Ishaan Khatter recalls getting fame for simply being Shahid Kapoor's brother: ‘I never tried to shine in his light'
Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor began his journey as a background dancer and later rose to fame with his film Ishq Vishk. The actor had established himself as a star by the time his brother Ishaan Khatter entered the industry. Now, in an interview with Zoom, Ishaan opened up about being recognised as Shahid's brother. (Also Read: Ishaan Khatter calls Tabu 'naughty', says intimate scenes with her happened seamlessly in A Suitable Boy) He recalled being photographed for the first time during Shahid's wedding to Mira Rajput and said, "When my brother got married was the first time that there was media and paparazzi. That whole thing had started to blow up, along with social media. I was photographed, and after that, I was spotted and recognised at a few places. At least in my case, it wasn't by design. But obviously, you're known as someone's brother." He further explained that although Shahid's parents, Pankaj Kapur and Neelima Azeem, were working professionals and actors, neither of them were stars. However, he had an elder brother who was a star. He added that he is proud of Shahid and said, "I had an elder brother whose act to follow would be… like he's a movie star! But I never tried to shine in his light because everyone wants to be known for their own personality, right? If people photograph me and know me because I'm his brother, that's obvious, because I haven't done anything they know me for. So my focus was just to work. I have to tread my own path and make my own life. I'm totally fine with it being slow and steady. I'm in no rush to show people, 'This is who I am.' I'd much rather show it with my work." For the uninitiated, Ishaan and Shahid are half-brothers. Neelima Azeem married actor Pankaj Kapur in 1979 and welcomed their son, Shahid Kapoor, in 1981. However, their marriage did not last long, and they parted ways. In 1988, Pankaj married Supriya Pathak, and in 1990, Neelima married Rajesh Khattar. She welcomed her son, Ishaan, in 1995. Shahid was last seen in the film Deva, which failed to perform well at the box office. He will next be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's action thriller Arjun Ustara, which also stars Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar and Randeep Hooda in key roles. The release date of the film is yet to be announced. Ishaan, on the other hand, has the premiere of his film Homebound at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Helmed by Neeraj Ghaywan and backed by Karan Johar, the film also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa. It received a nine-minute standing ovation at the festival.

‘India doesn't provoke': Shahid Kapoor lauds Operation Sindoor with a powerful message only to change it later
In the early hours of May 7, Indian Armed Forces carried out Operation Sindoor — targeted strikes on nine terror hideouts, four in Pakistan and five in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). This was in response to the heinous terror attack which took place in South Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22. Around 26 innocent men were shot to death after being asked their religion. Soon after the report surfaced on news channels and the internet, many Indian celebrities lauded the Armed Forces. Kangana Ranaut wrote, 'Jo hamaari rakhsha karte hain, ishwar unki rakhsha kare. Wishing our forces safety and success #operationsindoor,' whereas Akshay Kumar shared, 'Jai Hind 🇮🇳 Jai Mahakaal 🚩.' Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor was also in the list of celebrities who reacted to Operation Sindoor on social media. His message, along with a picture of a fighter jet, was impactful and powerful. However, Shahid later changed the caption and even turned off the comments under his post, leaving the internet puzzled. Earlier, the caption of his post read, 'India doesn't provoke. But India never forgets. #operationsindoor.' Now, the post simply says, '🇮🇳 #operationsindoor.' The comment section is not visible as it has been deactivated, which is why it's not clear if trolling was the reason that forced Shahid to take this decision. Last month, after the Pahalgam terror attack, Shahid had tweeted, 'Innocent lives lost in Pahalgam. Nothing but pain comes out of such cowardly acts of terrorism. This is not what anyone's god would ever accept. Jo jo karam karega tu use hi hoga bharna. Praying for the families dealing with the immeasurable loss. 🙏🏼.' On the work front, Shahid was last seen in the action thriller film Deva alongside Pooja Hegde. Up next, Shahid is all set to reunite with his Haider (2014) director Vishal Bhardwaj for Arjun Ustara, which is also an action thriller.
