Many in the film industry supported Babil for speaking honestly and from the heart. Karan Johar also commented on the negativity surrounding Nadaaniyan, a Netflix film featuring star kids Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor. He said the film faced a lot of online hate just because it starred children of famous actors.

According to Karan, criticizing star kids has become a trend and brings more attention online. He urged people to move past this attitude and judge films fairly. Babil’s situation and Karan’s comments have sparked discussions about pressure, honesty, and the ongoing debate around nepotism in Bollywood.

Babil’s Deleted Viral Video

In the now-deleted viral video, Babil Khan was heard saying, “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 f***. Bollywood is so sc***ed.”

He also says, “Bollywood is the most fakest, fakest, fakest industry that I’ve ever ever been a part of. But there are a few people who want Bollywood to be better (smiles)…I got to show to you so much more, so much more, so much more. I have so much more to give you…..” 

Following the video going viral, Babil pulled down the clip and disconnected from social media for a while. However, he soon returned to Instagram and addressed the controversy. The actor’s family and team also released a statement in response to the video being ‘extremely misinterpreted.’
