Ibrahim Ali Khan calls social media ‘hateful world’; defends Nadaaniyan as a ‘good’ film: ‘They tried to tw it a lot’ | Bollywood News

Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Arora’s son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, recently made his debut with Karan Johar’s Nadaaniyan. While expectations were high from the film, it was widely panned critics, with Ibrahim becoming the target of trolling online. In a recent interaction, the 24-year-old actor acknowledged that while people expected a lot from Nadaaniyan, the team’s intention was always to create an easy-breezy rom-com.
Sharing his take on Nadaaniyan, Ibrahim told Filmfare, “People go into the film with very high expectations of what it should be. It was not to be some grand film. It was meant to be a sweet, breezy rom-com that you should enjoy on a Friday night, chilling in bed.”
Ibrahim Ali Khan didn’t shy away from addressing the negativity he faced online, calling social media a ‘hateful world’ for the amount of trolling both he and the film have seen in the past few months. However, he remained confident in his self-belief, adding, “They tried to tw it a lot. Sure, as a lead actor, I have to bring in loads more than what I did. I know I can bring it and I am confident that I will bring it in my future projects. But I’m happy with what it was. I worked with hardworking people and we made a sweet film.”
