Actor Ishaan Khatter, who romanced a 24 year older Tabu in A Suitable Boy, recalled how the entire process was seamless and how the actress made him feel safe while shooting their intimate scenes 

Actor Ishaan Khatter opened up on shooting for intimate scenes with Tabu in their 2020 show A Suitable Boy. Calling it a "seamless" process, he shared how the actress made him feel safe and comfortable, and their camaraderie reflected on screen as well.

Calling his jodi with Tabu the "perfect casting", Ishaan told Zoom, "I think a lot of it is in the writing. If you were to put Tabu and I in another story, in another piece of writing, where we overlooked the age gap or that we didn't address it, it might have looked out of place. But it was the point written into the story in that way, and the text supported what we were doing, and then we were reading into that."

He went on to say that he was not "freaked out" around Tabu, but rather felt safer, and that they never had to prep or speak about it before shooting for intimate scenes. "She would be talking about random things, like, what do you want for lunch or something, or like, usko dekha kaise aankhe banara tha... She is very naughty, she's like a child on set," he gushed.
