Babil Khan statement on viral video:

A video of Babil Khan criticizing Bollywood and labeling it the fakest place to work is spreading like wildfire online. His team has now issued an official statement, saying that he had a bad day and was in that mood during the recording of the video clip.

Read the official statement from Babil Khan's family and team below:

Over the past few years, Babil Khan has earned immense love and appreciation for his work as well as for his openness about his mental health journey. Like anyone else, Babil is allowed to have difficult days—and this was one of them. We want to reassure all his well-wishers that he is safe and will be feeling better soon. That said, a video of Babil has been widely misinterpreted and taken out of context. In the clip, Babil was sincerely acknowledging a few of his peers whom he believes are making meaningful contributions to the evolving landscape of Indian cinema. His mention of artists like Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, Arjun Kapoor, and Arijit Singh stems from a place of genuine admiration—for their authenticity, passion, and efforts to restore credibility and heart in the industry. We respectfully urge media publications and the public to consider the full context of his words rather than drawing conclusions from fragmented video clips.

In the video, Babil is heard saying, "Bollywood is the most fakest, fakest, fakest industry that I’ve ever been a part of. But there are a few people who want Bollywood to be better. I've got so much more to show you, so much more, so much more. I have so much more to give you. 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. There are so many more names. Bollywood is so messed up. Bollywood is so screwed," he is heard saying.
