'Are you sure?' Qala actor Babil Khan's response when when female fans tell him they like him

Babil Khan has left a mark with his debut as an actor in the Netflix film Qala last year. While the young actor not gone on a film signing spree and has a nuanced definition of success means to him, his debut film has certainly earned him a fan base and made him popular young female fans.

The Qala actor was asked about how he responds to his growing female fanbase during a recent interview with a magazine and he said that while he loves it, the experience often leaves him confused. Babil explained that he never thought of himself as an attractive guy and therefore finds it funny when female fans come up to him and tell him so.

“This is so funny. I was never an attractive guy. There was so much vulnerability, so much self-critique that I never saw myself as an attractive person. Somehow girls find me attractive. Even I get confused at times. Like if a girl comes up to me and says, ‘You’re so cute. You’re so attractive!’ my reaction is, ‘Really?’ If she says, ‘I like you,’ I retort, ‘Are you sure?’,” Babil told Masala in a feature interview.

However, now that he is getting all the female attention, Babil seems to have adjusted his views said that he loves it. “For instance, take the case of Ishaan Khatter, he was always so popular. He owns that face. I was never that guy. (Smiles) Now that I am in the limelight, girls find me attractive and I love it. I love the feeling of being attractive. What’s the point of lying?” he added.

Babil’s film Qala released in 2022 and has been directed by Anvita Dutt. The film is headlined by actress Tripti Dimri and has been hailed as a visual spectacle by the critics and audiences alike.
