Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan made his Bollywood debut with Nadaaniyan. The film released on Netflix faced immense backlash for Ibrahim’s acting, speech and his looks. Now, in a recent interview with Esquire India, Ibrahim has openly admitted that it was a ‘really bad film’, and went on to share how the brutal trolling affected him.
While speaking about his debut film Nadaaniyan’s failure, Ibrahim Ali Khan told Esquire India, “Not too long ago, they were all waiting for my launch, and after Nadaaniyan, the hype has dropped real bad. They’ve trolled me nonstop. ‘He won’t be able to do it only’. It’s a massive low… and I constantly feel bad about it." He then acknowledged that it was indeed a bad film. “I’m just gonna go on record and say that it was a really bad film," he said.
