Ibrahim Ali Khan’s debut project Nadaaniyan, co-starring Khushi Kapoor, received negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. Now, Ibrahim’s grandmother, actor Sharmila Tagore, too, has dished out honest feedback about the film, saying it didn’t live up to expectations.

During a recent interaction, Sharmila spoke about her grandchildren Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim entering the film industry: “Sara and Ibrahim are doing a wonderful job. Ibrahim’s film was not good, but he still looks very handsome. He has tried his best. These things shouldn’t really be said in front of everyone, but honestly, the picture isn’t great. Ultimately, the picture has to be good”.

Sharmila went on to praise Sara for her dedication and potential. “She is a good actress. She works very hard and is capable of doing a lot more,” the 80-year-old told Anandabazar Patrika.

In another interview, Ibrahim’s aunt, actor Soha Ali Khan, was asked about what advice she would give him after being trolled. Soha said that one needs to develop a thick skin if they want to be a part of the film industry.
