Among the rising stars who owned the stage was Babil Khan, who seems to have left the critics impressed with his stellar performance in the movie Qala, co-starring Triptii Dimri. Babil's portrayal of Jagan in the film garnered him the prestigious award for Best Debut Actor (Male) at IIFA 2023.
Expressing his gratitude towards his latest victory, Babil said, "You debut only once and to be acknowledged for that is absolutely motivating. I will strive harder and wish harder. I am banking on everyone's love and blessing now to win the best actor for IIFA in the future."
