Actor
Babil
Khan
posted
a
video
on
social
media
on
Sunday
in
which
he
lashed
out
at
several
actors.
Later,
he
deleted
his
account.
Babil,
the
late
Irrfan
Khan’s
son,
is
back
on
Instagram
claiming
that
the
video
was
‘extremely
misinterpreted’.
Taking
to
his
Instagram
stories,
Babil
shared
the
post
of
Kubbra
Sait,
in
which
she
has
shared
the
official
statement
from
his
family
related
to
the
issue.
In
the
caption,
Babil
wrote,
‘Thank
you
so
much.
This
video
was
extremely
misinterpreted,
I
was
trying
to
show
support
to
Ananya
Panday,
Shanaya
Kapoor,
Gaurav
Adarsh,
Arjun
Kapoor,
Raghav
Juyal,
Arijit
Singh.
‘I
genuinely
don’t
have
the
energy
to
indulge
more
but
I
do
this
as
responsibility
for
my
peers
that
I
truly
admire.’
Babil
re-shared
Raghav’s
Instagram
Stories
and
wrote,
‘Raghav
Juyal,
bhai,
you
are
my
icon,
my
idol,
and
my
elder
brother
that
I
never
had.’
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
posted
a
video
of
Babil
on
his
Instagram
Stories,
in
which
he
was
heard
saying,
‘Mujhe
itihaas
likhna
hai,
kitaab
nahi
(I
want
to
write
history,
not
a
book).’
Babil
reposted
it
and
wrote,
‘I
love
you,
brother.’
Siddhant
posted
a
long
note
supporting
Babil,
‘I
usually
never
engage
in
sh*t
written
about
me
and
my
colleagues,
but
this
one’s
personal.
So
to
all
the
Redditors,
gossip
columns,
and
media
portals
of
the
internet.
Stop.
‘We
love
to
hate
and
hate
to
love,
is
this
what
we’ve
come
to?
Stop
looking
for
drama
here.
All
of
us
are
working
hard
to
bring
drama
to
you
on
your
screens.
Shayad
wahan
thodi
kami
reh
gai
hogi
ki
aap
hamari
neeji
zindagi
mein
wo
dhoondhne
lage
ho?
(Maybe
there
was
something
missing
there
that
you
started
looking
for
in
our
personal
lives?).
‘Koshish
jaari
hai
hamari
taraf
se,
Aur
aap
bhi
koshish
karein
ki
koi
bhi
judgment
dene
se
pehle
ek
baar
soch
lein
(We’re
still
trying
from
our
side,
and
we
hope
you
also
try
to
think
once
before
passing
any
judgment).
Peace
out.’
Babil’s
family
released
a
clarification
about
the
video
that
he
had
posted:
‘Over
the
past
few
years,
Babil
Khan
has
earned
immense
love
and
appreciation
for
his
work,
as
well
as
for
his
openness
about
his
mental
health
journey.
Like
anyone
else,
Babil
is
allowed
to
have
difficult
days
—
and
this
was
one
of
them.
We
want
to
reassure
all
his
well-wishers
that
he
is
safe
and
will
be
feeling
better
soon.
‘Babil
has
been
widely
misinterpreted.
‘That
said,
a
video
of
Babil
has
been
widely
misinterpreted
and
taken
out
of
context.
In
the
clip,
Babil
was
sincerely
acknowledging
a
few
of
his
peers
whom
he
believes
are
making
meaningful
contributions
to
the
evolving
landscape
of
Indian
cinema.
‘His
mention
of
artists
like
Ananya
Panday,
Shanaya
Kapoor,
Siddhant
Chaturvedi,
Raghav
Juyal,
Adarsh
Gourav,
Arjun
Kapoor,
and
Arijit
Singh
came
from
a
place
of
genuine
admiration
—
for
their
authenticity,
passion,
and
efforts
to
restore
credibility
and
heart
in
the
industry.
‘We
respectfully
urge
media
publications
and
the
public
to
consider
the
full
context
of
his
words
rather
than
drawing
conclusions
from
fragmented
video
clips.’
On
Sunday,
Babil
was
seen
breaking
down
on
his
Instagram
account,
lashing
out
at
several
actors
and
talking
about
the
pressures
and
challenges
of
being
a
part
of
Bollywood.
The
young
actor,
who
was
last
seen
in
the
OTT
film,
Logout,
has
been
vocal
about
the
emotional
toll
of
losing
his
father
whose
fifth
death
anniversary
was
on
April
29.
