Ishaan Khatter reveals unique bond with Shahid Kapoor and playfully teases his 'Vampire' secret

Bollywood heartthrob Ishaan Khatter, currently riding the wave of success with his latest release, the war drama film Pippa, has opened up about his distinctive relationship with elder brother and actor Shahid Kapoor. In a recent interview, Ishaan shed light on the dynamics of their sibling bond, emphasizing the 'friction' inherent in such relationships.

Highlighting the unconventional nature of their bond due to a significant 15-year age gap, Ishaan referred to Shahid as more than just a brother, dubbing him a "father figure" and the "predominant male figure" in his life. Despite the atypical age difference, Ishaan expressed deep respect for Shahid, creating a relationship that goes beyond traditional brotherly dynamics.

In a playful tone, Ishaan teased Shahid about his 'eternally youthful' appearance, jokingly suggesting a supernatural secret to his age-defying looks. "Everyone looks at him now and says that we two are only a few years apart. I think he's a vampire, he drinks blood (laughs)," quipped Ishaan. This light-hearted banter showcased the camaraderie and affection that define their relationship.

Ishaan Khatter's recent success with Pippa, directed by Raja Krishna Menon, where he portrays Captain Balram Singh Mehta during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, has been met with positive critical acclaim. The film, featuring Mrunal Thakur, Soni Razdan, and Priyanshu Painyuli, has added another feather to Ishaan's cap.

Looking ahead, Ishaan is set to make his mark internationally with the web series The Perfect Couple, co-starring Nicole Kidman. Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor has been receiving accolades for his recent projects, including the well-received Raj and DK's web series Farzi and Ali Abbas Zafar's action thriller Bloody Daddy. Fans are eagerly anticipating Shahid's next move, a yet-to-be-titled romantic movie with Kriti Sanon.
