Babil Khan's heartfelt note that touched many

Along with the album, Babil wrote an emotional note for his father. He expressed his longing and acceptance and wrote, “I'm gonna miss you, you know? Standing under my umbrella. I'm going to miss you too, but I guess it's time to dance in the rain now.”
Actor Siddhanth Kapoor reacted to the post. He commented, “Your dad be very proud of you, bro.”Babil has often shared his feelings about his father. In another earlier note, he opened up about their bond. He wrote, “Nobody knew him like I did, nobody has known me like he did. It's easy to say, to miss him, it's easy. It's easy to be cathartic and cry about losing him. It's easy. Do you know what is hard? To remember the ecstasy in his voice when he would raise it in exaltation to scream “BABILUUUU!!!” every single time he'd see me. To remember then, how painful it would be to lose him for the stretches of barren time when he would be away shooting.”Babil further shared deeply personal memories. He wrote, “It is impossible to bear the memory of how his beard felt on my fingers when I would scratch his cheek as he read his script or how my finger tips would rest gently on his eye lids when he took a nap. His voice, was brilliantly deep, yet it evoked nothing but a gentle prayer from me, a prayer that could only rise from one's within when an external force has calmed your existential jitters to stillness. I wish I could have one last dance with you.”On the work front, Babil Khan was last seen in 'Logout'.
