Babil Khan, son of Irrfan Khan, once shared a heartwarming memory from his childhood involving the superstar . Known for his impressive debut in Anvitaa Dutt’s psychological drama ‘Qala’ last year, Babil has been carving a niche for himself in the film industry with his nuanced performances.

In an interview, the 25-year-old actor reflected on his early experiences on film sets, particularly recalling his time on the sets of ‘Billu’ where his father, the late Irrfan Khan, was working. Babil recounted a memorable encounter with Shah Rukh Khan, a moment that has remained etched in his memory.

Babil fondly reminisced about his encounter with Shah Rukh Khan during the filming of ‘Billu Barber.’ Overflowing with excitement as a child, Babil impulsively leaped onto Shah Rukh Khan's leg and held on tightly. Despite the star's grand entrance, arriving in a Bentley with crowds from nearby villages following him, the interaction between Babil and Shah Rukh Khan remained charmingly innocent and genuine.

Despite being the son of a renowned actor, Babil keeps a low profile and is rarely spotted at Bollywood gatherings. He attributes this to his social anxiety and preference for solitude. “I don't consider myself a star kid... I prefer solitude. I focus on self-improvement,” he clarified.
