This is where he belongs

Babil Khan says he was grappling with the loss of his father, actor Irrfan Khan, when he started working on the Netflix show The Railway Men and credits his co-star Kay Kay Menon for creating an environment where he felt a sense of belonging. During a press conference at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) on Wednesday evening, the actor revealed he had started working on the series about seven-eight months after his father’s demise.

Babil, who made his debut with Qala and also starred in the streamer’s recent release Friday Night Plan, said he found solace on the sets of The Railway Men. “When I was working with Kay Kay sir on this series, I was going through a huge loss. I had lost my best friend and father in one day. It was seven or eight months before we started shooting for this,” the young actor said. “When I would arrive on the sets, that was the only time I felt like I belonged anywhere. When I was working with Kay Kay sir, that was the only time in that period of my life when I felt like I belonged,” he added.
