Siddhant Chaturvedi took to social media to issue a heartfelt message, addressing the online hate and gossip about Babil. He wrote, “I usually never engage in sh*t written about me and my colleagues, but this one's personal. So to all the Redditors, Gossip columns, and media portals of the internet. Stop. We love to hate and hate to love, is this what we've come to? Stop looking for Drama here. All of us are working hard to bring drama to you on your screens. Shayad wahan thodi kami reh gai hogi ki aap hamari neeji zindagi mein wo dhoondhne lage ho? Koshish jaari hai hamari taraf se, Aur aap bhi Koshish karein ki koi bhi judgment dene se pehle ek baar soch lein (Maybe there was a little shortcoming on our part that made you start searching for it in our personal lives? We're still trying from our side, and we hope you also try to think once before passing any judgment). Peace out (sic).”
Meanwhile, Raghav Juyal offered more personal support, calling Babil "family" and extending his solidarity. His words were clear in emphasizing the importance of standing by each other, particularly in tough times.
Babil Khan’s team also addressed the emotional videos, issuing a statement to clarify the context. The statement assured the public that Babil is safe and will recover soon. It further explained that Babil’s emotional outburst came from a place of genuine reflection on his own struggles in the industry. Babil was visibly upset in the videos, speaking about his feelings of alienation within the film industry. He also expressed admiration for several of his peers, including Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, Arjun Kapoor, and Arijit Singh, for their authenticity and passion in contributing meaningfully to Indian cinema.
The public and personal support from his colleagues highlights the importance of mental health awareness and compassion, as Babil navigates his emotional journey in the industry.
