Shahid is my teacher, mentor: Ishaan Khatter
‘In the past I have shared with my brother and mother about the work that I am going to do. I think if you are close to somebody, you tend to share something that is so important to you and films are a very important part of my life’
MUMBAI: Actor Ishaan Khatter, who is close to his brother and actor Shahid Kapoor, says he discusses his professional choices with him.
“In the past I have shared with my brother and mother about the work that I am going to do. I think if you are close to somebody, you tend to share something that is so important to you and ilms are a very important part of my life,” Ishaan said in a statement to IANS.
“And because he is part of the same industry, it is much easier for him to understand. He doesn’t demand that I share everything with him or my mother. But I like to share things with my mother and brother,” he added.
Ishaan made his ilm debut with Iranian ilmmaker Majid Majidi’s Beyond The Clouds, but Dhadak marked Ishaan’s entry in Bollywood. An adaptation of Marathi hit Sairat, Dhadak marked the much-awaited Bollywood foray of Janhvi Kapoor. It will ind its way on the Indian small screen on Sunday on Zee Cinema.
On his love for dance, he said :“actually my mother was the irst dancer in our family and she is the most accomplished of us all as a dancer. I don’t think I was even conscious that my brother was a dancer when I started dancing, I was very young.” “I deinitely share dance with him. We are very passionate about dance and he is the more experienced dancer. He has been a mentor and he has taught me dance a lot of different techniques. So he deinitely is my teacher and mentor,” he added.
If not and actor, what would you be? “I would either be a dancer or do something else related to cinema in the creative department or I would just be an explorer,” he said.
Ishaan Khatter says Dhadak brought a positive change in his life, and now he wants to challenge himself by recognising the right opportunities.
“The ilm brought a positive change in my life by bringing me together with some very special people,” Ishaan told IANS while explaining how his life changed after Dhadak.
“As for my professional life, more people have seen my work and hopefully that will have a positive effect on the opportunities I receive in the future,” he added.
