Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 29 (ANI): Filmmaker Karan Johar is all set to introduce Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, to Bollywood.

Reflecting on his relationship with Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, Karan recalled his early encounters with both of them.
“I met Amrita or Dingy, as the loved ones call her, when I was just 12 years old. She did a film for my father, Yash Johar, called Duniya in 1984, and I remember the energy and grace she had. But what I remember the most is the warmest Chinese dinner with her after our first meeting,” Karan shared.
He also fondly remembered meeting Saif for the first time, noting how Saif’s charm and suave demeanour reminded him of Ibrahim’s personality.
Karan Johar expressed his deep admiration for the Khan family, emphasizing their contribution to cinema and the entertainment industry.
