We haven’t seen any other cricketer like Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, but whenever we stumble upon his grandson, Ibrahim Ali Khan’s cricket playing pictures or videos, we always remember the great legend. Just like his grandfather, Ibrahim also loves playing the gentleman's game. While he tries to stay away from the media, his cricket practice often becomes the headlines.
On October 6, 2020, Ibrahim took to his Instagram handle and shared a couple of videos of his cricket practice.

We all know Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's divorce had created a gap in the family. However, Saif has always tried hard to give equal importance to his kids, Sara, Ibrahim and Taimur. In an interview with the Bollywood Hungama, he had said, "I am always there for them. I love and adore all my three children. It’s true that I spend a lot of time with Taimur.

I feel each of my three children require a different kind of connect. I could have long chat on the phone or have dinner with Sara or Ibrahim which I can’t do with Taimur."
