Confirming the existence of camps, the actor shared that she became a victim of nepotism and casting couch.
Sharing one incident, Isha revealed in an interview to Bombay Times that in the mid-2000 a renowned producer called her and asked her to ‘be in the good books of the hero’. “I called up the hero, who asked me to meet him alone. At that point, he was being accused of infidelity, so he asked me to visit him minus my staff,” shared Isha. She said she called the producer and said that she is here due to ‘talent and looks and if that can get me good work, then it’s good enough’.
Isha Koppikar confessed, “I was thrown out of the film.”
