New Delhi:

Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt, on the first episode of Koffee with Karan Season 7, revealed that she is obsessed with actor Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan. In the recent episode, the host of the show Karan Johar, started his quirky rapid-fire round with the Raazi actor, in which he questioned her, “What is the best compliment you’ve got from the industry for your work in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi?” To which the Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhianiya actor replied, “Everyone in the industry is very sweet. But there is one person, Ibrahim Ali Khan, he is the most cutest person I have ever met in my life. He sent me the most amazing message.”

Post that, the actor went on to read the message Ibrahim sent him after watching her performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi, which reads, “Had to remove the time to message you personally…I cannot believe this is the same lady, I learn from every time, you’re just phenomenal. You’re so so good as Gangu and seeing you as Rani and then watching this film, it’s safe to say you mould yourself effortlessly, like water taking shape of its container. So So good! Best actress in this country”.

Karan and the Ram-Leela actor had a laugh riot listening to the message that Sara Ali Khan’s brother texted to the Dear Zindagi actor.

Ibrahim is currently working as an Assistant Director under Karan Johar, for his upcoming romantic drama film Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani starring Ranveer and Alia as the lead pair.

The fun episode ended on a happy note with the Padmaavat actor winning the gift hamper for the rapid-fire round with 71% votes of the live audience and Alia beating him in the buzzer game.

Meanwhile, the Kapoor and Sons actor will be next seen in the Netflix film ‘Darlings’ with Shefali Shah and Vijay Verma. The film is slated to release on August 5, 2022.

Apart from that she also has Brahmastra Part One: Shiva with her husband Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan. The film is all set to hit the theatres on September 9, 2022.
