Babil Khan’s recent viral video has sparked a lot of controversy. In the video, he called out several Bollywood stars, labeling them as “fake.” The clip, which was initially shared on his Instagram story, was later deleted, and his account was also deactivated. However, not before it made its rounds on social media.
Harshvardhan Rane Offers Support and Advice
Reacting to the viral video, actor Harshvardhan Rane took to his Instagram stories to share his thoughts. While supporting Babil, Harshvardhan also offered some valuable advice. He urged Babil to stay focused on his craft and avoid distractions.
Harshvardhan’s message read: “Dear Babil Khan, you’ve inherited an incredible acting talent. Keep nurturing it by focusing on your work and giving your best.” He further cautioned Babil against attending events and after-parties, which could lead to unnecessary interactions with people who might not have his best interests at heart.
A Caution Against Substance Abuse
Harshvardhan also warned Babil about the dangers of substance abuse, including alcohol. He emphasized the importance of staying strong and grounded, especially in the face of adversity. According to Harshvardhan, maintaining one’s mental and physical well-being is crucial for success in the entertainment industry.
The advice comes from Harshvardhan’s own experiences, having navigated the industry without the backing of a established film family. He believes that setting boundaries and being firm is key to dealing with challenging situations.
Babil Khan’s Response
Following the backlash, Babil’s mother, Sutapa Sikdar, released a statement addressing the controversy. She attributed her son’s outburst to an anxiety attack he suffered while in Hyderabad for a shoot. Sutapa also revealed that Babil was doing fine and had since clarified the context of his original video.
Babil himself took to Instagram to clear the air, stating that his comments were misinterpreted. He was, in fact, expressing his appreciation for the support of certain stars, not criticizing them. He also thanked Raghhav Juyal and Siddhant Chaturvedi for their support during this challenging time.
