CONFIRMED: Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan set to make his Bollywood debut

News of Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khattar making his Bollywood debut is doing the rounds on the internet for quite some time now. We heard Ishaan was going to be launched by Karan Johar with the sequel of ‘Student Of The Year’ but no concrete confirmation on the same was there. Now, Shahid and Ishaan’s mother Neelima Azim has opened up and she almost confirmed what we were assuming!

“I can’t talk about Ishaan’s debut as the makers have their own plans of making an announcement. All I can say is that I am thrilled that my second child, too, is becoming an actor. My children are hugely blessed by God! I am so grateful to him for taking care of both my children. They have been brought up in a great cultural mahaul — literature, music, art, culture, poetry and dance, and are extremely hard-working and talented,” she said.

Azim herself is a renowned Katthak dancer and we already know where Shahid’s fantabulous dancing skills come from. It’s the same with Ishaan, reveals the proud mother.  “Ishaan like Shahid is a fabulous dancer himself. All three of us are very passionate about dancing. My children’s dancing talent developed under the influence and the blessings of my guruji Pandit Birju Maharaj, who is very close to both my sons. My mother Khadija Azim had famous poets in her family. She belongs to the family of KA Abbas. My father Anwar Azim, was a prominent journalist and Urdu author, so my children have imbibed all this culture at home,” she says.

Now, that leaves zero space for any doubt. We are dying to watch Ishaan out on the big screen!

Rumours also have it that Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara would be the leading lady in the same film. Looks like another dazzling on-screen pair is in the making!
