Mumbai, May 6 (NationPress) “Raid 2” actor Amit Sial has shown his support for Babil Khan following the young star's recent emotional outburst that gained public attention.
In a recent discussion, Sial reflected on the emotional challenges that performers frequently encounter within the industry. When questioned about the increasing trend of actors expressing their frustrations online and whether they should temper their remarks to maintain their public persona, Amit Sial recounted valuable advice he once received from the late Irrfan Khan, Babil’s father, noting that the current situation is profoundly personal.
He remarked to IANS, “Irrfan bhai once provided me with guidance, albeit on a completely different subject. Regarding Babil’s situation, it’s his personal journey. He shared a video during a vulnerable moment. I don’t feel it’s my place to comment. He and his family are managing this already. Life is full of ups and downs. He chose to express his feelings publicly, which invites reactions. Perhaps that was a misstep, but he didn’t harm anyone—he simply voiced his emotions. It’s unjust to criticize someone during such times. Everyone has the right to keep their private lives to themselves.”
When discussing Babil Khan's assertion that Bollywood is insincere, the actor indicated he doesn't think the ‘Qala’ star intended to implicate the entire industry.
“With so many individuals working here, including you and me, that likely stemmed from a place of frustration. Maybe he was alluding to just a few people. I don't believe Babil meant to target the whole industry either. He was distressed—possibly not fully aware of what he was articulating. There’s no reason to turn it into an investigative drama. Let it be.”
Babil Khan, the offspring of the late iconic actor Irrfan Khan, recently found himself at the center of a social media uproar after an emotional clip of him circulated widely. In the video, Babil appeared distraught as he discussed his personal challenges, labeling Bollywood as “the most fake industry.” He also mentioned several notable figures during the video, including Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, and singer Arijit Singh.
However, Babil Khan’s team later clarified that the video was misinterpreted and taken out of context.
