Opening up about how Shahid has been like a father figure in his life, the Dhadak actor revealed that Shahid was his elder brother in many ways. Quoted by Bollywood Shaadis, Ishaan said, “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.” ALSO READ: Shahid Kapoor Revealed He HATED Being Called Cute By His Fans; Says, ‘Never Liked That Word’
