She won plaudits for the item number Khallas, and since then Ishaa Koppikar seems to have been rechristened the Khallas girl.
Unfortunately, it seemed that her career was khallas as well, thanks to bit roles and flop films. But the actress is back with Ram Gopal Varmal's romantic-eerie drama, Darling.
"I feel that I haven't got my long standing due yet. My career is now on the uphill and I have really struggled to get where I am," Isha says.
She pours out her heart to Swati R Chaudhary about her plans of getting into the big league, Darling and more.
What is Darling about?
Darling is a triangle between a ghost (Esha Deol), a husband (Fardeen Khan) and his wife. I play Fardeen's middleclass, conservative wife who dotes on her husband and son. It is a romantic thriller with a dash of comedy.
As the film unfolds, she find out about her husband's affair. The film is about how I deal with the nightmare.
