May 4, 2025: Babil Khan, the son of late Bollywood icon Irrfan Khan, has made headlines once again, this time for an emotional and tear-filled Instagram video that saw him calling out several Bollywood celebrities. In a video that was later deleted, Babil slammed the likes of Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and more, criticizing the film industry he recently entered.
“What I mean to say is that I just want you guys to know that there are people like Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, and Arijit Singh… Bollywood is so f*****,” Babil tearfully expressed, visibly distressed. His words, filled with frustration and disillusionment, sparked concerns among his fans about his mental health.
The video went viral, only to be deleted shortly after. But Babil’s message was clear — he feels alienated and betrayed by an industry that often thrives on its own superficialities. Shortly after, Ananya Panday posted a cryptic Instagram update, sharing a Hagrid quote from Harry Potter: “What’s comin’ will come and we’ll meet it when it does,” fueling speculation about her possible response to Babil’s words.
In another video clip, Babil went further, labeling Bollywood the “most fakest” industry he had ever been part of. Yet, despite his bitterness, he hinted at his desire for change, promising his followers, “I have so much more to give you.”
Fans quickly reacted online, with many expressing concern for Babil’s well-being. “Something must have triggered this. Babil seems genuinely hurt,” one Reddit user remarked. Another fan highlighted Babil’s emotional post on the anniversary of his father’s death, hinting that the young actor is still grappling with grief.

Babil’s public breakdown comes just as he continues to carve out his own niche in the film industry. Known for his roles in Qala (2022), Friday Night Plan (2023), and The Railway Men (2023), Babil’s career is on the rise, but his emotional state suggests that the pressures of fame are taking a toll.
In a bold move, Babil Khan deleted his Instagram account after the video, leaving fans and industry watchers wondering if this is the end of his public social media presence — or the start of a more introspective journey.
