Early life and background

[edit | edit source]

Isha Talwar was born on 22 December 1985[2] to film director Vinod Talwar and Suman.[3][4] She was born and brought up in Mumbai, and is a graduate in Economics from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.[5]

Talwar joined choreographer Terence Lewis's dance school in 2004, where she learned various dance forms like ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and salsa and went on to become a tutor in the dance studio.[6] She stated that her choreographer, Terence Lewis, was "one person who changed me completely."[6]

Talwar worked as a model and appeared in more than 40 commercials for brands like Pizza Hut, Vivel Fairness Cream, Kaya Skin Clinic, Dulux Paints, and Dhatri Fairness Cream,[7] besides a music video with Hrithik Roshan for the Just Dance competition.[3] She says she spent two years preparing for her film debut.[8] Although she had worked as a child actress in the 2000 Bollywood film Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai,[9] her full-length film debut was with the Malayalam film Thattathin Marayathu,[10] for which she took a four-month voice training class, went through a course to learn the language,[8] and learned to play the guitar.[7] The film which saw her play Aisha, a Muslim girl who falls in love with a Hindu boy,[10] became a blockbuster and was listed by Rediff.com in their "Top five Malayalam films of 2012" list.[11] Critics noted that she "looked beautiful",[12] but had "nothing much to do" in the film.[3] In a later interview, she stated that the role of Aisha had given her "a lot of recognition" and that she was "really happy with" her girl next-door image from the film.[13] Her second film I Love Me by B. Unnikrishnan had her playing the female lead alongside Asif Ali and Unni Mukundan.[14] She said that her character in the film Samantha had "shades of grey".[15]

In 2013, she had two releases – her Telugu debut, Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde,[16] which opened to a positive response,[citation needed] and her Tamil debut, Thillu Mullu, a remake of the same-titled 1981 Tamil comedy film which was also a commercial success.[17] In 2014, she was seen in the Malayalam films, Balyakalasakhi,[18] Utsaha Committee, God's Own Country,[19] and Anjali Menon's Bangalore Days. She has shot for an "extended cameo role" in Siddique's Bhaskar the Rascal.[20] She has also been shooting for the Tamil remake of Thattathin Marayathu, reprising her own role.[21] She made her Bollywood debut in the Hindi movie Tubelight alongside Salman Khan. She also appeared alongside Saif Ali Khan in Kaalakaandi. In 2020, she appeared in the Amazon Prime web series Mirzapur. In 2023, she worked on Hotstar web series Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo.
