Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim Ali Khan is among those who made his OTT debut in 2025. It is the year where many star kids are launched and are being pitted against each other. Nadaaniyan itself featured another star kid Khushi Kapoor (Boney Kapoor-Mom actress Sridevi's daughter) as the female lead. While the film did not get a good response, Ibrahim learned a lot through two messages he got right after the movie released on Netflix. The golden advice however came from Aitraaz actress Priyanka Chopra. Here's what she said...

Priyanka Chopra's golden advice to Ibrahim Ali Khan

Ibrahim received two messages, and the second happened to be from Priyanka Chopra. "She sent me a very sweet message saying she watched the film and thinks I have a bright future. She said I have to hold my head high and keep grinding; and that I must grow a thick skin. Coming from someone as accomplished as she is, I felt really comforted and motivated," the actor shared with GQ India magazine. Through her message, Priyanka could have shared her own experience of how Bollywood could be a harsh place and Ibrahim would have to grow a thick skin to survive in the industry.

Saif Ali Khan's message to son Ibrahim Ali Khan

The first message Ibrahim got was from his father, Saif Ali Khan (Phantom actor last seen in Jewel Thief). He bluntly told his son that the world is not stuck in 2000s where a star can show up in a movie and expect it to be a blockbuster. "Today you must be very prepared and be a quick learner," he said, stressing that the script and filmmaker is not something to compromise on.

During his interview with Filmfare, Ibrahim Ali Khan had stated that Nadaaniyan was not supposed to be a grand film. "It was meant to be a sweet, breezy rom-com that you should enjoy on a Friday night, chilling in bed," he had said.
