Eesha Koppikhar, a Mumbaikar of Mangalorean origin, started off in Bollywood as an item gal. But that doesnot mean that this sexy lass cannot act (read 'Don', 'Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya', 'Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi' and 'Girlfriend').
Here is a pictorial ode to Eesha, the "Khallas" girl, known for her bold characters. A true combination of beauty with brains.
Eesha Koppikhar was born on September 19, 1976 in Mumbai.
She has a degree in Life Sciences from Ramnarain Ruia College, Mumbai.
She has modelled for L'Oreal, Rexona, Camay, Tips & Toes and Coca-Cola.
She won the Miss Talent crown at Miss India contest (1995).
She made her debut in a Tamil movie, 'Kaadhal Kavidai' (1998).
She won the Filmfare Best Female Debut (South) award for her role in 'Kaadhal Kavidai'.
She made her Bollywood debut in 'Ek Tha Dil Ek Thi Dhadkan' (1997)
Must-see movies of Eesha: 'Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi', 'Hello', 'Darling', 'Don - The Chase Begins Again', 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya', 'Kyaa Kool Hai Hum' and 'Girlfriend'
Her upcoming movies are 'Shabri', 'Raakh', 'Haseena - Smart, Sexy, Dangerous', 'Mujhe Rang De', 'Gahraee' and 'Har Pall'
Eesha has also acted in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada movies. Some of her noteable films include 'Kaadhal Kavidai', 'En Swasa Kaatre', 'Jodi', 'Chandralekha', 'Nenjinile', ''Hoo Anthiya Uhoo Anthiya', 'Nuvvu Vasthavani', 'Surya Vamsha', 'Prematho Raa' and 'Narassima'.
Eesha made her small screen debut in 2007 as a judge on dance reality show 'Nach Baliye 3'.
She was also the host of Colors' wrestling show '100% De Dhana Dhan'.
"During my early days in Bollywood, I've been hinted by an established actor to make compromises with him so he could help me climb the ladder of success. What happens next - I don't get the film. That's how our industry is sometimes," says Eesha.
Eesha on being recognised as the Khallas girl: "Khallas was a benchmark song for me. That's the song I was and I am still recognized by. That was a monster of a song. People had not seen a song like that. I mean, there is so much of me than just that song. Love it or hate it but you can't ignore 'Khallas'."
Eesha married restaurateur Timmy Narang on November 29, 2009.
"I started my career at an age of 18, did a lot of modelling and then spent good time in movies. 30 is the right age for the woman of today to get married and after that she has to worry about kids as well. You want to be growing up with your kids after all. Till a few years ago my priority was work, now my family comes first," says Eesha.
Eesha's favourite actors are Amitabh Bachchan, Sridevi and Russell Crowe.
Eesha has a black-belt in Taekwondo.
