Ibrahim Ali Khan
Even before his acting debut in the show ‘Nadaaniyan’, Ibrahim Ali Khan was hardly a stranger to the spotlight. As Saif Ali Khan`s son, attention comes with the territory, but lately, it`s his personal life that has captured public interest. For a while now, rumours have been swirling about him dating actress Palak Tiwari, daughter of television star Shweta Tiwari. While fans eagerly connect the dots, Ibrahim has recently shared his perspective on relationships, offering insights that many are calling major green flags.
Adding to the intrigue, Ibrahim participated in a light-hearted segment called ‘Wrong Answers Only’ as part of the same feature. One playful misstep during this rapid-fire round caused quite a stir. When directly asked, “Are you single?” he initially responded with a “yes”, but then swiftly corrected himself to “no”, remembering the segment`s premise. Even though it was intended as a joke, it left many wondering if Ibrahim had inadvertently revealed something about his actual relationship status.
The playful banter didn`t end there. When questioned on how he would reply to someone saying “I love you”, Ibrahim coolly responded, “lol”, and then cheekily added, “me too”, accompanied by a sly wink. This exchange only added fuel to the speculative fire. He also humorously revealed that his sister Sara Ali Khan’s number is saved on his phone with a “crap" emoji beside it.

One particularly talked-about moment was when Ibrahim attended the premiere of ‘The Bhootni’, a film starring Palak alongside Mouni Roy and Sanjay Dutt. What made this outing even more noteworthy was Ibrahim being seen bonding with Palak’s younger brother, Reyansh. It’s these small interactions that keep the rumour mill buzzing.
Palak Tiwari has also addressed the dating rumours. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, she offered a clear and simple explanation. She said, “We were just out, and we got papped. It ends there. It’s just that. In fact, we were with a group of people. It wasn’t just us. But it got papped like that. It was the narrative that people liked the most, but that’s it. We are nice friends. He is a very sweet guy. That’s all there is to it. We talk sometimes, and that’s all.”
While Ibrahim`s "wrong answer" has certainly reignited curiosity about his love life, and his mature take on relationships is refreshing, the exact nature of his equation with Palak Tiwari remains a closely watched secret in Bollywood.

In a candid chat with GQ India, Ibrahim didn`t hesitate when asked about the kind of boyfriend he is. His answer was prompt and self-assured. “I’m very caring," he stated. "I don’t cross boundaries, and I’m not possessive. I don’t ask too many questions. I give and expect space.” This straightforward approach to relationships highlights a sense of respect and independence that many find appealing.Adding to the intrigue, Ibrahim participated in a light-hearted segment called ‘Wrong Answers Only’ as part of the same feature.
