Irrfan Khan is no more with us. He left for his heavenly abode on April 29 at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. He was 53 and is survived by wife, Sutapa Sikdar, and sons, Babil and Ayaan.
Amidst the grief, an old video of Irrfan has surfaced on social media and is making headlines. His son Babil took to his Instagram handle on Friday to share an old clip of his father savouring ‘panipuri’ post shoot.
Alongside the video, Babil wrote, “When you’re on diet for so long and then the shoot ends and you can have pani puri (sic).”
