Ibrahim Ali Khan compared his own upbringing to that of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s sons, describing his childhood as "normal" and free from screens or media attention. Khan has expressed concern over the intense media spotlight on his younger half-brothers, Taimur and Jehangir (Jeh), noting how today’s celebrity children are growing up with constant exposure and little privacy.

"So, I see Jehangir and Taimur. And a part of me does feel bad for them. Taimur, who’s just turning eight years old, is trying to leave the house and he’s getting clicked by the media. And Jeh, who’s just four-five years old, he’s also getting clicked. And when they’re at home, they’re playing on their iPhones and iPads at that age. These things weren’t there when we were growing up," the actor said.

The Nadaaniyan star added, "I think I belong to the last generation who had a normal childhood. The paparazzi doesn’t even let these kids breathe. It was only after I turned 18, that I faced the paparazzi. I am so grateful that I got to have a normal childhood. A normal childhood, in my opinion, is not having these screens, not knowing what the world is thinking, what the world has to say."
