'You walking piece of sc*m' ¡ª Ibrahim Ali Khan¡¯s alleged Instagram DM to Pakistani critic sparks internet frenzy

Bollywood debut gone wrong or a classic case of starry tantrums? Just days after his much-anticipated Netflix debut in Nadaaniyan, Ibrahim Ali Khan has found himself neck-deep in a spicy controversy. The actor allegedly lashed out at Pakistani film critic Tamur Iqbal via Instagram DMs, and the internet, as expected, is losing it.

Ibrahim Ali Khan¡¯s alleged DM to Tamur, a film critic from Pakistan

Tamur Iqbal, known for his unfiltered, no-nonsense reviews, recently took to Instagram to share a screenshot of what he claims is a DM from Ibrahim. In the supposed message, Ibrahim didn't hold back ¡ª throwing jabs at Tamur's appearance, calling him a "walking piece of sc*m" and warning him to watch his words. Ouch!

All started after Tamur reviewed Ibrahim Ali Khan¡¯s debut film Nadaaniyan

Tamur's initial review of Nadaaniyan seems to have struck a nerve. While the exact words of the critique remain a mystery, Tamur¡¯s response to Ibrahim¡¯s alleged DM reveals that he may have taken a swipe at Ibrahim's appearance, possibly a nose job comment that has since been edited out. If this isn't messier than a Bigg Boss fight, what is?

The message attributed to Ibrahim read, ¡°Tamur almost like Taimoor¡­ you got my brother¡¯s name. Guess what you don¡¯t got? His face. You ugly piece of trash... If I see you on the streets one day, I¡¯ll make sure I leave you uglier than you are ¡ª you walking piece of sc*m." Dramatic much?

In response, Tamur appeared unfazed, responding with a mix of humour and self-reflection. He admitted his nose job comment was in bad taste but maintained his critique of Ibrahim¡¯s performance. While some called it a savage clapback, others thought Tamur was baiting the actor for clout.

Tamur¡¯s revelations about Ibrahim Ali Khan

Tamur soon revealed that Ibrahim had blocked him on Instagram, further fueling the chaos. Reddit is buzzing with debates ¡ª some feel Tamur's approach was a desperate attempt for ¡°2 minutes of fame,¡± while others believe Ibrahim¡¯s fiery reaction was an overreaction. A Redditor commented, "If he¡¯s this thin-skinned, Bollywood might not be for him!"

Meanwhile, Nadaaniyan, which follows a privileged South Delhi girl hiring a fake boyfriend to get back at her family and classmates, isn't exactly winning hearts. Released on March 7, 2025, the film faced brutal criticism on social media, with memes and sarcastic reels overshadowing any genuine appreciation. Looks like Ibrahim's debut might be remembered for this DM drama more than anything else.

Can Ibrahim Ali Khan handle the heat?

The big question ¡ª Is Ibrahim Ali Khan ready for the brutal scrutiny that comes with Bollywood fame, or will he be remembered for clapping back harder than he acted in Nadaaniyan? The jury is still out, but one thing¡¯s for sure ¡ª the internet is watching every move he makes.
