Ibrahim Ali Khan Regrets Threatening Pakistani Critic Over 'Nose Job' Comment In Nadaaniyan Review: 'New To Public Scrutiny'

Saif Ali Khan's son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, made his acting debut with Nadaaniyaan alongside Khushi Kapoor, which premiered on Netflix. However, their performances were brutally trolled. Pakistani critic Tamur Iqbal also slammed the film—taking a dig at Ibrahim's acting skills and mocking his 'nose job.' This did not go well with Khan, who allegedly threatened him via DM, writing, "If I see you on the streets one day, I'll make sure I leave you uglier than you are, you walking piece of sc*m."

Now, Ibrahim has finally reacted to the controversy surrounding his threat to the Pakistani critic, stating that he regrets his actions. He told Filmfare, "I know I shouldn’t have reacted but I’m also new to public scrutiny. When he made that personal comment about my body, it felt like a below-the-belt remark. But going forward, I’ll be more composed. I shouldn’t have reacted. It won’t happen again."

Ibrahim admitted that he had always dreamed of a grand theatrical debut, imagining audiences blowing whistles and cheering for his performance. However, he acknowledged that the dynamics of the industry have changed, and theatrical releases aren’t what they used to be.

"I genuinely believe that we won’t get stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Aamir Khan again. That era of actors is gone. It just doesn’t work how it used to work in the ’80s and in the ’90s, when these guys would just stand in front of the camera and the movies would be a hit," he added.

The film also marked the directorial debut of Shauna Gautam, who was an assistant director to Karan Johar on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

Backed by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment and co-produced by Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra.
