The gorgeous, waif like Isha Sharvani who made her debut in Subhash Ghai's KISNA is all geared up for her forthcoming films and owes everything to her mentor Subhash Ghai. There's no particular 'dream role' lingering on her mind though she loved Julia Roberts in ERIN BROCKOVICH and Hema Malini in SHOLAY. In her opinion, one can transform the most mundane roles into a dream role. She loves music, animals and has been the head girl of her school. Over to the actress...

My background
My mother (Daksha Seth) is Gujarati and my dad (Vissaro) is an Australian. He is a music composer while my mom is an excellent dancer. I have lived in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Orissa and Vrindavan. My mom has a beautiful ashram in Kerala with lots of trees, cats and dogs. I've grown up in Kerala, in a small place near the Vellani Lake. I've lived there for about 13-14 years. I've learnt many forms of dancing like Kalaripayattu, Kathak and Chau.
 
Acting was never a conscious decision
I adore animals and I'm very passionate about music. As a kid I wanted to become a vet but I realized I couldn't study much. Moreover I can't see animals in pain. Injections, operation and everything associated to a vet really scares me. Next I got involved in dancing. My mom trained me and gradually I developed interest in dancing. I believe 'acting-dancing-singing' is an ideal combination for an all round entertainer. So acting was more like a natural progression for me.

Indian Film Industry
It's been 2 years in Bollywood now. I've had a beautiful experience I must say. I consider myself very fortunate to have met such wonderful people. They all have been very kind, helpful and supportive. I've got the right guidance and I've met the best people here.

My forthcoming films

DARWAZA BANDH RAKHO
I play this very rich girl who gets kidnapped in the film. She is very bubbly and affable. She is more than happy about getting kidnapped. It becomes one mad house with loads of chaos and mayhem leading to funny situations. It's about these amateur kidnappers and uninvited guests who keep coming and the story mainly revolves around this incident. There are no songs in the film so it's an unusual step from my side. The film releases on 4th August.

ROCKY
ROCKY is a love story. I play Zayed Khan's love interest in the film. I play this college girl belonging to a middle class family who has no parents. Zayed and me are completely opposite in the film. We are likes poles apart and it's about how our relationship develops. It's a story of trials and tribulations, basically about the journey of a boy who cannot bear injustice, the problems he goes through, the people he meets etc so it's an action-cum-drama love story. It also has a subtle patriotic angle. The way people always crib about problems existing in India but never do anything about it. The film releases on 18th August. 
 
I had a blast working with everyone on the sets. Unfortunately I didn't have any scenes with Minissha Lamba. Three of us have just shot for a song together but it was fun. Zayed is fantastic as a co-star and since we all are like-minded, young people we had a good time. 

Besides these 2 films, I'm doing another film with Mukta Arts titled GOOD BOY BAD BOY.

Expectations
I expect very little and so I seldom get disappointed. But as an artiste I obviously want my films to do spectacularly well. I want the audience to appreciate all my films. I hope it becomes a hit and my hard work pays off. I have performed to the best of my ability, given my 100% so appreciation matters a lot.
