Talking about his bond with the filmmaker, Babil added, "He's family. I don't know how to professionally speak about him. He's family more than the work. The support behind the work, the mentorship, that's more important. That has human value to it. Mai jab unke saath kaam karunga toh mai apko bataunga experience kaisa raha but more than the work. It's the man he is and the way he guides me through this chaos. That is more valuable to me."

In a recent interview with Film Companion, Babil was asked if comparisons with his father obstructed his acting debut or not. He said, “I used to fear his greatness. As a 16-year-old, when you start realizing you want to do something with your life and your father is already a larger-than-life figure… That’s why it took me so long to confront my own passion, my own desire.”

Earlier in an interview with BBC Asia Network, Babil Khan opened up about how he gives auditions to get work and makes sure he is not using his privilege. He said, “I have reflected upon how I deal with my privilege. I give auditions, I don’t use the privilege to get jobs, to get work.”

Meanwhile, after Qala, Babil will be seen sharing screen space with Juhi Chawla in Friday Night Plan.
