Babil Khan, son of late Irrfan Khan opens up on his privileges; says, “To use privilege as a short cut to success is not our way, but to utilise privilege to grow and evolve is essential”

Irrfan Khan’s son Babil Khan talks about his privileges, and how he lets life plan for him. He strongly believes that life will take care of the rest if one has lofty goals and puts a lot of effort into whatever it is that fires those desires.

Babil Khan, son of late Irrfan Khan opens up on his privileges; says, “To use privilege as a short cut to success is not our way, but to utilise privilege to grow and evolve is essential”

The late actor Irrfan’s son Babil Khan was introduced by a major studio, and he did not choose the lead character in his debut movie, Qala. That was because he is attempting to find his way in the industry away from his perks. Babil told Hindustan Times, “I am not trying to battle any questions that come with privilege. I have experienced privilege in my life, why must I hide from that truth? Instead, I try to stay true to my sense of morality and the values of my upbringing in the use of that privilege.”

He further added, “To use privilege as a short cut to success is not our way, but to utilise privilege to grow and evolve is essential. This notion arises within me from the understanding that life gives you privilege as an opportunity and the way you put that opportunity into effect is the test of your character. For instance, instead of using my privilege to fetch me work, I utilise the privilege of baba’s connections through being around and absorbing from people that are immersed in and masters of the craft; then I apply the knowledge gained from those experiences in my auditions and my work. I don’t think the ethical questions regarding privilege are about whether or not you have privilege but rather about how you use it.”

Babil further spoke about how life already makes plans for itself. He said, “I am an explorer and I want to explore. What I desire today is probably different from what I might desire tomorrow so why must I burden myself and limit my experience with something as unreliable as a plan? One thing I know about life is that it hates plans, or at least the plans we make for ourselves, perhaps because it has already made a plan for you so it will kick your self-made plan in the face when it wants to.”

According to Babil, if one has huge aspirations and works hard at the craft that fuels those dreams, life will take care of the rest, especially the planning. “I am not here to plan for myself, I am here to enjoy the experience of life’s plan for me. There is no plan, there is an eventual goal which is of internal evolution and that’s it,” he concluded.

On the work front, Babil Khan made his debut in Anvita Dutt’s Qala, which also starred Triptii Dimri. He will next be seen in the web series, The Railway Men based on the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. He is also teaming up with Shoojit Sircar and producer Ronnie Lahiri for their next project.
