Ishaan Khatter Redefines Masculinity in Indian Cinema

Ishaan Khatter is a Bollywood actor who was raised by a single mother.

He talked about how society teaches men to be masculine by telling them not to be like women.

He believes that his understanding of being a man comes from being raised by his mother and working with female filmmakers.

He has worked with many female directors like Mira Nair, which has helped him understand different perspectives in storytelling.

His recent projects include a movie called Homebound, which is India's official entry to the Oscars, and a Netflix series called The Royals.

Ishaan thinks that understanding different points of view is important for acting and life.
