Babil Khan on social anxiety
When questioned about his absence from film parties, Babil said, “Because I am not a star kid.
Baba was not a contemporary star from any angle. But now he has become because of all the
chatter. He is different. You can’t put him in a box. I go to parties sometimes. I have social
anxiety, and that is not the only reason. I like to stay alone. I like to work on who I am.”
Babil Khan on heart-wrenching memories of Irrfan Khan, his father
Babil admitted that his father’s huge fan following would often scare him. The actor said, “So,
when a bodyguard comes and takes him away because the crowd is rushing to him and that
hand gets pulled away, for the child, I think it’s very traumatic. I had distance from my father,
physical distance because he was shooting a lot, but he was very affectionate towards me when
he was there.” It is evident that Babil Khan is extremely close to his family. We have often heard
him talking about his interactions with his father. Now, he absolutely dotes on his mother,
Sutapa Sikdar.
