As Babil continued to ask, "Woh gussa hai mujhse?" (Is she angry with me?), Huma responded, “I have no idea,” before walking away. What caught netizens' attention most was what followed — Huma leaning over to whisper to actress Shikha Talsania, “I want to slap this boy.” The moment, though possibly said in jest, was captured on video and quickly spread across social media platforms, with users branding the exchange “awkward” and “uncomfortable to watch.” Some even questioned Babil’s behavior at the event, calling it immature.
