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.

Actors in Bollywood are always conscious about their looks and hence they follow a strict workout regime. While some of these actors have tall, dark and charming looks, others have chiselled physique. But, there is an actor in the industry who is known for his chocolaty looks and has made fans go gaga over him. The actor we are talking about here is someone who is the leading face in Bollywood today. Not just that, this actor has registered many hits to his name. Despite coming from a family filled with actors, the actor in discussion made a name for himself in the industry. If you are wondering who we are discussing, it is Shahid Kapoor. Known for his chocolaty boy and innocent looks, Shahid is one of the leading actors in the industry. Shahid Kapoor made his debut in 2003 with Ishq Vishk. He shared the screen with actress Amrita Rao. The movie turned out to be an instantaneous hit, establishing Shahid Kapoor as a name in the industry. Following Ishq Vishk, Shahid Kapoor featured in many movies which didn't go well for the actor. Movies like Fida, Deewane Huye Paagal and Waah! Life Ho Toh Aisi! turned out to be flops, denting Shahid's career. Coming to Shahid Kapoor's personal life, the actor was born to Pankaj Kapur and Neelima Azeem. The two got married in 1979 and had Shahid Kapoor in 1981. However, their marriage later ended in divorce. In 2006 came a big breakthrough for Shahid when he was cast by Sooraj Barjatya for Vivah. The actor shared screen with his debut co-star Amrita Rao and the movie became an instantaneous hit. Following this, Shahid never looked back. However, while today Shahid is hailed as a big actor in the industry, do you know that in his initial days, the actor faced rejection nearly 100 times—but he never gave up. Today, he stands tall as one of the most recognised faces in the industry.

'Ishq Vishk' fame and former MTV host Shenaz Treasury says 'I pay more rent for my one bedroom apartment in Mumbai than my friend pays for her villa in Bali,' sparks online debate
The actress said in the video, 'I pay more rent for my one bedroom apartment in Mumbai than my friend pays for her villa in Bali.' read more 'Ishq Vishk' fame and former MTV host Shenaz Treasury is now a successful and popular travel blogger and influencer on Instagram. Her recent video of why people are moving to Bali has sparked online debate. The actress said in the video, 'I pay more rent for my one bedroom apartment in Mumbai than my friend pays for her villa in Bali.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD She captioned it really long and said: 'Why are so many people moving to Bali? 1. Cost of Living vs. Lifestyle • You can live in a villa with a pool for the same price (or less) than a 1BHK in Mumbai, London, or LA. • Meals, massages, and transport are affordable — but the quality of life feels high. 2. Remote Work Heaven • Strong expat community, co-working spaces, fast Wi-Fi (especially in Canggu & Ubud). • Bali has become a global hub for entrepreneurs and digital creators who can work from anywhere. 3. Wellness Capital • Yoga, healthy cafés, sound healing, retreats — Bali is basically a wellness playground. • People burnt out by city life often move here to slow down and 'heal.' 4. Creative Energy • The vibe is laid-back, open-minded, and creative. Everyone's working on something — a brand, a book, a business. • You're surrounded by people who left the 9-5 to build their dream life. 5. Nature + Spirituality • Beaches, waterfalls, rice terraces, volcanoes — and a deeply spiritual culture. • Bali's Hindu roots mean temples, rituals, offerings — a constant reminder to pause and connect. 6. Visa Options • Indonesia is offering longer stay digital nomad visas, making it easier for foreigners to settle for months or even years. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 7. Social Life + Dating • It's easy to meet people from around the world — whether you're at a beach club, a breathwork class, or a networking brunch. • A mix of fun, flirtation, and freedom. Yes, I have been thinking about it but don't wanna leave my parents! I've lived out of India for half their life and now that they are older I wanna be around. What about you?!!' What netizens are saying These are the comments that are coming in: Well, I can get triple times size of Home in my Hometown with half of this cost ! How is it comparable? Its a wrong compare. There are equally cheaper places in other good places in India. Bhai we work offline… so whatever the rent or cost of living.. we have ti stay in Mumbai… it's unfair to compare 2 totally different cities. How about Tokyo, new York etc. Omg I need to move to Bali - paying so much rent and just waking up to horns and pollution here. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
