Ibrahim Ali Khan Pataudi (born 5 March 2001) is an Indian actor who works in Hindi films. Born to actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, he had his first acting role as a child as the younger version of his father's character in Tashan (2008). As an adult, he had his first leading role in the poorly-received Netflix romantic comedy film Nadaaniyan (2025).

Early life and background

Ibrahim Ali Khan was born on 5 March 2001 in Mumbai, Maharashtra,[1] to Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh. Both his parents are actors in the Hindi film industry.[1][2] Khan is of Pashtun, Bengali and Assamese descent on his father's side and of Punjabi descent on his mother's side.[3][4]

Khan is the grandson of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Sharmila Tagore and Rukhsana Sultana. He is also the great-grandson of Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and Sajida Sultan, the great-great-grandson of Jnanadabhiram Barua and Hamidullah Khan, the great-great-great-grandson of Sultan Jahan Begum, Gaganendranath Tagore and Gunabhiram Barua, and the nephew of Soha Ali Khan and Saba Ali Khan.[5] He has an older sister, Sara, who is also an actor,[6] and two half-brothers from his father's second marriage to Kareena Kapoor Khan.[7]

Khan completed his schooling at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai, and completed a filmmaking course at the New York Film Academy.[1]

Khan had developed a keen interest in acting from a young age after his first acting role at age seven as the younger version of his father's character in Tashan (2008).[8] His father recalls him being upset following the film's commercial and critical failure.[8] Later in 2023, Khan worked as an assistant director for Karan Johar on his film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), which featured Sara in a special appearance.[9]

Career

In 2025, Khan had his first leading role opposite Khushi Kapoor in Johar's company Dharmatic Entertainment's romantic comedy film Nadaaniyan, for Netflix.[10] He played Arjun Mehta, a scholarship student who is paid by his wealthy classmate (Kapoor) to pose as her boyfriend.[11] The film was panned by critics.[12] The Hindu's Anuj Kumar bemoaned that Khan "has yet to befriend the camera and seems to be reading his lines instead of rendering them", but thought that he showed potential.[13] Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times was more critical of Khan's performance, deeming it a one-dimensional "poor debut".[14]

Khan next appeared alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol in the Johar-produced thriller Sarzameen, that released on JioHotstar. He played Harman Menon, an army officer's estranged son who has joined a militant group.[15][16] Khan shot for the film before his debut in Nadaaniyan.[17][18] His performance in the film was, once again, subject to criticism from critics.[19] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in found him to be "unequipped to portray Harman's seething rage or emotional conflict".[20] Shreyanka Mazumdar of News18 thought that Khan had improved upon his debut, particularly in action scenes, but concurred that he struggled with emotional depth.[21] Khan will next star in the sports drama Diler, directed and produced by Kunal Deshmukh and Dinesh Vijan, respectively.[22]
