In a new interview with an Indian media outlet, young actor Ishaan Khatter credited Priyanka Chopra for expanding the opportunities for Bollywood celebrities to Hollywood, as he got compared to the latter for his international debut.
Reacting to a fan comment for him, which read, “One of India’s finest actors. Hollywood will (value you)! Best of luck. You’ll be right up there with the likes of Priyanka Chopra,” the ‘Dhadak’ actor said, “She’s opened so many doors and she’s a trailblazer so many, many props to her for that.”
Further responding to the comparison, Khatter added, “That’s a lovely thing to say. I am still doing the same thing (that I was previously). I am fortunate to receive these wonderful opportunities”
“I am most keen to go wherever the good work is and I am going to continue to do that and let’s see what the future has in store,” he concluded.
It is worth noting here that Chopra was once in a relationship with Khatter’s half-brother and A-list actor Shahid Kapoor.
