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.
