Ishita’s Instagram story about her eating habits

- In an interview, she revealed that she received a lot of appreciation for her role in the movie Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. She said,
I’m happy that people noticed me. The reaction I’ve got after SKTKS is way more than both the Punchnama films (combined).”
- Ishita started her career in 2011, but till 2016, she appeared in only three films. In an interview, she talked about this and said,
I know I’ve been lacking behind and I’m already too late for a lot of things. You see, I was not an industry kid and coming from Delhi, maybe I was destined to be a part of films. After PKP did well, I moved to Mumbai. At that time, maybe I was not getting the right scripts or maybe I wasn’t ready to settle for anything less. So, when PKP 2 was offered, I felt being a part of a hit film sequel is no harm.”
- In the first three films that Ishita did, she played the same sort of role. In an interview, she talked about this and said,
That’s because I worked with the same director in these films. When I’d work with other people, of course I’d do different characters. I don’t have a godfather or any backing and, so I know I have to prove a lot. As an actor, my job is to play different roles, styles and people onscreen. I want to channel my talent and tap into that field where I can play a very sweet naive girl to a village girl to a vamp. I want people to say that this girl has guts to adapt into any character.”
