Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor’s half-brother Ishaan Khatter said in a recent interview he changed more houses than his age during his childhood.
“All my schooling was in Juhu. I was in Jamnabai for 10 years. Then I went to a school called Billabong High. For two years I tried to make sense of life as I was used to my friends. I had studied in one school till 8th grade. I always moved homes as we lived in rented houses. It was what people called the Bombay struggling lifestyle. By the time I was 16, I had lived in 17 houses. So, I was changing more houses than my age,” Ishaan said during a candid conversation with Mid-Day.
“When I changed school, the one social set I was used to had shifted. I was also making my peace with that… Then I started dancing. I told my mom that when I left Jamnabai in 8th grade, my academics started falling,” the talented young actor shared.
Ishaan, the son of actors Neelima Azeem and Rajesh Khattar, had a humble upbringing away from the glitz of tinsel town.
Ishaan was last seen in the Netflix rom-com ‘The Royals’ which also featured Bhumi Pednekar, Nora Fatehi, Zeenat Aman, Vihaan Samat, and Sakshi Tanwar.
Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the story revolved around a royal family and their financial woes in modern-day India.
