Babil's breakdown

In May, Babil shared a video on Instagram but deleted it within a few moments. However, netizens downloaded the clip wherein he said, “What I mean to say is that, I just want you guys to know that there are people like Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Pandey and Arjun Kapoor and Siddhant Chaturvedi and Raghav Juyal and Adarsh Gourav and even... Arijit Singh? There are so, so many more names. Bollywood is so f****ed. Bollywood is so, so rude.”ALSO READ: Babil Khan's Team Issues Statement Over Slamming Bollywood In Viral Video: Was Misinterpreted And Taken Out Of ContextHe broke down while saying, “Bollywood is the most fakest, fakest, fakest industry that I’ve ever ever been a part of.

Family clarifies

He deactivated his Instagram account after sharing the video, concerning fans about his mental health. Some time later, Babil’s account was reactivated and his mother, Sutapa Sikdar, shared a statement that read: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.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.

Babil's films

Following the incident, Babil has not announced his next film. He will be seen in Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming movie.
