Ibrahim Ali Khan, who recently made his acting debut with the Netflix film Nadaaniyan opposite Khushi Kapoor, is already gaining attention for his honest and insightful opinions. In a recent interview with Filmfare, Ibrahim spoke about the changing dynamics of stardom in the age of social media, expressing his desire to maintain a more elusive and mysterious public persona – much like his father Saif Ali Khan and actor Ranbir Kapoor.
Ibrahim Ali Khan talks about how stardom was more ‘mystical’ before social media; says, “Actors weren’t out there and that’s what made them so desirable”
“Earlier there was no social media. You wouldn’t see stars in public. There was limited exposure to Hollywood. The audience would go to the theatres, and they would die to see all these stars. I want to be like that. I enjoy being out there as well,” Ibrahim said, reflecting on how digital exposure has reshaped the celebrity-audience relationship.
While acknowledging that he enjoys public life, Ibrahim made it clear that he finds a certain charm in staying low-key. He added, “But I want to be like Ranbir Kapoor. He’s not on social media. He’s kind of low-key. Saif Ali Khan, my beloved father… he’s also like that. He’s by himself at home. He’s a super cool guy doing his work, not on social media. These guys aren’t out there, no one can get to them. And that’s what makes them so desirable. We want to reach them, but we can’t.”
The young actor also touched upon the challenges faced by today’s stars who are constantly in the spotlight. “Now, I can’t even leave the gym in peace. I’m getting clicked leaving the gym. You get photographed everywhere. They all know us exactly for who we are, how we are. And that is one more reason as to why we have it harder than earlier stars,” he explained.
Ibrahim is now preparing for his big-screen theatrical debut in Sarzameen, where he will share screen space with veteran actress Kajol. With candid takes like this, Ibrahim Ali Khan is not just carving a space for himself as an actor, but also as a voice of his generation in the industry.
