RISING star Isha Chawlaa made her acting debut with Zee TV serial Janbaaz Sindbad and can be currently seen playing the role of Alia in ALT Balaji web serial Class Of 2020.
The model and actress with a growing fan base is looking to take on more challenges, and is one to look out for in the coming years.
Eastern Eye caught up with Isha to talk about acting and television.
What first connected you to acting?
I was always passionate about acting, and I don’t know from where it comes, but from my childhood I was attracted towards this field.
How did you feel landing your first project and how was the experience?
I got selected as a fresh face in my college and from there someone told me to audition for a show, and randomly, I gave an audition and even forgot about it. After a few days, I got a call that I got selected, which was surprising. My experience was amazing because my director supported me a lot, and my co-stars Karan Kundra and Ratan Rajput were all so humble. They encouraged me a lot.
How did you feel when your recent serial Class Of 2020 released?
It feels amazing, and I have got such a mind blowing response. People loved me. They started connecting themselves with my character, so it was just too good.
What was the biggest challenge while working on this project?
I think more than challenging, my focus was to perform great and I wanted to feel the character. Hopefully, I have done that in this role.
What can we expect next from you?
There is something really interesting that would come up soon, so watch this space.
What would be your dream role?
I just want to do something challenging. More than a role, my dream would be to act with Nawazuddin (Siddiqui) sir and Ayushmann
Khurrana; they both are just so talented.
Who would you say is your own acting hero?
Right now, it is Ayushmann Khuranna. I want to do something challenging, and he always takes on interesting projects. He also looks amazing. According to me, we both will look perfect.
What do you enjoy watching on TV, and have you binge watched anything recently?
I like watching shows on Netflix. I do watch Friends and some other shows on streaming sites. Other than that, I love watching Pakistani shows, and I think they make really good content.
What inspires you?
Honestly, I inspire myself. I’m not saying this because I’m obsessed, but I’m inspired by myself because I believe in my talent, work ethic and personality, which leads me towards my work.
Why do you love being an actor?
I love being an actor because I can play different characters and I can live that moment.
