Ibrahim Ali Khan Uses His Real Voice in Wrogn Ad, Embraces Lisp: “Perfection Is Overrated”

The campaign signals a public shift toward owning a long-treated speech impairment following reports of dubbing in earlier films.

Overview

  • In a new spot for Virat Kohli’s fashion label Wrogn, Ibrahim Ali Khan dubs his own lines and lets his lisp be heard.
  • He centers the message on authenticity, saying “Perfection is just overrated” and writing that “what’s real is far more powerful than what’s perfect.”
  • Comments on his Instagram post largely praised the choice as honest and relatable, according to the outlets reporting on the launch.
  • Coverage notes his first two releases, Nadaaniyan and Sarzameen, drew poor reviews, and his voice was reportedly dubbed in both, while director Kayoze Irani has said a character’s stammer was scripted.
  • He has previously attributed his speech difficulties to severe neonatal jaundice that affected his hearing and says he continues therapy and coaching.
