I think I’ve always been a little bit like that. Also, maybe it’s because of the way my brother and I were raised or the values her family has. I don’t know what it is, but yeah, I think that’s who I am.”
Calling himself an obsessive person, Ishaan opened up about his mental health. “I have obsessive tendencies and an addictive personality, which is why I have to be careful in everything I do. I’m not an anxious person, but I tend to worry too much about things.” He further added that he has never taken therapy, but he thinks a lot about his childhood and he is working a lot on himself.
He also stated that he is a thinker, saying, "I think a lot, but I don't always express my thoughts. I have a lot of ideas, maybe I should write it down. I love notebooks. I buy a lot of them and make random notes." Elaborating further, he also explained how he sometimes writes his thoughts in a journal. "Very randomly. I have a lot of notebooks lying around, you'll find random notes. When I have like a feeling that's very powerful and bursts out of me, I sit down and just write it down. I think I can express it very clearly in words, so maybe I should write more.", he concluded.
