What did Ishaan Khattar say on religion?
Ishaan Khattar said in a recent interview, “For me, really. That’s my idea about India is that when you grow up in a home that is pluralistic, secular or just open or liberal, you also grow up, like me, going to temples, mosques, churches, trying to absorb the beauty of all these religions, cultures and faiths.” He also said that his background may be Hindu and Muslim, but he is completely human.
Describing diversity as the real strength of India, Ishaan further said, “In this sense, we are a big democracy. When you go to a place like New York or London, you realize that it is a cultural center or a confluence of so many cultures. Perhaps this is the progressive way. This leads to a lot of development in the society. There is an opportunity to have different viewpoints and different strengths of different people come to the fore.” He further said that India will maintain its openness and liberalism.
