Through his social media posts, Babil Khan has been keeping memories of his father Irrfan alive. Be it throwback pictures or anecdotes, the budding actor is keen on taking Irrfan's legacy forward. Now, in the latest interview with a magazine, Babil opened up about how his mother Sutapa Sikdar sacrificed her career for Irrfan and the family. He added that she was not credited enough for her efforts. 

Babil told the magazine, "She ­sacrificed her career to raise us and make sure Baba’s work continued uninterrupted. And let me tell you, she’s a very ambitious woman. It takes a lot to put your ambitions aside for your partner, for your children. It must’ve killed her to do it and yet she did. Baba was Baba because Mumma was Mumma. He’d be nothing without her. And I don’t think she gets enough ­credit. Not even from Baba. It was only after his sickness that he acknowledged the scale of her contribution towards his success."
