People presume that just because I am Shahid Kapoor's brother, I must have studied in an international school, gone out on foreign vacations, and had a certain kind of upbringing. But the truth is quite different, and I am very proud of where I come from.

Ishaan Khatter

It was a great learning experience to work with all the stalwarts associated with 'Beyond the Clouds.' It's indeed a strong team to be working with.

I like to mix it up, so I do Parkour, play football, dance... I am a dancer, essentially.

I believe if you are sincere with your work and you are good at it, then your identity will be created by default.

Work Good Your

I wasn't very academically inclined, growing up as a child, and the only subject I was good at was English. I had a flair for it, since I came from a literary background.

During college, I found academics repulsive and forced myself to study subjects I didn't want to pursue.

As for my father, I developed a friendly equation with him once I grew up. He has seen 'BTC' and has loved it.

Shahid's been a big influence in my life.

I think of 'Beyond The Clouds' very fondly. Yes, it has not been seen by a lot of people in theatres. I had anticipated more people would watch it. But that has to do with something I don't know well: marketing. A lot of people didn't even know that it was a Hindi film.

'Dhadak' was the first film I was meant to do. And it is very close to my heart.

Shahid is a paternal figure to me. He's almost like a teacher. All my life, I've learned so much by watching him. I can't possibly consider him as competition to me. In fact, I would say, we're a team.

I am emotionally strong, passionate, empathetic, and sensitive towards others, especially the people I love.

'Pressure' is not a word that I associate with very much; it is a matter of perspective. It depends on your disposition as a person. It can either be that you are pressurised by something, or you can be motivated and encouraged by it.

'Sairat' is such a consuming movie, so I was stuck into its story. It has such a poignant end that I was quite moved by it.

I love to play varied roles. That's the most exciting thing for me.

There are a lot of people who are overly judgemental on the Internet.

There was a day when I woke up and realised that I had to pinch myself, since I was going to work with Majid Majidi.

My mother has brought me up in a manner that has allowed me to retain my values, ideologies, and philosophies. I was let loose, just enough to develop an individual personality.

I would be open to doing cinema anywhere in the world. I wouldn't want to restrict myself to a certain kind of cinema or a certain language or get typecast.

I am extremely eclectic in choosing my films as an audience, and as a direct result of that, I love exploring, I love cinema, and I love learning from different experiences.

Ishaan Khatter

Love Learning Experience

I feel I have learnt a lot on the sets of 'Beyond The Clouds,' and it will be a life-long learning for me.

Ishaan Khatter

I have been around in Pune. I was here to shoot my first film, 'Beyond The Clouds,' at a vegetable market. I remember the pungent smells were so overwhelming, and I've seen the biggest jackfruits and pumpkins there. It was a fun experience.

Ishaan Khatter

I want to be a part of films that elate me and resonate with me.

Ishaan Khatter

I am most passionate about dancing and acting, so performing was my focus, always. Even before I was old enough to be serious about it, I was always meddling with things - dancing all over the place and performing for my family.

Ishaan Khatter

I've worked towards self-development as an aspiring artiste. I've been most passionate about dancing and acting, so I have followed it obsessively.

Ishaan Khatter

When there is hate or negative comment, I try to ignore it and try to not bother myself with such stuff.

Ishaan Khatter

I believe it's always important to listen to the call of your heart.

The first time I met Janhvi on the sets, I took her to watch 'La La Land,' because she hadn't seen it. Soon, we started bonding over cinema - both of us are film buffs - and we realised we share a natural equation.

Ishaan Khatter

I have no intention to make a name for myself and to separate my identity from my brother's name. I am proud to be identified as Shahid's brother. There is no shame in it.

Ishaan Khatter

I managed to make my debut with my favourite, Majid Majidi, whereas 'Dhadak' is giving me a huge mass exposure.

Ishaan Khatter

My acting style changes according to the way a character is imagined.

Ishaan Khatter

I was very young when my parents separated, and later, my mother remarried.

Ishaan Khatter

I used to think Janhvi was a quiet girl, but she is a big bully.

Ishaan Khatter

Janhvi is a goofball. She is unintentionally funny sometimes. Even intentionally, to give her due credit!

Ishaan Khatter

I haven't studied acting formally, so my 'university' was watching a lot cinema.

Ishaan Khatter

When I was 16, I watched a lot of world cinema. I borrowed a lot of my personality from cinema. It has been one of my biggest teachers.

Ishaan Khatter

I enjoy Instagram because it is a visual medium platform, with more photographs.

Ishaan Khatter

I never attended any acting school, though I've done theatre workshops a couple of times, and it has been an extremely enriching experience. But beyond that, I don't want to acquire the skills of acting and use them on camera. I'd rather learn on the job.

Ishaan Khatter

I don't think I can live a life of compromise. If I did, I wouldn't be able to sleep properly.

Ishaan Khatter

For me, what's important is to be inspired and keep moving to grow as an artist and as a person.

Ishaan Khatter

I have been passionate about dancing and acting as long as I I can remember. It was a natural progression to make it my passion, pursue it, learn more about it, and develop myself as a performer.

Ishaan Khatter

Both my brother and mother are actors and dancers. Of course my mom, who is a Kathak exponent, is the most established dancer amongst the three of us.

People presume that just because I am Shahid Kapoor's brother, I must have studied in an international school, gone out on foreign vacations, and had a certain kind of upbringing. But the truth is quite different, and I am very proud of where I come from.

Ishaan Khatter

If you go to Udaipur, even the locals from the lower middle class have a certain air about them. They are very proud of their heritage and history.

Ishaan Khatter

Movies have only fascinated me; they've cultivated me, made me the person I am today.

Ishaan Khatter

A lot of people have their own idea of how you need to conduct yourself. But I think it's important to be spontaneous and honest, because what's frightening in the process of being correct is that you might lose yourself.

Ishaan Khatter

I believe that the environment at home has been fairly secular and liberal. And most times, it comes from my mother. Our culture is very strong, but at the same time, she's a very free-spirited person. She's an artiste, and that's the environment I grew up in, where films and music were respected and meditated upon.

Ishaan Khatter

Working with Janhvi is great. She has the best energy on set. She brings smiles on people's faces. She is very dedicated and sincere.

Ishaan Khatter

I have only got encouragement and lessons from my family, so I don't associate negative things like pressure with them.

Ishaan Khatter

Our family is in love with this profession, and I am really fortunate that I have got an opportunity to prove myself and to do what I love to do... My effort will be to put my heart and soul in my work, and I will try to make not only my family but the entire country happy with my work.
