Babil Khan is riding high on the success of Yash Raj Films` first miniseries, The Railway Men. He plays the role of a former Union Carbide India Limited employee who works for the Indian Railways to earn a living. The young starlet is the son of Irrfan and Sutapa Sikdar. Just like his father, Babil has won hearts with the projects he has done till now. 

During the promotions, Babil revealed in an interview with Humans of Bombay that his mother, Sutapa, was Irrfan`s harshest critic. Sharing an anecdote, he said, "My mom is very critical. Like, when she saw papa’s Paan Singh Tomar, she had 17 pages of criticism. So, I can’t stay in the room where mom is watching my film." When Babil was asked about Sutapa`s reaction to his debut film, Qala, the actor replied, "She said, ‘You did good for the first time.’ That’s all she said."
