Ibrahim Ali Khan's Viral Video With Specially-Abled Fan Melts Internet's Heart
Last Updated: Ibrahim Ali Khan interacted with a fan using sign language at Sarzameen premiere. Fans praised his humility and called it a result of 'good parenting'. Ibrahim Ali Khan, who recently made his acting debut with Sarzameen, is being lauded online for a thoughtful interaction with a specially-abled fan. The young actor attended the premiere of his film on Thursday night in Mumbai and looked dapper in an all-black ensemble. While the event was star-studded, it was Ibrahim's heartwarming gesture that truly stole the spotlight. In a viral video posted by paparazzo Viral Bhayani, Ibrahim is seen exiting a suburban theatre after the premiere. As he prepares to leave, a fan with a hearing and speech impairment approaches him for a photo. Ibrahim, without hesitating, engages with the fan using sign language. The video shows Ibrahim patiently conversing with the fan and even advising him to 'go home and sleep." The fan, touched by the moment, tries to share his home address with Ibrahim by showing it on Google Maps. Ibrahim waits, looks at the location, shares a warm hug with the fan, and then heads to his car. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Pap (@bollywoodpap) Netizens were quick to applaud Ibrahim's humility and empathy. Many praised his upbringing, calling it 'good parenting." Comments such as 'This shows his values" and 'So grounded, Saif and Amrita raised him well" flooded the video. Ibrahim On His Own Speech Struggles Interestingly, Ibrahim himself has faced speech-related challenges. In a previous interview with GQ India, he opened up about his journey. '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," he shared. He further added, '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."

Ozzy Osbourne auditioned 50 guitarists, one played while eating a sword, and then came Randy Rhoads
Ozzy Osbourne faced challenges after his departure from Black Sabbath. He needed to form a new band. The search for a guitarist was bizarre. Many eccentric musicians auditioned. Randy Rhoads impressed Osbourne. Rhoads joined the band. They created influential metal albums. Rhoads tragically died in a plane crash. His death ended their partnership. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Eddie Van Halen clones on steroids Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The legendary pair that changed American music When Ozzy Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979, he wasn't just out of a band but was suddenly in charge of building one from scratch. 'I was jet-lagged to the max, arguing with some idiot guitar player,' Osbourne later recalled. 'I just thought, 'What the hell am I doing here?''The rock legend, who died at age 76, shared the chaotic details of his post-Sabbath solo debut in a 1990 Guitar World interview that has resurfaced in recent tributes. Osbourne, newly solo and emotionally wrecked, began auditioning musicians for his new band. But the process became anything but screened more than 50 guitarists during the search. Many, he said, came in with bizarre gimmicks. One man played standing on his head. Another shredded guitar while eating a sword. Others insisted on changing keys or argued about basic instructions.'There were all these Eddie Van Halen clones on steroids,' Osbourne said. 'One guy even played like Eddie while eating a f***ing sword.'One auditioner even breakdanced while playing. 'Some of them looked like they should've been in a sideshow at the circus,' Osbourne joked. 'Besides being a great guitarist, you've got to look the part.'Just when he was ready to give up, he came across a soft-spoken, classically trained guitarist named Randy Rhoads . Osbourne wasn't convinced at first. 'He was so frail, tiny, and effeminate,' he said. 'I thought, 'Oh no, oh hell.''But when Rhoads plugged into a tiny amp and began playing, Osbourne, even in a drugged haze, was floored. 'Even in my semi-consciousness, he blew my mind,' he said. He hired Rhoads on the spot, though he had to be reminded the next day that it wasn't a decision proved monumental. Rhoads co-wrote and performed on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman , two of the most influential metal albums of all time. Their partnership ended tragically when Rhoads died in a plane crash in 1982 at just 25.
