He’s played lovers, taxi drivers, street rats and rich brats. He’s not the token Brown boy. Ishaan Khatter tells us why he’s a career chameleon

Is Ishaan Khatter doing this on purpose? He’s only 29. His acting career only goes back seven years. And yet, his resume packs more diversity than those who’ve been facing the camera for decades.

Ishaan Khatter has been in a biopic, a comedy, a blockbuster, and a period drama. What can’t he do? (ROHAN SHRESTHA)

In The Perfect Couple, the actor is hardly the token desi – there’s no Indian accent, no digs about curry.

Khatter’s debut was in Majid Majidi’s 2017 film, Beyond the Clouds.

Khatter played a taxi driver in the masala entertainer Khaali Peeli opposite Ananya Panday.

In A Suitable Boy, the actor played Tabu’s lover. He says she has a naughty sense of humour.

Khatter wouldn’t mind being on the reality show Squid Game, just for the craziness of it. (ROHAN SHRESTHA)
