MUMBAI: Irrfan was a renowned actor. Fans loved his work immensely. When he left this world everyone was shocked and heartbroken. The renowned actor, who represented India in Hollywood, died in April 2020, after his battle with neuroendocrine cancer.
The late actor’s son Babil is gearing up to enter the film world. Babil will be making his acting debut with Qala. The film also stars Tripti Dimri of Bulbbul fame. He will also be seen in a film on the Bhopal Gs Tragedy, The Railway Man.
Babil has said his mother Sutapa Sikdar sacrificed her career in order to let Irrfan work.
In an interview with GQ, Babil opened up about his mom Sutapa's sacrifice and said, “She sacrificed her career to raise us and make sure Baba’s work continued uninterrupted. And let me tell you, she’s a very ambitious woman. It takes a lot to put your ambitions aside for your partner, for your children. It must’ve killed her to do it and yet she did. Baba was Baba because Mumma was Mumma. He’d be nothing without her. And I don’t think she gets enough credit. Not even from Baba." He added that Irrfan realised Sutapa's sacrifices only in his last days. "It was only after his sickness that he acknowledged the scale of her contribution towards his success.”
Talking about Irrfan and Sutapa, they fell in love during their days at the National School of Drama. They tied the knot in 1995. On their 55th birth anniversary this year, Sutapa opened up about her special bond with Irrfan. She told Pinkvilla, “He never made me feel special. I knew I was. He couldn’t imagine his life without me. It doesn’t sound humble but for many years, he was scared that I’d get bored and leave him."
