Priyanka Chopra Texted Ibrahim Ali Khan After Nadaaniyan: 'She Said I Have A Bright Future'
Last Updated:
Ibrahim Ali Khan — son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh — has broken his silence on the criticism that followed his debut film.
A few months after Naadaniyan hit the screens, Ibrahim Ali Khan — son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh — has broken his silence on the criticism that followed his debut. Starring alongside Khushi Kapoor, daughter of the late Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, Ibrahim faced intense trolling online, with many questioning the performances of both star kids. In a recent interview with GQ India, Ibrahim spoke openly about the backlash and shared his thoughts on the pressure and public scrutiny that came with his first film.
On being asked if he received any advice after his debut film released, Ibrahim said, 'From two people. My dad said this is not the year 2000 when a star can just walk around in a movie and it can be a blockbuster. Today you must be very prepared, and be a quick learner. Most importantly, he said the script and the filmmaker are two things you cannot compromise on."
Ibrahim also opened up on a special text. He said, 'The second one was from -Priyanka Chopra. She sent me a very sweet -message saying she watched the film and thinks I have a bright future. She said I have to hold my head high and keep grinding; and that I must grow a thick skin. Coming from someone as accomplished as she is, I felt really comforted and motivated."
Earlier, in a chat with Filmfare, he had admitted that audiences may have entered the theatre expecting a grand, high-stakes launch vehicle, but that was never the intention behind Naadaniyan. '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," he had said.
Ibrahim Ali Khan's next film is reportedly Diler, a sports drama where he will be paired with South Indian actress Sreeleela. The young star will also be seen in Sarzameen with Kajol, directed by Kayoze Irani.
