EXCLUSIVE: Babil Khan calls out toxic masculinity, says ‘The idea of getting women is digressive’

Babil Khan is the son of the late actor Irrfan Khan, who has made his way into the entertainment industry through Qala. He left the audience mighty impressed with his boyish charms. Babil Khan recently starred in Friday Night Plan and delivered a light-hearted tale of friendship and sibling bond. Being a new-age actor, Babil Khan recently got into an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble in a new show Men Z. The new-age actor Babil indulged in a hearty chat and shared his thoughts of ‘approaching a girl’ and the idea of ‘getting a girl’.

Babil Khan speaks about the idea of ‘getting girls’

Babil Khan definitely brought in a much-needed thought of how to approach a girl. Most importantly, he spoke about the idea of getting a girl. Speaking about the same, he said, “I don’t believe in the idea of ‘getting’ girls. I think the way the patriarchy has developed itself and digressed is the idea that I need to approach a girl to ‘get’ the girl. Ye mere dimaag me hai hi nahi. You don’t get a girl. You form a union in a way. It’s like you are sitting and a woman comes and sits near you.”

He added, “If you go to a bar and start talking to somebody, I don’t move into that thinking that I am approaching a girl to get. It’s a normal conversation I am having. Where that goes (conversation), is its own journey. I don’t go to someone ever with the idea that I am approaching you to get you. The idea of getting women is digressive and very patriarchy. Women don’t approach a man saying that I’ll get this guy. It’s very digressive.”
