Born on September 29, 1984, Isha Sharvani's mother Daksha Seth is a renowned dancer and father Devissaro, is an Australian musician, a composer and a photographer, but Indian at heart. Isha's birthplace is Delhi but she grew up in various parts of the country including Vrindavan, Bangalore and Kerala.
Isha Sharvani loved dancing since the age of two and as a kid, she would provide regular entertainment on the table tops of Bengali Market in Delhi.
Being the daughter of a famous danseuse, Isha Sharvani spent over a decade learning various dance forms at her mother's art school in Kerala. She is trained in traditional forms like Kalaripayattu, Chhau and Kathak.
Isha Sharvani belongs to a family deeply rooted in Indian art and culture. Her mother, Daksha Seth, runs a dance gurukul, her father, who was on a Buddhist pilgrimage in the early 80s and had come to Delhi to study Hindustani music from the Dagar Brothers, is a composer, and her brother Tao Issaro is a percussionist.
Isha Sharvani was 20 when she was offered Subhash Ghai's film Kisna: The Warrior Poet. Her Bollywood debut indeed was a powerful one, as the actress impressed one and all with her fine dancing. But, that's about it. Isha couldn't taste success in Bollywood after that.
"I had never even thought about going into the film industry. After Kisna, I did a few other films but my passion for the stage and the love of performing kept me from exploring my full potential in films and that has been a very conscious choice," said Isha in her blog.
Darwaza Bandh Rakho (2006), Rocky: The Rebel (2006), Good Boy, Bad Boy (2007), U, Me aur Hum (2008), Luck by Chance (2009), David (2013) are among the popular films that Isha has been part of.
However, Isha Sharvani has been keeping busy with her new dance production Sari along with her brother Tao Issaro. She is also a Yoga trainer and a dance instructor.
In February 2020, Isha Sharvani surprised one and all as she made an appearance at a fashion show in Thiruvananthapuram with her four-year-old son Luca.
Isha Sharvani is a single mother. A fearlessly independent woman, as Isha calls herself, she is raising her child on her own.
Isha Sharvani has been sharing cute pictures with her son on her Instagram page since last year. Clearly, Isha seems to be loving this phase of being a mom.
