Why Ishaan Khatter wasn’t ‘freaked out’ doing intimate scenes with Tabu in A Suitable Boy? Actor explains

More recently, Ishaan Khatter garnered global notice by attending the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. His upcoming movie, Homebound, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan, received an impressive 9-minute standing ovation during its premiere. In a recent conversation, Ishaan shared insights on working alongside Tabu, mentioning that he remained surprisingly composed while shooting intimate scenes for A Suitable Boy. He further stated, ” frankly speaking, with an actress like Tabu, it’s as if there’s no need for words.

During a chat over Zoom, Ishaan Khatter shared insights about his time working on A Suitable Boy, emphasizing the memorable dynamic he shared with Tabu on screen.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say I observed an exceptional fit between the characters, largely attributed to the power of the script. In another tale where their age gap wasn’t thoughtfully woven into the narrative, their pairing could potentially seem unnatural.

In other words, because the story was designed to include that complex relationship, it added richness to their acting and made their depiction feel more genuine.

 

In a subsequent statement, the actor from “The Royals” commended Tabu, likening their collaboration to an intuitive exchange. He expressed that their work together flowed effortlessly, requiring minimal dialogue or planning regarding their respective roles.

As a faithful follower, I’ll confess that during our intimate scenes, I wasn’t anxious in the slightest; instead, I found myself feeling remarkably at ease because I was working alongside someone I trusted implicitly. I can’t help but emphasize that Tabu not only grasped my performance but frequently took it to new heights. This, I assert, is the genuine enchantment of collaborating with an actor of her stature.

He also mentioned that Tabu’s playful disposition on set contributed to a laid-back environment. Ishaan remembered how she frequently partook in casual, jovial exchanges, acting like a kid at times, which made collaborating with her delightful. Yet, her playfulness did not hinder her ability to swiftly transition into her character when the situation called for it.

He shared that a significant part of their job was about making the script come alive, incorporating layers of depth and emotion, even without spoken words. In his words, they managed to communicate subtly yet profoundly with each other, typically using only their eyes.
