Babil, who is the son of late actor Irrfan Khan, put out an emotional poem on social media to reveal his battle with depression.

Following the controversy, Babil deleted his social media accounts, but later reactivated them. He also reportedly dropped out of a project to take some time off.

Posting pictures of himself in a red sweater, the poem in the caption to his Instagram post read, “Didnโt mean to eavesdrop, this glass house has lean walls. I wore my heart on my sleeve; now I have blood-soaked t-shirts. I needed time to heal. My demons left me with deep cuts, insomnia, and panic had me making wired confessions, I was crying out for help, I couldnโt stifle my expression. The toll was heavy on my health, my soul was tired of repression, โyou were fighting with your girl while I was fighting my depressionโฆwait..โ

Reacting to Babil’s post, actor Vijay Varma commented, โBabil, we got your back.โ Aparshakti Khurana also dropped a heart emoji and Gulshan Devaiah wrote, โLook whoโs here” to welcome the actor back to social media.
