It is believed they dated for about three years, during which time they were frequently spotted together, before splitting last year.
Appearing on popular talk show Koffee with Karan, Ishaan was asked whether he “broke up” with Ananya.
He replied: “Did I? Because you said she broke up with me recently.”
The host of the show probed further, asking Ishaan if he would remain friends with his actress ex.
Ishaan, 27, said: “Yeah, I mean, I would hope to have her as a friend for the rest of my life.
“She is one of the most wonderful people I have known. She is a sweetheart, she really is. Anyone who has met her would say this.

“And all pulpy questions aside, she is someone who is very dear to me and will always remain so.”
Ananya, 24, had earlier been asked on the show about her relationship with Ishaan but kept tight-lipped.
The actress has recently been at the centre of fresh dating rumours related to actor Aditya Roy Kapur, 37.
Speculation grew they were a pair after they were seen together at Lakme Fashion Week, an Arctic Monkeys concert, a restaurant, and a cinema as they watched the new Barbie movie.
But fans felt they had finally been provided with concrete evidence of the alleged romance when photos of Ananya and Aditya travelling in a car together surfaced last month.
According to reports, they were out on a ‘date night’.
Ananya covered her face as she sat in the passenger seat beside her rumoured new beau.
They are yet to officially confirm they are an item, though Ananya has shared a cosy picture of them together to her Instagram.
Aditya may have even met Ananya’s family, including her famous father Chunky Panday, after she reportedly brought him with her to last year’s Fifa World Cup.
