Babil Khan, yeah, that’s the guy everyone’s talking about lately in Bollywood. If his last name rings a bell, it’s because his dad was none other than Irrfan Khan—the legend himself. And honestly, you can see a bit of that legacy in Babil, but he’s clearly doing his own thing. His mom, Sutapa Sikdar, also has some serious film creds—screenwriter, producer, the works. Babil grew up in Mumbai, went to Tridha School, and then packed his bags for London to study at the University of Westminster. Not your typical star-kid route, right? Instead of jumping straight into the spotlight, he started out behind the camera as a camera assistant in Qarib Qarib Singlle back in 2017—maybe just soaking it all in before stepping up front. His big acting break came with The Railway Men in 2023, a web series featuring a pretty killer cast—Divyendu Sharma, Kay Kay Menon, and Madhavan. Before that, he dipped his toes into acting with an English short film, The Mattress Man, in 2021. But let’s be real, it was Qala (2022) that really put him on the map. People couldn’t stop talking about his performance. The film itself? Pretty trippy—psychological drama, loaded with talent like Triptii Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee, and Varun Grover. Plus, Shoojit Sircar is steering his second movie, so you just know there’s something good cooking. Babil’s not just living up to his last name—he’s making it his own.
You know Babil Khan? Yeah, that’s Irrfan Khan’s kid—legendary shoes to fill, no pressure. Ever since his dad passed, people have had their eyes glued to this guy, waiting to see if he’s got that same magic. Honestly, Babil’s just out here trying to make his own path, but everyone keeps bringing up his dad. It’s wild. He’s dipped his toes into acting, and you can tell he’s got that raw, unfiltered energy—like he’s not just copying his father, but doing his own thing. It’s almost like he wears his legacy with pride, but refuses to let it box him in. People keep talking about his performances, and sure, it’s early days, but there’s a buzz. Bollywood’s got a new Khan in town, and while the comparisons are inevitable, Babil’s just getting started. Watch this space, because if he keeps going like this, he’ll be a headline all on his own.
