Babil Khan On Being Labelled As A Star Kid

In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble, Babil Khan shares an anecdote about being called a star kid. He says, “I think if you want to call me a star kid, then you should’ve gone… what was Baba’s box office like, you know what I mean? You’re saying all this now, but if it really mattered, then why didn’t you all buy tickets and go watch his films? How much did Paan Singh make? Twenty crores? Thirty crores? Why didn’t it make a hundred crores? I mean, I could get slammed for saying this, but somehow, I said it anyway.”
