Babil Khan Shares Cryptic Poem On Instagram, Fans Ask ‘Are You Okay?’

Babil Khan, the son of legendary actor Irrfan Khan, is just two films and one web series old. Just like his late father, the 26-year-old is already proving his mettle in the entertainment world. His performances in Netflix’s Friday Night Plan, Qala, and The Railway Men were highly appreciated by the masses and critics alike. But besides his acting flair, Babil Khan is also quite adept in poetry. Putting his thoughts on paper, the young actor often shares glimpses of his verses on social media. Recently, he offered his fans a cryptic poem on Instagram, which caught the attention of many.

Babil Khan shared a series of selfies on Instagram where he was seen wearing a black shirt and sitting inside a car. A couple of pictures also featured an anonymous woman inside the vehicle, whose identity was not revealed by the actor. Babil’s poem read, “Mystery Girl, my condition burned, I sizzled unturned, yet fizzled and turned. So I put my pain in a pill when you popped it. Felt it melt in your soul as it dissolved in. The rivers of your blood runnin’ across from the shivers of my wrist I had forgotten.”

“The Listerine strips, the lips I kissed, the songs you mixed; onto CD discs. I’ll walk with you in the winds we’ve learned. The current sways, blah days, violent waves, invalid concerns. I will shiver, as I settle, within the truth of who I am and not who I ought to be,” Babil Khan concluded.

Social media users rushed to react to the soul-touching poetry. Many were even concerned about the actor’s well-being. “Social media might not be the best place to express, but your expression is everything. So raw so beautiful!” praised one individual. “Take care of yourself Babil. You will be fine soon whatever you are struggling with,” prayed another. “Are you okay? Time shall pass and good times will come,” asserted a third Instagrammer. “Being able to fully immerse yourself in these emotions is a superpower,” lauded a person.

On the work front, Babil Khan has joined hands with director Soojit Sircar for the upcoming film The Umesh Chronicles, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan.
