“During baba’s most unbearable peak cancer period, mamma used to get corns on her feet, running around and taking care of him. So baba used to tie his phone on his head as a light source and operate on her corns. Both peeling off hardened layers of resistance towards the soft skin of love,” he captioned the post.

Irrfan’s pictures left netizens emotional. “What a beautiful memory. Sir will always live on in everything you do”, a netizen wrote. “So much pain and warmth in these pictures”, another social media user commented.

Irrfan passed away at a Mumbai hospital on April 29, 2020. He was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour and lost his life to it. Considered one of the finest actors in the Indian film industry, the actor worked in some of the most critically acclaimed films in India, like ‘Life in a… Metro’, ‘The Lunchbox’, and ‘Hindi Medium’.
