“I will miss you so much. My beautiful friends. I have a very tight circle here in Mumbai, literally 2-3 friends in total. You all gave me a home in a strange cold place and made me feel like I belonged.”

“Thank you, I love you. Film BA, dropping out today, with over 120 credits because I’m giving it all to acting as of now. Goodbye university of Westminster. I love you my truest friends (sic)” he wrote alongside a series of pictures.

Last week, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar and producer Ronnie Lahiri announced that they are set to collaborate with Babil for a project, details of which are still under wraps.
