Mumbai: Actor Babil Khan, who received much appreciation for his debut performance in the psychological streaming drama Kala, recently wore his father late actor Irrfan Khan’s suit to grace an award function. Babil was honored with the Best Debutant of the Year award at the ceremony.
He shared the title with actor Shantanu Maheshwari, who made a notable debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’.
Babil Khan said, “The joy of winning collectively is always greater than winning individually, I am extremely grateful that I got to share this with the incredibly talented Shantanu. I would like to congratulate the entire team of ‘Kala’. I want to thank especially Anvita, Clean Slate, Anushka Sharma, Tripti, Swastika and everyone associated with the film for believing in me and giving me this opportunity.”
“This award is not just a celebration of my work, but also a testament to the support and love I have received,” he added.
Directed by Anvita Dutt, Kala also stars Tripti Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee, Amit Sial and Sameer Kochhar. It is available to stream on Netflix.
