From her strong danseuse roots, she would have neverimagined that she would end up doing films because being a dancer comes to herfirst.
Her mother was a Kathak dancer who,was learning under BirjuMaharaj while her dad was a Buddhist monk( Austarlian by birth)in Thailand. Herdad's desire to learn 'Dhrupad' made him stay back in India. They both met,fell in love and got married.
After living in Delhi for a few years,
Isha moved to Vrindavan. She was a ardent dancer whopracticed dance for hours on end along side her mother.The duo has performedfor several shows, and their popularity can be measured by the fact that peoplesell their free passes to see the duo's performance.
Though she had received many offers for films previouslynothing was good enough to take her away from her dance.
"Kisna" happened by chance. She received an emailfrom Mukta Arts saying that they were researching for a film called "Kisna" and that they had heard of her mother as a choreographer. Theyasked the duo to come to Mumbai. Enroute to the Pune Film festival they metSubhash Ghai,showed him their work and left. Three days later Subhash Ghaicalled her from London and asked her if she was interested in playing a rolecalled " Laxmi" in "Kisna." And the rest as they say is history.
Isha finds classical dance very unfulfilling because shefeels that the 'mudras' are artificial and a cheesy version of Bollwood. Thesedays she is very attracted to Physical Theatre. She has made a concious effortto learn acting because she feels that dancers tend to forget that they have aface, while actors do not remember their body. According to her, there shouldbe proper coordination between both faculties.
