The much-anticipated debut of Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, has finally arrived with the film “Nadaaniyan,” which premiered directly on the Netflix platform, courtesy of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Ibrahim shares the screen with Khushi Kapoor, daughter of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, in this teen-romantic comedy, marking her third venture in the industry after “The Archies” and “Lovayap” alongside Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan. Since its release, “Nadaaniyan” has been making headlines, albeit for all the wrong reasons. The internet is rife with discussions, not about the film’s prowess, but rather its shortcomings, with many criticizing the storyline and the acting abilities of its lead actors, Ibrahim and Khushi.
Now, Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has weighed in on the debate, offering his thoughts on the matter. In a tweet over the weekend, Sonu Sood advocated for kindness towards newcomers in the film industry, emphasizing that no one starts off perfect and that experience is a key factor in growth. He stated, “Be kind to the newcomers, be it in the film fraternity or elsewhere. When someone starts, they are not perfect. We all learn with experience. Only a handful of people get a second chance.” Sonu Sood stressed the importance of supporting and encouraging newcomers, rather than tearing them down.
Understanding the Importance of Teamwork
Sonu Sood also underscored that the entire team behind a film is responsible for its performance, whether good or bad. He wrote, “We are all learners. Let’s support them and encourage them.” The ‘Dabangg’ actor appealed to social media users to spread love and kindness, though he refrained from mentioning “Nadaaniyan” or its lead actors, Ibrahim and Khushi, by name in his post.
A Glimpse into “Nadaaniyan”
The film, directed by Shauna Gautam in her directorial debut, boasts a star-studded cast, including Diya Mirza, Mahima Chaudhry, Suniel Shetty, and Jugal Hansraj, alongside Ibrahim and Khushi. Produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra, “Nadaaniyan” hit Netflix on March 7, 2025. The movie’s trailer has been garnering attention, with many eager to form their own opinions about this highly discussed teen-romantic comedy.
Despite the mixed reactions, it’s essential to remember the value of maiden efforts and the learning curve that comes with them. As Sonu Sood so aptly pointed out, kindness and support can go a long way in nurturing talent and fostering growth in the competitive world of entertainment. With “Nadaaniyan” being a significant milestone for both Ibrahim and Khushi, only time will tell how their careers unfold, but for now, it’s a step into the limelight that will undoubtedlybe scrutinized, yet simultaneously, serves as a fundamental part of their journey to stardom.
