When a person dies, a part of every person related to them dies. There are millions of memories that make it hard for the family members to fill in the vacuum and void, and crying is not enough to suffix for the pain your heart feels. You crave their touch, their hug, their voice, their presence and everything about the person. However, there are few people whose presence and death does not affect only their family members, but millions of people. Irrfan Khan was one such soul, who had touched people's life enough that his death felt like losing an important member of our own family.

Irrfan’s elder son, Babil took to his Instagram handle to thank everyone for their support and condolence, also asking people to understand his condition for not being able to get back to everyone. Babil shared a story on his Instagram handle, which can be read as “I’m deeply grateful for all the condolences you beautiful friends are pouring in for me. Although I hope you understand that right now I’m not being able to reply because my vocabulary is dizzy. I will get back to each one of you but just not right now. Thank you so much. I love you.”
Post Irrfan Khan’s death, according to a report by ETimes, his elder brother, Imran had said that Irrfan has gone up to meet their ‘ammi’ as he could not attend her last rites. For the uninitiated, Irrfan’s mother had passed away in Jaipur just three days before the actor’s death, and he could not travel for the last rites because of the lockdown and his ill health, and thus attended the funeral through a video call. Irrfan’s brother talked about this, and said, "It appears that while Bhaijaan was unable to make it to the burial of our mother, he has gone up there to meet mother. Woh kehtey theey fikar na karo main aaonga." (Recommended Read: Abigail Pande Shares A Sizzling Handstand Kiss With The Love Of Her Life, Sanam Johar, Watch Video)
