Karan also posted several photographs featuring Ibrahim. In some images, Ibrahim Ali Khan was seen without a shirt, wrapped in a blanket, while in others, he donned a brown vest beneath a red shirt, paired with a grey coat and red trousers. In his caption, Karan reminisced, "I met Amrita, affectionately known as Dingy by her loved ones, when I was merely 12 years old. She starred in a film for @dharmamovies with my father titled Duniya, and I vividly recall her grace, energy, and commanding presence in front of the camera."

Karan remembered meeting Amrita for first time

"What stands out most in my memory is the delightful Chinese dinner we shared, along with her hairstylist at the time, after our initial meeting, followed by a James Bond film! From the moment we met, she treated me as if I were her own, exemplifying the power of her grace, which continues to resonate through her and her children," he concluded.

Karan discusses his encounters with Saif and Sara

"My initial meeting with Saif Ali Khan took place in Anand Mahendru’s office. He was young, sophisticated, charming, and exuded an effortless charisma—very reminiscent of my first encounter with Ibrahim. Our friendship has flourished over the years, extending from our generation to our children, which is a fortunate continuation. I have known this family for four decades, collaborating with them in various capacities—from 'Duniya' with Amrita, 'Kal Ho Naa Ho,' and 'Kurbaan' with Saif, to 'Simmba' with Sara, and many more projects on the horizon. My admiration for this family stems from the warmth they embody," he expressed.

Therefore, stay tuned as @iakpataudi captures your hearts and soon graces the screens!" he concluded, accompanied by heart and clapperboard emojis.

In response to the post, one individual remarked, "You will also launch Taimur and Jeh... elevating those already elevated." Another comment stated, "Karan Johar is at it again, emphasizing the capital N in Nepotism." A social media user noted, "No talent is necessary! This is the resume! A lab-grown physique and connections with Karan Johar—it's no surprise that India is filled with mediocrity promoting mediocrity!" An Instagram user added, "Another nepo baby."
