What Did Babil Say in the Viral Clip?
In the video, Babil can be heard saying, “Bollywood is very bad. Bollywood is very possible,”—a line that has left many confused but curious. He didn’t stop there. Babil named several well-known celebrities, including:
- Ananya Panday
- Arjun Kapoor
- Shanaya Kapoor
- Siddhant Chaturvedi
- Raghav Juyal
- Adarsh Gourav
- Singer Arijit Singh
He suggested that these celebrities represent some of the problems within the film industry, calling Bollywood “nonsense” and “rude.”
Is the Video Real or Part of a Bigger Plan?
After going viral, the video disappeared from official platforms, including Babil’s Instagram. This raised doubts among fans. Some believe the video was deleted to avoid controversy, while others think it might have been leaked or part of a planned stunt.
Several users are also questioning whether the video is connected to Babil’s latest film. Could it be part of a marketing campaign to promote his new movie?
Link to His New Film Logout
Many believe that the viral video might be a publicity strategy to bring attention to Babil’s new release, Logout, a thriller film that premiered on ZEE5 on April 18, 2025.
Directed by Amit Golani, the film stars Babil Khan alongside Rasika Dugal, Gandharv Dewan, Nimisha Nair, and Samvedna Suwalka. The movie, which runs for 1 hour and 48 minutes, has already received a 7.2 rating on IMDb. The emotional intensity of the viral video has made many viewers curious about the film’s content and theme.
Fans Worried About Babil’s Mental State
Whether the video was real or staged, fans are deeply concerned. Many are wondering if Babil is going through emotional stress or struggling with mental health. His vulnerability in the clip touched hearts and reminded many of the loneliness that comes with fame and personal loss.
At the same time, others argue that if it was part of a movie promotion, it was a risky move, as it involved real emotions and potentially damaged the image of other celebrities.
The Real Message Behind the Tears?
Whether intentional or not, Babil Khan’s video has opened up serious conversations—about the emotional pressure young actors face, the toxic side of the film industry, and the need for mental health awareness.
The truth behind the video may remain unclear for now. But one thing is certain—Babil Khan has once again shown that he’s not afraid to speak from the heart, even if it shakes up the industry.
