Actor Babil Khan, who proved his acting prowess in projects like Qala and The Railway is on the verge of depression as stated by his mother Sutapa Sikdar. Reason? Constant comparisons with his later father and the prolific actor Irrfan Khan. Sutapa pleaded for her son to be left alone and likened his journey to Abhishek Bachchan. 

Babil Khan is almost in depression

Sutapa Sikdar was in Lucknow for an event where she spoke about her son Babil Khan being under pressure, which has affected his mental health severely. She said, “There’s a lot of pressure on Babil, and I am not okay with it. This pressure should not be there, Irrfan never had that pressure and when you don’t put any pressure on yourself, your individuality comes out. It’s not only about work but also about losing the father figure, he is almost in depression! Top that with this stress and compression all the time. As a mother, I feel, ‘Please leave my child alone`. Also, he is very vulnerable and does not have a fighter`s spirit! His father was very strong and so am I, but genetically it must have come from somewhere.”
