Ishaan Khatter is a charmer who can also dig deep when necessary. The actor left us stunned with his wonderful performance in his Hollywood debut in the webseries The Perfect Couple. In an exclusive interview with The Dirty Magazine, Ishaan revealed about how he deals with anxiety, being hard on himself, his hyper independent personality and a lot more when the conversation veered towards the topic of mental health. Ishaan was asked whether he is happy with himself and who he is; to which he said, “I sleep well at night. I have a good sense of my priorities, my loyalties. I don't worry too much about what people think. There's always self-questioning, that's very important to me. I used to be hard on myself but I'm getting better at that.”

Talking further, he was asked about being hyper-independent, which he replied to, saying, “Yeah, my mom has told me this as an observation about me. I think I've kind of always been that person a little bit. Also, maybe it's the way that my brother and I were raised or her family's values. I don't know what it is, but yes, I think I am.”
Calling himself an obsessive person, Ishaan talked about his mental health. “I have very obsessive tendencies and an addictive personality, which is why I have to be careful with everything that I do. I'm not an anxious person but I can get hyper-fixated on things.” He further revealed that he has never been to therapy but introspects a lot about his childhood and how he is doing a lot of self-work.
He also stated that he is a thinker, saying,“I am an overthinker, but I don't always voice my thoughts. I have a lot of them, maybe I should write. I love notebooks. I buy a lot of them and make random notes.” Continuing further, he also revealed how he sometimes journals his thoughts. “Very haphazardly. I have a lot of notebooks lying around that you'll find notes in at random. When I really like an emotion that is very potent and is bursting out of me, I sit down and just write. I find that I'm able to word it pretty vividly so maybe I should write more.”, he concluded.
