Actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood has spoken out in support of newcomers in the film industry amid growing online criticism of Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, who were recently seen in the Netflix film Nadaaniyan.

On Saturday, Sood took to his Instagram Story to share a message urging people to be "kinder to debutants." He also emphasized that "nobody is perfect" when starting out, as every artist learns and improves with experience.
