A heated exchange erupted between actor Babil Khan and filmmaker Sai Rajesh after Babil's emotional Instagram videos sparked controversy. Babil, son of late actor Irrfan Khan, had posted tearful videos in which he named several actors, later clarifying that his words were misinterpreted as criticism rather than admiration.

Sai Rajesh, reportedly working with Babil on the remake of Baby, accused Babil of disrespecting those who supported him behind the scenes and demanded a public apology. In a string of now-deleted comments, Babil expressed heartbreak, recounting the physical and emotional toll he endured for two years to do justice to his role in Sai's film.

He claimed he sacrificed personal comfort, even living in dire conditions, for his character. Both later deleted their posts. Babil's team issued a statement clarifying the videos were made on a difficult day and meant to appreciate fellow artists. The incident highlights the pressures young actors face in Bollywood.
