Actor Babil Khan, the talented son of the late screen legend Irrfan Khan, has opened up about his personal battle with depression through a poignant poem shared on social media. The emotional post, featuring the actor in a red sweater, lays bare his struggle with mental health issues.

Babil, who made his cinematic debut in the 2022 film 'Qala', became the center of attention in May when he posted a tearful video criticizing the film industry as 'fake'. The video was later removed, and Babil temporarily disappeared from social media.

In response to Babil's heartfelt poem, actors Vijay Varma, Aparshakti Khurana, and Gulshan Devaiah voiced their support, welcoming Babil back to the online community with warmth and encouragement.
