Keep It Real, You All: Shahid Kapoor Speaks On Mental Health Amid Babil Khan's Emotional Breakdown
Mumbai: Actor Shahid Kapoor urged all to keep it real and look within themselves through his latest social media post. Sharing a photo of himself on his Instagram stories, Shahid penned a note saying that according to him, life is not about where one reaches, but about who one becomes in the process. The 'Kabir Singh' actor wrote, "Keep it real you all. Look within that's where god sits. Waiting for you to know yourself. Life ain't about where you get to that's just for the fools it's who you become in the process that's the real game. When one defines progress with that as a yardstick life's a whole new game. I started playing this version not too long back. Still at the beginner level. Always a student. Keeps me young. #levelup." Shahid's post comes a day after actor Babil Khan, son of the late Irrfan Khan left everyone concerned with a video where he was seen having an emotional meltdown. The 'Logout' actor called Bollywood 'the most fake industry.' Babil even named some of his peers such as Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, and singer Arijit Singh in the clip, where he seemed extremely upset. However, later on, Babil dropped an Instagram post claiming that his video was extremely misinterpreted and that he was just showing his support to these actors. The 'Friday Night Plan' actor shared, "The video was extremely misinterpreted, I was trying to show support to @ananyapanday @shanayakapoor02 @gouravadarsh @arjunKapoor @ragahbajuval @arjitsingh. I genuinely don't have the energy to indulge more but I do this as responsibility for my peers that I truly admire." Babil's team also issued an official statement that read, "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 came from a place of genuine admiration, for their authenticity, passion, and efforts to restore credibility and heart in the industry." Babil's video has sparked an online discussion regarding the dark side of Bollywood, and the mental strength required to survive in this dynamic industry.

Hours after Babil Khan, actor and the son of late actor Irrfan Khan, broke down on Instagram stories and called Bollywood 'the fakest industry', his family and team have issued a statement clarifying that the video has been 'misinterpreted' and that the actor was having a difficult day. The family also said that Babil is safe and that he will be feeling better soon. '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,' read the statement. In the videos, the actor, visibly broken down, said, 'Bollywood is the most fakest, fakest, fakest industry that I've ever ever been a part of. But there are few people that want Bollywood to be better...I got to show you so much more, so much more, so much more. I have so much more to give you...' In another story poster shortly thereafter, Babil said, '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, so rude.' This prompted netizens and viewers to believe that Babil was mentioning celebrities who had somehow caused this emotional breakdown. However, the family's statement said that the video has been misinterpreted. '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 came 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,' it read. Just last week, Babil remembered his late father on his fifth death anniversary. 'With you, without you. Life goes on, With me, without me. Soon I'll be there. With you, not without you. And we will run together, and fly, Drink from waterfalls, pink not blue. I will hug you so tight, and I will cry, Then we'll laugh, just like we used to. I miss you,' he wrote. Babil made his debut as an actor in 2022's Qala and was then seen in 2023's Friday Night Plan, co-starring Juhi Chawla. However, it was the Prime Video series The Railway Men that gave Babil his big break. The actor was recently seen in ZEE5's thriller Logout.
