In a recent emotional video, actor Babil Khan, son of the late Irrfan Khan, expressed feelings of alienation within the Bollywood industry. Visibly upset, he named several celebrities, including Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, and Arijit Singh, describing them as “so, so rude” and referring to Bollywood as “so f***ed” . The video was subsequently deleted, and Babil deactivated his Instagram account, raising concerns among fans about his well-being .
Following the video’s circulation, Ananya Panday shared a cryptic post on Instagram. The post included a quote from the character Hagrid in the Harry Potter series: “What’s comin’ will come and we’ll meet it when it does,” accompanied by the caption, “Final touches and a little bit of this and that” . While Ananya did not directly address Babil’s remarks, the timing of her post led to speculation about its intent.
The incident has sparked discussions about the dynamics within the film industry, with many expressing concern for Babil’s mental health and calling for a more inclusive and supportive environment for emerging artists.
