Babil Khan reacts to absence from parties, talks about social anxiety: ‘I like to stay alone’

Babil Khan recently opened up on not making appearances at parties and dealing with social anxiety.

Babil Khan, known for being honest and upfront, recently opened up about his childhood memories. Babil, who was lauded for his acting prowess in the Netflix series The Railway Men, poured his heart out in an interaction with MensXP. He also reflected on his late father, Irrfan Khan. The actor made his Bollywood debut with Qala alongside Tripti Dimri.

The actor, when asked about his absence from parties, said, “Because I am not a star kid. Baba was not a contemporary star from any angle. But now he has become because of all the chatter. He is different. You can’t put him in a box. I go to parties sometimes. I have social anxiety, and that is not the only reason. I like to stay alone. I like to work on who I am.”

Babil also revealed that Irrfan's huge fan following would often scare him. The actor said, “So when a bodyguard comes and takes him away because the crowd is rushing to him and that hand gets pulled away, for the child, I think it’s very traumatic. I had distance from my father, physical distance because he was shooting a lot, but he was very affectionate towards me when he was there.”
