Get to know...Isha Talwar

Currently I am

Filming Sudhir Mishra’s new show, in which I ply a student. And I’m enjoying all the attention that Mirzapur has got.

High point in life

Travelling with my dog, Coconut, to Delhi, Lucknow, Kanpur and Dehradun.

Low point in life

Whenever a low point strikes, it’s just a reminder that I need to exercise.

On my playlist

Ogo Bideshini, by Anjan Dutt; Hanuman Chalisa, by Rasraj ji Maharaj, Dilbaro, from Raazi.

Today I’m craving

A Bombay street sandwich.

Next big splurge

A home.

App I check before bed

Instagram. I need to stop this habit as quickly as possible.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

Be hungry for self growth. You already are.

A secret skill I have

I start laughing in the middle of chaos.

A superpower I wish I had

I would love to disappear midway through a conversation.

My favourite Sunday memory while growing up

Playing for hours and climbing trees.

My most star-struck moment so far

Watching Shobana ji at a dance recital. I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. I don’t know why ! When I went backstage I remember getting the shivers, which is rare for me.

My favourite bad habit

Being late!

If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d…:

Manipulate time so I can dance more.

A trait I despise in people

When they look at me as a frail woman.

I won’t leave the house without…

A bottle of water.

The best thing about fame

Absolute love from absolute strangers.

The worst thing about fame

It’s addictive. And nothing addictive is good in the long term.
