Last month on Shahid Kapoor's birthday, Ishaan Khatter took to Instagram and called him his tree. He wrote, 'My elder tree, I may grow taller or even bushier but it's all because of your shade and nurturing. Love you and trouble you always. Happy birthday bade miyan @shahidkapoor.'

Ishaan referred to him as a tree because it is his elder brother who keeps him grounded.

'We joke about it a lot, I call him 'Baba Sasha', but it's who he is and he is that one person in my life who is like a consistent male figure who has always kept me in check. I think he has felt very parental towards me also because he changed my diapers. He was nearly 15 years old when I was born and he didn't have an elder sibling. So he was that sibling for me. He is very much the quintessential elder brother in many ways. But he is also young at heart so we have a very unique relationship,' the Phone Bhoot actor further added.

Ishaan Khatter And Shahid Kapoor's Bike Trips

Speaking about their adventurous bike trips and exploring new places, Khatter said, "We've done it twice so far and it has probably been one of the most thrilling adventures that we have had together. Because it's so nice to travel on the road. You end up seeing places otherwise you never would. You live in some sleepy little village, or some town you would have never heard of in your life otherwise. So far we have done these trips overseas, but we hope to do a lot more, and hope to cover some ground here as well."

He further said, "In my teens, I have traveled our country a fair amount so I'm a little fascinated by traveling abroad still, so we're very lucky to get to do these bike trips and live in these little interesting places that you've never even heard of. This past year, we did a trip in the South of France and it was really cool. We did nine days of riding. And it is one of the best ways to travel.'
