Babil Khan: I don’t want to plan my career – Exclusive – Times of India
“The biggest, the main, the very important learning that I had at that time was when I stopped reflecting upon my judgement of others, I automatically became more comfortable in my own skin — because I stopped judging myself and vice versa. When I stopped judging myself, I stopped judging other people, you know what I mean?” he said.
Elaborating further he said, “The judgement we get from others, becomes a huge barrier. As an actor, if you play diverse characters, the moment you judge a person, in the sense that you deem that something they are doing is wrong or something you dislike about what they’re doing, it’s very important to reflect within yourself why you feel like that. The moment you do that, you become more comfortable in your skin and you have so many more characters you can play. I think that’s why your journey as a human being is so important to grow as an actor. I think that was one of the biggest learnings I had at that point.”
When asked how he is planning to navigate his career, and choose between art as well as commercial films, Babil said, “I am not planning at all. I want to explore. So planning and exploring can’t happen at the same time. I think I want to explore, I want to take life as it comes and I want to do everything – I want to do masala commercial films, explore that as well and do it well. I want to give my entire being to a character and do slice-of-life drama. I want to try, and explore every kind of genre in films.”
