Ishaan Khatter's mother & Bollywood actor Neelima Azeemhas opened up about her son's bond with his rumoured girlfriend Ananya Panday. Calling Ananya a part of their 'inner family', Neelima said that she is an important part of Ishaan's life.
Talking about Ananya being an important part of their lives, the veteran actress said, "I can say that she (Ananya) has also learnt dancing from me. She is a part of our inner circle and family circle. She is a good friend of Shahid (Kapoor) and Mira (Rajput). And obviously, she is an important part of Ishaan's life. I would say that they are great buddies and good companions. With his friends also, she fits in very well. "
Neelima further heaped praise on Ananya's performance in Gehraiyaan and said, "As far as I am concerned, I think that she always showed talent from the time she came. But with Gehraiyaan, she has come shining through. Not only me but everyone is appreciating her talent and her realistic, intelligent performance. She has been highly appreciated in Gehraiyaan. I am very happy about it."
Ishaan and Ananya worked together in 2020 film Kaali Peeli. The actor have been rumored to be dating each other ever since.
