MUMBAI: Nepotism in Bollywood has always been a hot topic of discussion which has left the nation brimming with opinion.  Irrfan Khan’s elder son Babil Khan, who is foraying into acting with Anvita Dutt’s Qala with Triptii Dimri in the lead recently admitted that Nepotism is real and he could bag the role in Qala because of his lineage.

Babil stated that he is grateful for all the opportunities coming his way which wouldn’t have been there without the privilege and that he would have been a rank outsider. “Pressure in itself is a privilege. The expectations from me are markers of my privilege. Either you can beat yourself up and feel guilty about it or accept it with humility and harness it into your work. I’ve ­chosen the latter. I’m grateful for the opportunities that I know others won’t get as easily as I have. If I can’t use my privilege and justify it through my craft, it’d be such a waste,” the young actor emphasised.

He also emphasised that he understands the fact that he will always be compared with his father Irrfan. In fact, the young actor also recalled how his father had reacted to his acting ambitions by quoting Irrfan’s words, “You’re screwed. I’m really good at what I do. You’ll have to be very, very good at this.”

Well, given the work Irrfan has left, it will be interesting to see if Babil will be able to take the legacy forward.
