Sutapa Sikdar Pens Emotional Poem For Babil After He Cries Publicly Remembering Irrfan

The 66th Filmfare Awards were held recently and amidst the fun anecdotes, power-packed performances, there was an emotional tribute that was paid to late actor Irrfan Khan. When the tribute was being shown on screen, Irrfan’s son Babil Khan, who attended the award function, broke down in tears. A video of it has been making rounds on the internet, reports NDTV.

Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar took to Instagram and shared a picture of Babil crying. Along with it, she penned down a heartwarming poem dedicated to Babil. In the poem titled ‘Mera Beta’, she called him a “sakht launda” adding that he cries openly and not secretly, reports Hindustan Times.

Read the poem here:

Bada kadak launda hai woh
Chup chup ke nahi, sabke samne zor zor se rota hai woh
Bada kadak launda hai
Baap ke yaadon ko samethta hai nazuk ungliyon se
Bikherta hai unhe khushboo ki tarha
Sahejta hai unhe bandh dairy mein

Bada sakht launda hai woh
Apni maa ko gale laga ke keh pata hai
‘Puri zindagi tu ghana pedh thi hum sab ke liye
Ab udd maa pankh fayelaye, hosh gawaye
Sharmata hai gaalon par uske girte hai dimple muskurakar
Jab kehta hai apni hi maa ko, ‘ab toh jaa jeele apni zindagi Simran’

Sutapa wrote how after Babil cries at night, he doesn’t deny it for the sake of his manliness. Instead, he openly expresses how he cried the entire night.

Bada sakht launda hai yeh
Raat bhar rota hai baba ki yaad mein
Jab ankh soojh jaati hai toh poochne par yeh nahi kehta apni mardangi ke khaatir ki soya nahi raat bhar
Keh deta hai roya hoon maa

Ahsaas ko jazbaad ko mann mein bojh banake nahi rakhta kyunki mard hai woh
Allah kaa lakh lakh sukr hai bada sakht launda hai mera beta
Kyuki jazbaat chupane ke liye, nahi dikhane ke liye jeegar chahiye hota hai
Purane rivayaton ko todkar, naye aayam banane ke liye jeegar chahiye hota hai
Bahut bahut sakht hona padhta hai naram dikhane ke liye
Bada sakht launda hai yeh

What a beautiful poem with a strong message. Crying doesn’t make a man weak. In fact, being vulnerable needs strength.
