Recently, while talking to indianexpress.com, the actor said, “The most consistent feedback I’ve received is that I look very young.” He carried on, “When I started I was 21.
For the longest time, the most consistent feedback that I would get is that I look very young. For better or for worse, we don’t write a lot of complex and layered roles for young faces and young actors here. So, I was very fortunate that I got to start with the likes of Maji Majidi and Mira (Nair) di two-three years down the line.”
Talking about his career path, Ishaan admits to not planning too much. He said, “I have never been overly strategised. I’ve also largely been lucky and had such opportunities. I have only been six years into my career and I have had wonderful opportunities. I have always strived for my work to be diverse, I was never attached to making a name in any one particular industry. Even now when I am asked, if I want to work more in the West or here, my honest answer is wherever the good work is. I am going to try to make the most of the opportunities that I receive and do justice to them. At the moment I am enjoying this because I think it is a blessing that I got a start that one would idealise and hope to have.”

On the personal front, the actor is rumoured to be dating model Chandni Bainz, with whom he was first spotted in September last year. He recently confirmed that he is in a relationship, however, chose to keep the details private. While he didn’t mention his partner’s name, Ishaan shared insights into why he prefers not to publicly ‘launch’ his relationships.
Reflecting on his past experiences, including his previous rumored relationship with his Khaali Peeli co-star
Ananya Panday, Ishaan told The Dirty Magazine, “I like guarding my private life and I’ll keep it that way, so no hard launches. I’ve been in relationships with actresses — actors (he corrects himself) — and I’ve been in a relationship with someone who is not as established as me so I’m very aware of how it affects the women I’m with. But you can’t control where you’re gonna be seen, where you’re gonna be photographed, when it’s gonna come out, how it’s gonna come out, what people are gonna say… so I’m a bit protective.”
Ishaan also opened up about his personal growth, saying that he believes he is a good partner, despite having flaws. He mentioned that he has worked on improving himself through past relationships, acknowledging that his biggest flaw might be being overly emotional.
Ishaan is currently making his Hollywood debut in the web series The Perfect Couple, starring Nicole Kidman. Directed by Susanne Bier, the series is based on the novel by American author Elin Hilderbrand.
