Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s son, Ibrahim Ali Khan made his debut with Nadaaniyan, also starring Khushi Kapoor. Post release, he had faced backlash for his performance from netizens in massive numbers. A Pakistani reviewer even presented a mockery over the shape of his nose and deplorable performance. Now, his rumoured partner and actor, Palak Tiwari, addressed the ongoing hate in conversation with Nayandeep Rakshit.
Palak Tiwari on trolling
During the conversation, Palak boldly stated, “If there’s one thing that sells more than celebrity, it is celebrity bashing, and on top of that, we are in a time right now where there is hate towards public figures in general. It’s just unbashed and relentless. It’s always existed, but never to this level. I understand that people think anybody could do their job, and I am all for earning a person’s reverence, but at the same time, it needs to be fair.”
She further added, “You first put our focus on our aesthetics, then, when a person does something about their aesthetic and goes around and gets it changed and doctored, it is then that you say, ‘Why would you do that? You are setting a wrong example.’ First to shame a person for their appearance and then, when they try to fix it because they succumbed to their insecurities and the hatred surrounding them, you bash them for giving in to the hate? It’s just the most unfulfilling situation a person can be in. It’s a loop. They basically just want to criticise you. It could be your nose, your hair, your body weight, your performance, and if it’s none of that, then it’s just that this person got lucky.”
In March, a movie critic, Tamur Iqbal from Pakistan mocked Ibrahim and the film on his Instagram Stories. He criticised Ibrahim’s acting skills and mocked his ‘huge nose’. The actor retaliated and wrote:
“Tamur almost like Taimur .. you got my brother’s name. Guess what you don’t have? His face. You ugly piece of trash, since you can’t keep your words to yourself, don’t bother, they’re irrelevant just like you. Ugly goddamn piece of s**t I feel bad for you and your family — and if I see you on the streets one day, I’ll make sure I leave you uglier than you are — you walking piece of scum.”
