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.'
