• Ibrahim patiently waited as the fan shared his home location on Google Maps before exchanging a warm hug and urging him to go home and rest.
• Netizens praised his gesture online, attributing the actor’s empathy to strong family values and calling it evidence of “good parenting.”
• The exchange bolsters public perception of Ibrahim beyond earlier nepotism debates and builds on his openness about overcoming hearing loss and speech challenges caused by childhood jaundice.
