Ibrahim Ali Khan, the son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, received criticism for his role in the movie Nadaaniyan, which was his debut. In his critique of his performance, a Pakistani reviewer even made fun of his nose. Ibrahim attacked him on social media after this. In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, his rumored lover and actor, Palak Tiwari, discussed the ongoing body shaming and trolling of performers and how it frequently prompts them to have cosmetic surgery.
“If there is 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,” Palak said in response to the interviewer’s mention of the recent controversy surrounding a Pakistani reviewer who made remarks about her rumored boyfriend Ibrahim Ali Khan’s nose while criticizing his performance in Nadaaniyan. It’s simply unrelenting and unapologetic. Though never to this extent, it has always existed. I recognize that people believe anyone can perform their duties, and while I support gaining someone’s respect, it must be equitable.
She 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.”
Shweta Tiwari’s daughter 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?

For those who don’t know, a Pakistani movie reviewer named Tamur Iqbal made fun of the movie on his Instagram Stories in March. He ridiculed Ibrahim’s “huge nose” and made fun of his acting abilities. Ibrahim then snapped at him, sending him a message that read: “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.”
