Irrfan Khan’s son Babil Khan, who has been penning his thoughts on his father and life after his death, has revealed that he has lost friends over religious discrimination. In a series of heartbreaking Instagram stories, he said that he is scared of the sudden religious divide.
Speaking from his personal experience, Babil wrote, "Mandatory holiday for Eid cancelled on Friday while holiday for Raksha Bandhan on Monday still given. Okay then no problem, I'll just celebrate Eid when it's not Eid on Saturday."
He further wrote, "I know the whole world is in f***ing frenzy but our beautiful secular India's sudden relapse of the religious divide is honestly getting scary. I have friends that have stopped communicating with me because I'm of a certain religion. Friends I played cricket with when I was 12. I miss my friends. My Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, human friends. I just miss not giving a f*** about what surname I was born with."
Babil also said that his words would incite hate towards him and will be termed as anti-national too. "Waiting for the 'toh Pakistan Ja na phir you anti-nationalist' comments like.... (sic) First of all, I love India, and I'm telling you this because I do my education in London and every time I go, I can't wait to come back and take rickshaw rides with my hernias, have panipuri at Aksa beach, travel anywhere; in the forests, the crowds... I love India. Don't you dare, call me an anti-nationalist, I promise you, I'm a boxer, I will break your nose,” he further wrote.
"One last thing. Thank you for all of the immense love you have shown me and f*** you to all the people who want me to leave the country (well not really, if you want we can have a chat and discuss what the problem is),” he concluded.
Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29 after his prolonged battle with neuroendocrine tumour.
