Actor Babil Khan, on Wednesday, shared an emotional note for his mother, Sutapa Sikdar, revealing how she continues to be his constant support system.
Sharing a beautiful set of pictures featuring the mother and son duo, Babil wrote, "She still worries about me from home, she's been raising me on her own."

Babil has often spoken about how Sutapa Sikdar has been his pillar of strength, especially after the demise of his father, Irrfan Khan.
In many of his interactions with media and on his social media, he has credited her for holding the family together during the most difficult phase of their lives.
In fact, Sutapa too, in her earlier interviews, has spoken about Babil standing strong beside her after Irrfan's passing.

A few days ago, Babil seemingly was missing his father, Irrfan Khan.
The young actor, sharing his childhood pictures featuring Irrfan, wrote, "To begin again, remembering you. With my feet planted firm in my roots."
Reacting to the post, Babil's mother Sutapa Sikdar commented, "What beautiful pictures both with same expression. Mashaallah ".

Irrfan Khan was a legend. It's beautiful to see his family's bond. Babil is carrying his father's legacy with such grace. More power to Sutapa ma'am for being the rock of the family.
Respect. In our culture, a mother's sacrifice is everything. She worries because she cares. Babil acknowledging this publicly is very touching. God bless them.
While the sentiment is beautiful, I sometimes feel these very personal family moments are becoming part of a public performance on social media. The love is real, but maybe some things are best kept private?
Lost my father early too. This hits home. That line "she still worries about me from home" – that's every Indian mother, beta! Their support system is everything. Babil is making his parents proud.
Such a strong woman. To hold everything together after such a loss... it's inspiring. Babil seems like a wonderful son. Irrfan sir would be so proud of them both.
