Could not forget your birthday this time Baba: Babil

Sharing the old video of Khan on Instagram, Babil wrote, "You never identified with institutions such as contractual marriage and birthday celebrations." "Perhaps, that is why I don't remember anyone's birthdays because you never remembered mine and never encouraged me to remember yours (sic)." "But this time I could not forget yours if I tried (sic)," he added in the caption.
