Ishaan Khatter has just given his fans a serious case of style envy and star-studded FOMO straight from Milan. The actor, riding high on the success of his film, Homebound, swapped the film set for the front row at the BOSS fashion show. His Instagram feed became the talk of the town after he posted pictures rubbing shoulders with legends from the worlds of sport and music, in a crossover moment that nobody saw coming. It was an A-lister’s coup, all thanks to his Milan Fashion Week appearance that pushed his growing international appeal.

What happened at the BOSS show?

Well, it wasn't just about the clothes, though Ishaan certainly looked the part in a tailored grey striped suit. He was seated right in the thick of things, which is how he found himself next to HUGO BOSS CEO Daniel Grieder and, more importantly for everyone watching online, David Beckham.

The photos tell the story better than words can. There's one of them sitting side-by-side, and then another where they're sharing a proper, genuine-looking hug. It looked like two guys who were actually happy to see each other, and that casualness is what made the moment stick.

How did the meeting with S.Coups unfold?

This one really broke the internet for a specific section of fans. In another frame, Ishaan is all smiles alongside SEVENTEEN's leader, S.Coups, who was making his runway debut for BOSS. The collision of Bollywood and K-pop is always a recipe for online chaos, and this was no different.

Indian fans of SEVENTEEN, who call themselves 'Carats', completely lost their minds in the comments. One fan perfectly captured the surprise, writing they never expected Ishaan to use a SEVENTEEN song for his post.

What does this mean for Ishaan Khatter’s career?

You have to look at the timing. This Milan Fashion Week dash isn't just a holiday, but a strategic move. When you’re snapped sharing a laugh with David Beckham, that image does a lot of heavy lifting. It’s the kind of thing that puts an actor on the map for people who might not follow Bollywood closely. His film, Homebound, is India's official entry for the 2026 Oscars and hits cinemas imminently.


And let’s be honest, that kind of buzz with the chic Milan photos and the A-list encounters, it all bleeds into the conversation about Homebound. It adds a certain weight and a touch of prestige that makes you sit up and take notice just as the film is about to hit theatres.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
