Babil Khan reacts after viral breakdown video, says Bollywood comments were misread

“I don’t have the energy to explain myself again and again,” he wrote, “but I owed it to the people I admire—actors like Ananya, Shanaya, Siddhant, Raghav, Arjun, Adarsh, and Arijit.” He added that the video came from a place of emotional exhaustion and a deep desire for the film industry to be more authentic and kind.
Ananya Panday showed her support publicly, and Siddhant Chaturvedi reposted a clip of Babil saying, “Mujhe itihaas likhna hai, kitaab nahi”—meaning, “I want to create history, not just write about it.”

Babil’s family also released a statement urging people not to twist his words. “He was simply highlighting the few people he truly respects in the business. Like anyone, Babil is allowed to have bad days.”
The video also revealed Babil’s sense of isolation, with him stating in a past interview that he has no real friends in the industry and prefers solitude. Experts say that being in a high-pressure, often performative environment without emotional safety can take a toll, especially on sensitive, creative minds.

Amid this storm, Babil shared a touching scene of his late father, Irrfan Khan, crying in a film, likely reflecting how deeply he misses him during this difficult time.
Ultimately, this wasn’t about drama. It was about a young actor trying to find his footing in a space that often feels cold and speaking up for those who are trying to bring warmth back.
Will Mona Patel steal the spotlight again at Met Gala 2025 after her iconic butterfly moment?
But Mona’s influence goes beyond boardrooms. She founded Couture For Cause, a non-profit that auctions luxury fashion pieces to fund education and healthcare for girls worldwide. Over 4,000 lives have been touched by her efforts so far.
Her Met Gala debut in 2024 was anything but ordinary. Styled by celebrity stylist Law Roach, Patel wore a custom Iris van Herpen gown that turned heads. The design featured mechanical butterflies crafted in collaboration with artist Casey Curran, with motion-triggered wings that moved as she walked. Patel even had a hand in designing these details herself, presenting her vision on the global stage.
The look perfectly matched the Gala’s theme, The Garden of Time, and placed her among the best-dressed guests of the night. Her appearance was so impactful that she now proudly calls herself the “Mystery Guest #MET2024” on Instagram.

And yes, she’s set to return in 2025. A recent Instagram story confirmed her invitation, captioned simply: “Can’t wait.”
This year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, promises a whole new level of creative expression. While Mona’s outfit remains under wraps, given her meticulous approach, it’s safe to expect another head-turning look.
From Gujarat to the Met Gala, Mona Patel’s journey is about ambition, impact, and making moments count. Whether she’s building companies or crafting couture statements, she’s not here to blend in. She’s here to leave a mark.
