The world of entertainment is no stranger to controversy, and the latest stir involves newcomer Ibrahim Ali Khan, who made his debut with the film “Nadaaniyan” earlier this month. Despite the mixed reviews the movie received, it appears that a critic’s words have struck a chord with the young actor. Reports suggest that Ibrahim has found himself in hot water after responding to a Pakistani film critic’s review of his film.
Film critic Tamoor Iqbal took to his social media handle to share a screenshot of a direct message he received from Ibrahim on Instagram. The message was nothing short of a scathing attack, with Ibrahim reportedly writing, “Tamoor sounds like Timur… You got my brother’s name. Guess what you didn’t get? His face. You ugly trash. Don’t worry since you can’t keep your words to yourself, they are as cheap as you are. Ugly, nonsense, I feel bad for you and your family, and if I see you on the streets one day, I’ll make sure to make you uglier than you are – you walking trash.”
However, Tamoor was not one to back down, and his response to Ibrahim’s message is telling. He replied, “Hahahaha look at this guy. This is the man I want to see in films. Not some fake, corny, emotional, and shameful person. But yes, the comment about nose surgery was bad. Otherwise, I completely accept it. You’re your father’s biggest fan, don’t disappoint him.” It’s clear that Tamoor stood his ground and gave it back to Ibrahim, refusing to be intimidated by the actor’s aggression.
The review that sparked this entire exchange is no longer available on Tamoor’s story, but the text of the conversation suggests that the critic had indeed been harsh in his assessment of Ibrahim’s performance. It’s not uncommon for critics to pan a film or an actor’s performance, but it’s rare for the actor to respond in such a vitriolic manner.
In a surprising turn of events, Ibrahim has now blocked Tamoor on Instagram, following the critic’s decision to share their conversation on social media. An internet user commented that Tamoor could have avoided making a comment about Ibrahim’s nose, to which the critic responded, “I agree, and that’s why I apologized for that comment in my DM.” Tamoor also shared a screenshot of Ibrahim’s block on his Instagram story, leaving many to wonder about the implications of this exchange on the young actor’s career.
As the entertainment industry continues to grapple with the intricacies of social media and online interactions, this incident serves as a reminder that words have consequences, and celebrities must be mindful of their online behavior. Will Ibrahim’s response to the critic’s review harm his reputation, or will it be forgotten in the vortex of social media? Only time will tell.
