A night meant for celebration and charity took an unexpected turn when actors Babil Khan and Huma Qureshi were caught in a seemingly tense exchange outside a costume party in Mumbai. The star-studded event saw numerous celebrities in attendance, but it was this moment between Irrfan Khan’s son and the actress that set social media abuzz.
The video, now circulating widely online, captures the two actors stepping out together as paparazzi surround them. What begins as a routine photo-op soon turns into an uncomfortable interaction. Babil, appearing concerned, brings up a missed phone call, saying, “Usne phone bhi nahi uthaaya mera.” Huma, visibly trying to avoid the conversation, smiles and responds, “Later we will talk haa.”
But Babil doesn’t let it go. Pushing the matter further, he asks, “Wo gussa hai mujhse?” At this point, Huma’s discomfort becomes more apparent. She responds, “I have no idea. Sorry,” before Babil quietly walks away. Moments later, Huma is seen with a friend, posing for photographers, but her irritation seems to linger. Caught on video, she mutters to her friend, “I want to slap that boy.”
The clip has sparked widespread speculation online. Many viewers picked up on the palpable tension, with one Reddit user summing up the mood by writing, “This conversation between Huma and Babil is so painfully awkward to watch—by the end, it looked like she wanted to run as far away from him as possible.”
As curiosity grows, fans are left wondering about the backstory behind the brief but loaded exchange. Neither actor has commented publicly on the incident, but the viral moment has certainly given people something to talk about beyond just the fashion and festivities of the evening.
