Ibrahim Ali Khan has praised Kareena Kapoor Khan as the “coolest stepmother”, thanking her for always supporting him. His father, Saif Ali Khan, also credited Kareena with helping bring their blended family closer.
According to India.com, the family shared their thoughts on a special episode of “Koffee With Karan Season 9”, which featured video messages from Ibrahim and his sister, Sara Ali Khan. Both siblings, Saif’s children with his former wife, actor Amrita Singh, sent heartfelt messages to their father and Kareena.
In his message, Ibrahim described Saif as his role model and hero, praising his ability to face difficult experiences.
“Dad, you’re my role model. My hero. But it’s not who you are, it’s more about what you have been through. High highs and then the low lows. Heart attack. Thumb injury. Knife and all that. And that’s why, Dad, you’re my hero. And you always will be,” Ibrahim said.
He then turned to Kareena, expressing gratitude for her support and their relationship.
“And Bebo, I want you to know you are the coolest stepmother. You’ve always been there. So, I want to thank you. And lots of love to you, of course,” he said.
When asked who should win the episode’s hamper, Ibrahim immediately chose his father.
Saif praised his family members for maintaining a close relationship and credited Kareena for helping build a strong bond with Sara and Ibrahim.
“Everyone has been really wonderful and understanding. And, of course, I would credit Kareena and credit everyone because these things work both ways,” he said.
Kareena also spoke about Ibrahim’s relationship with his younger half-brothers, Taimur and Jehangir. She said both boys look up to their elder brother and enjoy spending time with him.
“Tim and Jeh love Ibrahim. They really look up to him. They love playing with him. He makes such a nice effort,” she said.
Sara also sent a video message praising her father for his style and charm. She shared her childhood admiration for Kareena’s character Poo from Karan Johar’s 2001 film “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham”.
“The combination of Kareena Kapoor and Karan Johar is basically my childhood. Poo is my favourite character ever. Can’t wait to watch your episode,” Sara said.
Saif married Amrita Singh in 1991, and they separated in 2004. He married Kareena in October 2012, and the couple have two sons, Taimur and Jehangir.
The messages offered a glimpse into the family’s relationships and the effort its members have made to maintain close ties over the years.
