Isha Talwar her bad experience with YRF casting director
Actress Isha Talwar, acknowledged for her acclaimed roles in “Mirzapur”, “Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo”, and “Article 15″, shares her bad experience with YRF casting director Shanoo Sharma. Taking to her social media she shared her story and offers advice to newcomers in the industry.
In a detailed comment under a publication’s post, Isha recalled an audition scenario that left her shaken. She was asked to perform a crying scene in the middle of a crowded restaurant, Mia Cucina in Versova, Mumbai, surrounded by real diners and waiters.
She was told she should have no inhibitions as an actress and hence should be able to cry at a table with Shanoo and her assistants watching her..terming the experience “confusing and weird,” she added that it “shattered [her] confidence as a young girl in films.”
Isha questioned the logic behind such an unprofessional setting, saying a casting director should either provide a proper space for auditions or pay for a controlled location. Ultimately, she refused to perform under those circumstances and, as she noted, did not get the role. But she has no regrets.
