Isha is 20 years old who lives at an ashram in Kerala, India. She is

etc. She started dancing at the age of seven and has already performed
in 22 countries in the last seven years. Her mother is of
Indian-origin, Daksha Seth, dancer by profession. Her dad is
Australian, Vissaro, a composer by profession. She has been named by
her mom (first name) and aunt (last name). "Isha" means goddess, and
"sharwani" means Parvati = Goddess Parvati. She originally intended to
a vet by profession, but couldn't bear the thought of injecting and
hurting animals. She received an email from Subhash Ghai's office, who
were looking for an actress with some knowledge of dancing, to act in
Bollywood movies. She and her mom went to Bombay to visit Subhash Ghai,
and a year later she was signed as the female lead in
Kisna: The Warrior Poet (2005)
opposite Vivek Oberoi. There are
already two other "Ishas", named
Isha Koppikar, and
Esha Deol in Bollywood.
