Ishaan Khatter reveals clashing with The Royals makers over objectification in the show: 'I could have worn a shirt in certain scenes'
Ishaan Khatter is making waves internationally, balancing performance with principle. He challenged objectification in 'The Royals,' advocating against unnecessary shirtless scenes, and underwent a significant physical transformation for Neeraj Ghaywan's 'Homebound,' shedding muscle to portray a relatable character. 'Homebound' premiered at Cannes, earning a nine-minute standing ovation and boasting Martin Scorsese as executive producer. Ishaan Khatter is steadily carving a niche for himself on the global stage—not just with his performances, but also with the principles he brings to his craft. From his attention-grabbing Hollywood debut to standing ovations at Cannes, the young actor is unafraid to speak up, even when it means challenging creative decisions. He recently opened up about pushing back against objectification in The Royals, and undergoing a dramatic physical transformation for his next film, Homebound. Speaking to Mashable India, Ishaan shared that while the character he played was written as someone who rarely wore a shirt, he did push back during filming. He explained that he had discussions with the makers on certain days, insisting that being shirtless wasn't necessary for some scenes. Despite the creative ways the team tried to justify it—like casually using a blanket during sleep sequences—Ishaan admitted he stuck to his commitment but made sure to voice his discomfort. Ultimately, he said he enjoyed the experience, even with those moments of disagreement. The Royals featured a star-studded cast including Bhumi Pednekar, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea , and Milind Soman. Despite facing negative reviews from critics—who slammed the show for its shallow plot and underwhelming performances—it managed to become one of Netflix's most-watched shows, proving that star power and glossy appeal still draw in viewers. For his role in The Royals, Ishaan underwent intense training to build muscle and maintain a sculpted physique for his shirtless scenes. However, his next project demanded a complete physical transformation. For Neeraj Ghaywan's Homebound, Ishaan had to shed all that muscle to portray an everyday, relatable character. He revealed that the director specifically asked him to lose the bulk and look "normal" for the role. Committed to the part, Ishaan dropped 8 kilos to fit the vision. Neeraj Ghaywan's second feature film, Homebound, had its world premiere at the recently held 78th Cannes Film Festival, where it earned a remarkable nine-minute standing ovation. The film is co-produced by Karan Johar , with legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese on board as executive producer—adding significant weight to its global appeal.

Ishaan Khatter says he fought with makers over shirtless scenes in The Royals: ‘Iss scene mein kya zarurat hain?'
Actor Ishaan Khatter went shirtless in quite a few scenes for his last release, The Royals, which hit Netflix last month. The actor's washboard abs were the talk of social media for a few days. But did the actor feel there was a tinge of objectification that had slipped into the show? In an interview with Mashable India, Ishaan said that he committed to the project, but even then he 'fought' with the makers over those shirtless scenes. (Also read: Ishaan Khatter says Neeraj Ghaywan told him to lose his muscles for Homebound: 'Don't want to see a single sinew') During the interview, Ishaan said: "It's that kind of character… jo shirt nahi pehenta hai. Usko nahi jamta (He doesn't like wearing a shirt, as simple as that). To be honest, now it will look like… but since I had committed, I went for it, but I did fight with them on certain days that 'Iss scene mein toh shirt pehen sakta hain. Iss scene mein kya zarurat hain (He can wear a shirt in this scene. It doesn't require him to be shirtless)!' They had very interesting ways to put this into the script, like I can put on a blanket while sleeping… but I had fun doing it.' Ishaan went on to add that he did a proper training for the scenes in the film, where he had to do horse-riding. Ishaan added that horse-riding was not as scary as it seemed. He also shared that he had to lose all his muscle mass for Homebound. He said, ''You got to lose the muscles!' I was like, yeah, I can do that, it is easier for me to look like that, and he (director Neeraj Ghaywan) was like, 'No, no.. Ishaan please! I don't want to see a single sinew on your body!' I had to lose about 8-10 kilos again!' The Royals received mixed reviews upon release. Many critics criticised the poor screenplay and the lack of chemistry between Ishaan and Bhumi Pednekar's characters. The show also starred Nora Fatehi, Sakshi Tanwar, Dino Morea, and Zeenat Aman in key roles. Despite mixed reactions, Netflix renewed the show for a second season.

Malaika Arora shares high-energy workout for lower abs that shapes and strengthens the core
Malaika Arora's snatched waist and abs at the age of 51 have everyone swooning and buzzing with curiosity about her fitness routine. She recently took to Instagram to treat her fans to a glimpse of her hardcore ab workout session, sweating it out with impressive dedication and energy. Let's unpack the exercises one by one so that you can include them in your own core workout routine. ALSO READ ON HEALTHSHOTS: Want to burn belly fat? Eat these 10 fruits to shed the extra kilos A post shared by Malaika Arora (@malaikaaroraofficial) Malaika Arora shared an ab workout video on June 5, captioned, 'Your core is your power center—train it like it matters. 💥Try it out! 💪' The video featured leg lifts that, according to her, help 'sculpt lower abs.' She adeptly rested her elbows on the mat, while in a controlled manner, maintaining correct posture and keeping her legs straight, lifted both legs together towards the ceiling, perpendicular to the floor. This classic core move not only targets the lower abdominal muscles but also engages the hips, improving the mobility and the overall lower body flexibility. Malaika labelled the workout as 2x:30, which means 2 sets of 30 reps. Given the vigorous stamina required for the leg lifts, back or hip pain also benefits from this. To elevate the core endurance, you can increase the time, adding more reps. A post shared by Malaika Arora (@malaikaaroraofficial) Let's take this moment to revisit one of her earlier ab workouts, too. Previously, Malaika shared an ab workout which she called the 'hardest ab workout you will ever try.' She posted it back in August 2024, indicating that ab workouts have been a consistent part of her fitness routine. The exercise featured in this video is the Side V-Up. It is performed while lying on one side on the mat, with the legs stacked on top of each other and the bottom arm placed on the floor for support. The other hand, which holds a dumbbell, is extended upwards. The movement involves simultaneously lifting the torso and legs, creating a mild V-formation with the extended arm and legs. This exercise engages multiple core muscles-especially the obliques, which are located on the sides of the abdomen.
