Babil Khan Slams Trolls Online
A video of Babil Khan sincerely apologising to a guest at an event went viral, sparking online criticism. Now, he’s posted pictures of himself from the same event. In the caption, he admitted that he tends to over-apologize and isn’t very good at downplaying his remorse. He explained that this is how he was raised.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Babil wrote, “All I did was introduce myself, ‘Hi, I’m Babil’ and the way you looked at me changed. I know that look, I know that you think that I’m fake, ‘he’s pretentious, tryna act humble when he’s sure that I know of his name’ or something else like if I’m too sorry when I apologise. I am not strategised, it’s just the way I’ve been raised, I am who I am and that’s just the way I behave, but I know that it’s strange to see something new when all of the clones look the same (sic).”
Babil further added, “But if I’m honest to you, the truth is that I’m just struggling to adjust to fame. I put in the work and I deal with the pain and I guess someday it’ll pay, And I care about you, I care what you think, but I guess it’s time for a change. The same things that you loved me for, are now your weapons to hate. But I see you, the real ones, the day ones, the ones that never switched lanes. You’re family to me, I’ll be there for you, you’re the reason I stay in the game. This is our army. I love you (sic).”
