“Small world,” she laughs as she discusses the film industry’s mutating morals during the time she was away. “Ram Gopal Varma has offered me a web series where I’ve a lot more to do than I did when we first got together (in Company). That was just a song and dance called ‘Khallas’ which became a rage. Sadly I was offered many so-called item songs after that. I turned down most of them. In Ramu’s series I am playing a cop ….again. Mine is one of the central characters in the series, like the cop in the American series Narcos. I played a cop in my last two films Looty and Kavacha both in Kannada. Maybe I was a cop in my last life. I should change my name to Isha Cop-ikkar, ha ha.” How has the show world changed while Isha has been away looking after her own world? “The atmosphere is far less toxic. There’s no hanky-panky on the sets, no unnecessary talk. When I came in things were very different. Girls were asked to ‘compromise’ and some of them had no choice but to do so because they came from humble backgrounds. I didn’t have to do it. I had solid familial support behind me. I was neither financially nor emotionally insecure. But what about those girls who had no security at all and were asked to compromise? It was a really sad scenario,” says Isha. She sees everyone being more professional now. “The new generation is so much more focused on their work. I lost a lot of good work because I wasn’t willing to compromise with my values. I was only 23 then. But I knew what I wanted from my life. And I didn’t believe in short cuts.”
