The statement mentions that the video has been ‘widely misinterpreted’ and ‘taken out of context’. Babil’s mother Sutapa Sikdar shared the statement on her Instagram story.
The official statement shared by Babil’s team read, “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.”
“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,” clarified Babil’s team.
The statement further read, “We respectfully urge media publications and the public to consider the full context of his words rather than drawing conclusions from fragmented video clips. Team Babil Khan.”

There are so many more names. Bollywood is so f*****. Bollywood is so screwed.”
In another part of the video, he says, “Bollywood is the most fakest, fakest, fakest industry that I’ve ever ever been a part of.
