Babil Khan shares how Irrfan Khan was protective of him and did not want his son to face humiliation
Babil, who had a very cinematic upbringing, revealed in a recent interview with Instant Bollywood that there was a time when he was scared of his baba. He believed that he did not want to become an actor, and had many thoughts in his mind about whether he wanted to become an actor or not. Babil remembered the humiliation his baba had to undergo and shared:
“Unhone saha hai na humiliation. Jab woh aaye thei unke liye jagah nai thi industry mei. Unhone bahut mehnat se apni jagah banayi. Toh unko batana ki mujhko actor banna hai as a parent unke liye bahut difficult hoga na. Yaar kaise he will go through what I have been through? Parents always try to protect. Woh apne bacho ko hamesha un adversities se protect karne ki koshish karte hai jin adversities ne unhe banaya hai. Yeh sochke.”
