Sara is an established actor today but her younger Ibrahim was introduced to the movies only this year. He’s already done two films, Naadaniyan and Sarzameen, but hasn’t tasted Sara’s success yet.

They seem like chalk and cheese in real life. While Sara is vivacious, Ibrahim is more reserved in public.
