I went on to lose quite a bit of my hearing, and that impacted my speech," he said.“My speech is something that I’ve had to work hard on since I was a child, with coaches and therapists. It’s not perfect; I’m still working really hard on it," he further said in the interview.
Sarzameen is Ibrahim Ali Khan's second movie after his debut Nadaaniyan opposite Khushi Kapoor. He was trolled for the selection of role and his acting as well.
