Babil’s close friend Raghav Juyal stood by him, showing support by sharing Team Babil’s official statement on his Instagram feed. Alongside the repost, Raghav voiced his solidarity with the actor, writing: “BABIL is my family, and I am always with him no matter what.”

In a conversation with The Times of India, Raghav Juyal addressed the incident involving Babil, noting that Babil has been navigating a difficult period. Raghav shared his initial confusion over being called “rude,” only to later understand that it may have stemmed from a simple miscommunication. Expressing concern, the Kill actor revealed that he also reached out to Babil’s mother, Sutapa Sikdar, to discuss the matter further. He stated:

“He is obviously very disturbed… I spoke to his mother, Sutapa ma’am, and she says he is going through an anxiety attack… He needs to rest, he needs to understand we are all there for him… Babil meant to say I and some others were among those who had been supportive, while some others had been rude. It came out all mixed up.”

Babil Khan’s Team Responds to the Incident

On the morning of Sunday, May 4, 2025, multiple video clips surfaced online showing Babil in tears as he voiced his disillusionment with the film industry, mentioning names such as Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Arjun Kapoor, and others. The emotional footage quickly fueled widespread speculation, with many interpreting his comments as a pointed criticism of these celebrities.

In an official statement, they explained that the actor was having a difficult day and that the video was misinterpreted. They emphasized that Babil was sincerely appreciating his peers for their dedication and efforts to restore authenticity in cinema. However, his remarks were taken out of context and exaggerated, leading to the mistaken impression that he was criticizing them.
