Hyderabad: Filmmaker Karan Johar has officially announced that Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, is set to make his debut in the film industry. Johar shared the news on social media, expressing his excitement about introducing Ibrahim to the world of cinema.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Karan shared candid shots of Ibrahim along with a lengthy note reminiscing about his long-standing relationship with Ibrahim's family. He fondly recalled his first encounter with Amrita Singh, whom he met when he was just 12 years old. "I met Amrita or Dingy, how the loved ones like to call her…when I was just 12 years old. She did a film for @dharmamovies with my father called Duniya, and I remember so vividly the grace, the energy & the commandment over the camera she had," Johar wrote.
He shared a memory of a Chinese dinner with Amrita and her hairstylist after their first meeting, followed by a James Bond movie. "BUT, what I remember the most is the warmest Chinese dinner with her and her hairstylist of the time after our first meeting, followed by a James Bond movie! She treated me like her own the second we met and that was the power of her grace…which lives on through her and her children too," Johar added.
Reflecting on his first meeting with Saif Ali Khan at Anand Mahendru's office, Johar described Saif as "young, suave, charming, and effortless." He drew a parallel between that moment and his initial meeting with Ibrahim, writing, "VERY much like the first time I met Ibrahim."
