Isha Sharwani, known to be the only dancer in Bollywood who can match her steps with Hrithik Roshan, says she would love to work again with the actor after ‘Luck By Chance’.
Hrithik, who is one of the best dancers in Bollywood, did a cameo in Zoya Akhtar’s debut while Sharwani played a nubile Nikki Khurana, the 18-year-old daughter of 70’s superstar in the movie.
“I will love to get a chance to work with Hrithik again,” Sharwani, who has also appeared with the actor in a commercial, said.
But it is not Bollywood, which is Sharwani’s true calling.
“I think I belong to stage because dance is my destiny. I love it,” said the actress, who started performing when she was just 13-year-old.
Sharwani, 25 started taking an interest in dancing because that helped her avoid school but slowly it became a passion.
“I guess in the beginning it had to with the fact that if I danced I didn’t need to go to the school and also I could get the chance to be with my parents but slowly it grew on me and I realised that dance was my destiny,” said the actress, who debuted in Bollywood with Subhash Ghai’s ‘Kisna’
Sharwani will soon star in Bollywood’s first musical along with actor Vivek Oberoi, which will be organised at ’Kingdom of Dreams’, India’s first Las Vegas style live entertainment destination in Gurgaon.
“I totally want to push the envelop in terms of my character and performance. It is going to be a grand spectacle,” Sharwani said refusing to give further details about the elaborate song-and-dance love story, penned by Javed Akhtar.
Ask her about Bollywood and the actress says, “I am a bit tied down with the musical but may be after this.”
Sharwani does not fear that she will disappear if she is not seen in movies regularly.
“Well, I think today is the age where people are choosing different paths in life. It is not that if you are not in it you are going to miss out on the game. People like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh have their own space. I think people who are interested to cast me will cast me anyway,” she said.
The actress cum dancer, who is known for her difficult and stylised performances, believes that it is important to stay connected to the Indian roots.
“I love hip hop and other dances but I am also very comfortable with my Indian side. I believe that if you are rooted, you can go anywhere and do anything but you need to know your roots,” said the actress.
