Ibrahim Ali Khan Proudly Owns His Lisp
Ibrahim was heard saying, "Some people are born gifted, and some, born imperfect. As for me, I was born imperfect. And that’s okay, man. Perfection is just overrated yaar." He added that the brand Wrogn believes in not judging or fussing over people, but in accepting each other for who they are, with all their strengths and shortcomings.

He captioned the video while sharing it on Instagram, "For the longest time, I thought I had to ‘get it right’. Turns out, what’s real is far more powerful than what’s perfect. This is me, Wrogn but real."
Ibrahim Ali Khan Opens Up About Speech Impairment
The actor earlier revealed that he has been struggling with speaking since he was a child and that he still needs to put in 'a lot of effort' to improve it.
He told GQ India, "Soon after I was born, I had very bad jaundice and that went straight to my brainstem. I went on to lose quite a bit of my hearing, and that impacted my speech. 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."
