Ibrahim Ali Khan’s debut film Nadaaniyan has ignited a social media firestorm, with netizens scolding him for his remarks on stardom. Ibrahim, while talking to Filmfare, wished to be a star like stars of the past, when stars used to have little public exposure and commanded an aura of awe.
But his attitude came across as arrogant and not humble enough, and many drew comparisons with Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan unfavourably. Most social media users posted an older clip of Kartik and Sara talking about fame in a more understated manner.

Kartik freely admitted he wants attention but stays humble, while Sara compared stardom to background music—necessary but not dominating.
Commentators believed Ibrahim needed to take a page from their mature attitude, judging him for sounding entitled, particularly after a debut that failed to impress critics and viewers.

Interestingly, certain netizens are asking if Kartik’s PR is deliberately hyping him up by targeting newcomers like Ibrahim. They believe that such constant trolling is unjust, particularly for a young star kid trying to make a name for himself.
Critics also point out that negative reports about Ibrahim are being utilized to put Kartik on a pedestal, questioning the fairness of doing so.
