WOMEN EMPOWERING WOMEN

ISHA RIKHI

She is as beautiful as watching the sun set in the sea. Actress Isha Rikhi, who has featured in Punjabi films, had made her Bollywood debut with Nawabzaade and won hearts of many.

Isha started her career as a model, she slayed it well and made her way in Pollywood and Bollywood.

Describe yourself in one word?

Persistent.

Tell us something more about Isha Rikhi in real life.

Isha in real life is very simple. She likes her warm cup of tea in the mornings, lounging around the house in her sweatpants and obsesses over her sister and mother.

How did you get into Punjabi Industry?

It was all in the destiny. I never wanted to become an actor. I wanted to win the Miss India pageant. That's the dream I came to Mumbai with. Then after I started modeling I got my first break in a Punjabi film. That's when it all started. I decided to act and feel glad of having made that decision.

Do you think Punjabi Industry has evolved?

Everything evolves with time; I think that the Punjabi Industry has evolved a lot over a period of time and for good. There are more options for females actors, the script, the storyline and the characters are much stronger than it used to be.

Do you think there is gender inequality in Punjabi Industry?

If I need to be honest, then yes! There are male centric roles and very less importance is given to the females.

How the industry has evolved you as a person?

It has surely inclined me more towards my culture and roots. You get to know so much about Punjab and its traditions.

How much time does it take you to come out of the character you are playing?

It hardly takes time, say few minutes.
