Remembering his grandmother, Ishaan wrote, "Ammi, you instilled wit, fire, knowledge, perseverance, purpose and meaning in all of us. Freedom fighter, writer, translator, editor, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, friend, confidant - you were so many things and more. They don’t make them like you anymore. Blessed to have had you in my life. I’ll carry a small piece of your vast presence with me always. You’ll never be forgotten by anybody whose life you deeply impacted."

Ishaan also shared photographs of his late grandmother. "In the first picture on the left, my Nani - Khadija Azeem - with her sister and my grand aunt, Shahida ammi.
