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, to Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh. Both his parents are actors in the Hindi film industry ‘Bollywood’ Khan is of Pashtun, Bengali and Assamese descent on his father's side and of Punjabi descent on his mother's side. 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. He has an older sister, Sara, who is also an actor, and two half-brothers from his father's second marriage to Kareena Kapoor Khan. Khan completed his schooling at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai, and completed a filmmaking course at the New York Film Academy. 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). His father recalls him being upset following the film's commercial and critical failure. 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. 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. He played Arjun Mehta, a scholarship student who is paid by his wealthy classmate (Kapoor) to pose as her boyfriend. The film was panned by critics. 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. Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times was more critical of Khan's performance, deeming it a one-dimensional "poor debut". 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. Khan shot for the film before his debut in Nadaaniyan. His performance in the film was, once again, subject to criticism from critics. Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in found him to be "unequipped to portray Harman's seething rage or emotional conflict". Shreyanka Mazumdar of News18 thought that Khan had improved upon his debut, particularly in action scenes, but concurred that he struggled with emotional depth. Khan will next star in the sports drama Diler, directed and produced by Kunal Deshmukh and Dinesh Vijan, respectively.
