On his first death anniversary, late actor Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar and son Babil took to social media to pen down heartbreaking notes celebrating the actor that gave an insight into the actor’s last time and his larger than life attitude towards life.

Sutapa wrote in-depth in the note about the actor’s last night at the hospital and how she and her friend sang songs for him. She went on to talk about the time he passed away, which was so surreal as he was so interested in the mystery of numbers. Sutapa also wrote about the emotional turmoil she went through when she had to change her name. Towards the end, she also spoke about the day she met Irrfan Khan for the first time.

“People living deeply have no fear of death Anais Nin your favorite poet Irrfan. Last year tonight me and my friends sang songs for you, all your favorite songs. The nurses were looking at us strangely as they were used to religious chants in critical times but I had overdone that for you Irrfan morning evening and night for two years and since they told me it was time I wanted you to go with memories you loved ‘so we sang songs’. The next day you left for the next station I hope you knew where to get down without me” she wrote.

Babil posted a picture of Irrfan Khan on Instagram. In the image, the late actor can be seen working on making a table dressed in a lemon-colored T-shirt paired with blue denim.

Alongside the image, 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.”
