In a recent interview with Esquire India, Ibrahim spoke about how often he was compared to his father and how he chose to view it positively. “For years, I’ve been told I look just like my father. ‘Oh my god, you’re just like him, you’re just like him, you’re just like Saif.’ When you’re constantly fed something like that, that becomes a standard for you. You want to be more and more like him,” he said.

Ibrahim also spoke about his father’s career path, saying, “I think my dad is an amazing actor. What I really like about him is that there were a lot of people who doubted him in the beginning. It took quite a few films for him to find his feet and become the versatile performer he is now.”
