In a rare and heartfelt revelation, Kajol recently opened up about her experience working with both Saif Ali Khan and his son Ibrahim Ali Khan. The actress offered an insightful comparison between the two, touching upon their on-screen charisma and contrasting approaches on set.
Kajol Talks About Saif and Ibrahim as Co-Stars
“Camera loves both of them. They both have this X-factor in them,” Kajol said in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama. “Saif is more of a ‘main character energy’ kind of person. Ibrahim, on the other hand, was much more reserved on set. I think he was trying to stay in character in that moment and be quiet and reserved.”
Kajol and Saif’s Cinematic Journey
Kajol and Saif Ali Khan have shared the screen in several films over the decades, creating a memorable on-screen pairing. Their first collaboration was the 1994 romantic hit Yeh Dillagi, co-starring Akshay Kumar. They went on to appear together in Bambai Ka Babu (1996) and the reincarnation drama Hameshaa (1997).
More recently, the duo reunited in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (2020), further cementing their long-standing creative bond.
Spotlight on Ibrahim Ali Khan
Kajol’s comments have sparked fresh excitement around Ibrahim Ali Khan, who made his debut earlier this year in Nadaaniyan opposite Khushi Kapoor. Although his debut received mixed responses, anticipation is building around his next project — Sarzameen — under Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
The film, set to premiere on JioHotstar on July 25, stars Ibrahim in a complex, layered role alongside Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The story and screenplay are penned by Soumil Shukla and Arun Singh, with direction by Kayoze Irani.
What’s Next for Saif Ali Khan
Meanwhile, Saif Ali Khan was last seen in Netflix’s Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins, sharing screen space with Jaideep Ahlawat. He’s gearing up to begin work on Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan, which will mark his reunion with Akshay Kumar after 17 years.
