Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan made his much-anticipated Bollywood debut with Nadaaniyan, a romantic comedy co-starring Khushi Kapoor. The film, released on March 7, premiered on Netflix after a special screening attended by Bollywood celebrities.
At the screening, veteran actress Archana Puran Singh had a heartwarming exchange with Sara Ali Khan, where she couldn’t stop praising Ibrahim’s performance. She excitedly told Sara, “How awesome is Ibrahim! I love him.” Sara, equally proud of her brother, responded with gratitude.
Archana further expressed her admiration, saying, “He’s amazing. I hope it does really well. All the best. He’s one of the most adorable creatures I have ever met.” She also recalled sharing her appreciation with Saif Ali Khan, saying, “Maine Saif ko bhi bola tha, maine kaha, ‘Itna cute hai na tera beta’” (I told Saif as well; I said, ‘Your son is so cute’).
The event also saw the presence of Boney Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor, who came to support Khushi Kapoor. Archana congratulated them and specifically praised Khushi’s performance, especially in the emotional second half of the film.
Nadaaniyan features an impressive ensemble cast, including Suniel Shetty, Mahima Chaudhry, Dia Mirza, and Jugal Hansraj. Adding to the nostalgia, Archana Puran Singh reprises her iconic role as Ms. Briganza from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Directed by Shauna Gautam, who previously assisted Karan Johar on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Nadaaniyan is backed by Dharmatic Entertainment and produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra. The film’s release on Netflix has sparked excitement among audiences, marking a fresh chapter for Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor in Bollywood.
