In an interview with News 18, Irrfan Khan’s son Babil Khan shared that the ‘first wave of validation’ came when everyone started following him on social media and gave me a lot of attention after the late actor’s death. He shared that the love was very addictive. Babil added that he always dreamt of being loved since his childhood. He added, “It all happened so suddenly and I didn’t realise that I was getting addicted to it." 

The Logout actor added that that time he felt he was ‘gently and kindly’ moving towards attention. However, he didn’t realize he was being dependent on validation and opinion to know his self-worth. He shared that as time progressed life taught him perfect lessons.

Talking about social media, he shared he is always ‘scared’ to post anything there. He added, “I do feel the fear of the ‘what ifs’, the constant barrage of people’s opinions and getting trolled. It’s scary but just because it’s scary, it doesn’t mean that I won’t do it. I know that I’ve to take that step into the darkness and the unknown.”
