Babil Khan talks about toxic masculinity

In an exclusive conversation on the show Men Z with Bollywood Bubble, Babil shared his perspectives on relationships, particularly on the notion of 'approaching a girl' and the idea of ‘getting a girl.’

Challenging traditional notions, Babil expressed his thoughts on the idea of 'getting' girls and remarked, “I don’t believe in the idea of ‘getting’ girls. I think the way patriarchy has developed itself is the idea that I need to approach a girl to ‘get’ her. Ye mere dimaag mein hai hi nahi (This doesn't exist in my mind). You don’t get a girl. You form a union in a way. It’s like you are sitting, and a woman comes and sits near you.”

Highlighting the importance of genuine connection, Babil further talked about his interactions and said that they are not driven by the idea of 'getting' someone and instead see conversations as a natural process. He added, “If you go to a bar and start talking to somebody, I don’t move into that thinking that I am approaching a girl to get. It’s a normal conversation I am having. Where that goes (conversation), is its own journey.”

In the course of the conversation, Babil also challenged stereotypical expectations of masculinity. He conveyed that being a man goes beyond superficial traits like six-pack abs, rejecting toxic ideals of being a saviour. Babil was last seen in The Railway Men.
