The Royals actor Ishaan Khatter recently opened up on how his mom Neelima raised him and Shahid Kapoor ‘single-handedly’ after divorces. Details inside!
Shahid Kapoor’s actor-brother, Ishaan Khatter, is recently grabbing headlines for his impeccable performance in the recently released Netflix series The Royals alongside Bhumi Pednekar. Now, he opened up on how his mother Neelima Azeem raised him and his brother, Shahid Kapoor, single-handedly after divorces. The actor also talked about ‘women with agency,’ seeing his mom raising them so well.
Ishaan Khatter opened up about his mother Neelima Azeem and how she effortlessly raised them so well. In an interview with News 18, Ishaan Khatter talked about the same and shared, “All I’ve known is a woman with agency. I’ve seen her balance life. She single-handedly not just brought the bread home but also raised two boys.”
For the unversed, Neelima Azeem has been divorced three times. She first married Pankaj Kapur and shared a son, Shahid Kapoor, with him. However, they got divorced in 1984. She then went on to marry Rajesh Khatter, with whom she had Ishaan Khatter but they separated in 2001. Neelima then got married to Ustad Raza Ali Khan; however, their marriage ended in 2009.
The Homebound actor then went on to talk about his recent show The Royals and revealed feeling happy that it doesn’t have ‘pseudo-feministic notion.’ He further added that it is not seeing a man and a woman as equals and as humans but much more than that.
Ishaan also admitted that he is never scared by ‘women with agenda.’ However, he shared that most men can’t stay with a strong woman as a partner.
Meanwhile, Ishaan Khatter also spilled the beans about his first love amid dating rumors with Malaysian model Chandni Bainz. Talking about how opposites attract, just like in The Royals, he admitted he believes in it.
The actor revealed that he has experienced it in terms of love and recalled how his relationship in high school was ‘totally filmi.’ He shared falling in love at sweet sixteen, which began with a dramatic fight in class. The duo then had a heated debate, but Ishaan wasn’t aware he would end up finding her ‘cute’ and ultimately falling in love.
