Ibrahim Ali Khan had a witty question for father Saif Ali Khan after the senior actor finally made his debut on Instagram. The playful exchange between the father-son duo caught the attention of fans.
Saif recently joined the social media platform and shared pictures of himself inside the library at his home.
Ibrahim appeared surprised by his father’s arrival on Instagram and commented, “Is this you, Abba, no na?”
The Race actor responded by sharing an old childhood photograph of Ibrahim and asking if the little boy in the picture was his son in May 2008.
Ibrahim played along, replying, “I guess so.”
Saif continued the banter with the message, “a picture speaks a 1000 words ! ’Allo son!”.
The exchange drew amused reactions from social media users. “Abba is a bit slow .... time for some lessons I think - Yay Saif !! Welcome to the other side,” read a comment.
Another comment read, “@iak no way you just asked is this you abba”. “@iak Abba Jaan on insta finally,” another user said.
Since making his debut, Saif has amassed over 2.7 lakh followers. He is currently following five people — Ibrahim, wife Kareena Kapoor Khan, sister Soha Ali Khan, daughter Sara Ali Khan and Karisma Kapoor.
In September 2024, the 56-year-old actor had spoken about his reluctance to join social media, saying platforms such as Instagram could be time-consuming and expose users to negativity.
“Personally, I think it’s too time consuming. Sometimes I surf Instagram, and I spend half an hour reading the most inane things,” he had said, adding that he eventually deleted the app because he felt he was wasting time.
“It’s never ending. It can really suck you in. I don't like that because it's dangerous for someone like me. Also, I don't want to engage too much with negativity, which also can happen. So sometimes I find that this is just not for me,” he added.
On the work front, Saif was most recently seen in Haiwaan, alongside Akshay Kumar. His upcoming project is the period drama Hum Hindustani.
Ibrahim made his acting debut with the romantic comedy Nadaaniyan in 2025. He had earlier worked as an assistant director on Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023).
