In a recent interview with Filmfare, Babil Khan was asked about his dad Irrfan Khan’s royal heritage. In response, he joked that he is a prince. When asked if he had any memories related to his ancestral place, Babil shared that his grandfather had given away everything and ‘detached’ himself.

The Logout actor stated that his father had dropped the Khan surname and he planned to do the same in the future. Sharing the reason, Babil said, “The lineage makes you a part of this conformity. It doesn't let you get to your individuality.”

Babil added that there was ‘no moral agenda’ behind the decision. “To let your individuality shine, you have to let go of your lineage,” he stated.

Babil Khan often shares heartwarming memories with Irrfan Khan on social media and pens sweet notes about their bond. Last year, he shared his learnings from the Haider actor. Babil wrote, “You taught me to be a warrior, but engage with love and kindness. You taught me of hope and you taught me to fight for the people. You do not have fans, you have a family, and I promise you baba I will fight for our people and our family till you call upon me.”
