Saif Ali Khan on prospects of son Ibrahim Ali Khan entering Bollywood

There is nothing new in children following the footsteps of their parents and joining the same profession. Whether you call it nepotism or anything else, but a large number of children still want to pursue the same profession as their parents and carry the legacy forward. This applies in almost every field, but when a celebrity’s kid takes up the same profession, it does create a hue and cry at times.

Just like any other father, popular actor Saif Ali Khan is proud that his daughter Sara Ali Khan, who made her acting debut with Abhishek Kapoor’s Kedarnath (2018), has proved her worth and talent in such a short period of time. After daughter Sara, now people are waiting for the debut of his elder son Ibrahim Ali Khan who has grown up to be a really handsome and charming boy.


In his recent interview with a leading Indian daily, Saif Ali Khan said that all his children have a keen interest in the profession of acting. When it came to Ibrahim, he considered his son is better-looking than him and hence he should really consider a career in showbiz. However, he emphasized that Ibrahim should first complete his graduation.

Talking about the prospects of Ibrahim’s acting debut, Saif told the daily, “He should. He’s looking good, better looking than I am! He’s a very charming guy. I definitely think all of my children would be interested in acting. We’re an acting family, the whole bunch of us are in the industry. So I’m sure. He’s still a little young, and I’m keen that he does university first. Then, of course, we’ll support him in whatever he wants to do.”

Meanwhile, Saif Ali Khan is gearing up for the world premiere of his hugely anticipated web-series Sacred Games 2. The Netflix original, also starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pankaj Tripathi in important roles, starts streaming on 15th August, 2019.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
