# Ishaan Khatter and Chandni Bainz split amicably, source confirms 2026-08-24T20:11:41+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Actor Ishaan Khatter and model Chandni Bainz have ended their relationship amicably, a source confirmed to Hindustan Times. The pair, rumoured to be dating for over a year, never publicly confirmed their relationship but were frequently spotted together. Hindustan Times reports they have not been seen together in recent months. The source said Khatter is focusing on his career. He will start shooting for season two of The Royals in September and has the film Jugaadu upcoming. NDTV reports the couple split after nearly three years. Both outlets describe the separation as amicable and Khatter as prioritising his acting work. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets report a breakup on good terms, sourced identically and without conflict. Hindustan Times provides more context: the couple's past public appearances, the lack of official confirmation, and Ishaan's upcoming projects. NDTV is briefer, stating a three-year timeline the other outlet does not mention. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, the difference is only in length. Readers should note that neither outlet quotes Chandni Bainz, leaving her side unreported. The shoots Ishaan begins in September will test whether this new phase affects his work output. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Leads with exclusive source confirmation and adds career context, no critical framing. - ndtv.com (neutral report) Short wire-style report, adds three-year unspecified timeline This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
