Isha became a cultural ambassador for Indian Culture through her classical Kathak training at Indian Dance school. With this title she has performed at over 150 different venues in the Chicago and Schaumburg area, performing at charity dinners and fundraisers while educating the American public on the classical art of Indian dance.
Oh yeah, she also spent three days as an extra on set for DHOOM 3!!!
