Filmmaker Karan Johar took to Instagram to express his support for Ibrahim Ali Khan, the son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, ahead of his Bollywood debut.
Reflecting on his long-standing relationship with the Khan family, which spans over four decades, Johar shared his personal memories of meeting Amrita Singh when he was 12, during her collaboration with his father, Yash Johar, on the 1984 film Duniya. He also recalled his first meeting with Saif Ali Khan, describing him as “young, suave, and charming.”

In his post, Karan Johar emphasized the Khan family’s deep-rooted connection to films, noting that cinema runs in their blood, genes, and passion. He expressed excitement about Ibrahim’s upcoming debut in Dharma Productions’ Sarzameen, directed by Kayoze Irani, and anticipated that Ibrahim would bring a fresh wave of talent to the industry.
Ibrahim’s debut is highly anticipated, following in the footsteps of his family’s legacy in Bollywood. His sister, actress Sara Ali Khan, also showed her support by sharing Karan Johar’s message on Instagram, welcoming Ibrahim into the film industry.
The announcement of Ibrahim’s debut comes shortly after his father, Saif Ali Khan, recovered from an attack during an alleged robbery at his home. Following emergency surgery at Lilavati Hospital, Saif was discharged on January 21, which sparked criticism online about the speed of his recovery. In response, Saif’s sister, Saba Pataudi, defended him on Instagram, urging critics to “educate yourselves.” She shared a post by cardiologist Dr. Deepak Krishnamurthy, who clarified that those who undergo major surgeries, like cardiac bypass, often resume normal activities quickly.
