Babil Khan`s emotional video calling Bollywood “rude” went viral. He later clarified it was misinterpreted and meant as support. Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi backed him, while filmmaker Sai Razesh accused him of disrespect. Babil responded, highlighting his personal sacrifices.

Ananya Panday, in a recent chat with Mid-day on `Sit With Hitlist,` opened up about her media training. She revealed that while Karan Johar, who launched her career with `The Student Of The Year 2,` didn’t provide much formal training, his only advice was to "be herself." She noted that today’s new generation of actors is much more media-savvy and better trained to handle public attention. On her relationship with `Gehraiyaan` co-star Siddhant Chaturvedi, when the latter took a jibe at her with his nepotism comment in an interview panel back in 2019, Ananya joked that he “probably wrote his comeback in a book and came prepared,” but stressed there’s no bad blood between them, highlighting their friendly rapport despite what the media portrayed of the fiasco.
