THE CLASS OF 2023

Babil Khan

24-year-old Babil has inherent star power, owning the room with his easy charm and generous smile. Watch out, this boy is on his way to mega stardom!

By Nandini Bhalla

Nandini Bhalla: At the shoot, we noticed an endearing quality about you...almost a childlike innocence...

Babil Khan: “I love being a baby. And I think no matter how old you get, you should find a way to keep your inner child alive, because it enables you to feel and view the world in a better way.”

NB: And you share such an uncanny resemblance with your father [Irrfan Khan]. Do you hear that a lot, and how does it make you feel?

BK: “I really enjoy it and I am pretty sure I will continue enjoying it because my father is remembered with so much love and kindness... if, through me, people can feel some kind of joy, that’s really awesome for me...that’s really cool for me. I love looking like my father.”

NB: You exude such a wonderful, joyous energy. Do you work on that in a conscious way?
