Ishaan Khatter is one of the most versatile talents in Bollywood amidst his generation of actors. He made his debut with the film, Beyond The Clouds. However, he received widespread acclaim with the film, Dhadak opposite Janhvi Kapoor. Being the sibling of Shahid Kapoor, and son of actor parents, Neelima Azeem and Rajesh Khatter, Ishaan has carved his own mettle in Bollywood. Since he belongs from a background of highly established stars, Ishaan has always been faced with the pressure of being compared to all of them. However, he has gracefully answered them with his charming looks, breakthrough dance forms and incomparable acting mettle.
In a recent interview with Mashable India, Ishaan Khatter opened up about an unheard childhood anecdote of his life, where he revealed bonding with the legendary actor, Amitabh Bachchan at quite a young age. He mentioned that he visited the sets of Amitabh’s then-film, Sooryavansham, along with his mother, who played a part in it. Elaborating more on it, he mentioned:

“My mom did a film with him called Sooryavansham. I was 2-3 years old at the time. Mom used to take me to the set with her because I was too young and she didn’t have a nanny. So I was with her on the set and Amitabh Bachchan came. I had seen his film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. I saw him and started screaming ‘bale miyan, bale miyan’. He noticed me. So we kind of became friends apparently. I used to pull his beard or something like that.”

In his words:
“At that time, she was trying to get me admitted into a school and Jamnabai was then one of the nicest schools. She was having trouble getting admission for me there and he very kindly, personally went and spoke to the authorities.”
