Babil Khan, son of the late legendary actor Irrfan Khan, has deactivated his Instagram account following a widely shared emotional video in which he alleged facing bullying and toxicity in the Bollywood film industry.
The now-viral video, initially posted to his Instagram stories and later circulated on social media platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), shows Babil visibly distressed and on the verge of tears. In the video, he criticized the behavior of several industry figures, naming Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, and even popular singer Arijit Singh. He described his experiences in the industry as “deeply hurtful” and went on to call Bollywood “so f*****” and “screwed.”
Following the uproar and widespread concern from fans and followers, Babil’s Instagram account went offline. As of now, searching for his profile returns a “User not found” message, indicating that the account has either been deleted or deactivated.
This sudden move has sparked a larger conversation online about mental health, bullying, and the pressure young actors face in the entertainment world. Support has poured in from fans and netizens who are urging the film industry to introspect on its treatment of emerging talents, especially those who may not conform to industry cliques.
As of now, neither Babil Khan nor his team has issued an official statement about the video or his decision to go offline. The situation has left many of his fans concerned and hoping for his well-being.
