Last year, actor Babil Khan became the target of trolls for an unusual reason - he was being 'too' nice. The actor appeared at a red carpet event in May 2024, where he realised he had photobombed another guest, and he apologised. But his supposedly 'over-the-top' apology got him some backlash online.
In conversation with HT, the actor addressed the bizarre turn of events.

I don't mind the funny memes.
I laugh at them. Some of them are really creative. But the mean comments who think they are funny but are not, I feel like asking them, 'Who hurt you?'.
I can sit and chat with them to figure out if there is some hurt you have that you are projecting on me." However, Babil says he moved past that in time as he didn't want to spend energy on the episode. "You move on from that.
You feel why should I value their opinion so much," he explains. Babil says he won't stop being expressive Babil adds that he is expressive in his words and actions, and now, even though his actions are scrutinised, he doesn't feel the need to change. He explains, "This is how I am.
Main dil khol ke bolta hoon (I am very free to express). I care about how I express myself. Darr bhi lagta hai aur bura bhi lagta hai (I feel scared and sometimes feel bad too).
It's scary but I take the risk to be myself. But I will lose my individuality if I stop being myself because of that fear. Then who am I?" Babil will soon star in tech thriller Logout.
The film also features Rasika Dugal, Nimisha Nair, and Gandharv Dewan in pivotal roles. Having already made waves on the international festival circuit, the Amit Golani film releases on Zee5 on April 18..
