"Actor Amit Sial Discusses Babil Khan's Emotional Turmoil: Life Offers Peaks and Valleys"
Rewritten Article:
Mumbai: Actor Amit Sial, known for his role in "Raid 2," has stood by Babil Khan following the young actor's emotional outburst in the public eye. In a conversation, Sial acknowledged the emotional rollercoaster artists often face in the industry.
When asked about actors airing their grievances on social media and whether they should keep a lid on it to protect their public image, Sial shared that while advice from the late Irrfan Khan, Babil's father, had once guided him, this situation seems deeply personal.
He told IANS, "Irrfan bhai once offered me some wise words, though they were on a different matter. Regarding Babil's situation - it's a personal matter. He shared a video in a moment of emotional drama. I don't think I should comment on that."
Sial continued: "His family and he are handling it already. We all go through ups and downs in life. He chose to share it on a public platform, allowing others to react. Maybe that was a mistake. But he didn't attack anyone - he just poured out his feelings. It's unfair to judge or mock someone during such times. Everyone deserves privacy for their personal life."
On Babil Khan's claim that Bollywood is fake, the actor mentioned that he doesn't believe the "Qala" actor intended to indict the entire industry.
"If so many people are working here, including you and me: Maybe it came from a place of frustration. Perhaps I referred to a few individuals. I don't think Babil meant to blame the whole industry. He was distraught - maybe unaware of exactly what he was saying. There's no need to overreact."
