Talking to Zee News, Babil said that he is extremely excited about the project and added that the trolling Ranveer Singhis receiving for replacing Shah Rukh Khan is immaterial.He said that when you get a lot of hatred and you win through that, then the love is also at that level. He further said that the same happened toHeath Ledger also, so whatever trolling is being done, it’s neither right nor wrong. He added that he knows Ranveer will persevere and shine through.
Recently, Babil told PTI that an actor’s relevance and ability to obtain work today depends on social media and that he finds it challenging to walk the fine line between honesty and pretence. The young actor’s social media feed is full with fascinating tales about his late father Irrfan Khan and life lessons from his mother Sutapa, but Babil said he “struggles” to be honest in his expression on social networking sites.
He said, “I’m struggling so much because I was brought up in a household where I got a phone when I was 16 or 17-year-old. I have no relation with phones and social media but we have to do certain things now. To live in the discipline of an actor, you have to understand honesty with oneself and with life.”
He added, “It’s just that you know when you are pretending and lying and when you do so you feel a turmoil within yourself. That is a very spiritual and mental turmoil, and that is a tough thing to deal with, like ego management, the pleasing, you cannot say the truth to people because people might feel bad.”
Babil’s coming-of-age comedy drama, ‘Friday Night Plan’, released a few days back on OTT.
