Babil Khan on his latest show Logout and his 'toxic' relationship with social media

It was eerily prophetic. Days after the release of the cybercrime thriller show Logout on ZEE5, a vulnerable and teary-eyed Babil Khan took to social media to express his frustration with Bollywood and its hyper-competitive ecosystem. It was a cry for help, and one that was heard, as support poured in for the 26-year-old actor who felt blindsided. Before this incident, Babil was busy promoting his show.

Babil plays a fame-hungry influencer who gets caught in a twisted plot after the device he seeks to control starts manipulating the narrative around him.

"Social media has a toxic relationship with me. For my generation, it is hard to relate how we are inundated with information that amplifies the desire to be wanted and loved. I don't use social media much and avoid engagement on it, but I do desire validation. This film brought to light all that I was suppressing within me. Somewhere I was creating an image of being different and edgy," he says.
