May 5, 2025: Babil Khan, son of the late actor Irrfan Khan, has deleted his Instagram account after sharing — and then removing — an emotional video in which he spoke about bullying and “fake people” in the Bollywood industry.
Clips from the now-deleted video surfaced on Reddit, showing Babil visibly upset and tearful. In the video, the young actor called out several celebrities, including Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, and even singer Arijit Singh, saying, “Bollywood is so f*****. Bollywood is so screwed.”
He continued, “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.”
The video has sparked widespread concern among fans, many of whom took to social media and Reddit to express worry over Babil’s mental health and speculate about what might have triggered such a candid outburst.
As of now, Babil’s Instagram account displays a message saying the page is no longer available, indicating it has either been deactivated or deleted.
The incident has reignited conversations about mental health, bullying, and the pressures faced by young actors in the film industry, especially those with star lineage but no established support group.
No official statement has yet been released by Babil or his representatives.
