Ibrahim Ali Khan recently made his acting debut with Nadaaniyan, sharing the screen with Khushi Kapoor. Despite the buzz surrounding the film, it failed to meet expectations and received a lukewarm response upon release. Both Ibrahim and Khushi were heavily criticized on social media for their performances, reports NDTV.
Nevertheless, Ibrahim’s family — including Soha Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore — have shown unwavering support, recognizing that he is just starting out in his career.
In a recent interview with Filmfare, Ibrahim opened up about his bond with his mother, Amrita Singh. Reflecting on her influence, he said, “She pampers me, praises me, and keeps me grounded. She does it all.”
Earlier, while promoting her comeback Bengali film Puratawn, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore shared her thoughts on Nadaaniyan and Ibrahim’s performance. She candidly remarked, “The film wasn’t great, but Ibrahim looked very handsome and gave it his best. These things shouldn’t always be said publicly, but to be honest, the movie wasn’t strong. In the end, it's the quality of the film that matters.”
Responding to her comments, Ibrahim acknowledged her perspective and added, “She’s seen it all. Like we were discussing, things are tougher now than before. I’m sure my dad also had challenges being her son, considering my grandmother was a huge star. He must’ve felt that pressure. I think she saw him struggle in his early films too.”
He continued, “So she understands what it’s like. She’s been through it. And what have I even accomplished yet? Sure, I’ve done one film, but what does that really mean? The fact that she believes in me — that’s what matters most.”
As of now, the spotlight is on Ibrahim’s next move in the film industry.
