EXCLUSIVE: Aadhya Anand Defends Co-Star Babil Khan, Says "People Are Quick to Judge Vulnerability"
In an era where mental health awareness is finally gaining mainstream traction, actor Aadhya Anand believes we still have a long way to go when it comes to truly accepting emotional openness; especially on social media. In an exclusive conversation with The Hans India, Aadhya opened up about her Friday Night Plan co-star Babil Khan, known not just for his on-screen talent but also for his candid emotional posts that often reveal his vulnerabilities. When asked whether society is still quick to judge those who express their feelings publicly, even while claiming to support mental health, Aadhya offered a heartfelt response. 'I feel people are very quick to judge,' she said. 'In fact, when it comes to Babil, I've seen a couple of comments saying he's over-acting or doing too much. But people don't know who he really is because when he was with me, and this is even before the paparazzi sightings, he was exactly like that. Overgiving, warm, sweet and that kind of quality is so rare. You don't find that in every one.' Aadhya went on to highlight how social media often fails to capture a person's real essence, and instead, turns emotional transparency into a target for criticism. 'People started giving him backlash that he really didn't deserve. No one really knows what's going on inside someone, or who they really are from inside. It becomes very easy to become the victim of scrutinization,' she added. Her words offer a much-needed reminder about empathy in the digital age, particularly for public figures who choose to share their inner world in an effort to normalize honest conversations around mental health. For the unversed, Babil Khan, son of the late actor Irrfan Khan, had recently faced media scrutiny following a viral video where he appeared to call out Bollywood celebrities. The video, which was later deleted and followed by the deactivation of his Instagram account. He later returned to social media and clarified that his video was misinterpreted and slammed netizens for spreading the false narrative. He further expressed that he was having a bad day.

Whether it's David unearthing a two-pronged carrot on their Cotswolds estate or Victoria capturing the family's pancake party in Holland Park, each Instagram upload offers a fresh perspective on how the power couple balances everyday joys with high-end design. Their portfolio spans centuries-old barns, sculptural penthouses, and sun-soaked villas. Today, we explore three of their most Instagrammed homes and uncover the stories behind each gilded wall. Cotswolds countryside retreat For 12 million euros, the Beckhams transformed a 1720 barn into a fairytale escape, complete with a bespoke treehouse, spa, and private football pitch, as detailed by House & Garden. In late April 2025, David's 'Radish Alert' post on Instagram revealed his garden within the estate, where he harvested some radishes for dinner. On June 21, Victoria also filmed David excitedly harvesting carrots from his garden for the first time, though it was 'not quite what he was hoping for.' As he pulled out the double-ended carrot in the clip, the duo erupted in giggles, proving that laughter grows best in home soil. Holland Park heritage mansion As per Elle Décor, their 49.2 million euro Holland Park residence underwent three years of renovations under Rose Uniacke. This yielded a Grade II-listed masterpiece with a walk-in wardrobe fit for a fashion icon and his family. On March 4, 2025, David flipped pancakes in the vast open kitchen, as Harper teased her father with 'You ruin my pancake?' The quip was met with a lighthearted 'Ruined it? That's perfect!' as he plated the dish. Miami Modern penthouse As co-owner of Inter Miami CF, David's 2020 acquisition of a 24 million USD penthouse in Zaha Hadid's One Hundred Museum brought the family to Florida. In a December 2024 clip, Santa-hatted Beckham ceremoniously carved a Christmas turkey, captioning it 'Traditional cutting of the turkey that mum's been cooking all day,' merging the festive tradition with skyline views. Meanwhile, Cruz's December 24 veranda snapshot truly captured the estate's modern and sunny charm, per his Instagram feed. The Beckham Empire's other houses Including these three jewels, the Beckhams have inhabited a total of 11 properties, from their first Cheshire flat and the legendary 'Beckingham Palace' to a Dubai villa on Palm Jumeirah, a French Riviera mansion, a Spanish La Moraleja sanctuary, a Beverly Hills Italianate estate, and an apartment in the Burj Khalifa. Each purchase appears to chart a chapter of the family's extraordinary journey together.
