IIFA 2023 was a starry affair in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. One of the winners of the night was Babil Khan. He shared the award for Best Debut (Actor) for the film, Qala. It came on Netflix. Tripti Dimri was his co-star in the movie. Babil Khan is slowly making his way into the limelight. He has the same quirky taste as his taste as his dad, which is why he is being sought-after by fashion designers. Babil Khan opted for a gender fluid look for the green carpet where he wore a dinner jacket over a skirt, which resembled a Scottish kilt. He was accompanied by his mother, Sutapa Sikdar.
