A latest video of late actor Irrfan Khan’s son, Babil Khan, has become viral with immense concern from fans and netizens alike. The emotionally charged video, which was said to be removed just moments after being shared on Instagram, features Babil crying while lambasting the film industry for being rude and inauthentic.
“Bollywood Is So, So Rude”
Babil can be seen very upset in the video, expressing his anger at the ways of Bollywood. “Bollywood is so f*ed. Bollywood is so, so rude,” he complains in the video, now taken off his social media. He names a few like Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, and so-called outsiders like Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, and Adarsh Gourav, pointing towards the intricate relationships within the business. His emotional comments point towards feelings of isolation, even though he is a star kid.
In another segment of the clip, Babil states, “Bollywood is the most fakest, fakest, fakest industry that I’ve ever, ever been a part of. But there are few people that want Bollywood to be better… I have so much more to give you.” His comment has caused many to think about the psychological impact that the film industry can have on young performers.

Fans Show Deep Concern
Reddit users immediately responded with compassion and worry, theorizing that Babil might be dealing with depression over being alone. Someone posted, “He is young and vulnerable in a very, very competitive arena without a father.” Others called for the public to also be more understanding, citing the pressure of fame and constant public eye can significantly impact mental health.
Recalling Irrfan Khan
The viral clip comes just days after Babil paid a heartfelt tribute to his father, Irrfan Khan, on the fifth anniversary of his demise. The acting legend died on April 29, 2020, after a long struggle with neuroendocrine cancer. Babil has frequently talked about his father’s impact and the emotional vacuum caused by his death.
