Irrfan Khan died on April 29, 2020, after a two-year long battle with neuroendocrine tumour.

Babil, the elder son of Irrfan, frequently shares posts and throwback videos of his late father. Earlier, he posted a picture of a young Irrfan and captioned it as, “For in my dreams, I have no knowledge of your desertion. In my dreams today, you told me you were about to leave me and you held me for so long. Imagine the fact that I just woke up cause my phone rang for yet another offer to act, for yet another film. Now what sense does all this make without you Baba? I’d rather keep dreaming. (Tears make it hard to type, someone invent a phone for people that cry a lot plis).”
