Late actor Irrfan Khan’s son, Babil Khan, recently went viral after an emotional video of him started trending on Reddit and other social media platforms. In the clip, Babil spoke about Bollywood and mentioned several popular actors like Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, Arjun Kapoor, and even singer Arijit Singh.
The video left many fans concerned. Babil, known for his role in the film Logout, appeared to be going through a tough time. Some users on social media expressed worry about his mental health, with many urging his friends and family to check on him.
However, Babil’s family and management team quickly stepped in to clear things up. They released an official statement to address the growing speculation online.
The statement started by thanking the public for supporting Babil over the past few years. It read, “Babil Khan has received a lot of love for his acting and also for being open about his mental health journey.”
It continued, “Like anyone else, Babil also has tough days — and that video was from one such moment. We want to assure everyone that he is doing fine and will be feeling better very soon.”
The family also made it clear that the clip being shared online had been taken out of context. Many people had misunderstood the intention behind Babil’s words.
The statement explained, “In the video, Babil was actually appreciating some of his fellow artists. He was trying to show respect to those who are working hard to bring honesty and heart back into Indian cinema.”
The family added that Babil’s mention of stars like Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Adarsh Gourav, Raghav Juyal, Arjun Kapoor, and Arijit Singh was not a criticism — but instead came from a place of genuine admiration. He was highlighting their passion, talent, and efforts in today’s film industry.
“We ask the media and the public to see the full context of what Babil said, instead of reacting to short video clips that don’t show the full picture,” the statement said.
Babil Khan’s mother, Sutapa Sikdar, also reposted the statement on her Instagram story, adding her support to her son.
Fans have continued to send Babil messages of love and support. Many have praised him for being open about his struggles and for speaking honestly, even during emotional moments.
Babil Khan, much like his late father Irrfan Khan, has been appreciated for his unique acting style and deep thoughts. His recent emotional moment reminds us all that mental health is important and should be treated with care and understanding.
