In a recent interview with NDTV, Ishaan Khatter shared a beautiful piece of advice that he received from his brother, Shahid Kapoor. The latter advised him, "Be the sun, be the source yourself. Don't try to find the light that's shining off of somebody else. Just be your person and trust what you are bringing to the table." So, Shahid encouraged Ishaan to be himself and have confidence in what he brings.

When asked if Shahid had been a strict critic or if he had no flaw to point out, Ishaan explained that his brother hadn't always been 'appreciative.' He said Shahid's praise meant a lot to him because it's genuine. Ishaan added that the Haider actor has also always been honest, giving both positive and negative feedback from the very start.

Meanwhile, Ishaan Khatter's recent project, The Royals, can be streamed on Netflix. It was released on May 9, 2025. He plays the role of Aviraaj Singh, a prince. The royal romantic comedy marks his first collaboration with Bhumi Pednekar, who portrays Sophia Shekhar, an entrepreneur.
