Priyanka Chopra ‘opened many doors’ for Indian actors in Hollywood, says The Perfect Couple actor Ishaan Khatter; ‘she’s a trailblazer’

As a long-time admirer of the Indian and Hollywood film industries, I find myself deeply inspired by the journey of Priyanka Chopra. Her meteoric rise to global stardom is truly a testament to her talent, resilience, and unwavering dedication. Ishaan Khatter’s recognition of her trailblazing role in opening doors for Indian actors is spot-on.


Priyanka Chopra made a significant impact on the Indian film industry through her impressive performances in numerous successful movies. Later, she ventured into music before transitioning to Hollywood and achieving international fame. After spending many years abroad, she eventually received the acknowledgment she deserved. However, Ishaan Khatter believes that Priyanka Chopra’s success in Hollywood paved the way for other Indian actors. He referred to her as a ‘pioneer’, expressing his admiration for her accomplishments.

In a recent chat with News 18, I found myself reflecting on a fan’s observation comparing my talents to Priyanka Chopra’s ability to excel in global projects. As for the remarkable woman behind The Sky Is Pink, let me express that she’s truly broken barriers and paved the way for countless others – kudos to her for her trailblazing spirit!

Regarding the comments from fans, the Dhadak star openly expressed his appreciation for their kind words. Despite this, he continues with the same work as before. He’s grateful for the fantastic opportunities coming his way and is eager to take on more projects where the work is of good quality. Rajesh Khattar and Neelima Azeem concurred, saying he will carry on in the same vein and we’ll have to wait and see what the future brings.

Right now, Ishaan is thrilled about the favorable feedback for his American mystery drama miniseries titled The Perfect Couple. In the same conversation, he reminisced about how his brother, actor Shahid Kapoor reacted to watching his portrayal. As the Phone Bhoot star explained, Shahid was surprised and delighted when he heard Ishaan’s accent in the series. “I believe he was genuinely startled by the accent, as it wasn’t something he had anticipated,” Ishaan shared, mentioning that all these choices were made while collaborating with director Susanne Bier.

Moving forward, he additionally expressed his joy and relief upon discovering that his mother didn’t detect any mistakes in his performance as Shooter Dival. This young actor highlighted that Neelima Azeem, who adores him on the show, is a highly skilled actor and artist. Given her expertise, she would have pointed out his flaws to him. However, this didn’t occur, which made him all the more pleased to hear positive feedback from her.
