Actress Isha Chawla who was seen in a handful of popular films like Prema Kavali, Poola Rangadu and Srimannarayana, isn’t to be seen in the Telugu film industry these days. She had a pleasant surprise and received a flurry of messages from social media users as she shared images from her latest photoshoot recently.
Ask her what kept her away from Telugu films and pat, comes the reply, “Many have asked me about my whereabouts lately. I got stuck in Mumbai owing to the lockdown. In a bid to explore newer horizons, I got enrolled in an Ayurveda course and truly improved my understanding of Yoga in recent months. This learning experience has given me great joy.”
From learning to cook to reading books and listening to great music, Isha is making the most of this break. Waking up in the wee morning hours, sipping a cup of tea while experiencing sunrise and sunset seems to have truly piqued the nature lover in her. Her NGO Ananya Foundation meanwhile is doing great work in organising initiatives ensuring the wellbeing of animals, hosting programmes concerning hygiene, helping people with issues regarding mental health and those who are in need of counselling.
In the time she was away from the industry, Isha was staying in the US, but she has reportedly remained in touch with film persons all along, also performing in shows organised by R P Patnaik and Master Bhanu. While Isha is working on a Hindi web series whose shoot was halted midway owing to the pandemic, she is in talks for two projects each in Telugu and Tamil. “Telugu industry will always be my priority. It has made me what I am today and I’m grateful for that,” she signs off.
