EXCLUSIVE: Aadhya Anand Defends Co-Star Babil Khan, Says "People Are Quick to Judge Vulnerability"
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.

Shikhar Dhawan announces debut autobiography
New Delhi [India], July 1 (ANI): Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has officially announced his much-anticipated debut autobiography, 'The One', through a heartfelt and introspective Instagram reel that has already resonated with fans across the country. Known for his flamboyant strokeplay, signature moustache twirl, and unwavering resilience, Dhawan is now ready to turn the spotlight inward, sharing his personal story beyond the boundaries and big scores. The announcement came with a deeply emotional message from the former Indian opener, 'Not every win makes it to the highlights. Not every loss shows on the scoreboard. 'The One' is the story of all the in-betweens. Of learning, unlearning, and showing up, every single one's from the heart.' 'The One' promises to be a raw and unfiltered journey through the many layers of Dhawan's life, from his childhood in Delhi, fuelled by dreams of wearing the Indian jersey, to becoming one of India's most consistent and celebrated openers in white-ball cricket. While cricketing accolades and iconic innings are expected, the book's real depth lies in the moments that went unnoticed, the battles with self-doubt, the emotional toll of injuries, personal reinventions, and silent comebacks. 'The One' captures the full spectrum of Dhawan's life, his career highs, personal trials, leadership roles, and the quieter, introspective struggles that shaped him. At its core, the book is about dreaming, falling, learning, and rising again and again. Dhawan announced retirement from all forms of Indian cricket. The former southpaw pulled the curtains down on his illustrious cricketing career with an emotional announcement on Instagram. Known for his effortless run-scoring, Dhawan was a standout performer for India, particularly in the ODI format. In 167 ODI matches, he amassed 6,793 runs at an impressive average of 44.1, including 17 centuries and 39 fifties. In Test cricket, where he formed memorable partnerships with Murali Vijay, Dhawan scored 2,315 runs in 34 matches at an average of 40.6, with seven centuries and five half-centuries. In T20Is, Dhawan made 68 appearances, scoring 1,759 runs at an average of 27.9, including 11 fifties. In the domestic circuit, he played 122 First-Class matches, accumulating 8,499 runs at an average of 44.26, with 25 centuries and 29 fifties. (ANI)

Her gorgeous mirror selfies and charismatic solo shots made it to the album as well. Lisa, however, sparked concern among fans after one video on the gallery showed her having an ear bleed.
