Babil Khan turned a year older today. There is a charm in him that was present even in his father, the late Irrfan Khan. As the young actor makes his way into films, here are a few things that make him one of the newbies to watch out for.
Babil Khan has been making waves ever since he delivered a stellar performance in Anvita Dutt’s ‘Qala’. He was praised for portraying the subtle and assured Jagat in the film. Impressively, the actor was feted with multiple honours at various ceremonies for the same. A star artist in the making, Babil looks forward to keep surprising the audiences with exciting work that comes his way.
On the occasion of his birthday today, we pen down a few reasons that make him one of the most promising actors to watch out for. Take a look:
It’s been pouring rave reviews soon after Babil Khan’s ‘Qala’ got released last year. The actor impressively captivated the critics with his raw, resonant performance as Jagan in the film. He has been lauded for his emotive power, making him a significant discovery of the year. Many in the industry have also found shades of his great father in him, owing to his freshness and originality.
Extremely close to his parents since childhood, Babil Khan grew up in a creative and artistic environment. Intending to be authentic at his core, the actor believes in giving it all to his character. The actor has been working on creating an identity of his own with quirky sartorial choices and humble behaviour towards the masses. Babil, we hear, finds a confidante in his mother, Sutapa Sikdar, who is a screenwriter, producer, and dialogue writer.
Apart from being a convincing actor, Babil is also known for his generosity and polite behaviour. On many occurrences, he has been spotted interacting with the masses, putting forward his best behaviour. Khan’s humble and light-hearted nature has already made him a people’s favourite- be it his fans, paps or anyone he comes across in his everyday life.
Besides, the weight of a rich legacy, Khan has played it cool and never let any added pressure affect his screen presence. Having been inspired by his later father Irrfan Khan’s work, Babil is said to have immense calibre.
Just like his late father and cinema legend Irrfan Khan, Babil too is committed to his craft. As an actor in his early 20s, Babil has mentioned that he doesn’t wish to “limit” himself to a certain type of role. Keeping work as his priority, this year the actor will have a working birthday as he’s currently busy shooting for his unannounced next.
Here’s wishing Babil Khan a very happy birthday and years of success ahead.
