Late actor Irrfan Khan's son Babil, who is all set to make his acting debut, often writes about missing his father in his Instagram posts. His latest one is a still from the Vishal Bhardwaj directed Maqbool, an adaptation of Shakespeare's play Macbeth. The throwback features Irrfan Khan with his co-star Tabu. Sharing the reason behind posting this image, Babil wrote: "I often calm my anxieties by looking at baba's pictures from NSD and earlier films. Here's something for his fans." He began the post by writing, "I know it's been a minute. When my superstitions allow me to, I will reveal what I've been busy with, but there's some stuff cooking." An emotional Babil added, "Anyway, since I'm obviously extremely frightened on having started my journey in Indian cinema without any formal training on acting and 8 years too early."
