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.

Govinda's Son Yashvardhan Ahuja's Debut Delayed As Babil Khan Quits Baby Remake?
Last Updated: Govinda's son Yashvardhan Ahuja was set to debut in the Hindi remake of Telugu film Baby, directed by Sai Rajesh. The project stalled after Babil Khan exited. Yashvardhan Ahuja, son of legendary actor Govinda, was gearing up to kick off his Bollywood journey with the Hindi adaptation of the Telugu hit Baby. The film, to be helmed by original director Sai Rajesh, had also roped in late Irrfan Khan's son Babil Khan for a key role. But things soon took a messy turn. Reports suggest Babil walked out of the project after a clash with Rajesh, who publicly criticised the young actor's emotional outburst on social media. He allegedly insisted on a public apology. Now, with Babil's exit, Yashvardhan's much-awaited Bollywood debut stands uncertain. As per a report by Peeping Moon, the Hindi remake of Baby has been put on pause as the producers actively scouting for a new actor to step into the role originally meant for Babil Khan. 'The makers spent nearly six months finalising the female lead, a debutante, and now face the daunting task of recasting the male lead. It's going to take a lot of time. As of now, the production is on hold, with no confirmed timeline for resuming," shared the source. The Hindi remake of Baby is set to be produced by Madhu Mantena in collaboration with Allu Aravind's Geetha Arts and the original Telugu film's producer, Sreenivasa Kumar Naidu. Babil Khan was reportedly chosen to play the role originally essayed by Anand Deverakonda, while Yashvardhan Ahuja was lined up to portray the character played by Viraj Ashwin in the Telugu version. The makers have yet to officially confirm the film's cast and release date. Last month, Babil Khan took to his Instagram account and announced that he is opting out of Sai Rajesh's film. 'With a lot of grit, passion, and mutual respect, Sai Rajesh sir and I both got along on this journey of creating magic together. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances things didn't go ahead as everyone had planned. Since I will be taking some time off currently, I wish the best to Sai Rajesh sir and the film team on their future journey. I know there is immense love between us, and we will meet soon in the future and create magic," he wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Babil (@babil.i.k) Meanwhile, Sai Rajesh shared a note on Instagram that read, 'Babil is one of the most talented and hardworking actors I have met in my life. However I have to accept this unfortunate reality of the situation. After spending time with Babil while prepping, I was very happy to be working with such a talented actor… I will still always cherish the experience of seeing him perform in front of me… I will miss my Hero! I respect his decision of self care first, and wish him all the best and send him all the love in the future! I know we both will create that magic together for sure." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sai Rajesh (@sairazesh) For those who've come in late, a video of Babil Khan having an emotional breakdown went viral on social media recently, where he mentioned actors like Ananya Panday, Adarsh Gourav, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and others. Shortly after, Babil's team posted a clarification, saying he was genuinely appreciating these actors' contributions to Bollywood. However, director Sai Rajesh expressed his disappointment, criticising Babil's team for highlighting only a select few and questioning if the others who supported him all along were being ignored. Babil reacted to his post, and wrote that he gave 2 years of his life to Rajesh and underwent 'complete physical atrocity' so he could do justice to his character. Babil wrote, 'You really broke my heart. After everything I've given to you. 2 years of my life, complete physical atrocity to my body just so I can do justice to his character, I gave him my soul, rejected everything that came in my way for 2 years, anything and everything he needed, for 500 days of my life." He further added, 'not to mention the pain and the suffering I put in my soul, lived in filth just to make sure sir @sairazesh is happy with the character. It's okay now..I'll let my work speak. Goodbye. Man I had bugs in my beard because he needed that in the character. I gave him my laughter while I held back my tears. I slit my fu**ing wrist for him." The comments, as well as Sai Rajesh's post have now been deleted. First Published:
