You go get em boy. Show them what you got. Always your proudest cheerleader." Ishaan took to the comments section and responded, "Bas yeh hi toh hai zindagi.

Earlier, Shahid's wife Mira Kapoor had penned a note lauding Ishaan's Homebound. She wrote, "I had the privilege of watching Homebound and struggled on that day and for many days after to put into words how much I felt after watching it. Few movies touch you in a way where silence is the loudest applause and tears are the honest review."
Praising her devar (brother-in-law) and the team, she added, “@ishaankhatter, you have filled our hearts with pride. Fly with your magic and touch the world with your gift. @vishaljethwa, I almost typed Chandan… You became him, and I still keep thinking about your performance. Thank you, @neerajghaywan, for this."
Homebound, helmed by Neeraj Ghaywan, also stars Vishal Jethwa and Janhvi Kapoor in key roles.
