Recently, a video of Babil Khan, son of the late actor Irrfan Khan and writer Sutapa Sikdar, went viral on social media. In the clip, Babil appears visibly emotional and is seen crying. The video was reportedly posted by Babil himself on Instagram before being deleted.

In the video, Babil named several Bollywood celebrities including Arjun Kapoor and Ananya Panday, calling them "fake." This sparked a wave of online discussion, prompting fellow actor and performer Raghav Juyal to comment on the situation.

Speaking to ETimes, Raghav Juyal revealed that he reached out to Babil’s mother, Sutapa Sikdar, to check on his condition. "I spoke to Sutapa ma’am and she said that Babil is going through an anxiety attack," Raghav stated. Sutapa reportedly told him, "Babil is in Hyderabad for a shoot. He's supposed to start filming from tomorrow. He’s now coming back home and needs rest. He needs to understand that we are all here for him."

Siddhant Chaturvedi Also Mentioned

Babil had also mentioned actor Siddhant Chaturvedi in his video. Raghav said Siddhant called him after the video surfaced and expressed concern, saying, “Something went wrong.” Raghav clarified that Babil likely meant that he and a few others had been supportive, while some people in the industry had been rude to him—but the message got misunderstood.

According to Raghav, Sutapa herself was puzzled by her son’s statements and expressed concern: “I don’t know why he said that. Clearly, he is very disturbed.”

Siddhant Chaturvedi Speaks Out

Siddhant Chaturvedi also addressed the issue in his Instagram story. Without naming anyone, he wrote, “Don’t try to find drama in our lives.” He added, “I usually don’t react to things written about me, but this feels personal. To gossip creators and Reddit users: please stop. Don’t search for drama in our lives.”

Official Statement from Babil’s Team

Following the uproar, Babil’s team released an official statement via his mother’s Instagram account. The message acknowledged Babil’s struggles and emphasized that he is currently safe.

The statement read: “Over the years, Babil has received immense love and respect for speaking openly about his acting journey and mental health. Like anyone, he too has tough days. This was one of them. We want to assure all his well-wishers that Babil is safe and will soon feel better.”
