the video here:
