Palak Tiwari REACTS to Pakistani critic's comment on rumoured beau Ibrahim Ali Khan's nose: 'First to shame a person... and then when they try to fix it...'

Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, recently made his much-anticipated Bollywood debut with Nadaaniyan—but not everyone was impressed. The newcomer faced a wave of criticism for his performance, with one Pakistani reviewer going a step too far by mocking his nose during a review.
The personal jab didn’t go unnoticed. Ibrahim fired back on social media, calling out the reviewer for crossing the line between critique and insult. While the young star is still finding his footing, he's clearly not afraid to stand up for himself.
Palak Slams Unfair Beauty Standards in the Industry
Palak, rumoured to be dating actor Ibrahim, recently opened up in a chat with Nayandeep Rakshit about the harsh reality of showbiz. She revealed how relentless trolling and body shaming push many actors to opt for cosmetic procedures, just to keep up with public expectations.
When the topic of a Pakistani reviewer mocking the young actors' nose while critiquing his performance in Nadaaniyan came up, Palak Tiwari didn’t shy away from addressing the harsh climate celebrities face today. She pointed out how celebrity bashing has become more popular than the celebrities themselves, adding that public figures now deal with a new level of relentless and unfair hate. While she acknowledged the need to earn respect, she emphasized that the criticism needs to come from a fair place.
Caught in a No-Win Loop
Palak also touched on the double standards actors face when it comes to their appearance. She pointed out how people first fixate on a celebrity’s looks and troll them for it, but when someone chooses to undergo cosmetic procedures to feel better about themselves, they’re shamed again for “setting a bad example.” According to her, it's a no-win situation — a constant cycle of criticism, whether it’s about one’s nose, hair, body, performance, or even just being “lucky.”
When the Trolls Go Too Far
Back in March, Pakistani film critic Tamur Iqbal stirred controversy after mocking Nadaaniyan on his Instagram Stories, taking a direct swipe at Ibrahim Ali Khan’s acting — and even ridiculing the size of his nose. The comment didn’t sit well with Ibrahim, who fired back with an explosive DM laced with insults and threats. He slammed Tamur for being “irrelevant,” called him “a walking piece of scum,” and even warned he’d make him “uglier” if they ever crossed paths. The heated exchange quickly became the talk of social media, drawing mixed reactions.
Palak Tiwari and Ibrahim Ali Khan first sparked dating rumours in 2022 after being spotted together in Mumbai. Though both have consistently claimed they’re just friends, their regular outings continue to fuel gossip. Most recently, at the special screening of Palak’s film The Bhootnii, Ibrahim was seen bonding with her younger brother while she mingled with guests — a moment that didn’t go unnoticed by eagle-eyed fans.
