Late actor Irrfan Khan’s son Babil Khan is all set to start shooting for YRF’s first OTT project titled The Railway Men starring R Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon and Divyenndu. While Babil has managed to grab everyone’s attention with his first look in the teaser of his debut film, Qala, his mom Sutapa Sikdar is in no mood to go easy with her criticism for her son.

In a recent Instagram post, Sikdar shared that having lived with husband Irrfan Khan—a man who defined perfection—has led her to become a difficult mom to impress and dedicated the post to all single moms.
She wrote, “So this week my son started shooting. I am mighty exhilarated for this Babil Khan kid. I am a little late to share this but I wanted to tell all the single mothers that parenting is tough, especially if your child is used to both the parents for 21 years of their life, but it is not impossible (Applauding all single mothers).”

She further apologised to son for being his most difficult critic, “Sorry son, but sharing my world with a legend all my life (30 years, factually. Lifetime, emotionally. Eternity, spiritually) has got my standards very high. I don’t want to frighten you and overburden you, we have social media for that. I want to remind you, as Baba said and rightly so, that I am the most difficult critic to please.”
“You are beginning baccha and your hard work is the first tick I am happy to give. I know you are overwhelmed with the amazing cast of the series and at the same time feel lucky to be able to learn from the best. But truly I happily put the second tick as I see you in the poster with seasoned actors, still just being there not trying extra or faking but actually looking at something to do with the premise of the show. Even if it’s just a poster,” she concluded.

Irrfan Khan was a legendary actor and his fans surely have high expectations from his son. Some even have started targeting and trolling him even before the release of his film. Time and again, he’s been the target of the troll brigade and gets compared to his late father’s outstanding achievements.
Considering all of that, Sikdar asking her son not to rush his father’s legacy is parenting goals. We are sure Sutapa will bring out the best in Babil and help him stay grounded.
