Ishaan is actor Neelima Azeem and her ex-husband Rajesh Khattar’s son; they divorced in 2001. Before Ishaan, Neelima had Shahid Kapoor with Pankaj Kapur. Later, Neelima married Raza Ali Khan and parted ways in 2009.

Talking about Shahid, Ishaan recently told Pinkvilla, “He is the person who grounds me. He is a very rooted, grounded person. And he is very deep. It's a very big part of who he is.” He also revealed Shahid's nickname and added, “We joke about it a lot, I call him 'Baba Sasha', but it's who he is and he is that one person in my life who is like a consistent male figure who has always kept me in check. I think he has felt very parental towards me also because he changed my diapers. He was nearly 15 years old when I was born and he didn't have an elder sibling. So he was that sibling for me. He is very much the quintessential elder brother in many ways. But he is also young at heart so we have a very unique relationship.”

Ishaan was last seen in Phone Bhoot. He will be next starring in the war-drama, Pippa. On the other hand, Shahid's last outing was Farzi, which marked his OTT debut on Prime Video.
