Babil Khan's Instagram Story

“Just wanted to share you all that I attended the Filmfare Awards yesterday and seven journalists asked me if I was high just because of the shape of my eyes. Well done guys. Great inquisitive research that you have conducted because I have been pure natural since I left university, really good job. You made me feel so nice by telling me that my natural face looked like I was high. Thank you so much for that. I will use that look and make millions in Bollywood,” his post read.

Meanwhile, Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020, due to a colon infection. He was last seen in Angrezi Medium, which performed okay-ish at the box office because of COVID-19. What's your take on Babil's Instagram post? Tell us in the comment section below. Stay tuned!
