While Father's Day is an occasion for kids to pamper their dads,
Irrfan
wants his younger son, Ayan, to understand the Gandhian philosophy. The actor, who plays a vigilante in his upcoming film, '
Madaari
', and believes in
Mahatma Gandhi's ideology, will take his 11-year-old son to
Sabarmati Ashram
tomorrow.
He will also share with Ayan the historical significance of the place and how
Gandhiji initiated his fight for India's independence from the ashram in Ahmedabad.
Says a source close to the actor's family, "Irrfan wants Ayan to experience the tranquility at the ashram and give him an insight into Indian history. It was his idea that he and his son pay homage to Gandhiji on Father's Day."

Confirming their travel to Sabarmati Ashram, Irrfan said, "Mahatma Gandhi was a common man who brought about such a huge change in society. I want to introduce my son to the father of the nation who is a representative of the extraordinary amongst ordinary men."
