Fans are worried after a video of the late star Irrfan Khan's son, Babil Khan, went viral. Babil criticises the film industry in the tearful video, stating, "Bollywood is so f***ed, Bollywood is so, so sc***ed." He is angry and crying. In an attempt to express his sense of estrangement, he refers to several people, including Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, and other outsiders.
"What I mean to say is that I just want you guys to know that there are people like Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, and Arijit Singh," Babil Khan can be heard saying in the now-deleted viral video. The list of names is endless. Bollywood is f***ing awful. Bollywood is so sc***ed.
Khan is heard stating, "Bollywood is the most fakest, fakest, fakest industry that I've ever ever been a part of," in another segment of the removed footage. However, there aren't many people who wish for Bollywood to improve (laughs). You have no idea how much more I have to show you. I have a lot more to offer you.
Although the video's motivation is yet unknown, it has raised questions among internet users over the Logout actor's emotional health.
Many people conjectured that he might be experiencing loneliness or marginalisation in the film industry. Others urged the public to show greater empathy and understanding, speculating that he might be dealing with more serious personal issues.
Although Babil has not yet responded to the video publicly, and it is no longer visible on his Instagram Stories, it is evident that the incident has struck a chord with viewers, sparking conversations about mental health and the emotional difficulties that accompany working in the field. One user remarked, "God, this is sad. He's going through a lot." Another said, "Something's happened. He is young and vulnerable in a very, very competitive space without a father.
This follows Babil Khan’s candid conversation with News18, where he spoke about the intense pressure he has experienced since the passing of his father, legendary actor Irrfan Khan. He revealed that the weight of expectations quickly became "too much to bear". People, he said, would constantly bring up his father’s legacy, often asking him, “Do you know who you are?” He also reflected on how the relentless pursuit of validation can take away one’s sense of self-worth.
