I never saw parties as a way to network with people. I go to parties to pick the brains of people I admire. Like I want to meet <a rel=\"noamphtml\" class=\"keywordtourl\" href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/about\/karan-johar\/\">Karan Johar<\/a> and ask how he managed to find a place for himself in an industry that would reject people who wouldn\u2019t fit in. Like Baba; he faced so much humiliation because he couldn\u2019t fit in. I simply wanted to know Karan\u2019s story; he\u2019s so funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he got the chance to meet Karan, Babil said sheepishly, \u201cYes, but he\u2019s so busy. But he definitely met me. He took the time out and spoke to me about my film; he hugged me. But he\u2019s a busy man; I can\u2019t impose myself on him. I tried. And I will try again. My main intention behind attending parties is to understand people, and how they are able to do what they do. Auditions are the best way to prove yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\nif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\nn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '444470064056909');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/karan-johar-is-a-busy-man-irrfans-son-babil-khan-says-hell-keep-trying-until-he-gets-a-meaningful-meeting-with-kjo-9951262\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The late Irrfan Khan\u2019s son, Babil Khan, said that he used to attend Bollywood parties, but doesn\u2019t think that it gets aspiring actors work.
