Ishaan Khatter on guarding his love life with girlfriend Chandni Bainz: ‘I act for the cameras, but…'
Actor Ishaan Khatter, who is rumoured to be dating Malaysian model Chandni Bainz, has consistently chosen to keep his personal life away from the spotlight. Although the duo has yet to officially confirm their relationship, their frequent public appearances together have kept the rumour mills buzzing. Recently, the actor opened up about why he believes it's crucial to maintain privacy in matters of the heart. Ishaan Khatter emphasises balancing public life and personal space, stating he won't hide but also won't live for the cameras. Ishaan Khatter on his dating life In a candid and exclusive conversation with Zoom, Ishaan discussed the importance of keeping romantic relationships private, emphasising the need to respect a partner's space, especially when one half of the relationship lives in the spotlight. 'I think it's really important to respect the privacy of your partner as well. You are in the limelight for whatever reason, but people are curious, they want to know. But when something is good, you want to protect it. That's my instinct. I don't want to hide or lie or anything," Ishaan said. While Ishaan made it clear he's not trying to keep his personal life completely private, he draws a firm line between sharing and oversharing. 'I am not going to stop living my life. I am in my 20s and I am not going to hide in a hole. I am not going to not go out and have a meal if I want to—you can't stop living your life. At the same time, I am not going to allow that to dictate how I think and feel and every decision I make. Because you have to be aware of what the conversation is. But if you are doing that, you are living for the cameras. I act for the cameras, but I can't live for the cameras,' Ishaan added. Ishaan Khatter's latest projects Ishaan is gearing up for the release of Homebound, an emotional drama helmed by acclaimed director Neeraj Ghaywan.

Ishaan Khatter Opens Up About Reunion With Janhvi Kapoor: 'We Could Lean Onto Each Other...'
Ishaan Khatter opens up about filming Dhadak with Janhvi Kapoor as they reunite for Neeraj Ghaywan's Homebound, which premiered at Cannes 2025. Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor, who made their Bollywood debut together in Dhadak back in 2018, have reunited after seven years for their upcoming film Homebound. The Neeraj Ghaywan directorial had its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025 in May and is also set to be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Dhadak, directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, was a Hindi adaptation of Nagraj Manjule's acclaimed Marathi film Sairat. The film explored issues of casteism and honour killing and went on to perform well at the box office. The much-anticipated spiritual sequel Dhadak 2, starring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, is slated for release on August 1. Now, ahead of Homebound, Ishaan opened up about his experience of working with Janhvi on Dhadak. In an interview with Zoom, the actor reflected on one of the film's most emotional scenes and shared, 'On Dhadak's set, Janhvi and I could lean onto each other." He further explained, 'My character is going through a lot of conflict. He is trying to be a man for her but he is not able to. He is dealing with his own issues. He has been uprooted from his family. You can see the cracks in him, his vulnerability. He is trying to be supportive, but inevitably he's dealing with his own demons." In Homebound, Ishaan stars alongside Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa. The story follows two childhood friends—Shoaib Ali (played by Ishaan) and Chandan Kumar (played by Vishal)—who hail from a North Indian village and are determined to break free from the burden of their marginalised identities. However, a series of events leads to internal and external conflicts that test their bond. While the film has already garnered international attention at Cannes, its theatrical release date is still under wraps. Homebound marks a significant reunion for Ishaan and Janhvi, and fans are excited to see the duo together on screen once again.
