Raghav Juyal says him and Siddhant Chaturvedi discussed Babil Khan’s video: ‘There’s been a mix-up’

Bollywood actor Babil Khan recently left many concerned after an emotional video of him, which he later deleted, surfaced on the internet. In the video, he expressed feelings of alienation within the industry and appeared to criticise actors such as Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and others. Among the names mentioned was Raghav Juyal, who has now responded in an interview with Subhash K Jha.

Raghav Juyal talked about Babil Khan's video

Raghav talked about Babil naming him, Siddhant and other actors in his emotional video and said, “Siddhant Chaturvedi, whom Babil also named, called me and said there had been a mix-up. Babil meant to say that I and some others had been supportive, while some had been rude. It came out all mixed up. We are all with Babil.”

Raghav also re-shared the statement of Babil's team on Instagram and wrote, "Babil is my family and I am always with him no matter what.”

What Babil Khan said

In the now-deleted video, Babil was seen teary-eyed and said, “Bollywood is so f****d. Bollywood is so, so rude.” He continued: “What I mean to say is that I just want you guys to know there are people like Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Arjun Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav and even... Arijit Singh? There are so, so many more names.”

Soon after the video began making the rounds on social media, Babil’s mother shared a statement on Instagram, which read: “Over the past few years, Babil Khan has earned immense love and appreciation for his work, as well as for his openness about his mental health journey. Like anyone else, Babil is allowed to have difficult days, and this was one of them. We want to reassure all his well-wishers that he is safe and will be feeling better soon. That said, a video of Babil has been widely misinterpreted and taken out of context.”

She further clarified that Babil’s mention of his peers was, in fact, his way of acknowledging their meaningful contributions to the evolving landscape of Indian cinema. She added that it came from a place of genuine admiration for their authenticity, passion, and efforts to restore credibility and heart in the industry.
