Actor Ibrahim Ali Khan has had a sobering first year in the film industry. After making his acting debut in Nadaaniyan in March, he starred in Sarzameen in July. Both films—direct-to-OTT releases—were critically panned. Ibrahim was criticised by reviewers for appearing ‘raw and unprepared’. Now, the actor has admitted that he rushed into his debut.
In an interview with Esquire India, Ibrahim clarified that while he did not take his acting career for granted, he did come into films thinking that he would make it. “I am not saying I took my chance for granted, but I stepped into the industry like, ‘Ho jaayega’. Of course, I was working very hard—like I’m still working hard on my speech issue. But in a way, I feel I must have rushed into that movie. I was 21 when I began shooting for it—others around me are doing it at 26, 27, 28—and I now think I could have been more mindful of the scale of what was going to happen,” he said.
Ibrahim debuted with Nadaaniyan, which released on Netflix in March. Directed by debutant Shauna Gautam, the film also featured Mahima Chaudhry, Suniel Shetty, Dia Mirza, and Jugal Hansraj. Having earned largely negative reviews, Nadaaniyan has a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of just 12%. Four months later, Ibrahim starred in Sarzameen alongside Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The Kayoze Irani film was also panned by critics.
The son of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh and the grandson of Sharmila Tagore, Ibrahim has a large filmy pedigree. The actor said that he looks at that lineage for inspiration when he is crippled by self-doubt. He said, “I usually always have self-doubt. Whenever I feel unsure, all this (lineage) is a reminder of who’s at home. ‘You’re Saif Ali Khan’s kid. Bebo’s (stepmom Kareena Kapoor) in your family. You should be able to do it. You should be smashing it, man.’”
Ibrahim will be next seen in sports drama Diler, which will also star Sreeleela. The film, helmed by Kunal Deshmukh, is reportedly the story of a marathon runner. While no release date has been announced, it is expected to release sometime in 2026.
Actress Delnaaz Irani, who became popular after her appearance on Bigg Boss 6, recently shared her excitement about the idea of returning to the reality show. When asked if she would like to come back as a wild card or regular contestant in Bigg Boss 19, Delnaaz responded with enthusiasm.
Delnaaz Irani went on to say how much she enjoys the Bigg Boss environment. Talking to Bollywood Bubble, she said, “Of course! Bigg Boss is such a fun and exciting game. It’s one of the best reality shows. Why wouldn’t I want to go back? I would love to re-enter as a regular contestant or even as a wild card.”
Delnaaz Irani also spoke about how the show has changed over time. She reflected on her earlier experience, saying, “I would keep reentering Bigg Boss because it’s such a lovely place to be in. I think year after year, people say it’s just becoming worse, but worse for whom? Audiences are getting entertained every year. Bauth log bauth kuch bolte hai, but every year it’s a notch above. It’s doing very well, and the contestants are really entertaining. I feel every year there are a bunch of people who are so different, so unique. It would be really interesting for me to see myself today as a different Delnaaz Irani going into Bigg Boss, because jab hum log ne game kheli thi it was the beginning years of Bigg Boss. Even makers were trying to know what they could do, how they could proceed with the game, and it was so new for everybody. It was so new for everyone, like just six years into the show, and people were still getting their bearings.”
Delnaaz ended by saying she would now enter the house fully prepared. She said, “Abhi agar koi jata hai toh, obviously, one would be totally prepared, I would go all prepared, and I am, I’m totally excited with the question only. So I guess, it would be lovely to re-enter Big Boss.”
As Bigg Boss Season 19 continues, fans are excited to see who will make it to the finals and who will take home the trophy. If Delnaaz enters the house it would be an entertaining watch for the audience.

Kneecap have launched a legal attack on Canadian MP Vince Gasparro after being barred from entering Canada.
The Irish rap trio were banned from entering Canada earlier this week, with Canadian officials saying they had “made statements that are contrary to Canadian values” that “have caused deep alarm”.
Announcing the ban on Monday (September 15), Canadian Liberal MP and Parliamentary Secretary for Combating Crime Vince Gasparro said in a video on X/Twitter that the group has “amplified political violence and publicly displayed support for terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas.”
“These are not expressions of art or legitimate political critique,” Gasparro said. “They are dangerous endorsements of violence and hate.”
Mo Chara is currently facing terrorism charges levelled against him in May for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag on stage at a London show last November. Chara appeared in court last month, where the case was adjourned until September 26.
Kneecap have consistently denied supporting either Hamas or Hezbollah, and said that they do not incite or condone violence. They have also argued that the footage at the UK shows had been taken out of context, and described the legal action as a “carnival of distraction”.
They were due to perform in Toronto and Vancouver in October. A Jewish organisation in the country has been pushing for the government to deny them entry since June.
On behalf of the Government of Canada I am announcing that on the advice of our officials, we have deemed the group Kneecap ineligible to enter our country.
Our government will not tolerate the advocating of political violence, terrorism or Anti-Semitism and hate more broadly. pic.twitter.com/3KOf84G3bZ

Kneecap have now responded to Gasparro’s comments in a post on Instagram today (September 19), saying his statements are “wholly untrue and deeply malicious” and threatening legal action.
“We have today instructed our lawyers to initiate legal action against you,” the group said. “We will be relentless in defending ourselves against baseless accusations to silence our opposition to a genocide being committed by Israel.
“When we beat you in court, which we will, we will donate every cent to assist some of the thousands of child amputees in Gaza,” they added.
They also issued a message to their fans in Canada, saying, “We have played in Canada many times with zero issues and a message of solidarity and love.
“We are sorry we cannot be with you next month but we will not be silenced and will always oppose genocide. Use your voices in Canada – stand up and speak out.”
Last night (September 18), Kneecap played their biggest England gig to date at the 12,500-capacity OVO Wembley Arena.
Massive Attack and Ben Jamal introduced them to the stage, describing them as “a band who refused to be silenced for their solidarity with the Palestinian people”.
NME caught the gig and gave it a glowing five-star review, which read: “You don’t pull off a gig like that on controversy alone. You need bangers and you need a culture to fill this room. Kneecap have all that, and they’re a fucking good laugh. There’s no call for violence, there’s nothing that should land someone in front of a judge, just solidarity and a rave against the dying of the light. Just 24 hours earlier in this same room, Together For Palestine put on all-star fundraiser for the cause, the biggest of its kind.
“It’s significant like gigs like this should happen at a time like now. The state may try to crush them, but Kneecap have a power of their own. As they spit on ‘It’s Been Ages’: “Controversy won’t phase us, we hold all the cards and they’re aces, try to protect your kids but they’ll hear us.”
Kneecap have announced a live-streamed performance for fans after being forced to cancel their US tour due to the “close proximity of [their] next court hearing”. They will then head out on a 2025 UK headline tour in November. Find any remaining tickets here.
In other news, Kneecap are among Fontaines DC, Amyl & The Sniffers, and over 400 other artists to have joined the No Music For Genocide campaign, while Massive Attack, who are involved in the campaign, have committed to fully boycott Spotify.
Other artists, who are largely on independent labels, participating in the campaign include Rina Sawayama, MIKE, Primal Scream, Faye Webster, Kneecap and Japanese Breakfast. They are joined by the likes of Yaeji, King Krule, MJ Lenderman, Mannequin Pussy, Wednesday, Soccer Mommy and MØ.
To join the coalition, the artists involved have edited their own release territories or sent geo-block requests to their distributor or label. They are encouraging major label groups Sony, UMG, and Warner to follow suit, particularly as they blocked their entire catalogues from and closed operations in Russia a month into their invasion of Ukraine.
#KelliFerrell recently found herself in a little bit of legal trouble.
According to US Weekly, Monualda Cash, a neighbor of Kelli’s, was granted a temporary protective order against the #RHOA peach-holder. The TPO was put in place following an incident on Aug. 9, where Kelli allegedly entered Cash’s private patio through a locked gate in a “violent manner.”
Cash said Kelli, accompanied by others, made erratic verbal threats and had to be “physically restrained and removed” from the property. The court has ordered Kelli to stay at least 30 yards away from Cash. Kelli’s team responded, claiming: “Since the announcement of Kelli’s involvement with The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Mrs. Cash has engaged in a concerning pattern of behavior directed at Kelli and her family.” A hearing to determine whether the order should be made permanent is scheduled for Sept. 22.
Tanya Mittal was dating Balraj Singh ahead of entering Bigg Boss 19. The podcaster and social media influencer revealed that Tanya apologised to him before entering the Salman Khan-hosted show. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, Balraj admitted she messaged him before entering the BB 19 house, asking him to come and support her. Scroll down to read more and watch the interview.
When asked if he will participate in Bigg Boss, Balraj Singh said, “Main sach bata raha hoon. Main zindagi mein hamesha yahi khwaab dekha hai ki main Bigg Boss mein jaun. Maine hamesha Bigg Boss ko follow kiya hai. Bigg Boss ek reality show hai. Bigg Boss mein wahi insaan jaa sakta hai jo poori tarah se samarpit ho. Wahan ek image banakar nikal sakta hai – chahe woh gandi ho, achhi ho, kuch bhi ho. Aur uske liye aapko azaad hona padega. Yeh calls uthakar bol do ki sir woh nahi aayenge. Shoot chal rahe hain back-to-back.”
Talking about getting an offer, he continued, “Mujhe lagta hai, dekhiye, bulawa aaye aur Balraj naa jaye – aisa toh ho hi nahi sakta. Aur kya hoga, kya nahi hoga, yeh toh mujhe bhi nahi pata. Dekhte hain aage kya nikal ke aata hai. Main toh yeh chahta hoon ki uski asli image saamne aaye. Aur zaroori nahi hai ki asli image sirf Bigg Boss mein aaye. Jab woh bahar niklega, tab bhi asli image saamne aayegi. Aur dekh lena, main har tareeke se ladne ke liye tayyar hoon – chahe woh sachai ho, chahe woh legally ho, chahe property ka mamla ho.”
He added, “Main bahut ameer insaan nahi hoon, lekin mere apne log mujhse pyaar karte hain – aur mujhe yeh prove karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Isse aap andaza laga sakte hain ki jitni bhi baatein maine ki hain, jitni logon ko mila hoon, sabko dobara mujhse milne ki ichha hoti hai. Main hamesha nazrein mila ke baat karta hoon. Agar galti hogi toh yeh aankhen bhi jhukengi ya sir bhi jhukega. Lekin agar galti nahi hogi toh gardan kat jaayegi par jhukegi nahi. Yeh meri guarantee hai.”
When asked if any consent was taken while clicking his pictures, Balraj said, “Dekhiye, main pehle bhi interview mein bola tha – ek sach batata hoon. Zindagi mein repeat baatein hoti hain, banawati nahi. Jaise aapko ek Brahmastra milta hai. Agar koi us Brahmastra ko chidiya maarne mein use kar le, toh us Brahmastra ka bhi apmaan hai aur us chidiya ka bhi. Isne mera saara use kar liya. Jitna use karna tha kar liya. Jo chahiye tha, actual mein mil gaya. Phir mujhe zaroorat nahi rahi. Yeh bahut badi businesswoman hai. Kaise? Agar yeh mujhe aapse milwa degi toh bolegi – ‘Dekho Balraj, maine tumhe itne bade news anchor se milwaya.’ Aur turant baahar nikal kar bolegi – ‘Dekho maine tumhe itne bade shayar ke saath bithaya.’ Yeh hai iska dimaag, iska business move.”
He continued, “Aur aaj jab main interview de raha hoon, mujhe lag raha hai ki isne abhi bhi mera istemal kar liya. Main dil se bol raha hoon. Subah se nahi bola, ab bol raha hoon. Usne mujhe kabhi sorry nahi bola. Bigg Boss mein jaane se pehle sorry boli. Likha – ‘Balraj, can you please come to the Bigg Boss’ house for me? I’ll give your name to friends.’ Maine bola – ‘Say sorry. Woh boli – ‘Sorry.’ Phir boli – ‘Sorry Balraj, ho sakta hai zindagi mein zyada log bache nahi hain. Mujhe pata hi nahi saath rehna kya hota hai. Agar ho sake toh maaf kar dena.’ Aur haan, yeh sab baatein mere paas hain. Is baar maine delete nahi kiya. Pehle kar deta tha. Yeh 20 August Wednesday ka message tha.”
Concluding, Singh said, “Main aapko iska screenshot bhej dunga. Usmein likha tha – ‘Will you come for me inside the house? Friends mein naam de dungi.’ Agar mujhe lalach hota toh main turant likhta – ‘Haan please likh do, kyunki mera bhi sapna tha Bigg Boss jaana.’ Lekin maine aisa nahi kiya. Maine likha – ‘Kis haq se bhai? Batao pehle.’ Maine isko ek voice note bheja – ‘Say sorry.’ Usne bola – ‘Airport pe hoon, sun nahi paaungi.’ Toh maine un-send kar diya. Phir maine likha – ‘Say sorry.’ Ek bhi reply nahi. Phir bola – ‘Sorry Balraj, ho sakta hai galti ho gayi. Zindagi mein zyada log rahe nahi, isliye shayad samajh nahi paayi.’ Arre sorry kaun bolta hai? Jo galat hota hai na. Aur yeh baar-baar sorry bol rahi thi.”
Tanya Mittal and Balraj Singh, both social media influencers and former partners, are locked in a public spat amid Bigg Boss 19. The controversy began when Mittal, now a contestant on the show, claimed her ex cheated and took advantage of her, prompting Singh to release videos accusing her of being “fake,” exaggerating a spiritual and luxurious lifestyle, and revealing that she was initially his fan. While Singh continued to question her authenticity, Mittal’s parents defended her in a statement on Instagram, dismissing his claims as attention-seeking. Inside the Bigg Boss house, Mittal added that her breakup was also fueled by her ex’s negative comments about her appearance, escalating the drama further.
