Isha Koppikar is back on the screen with the Hindi and Tamil language thriller web series, Dhahanam. The actress has been a part of Bollywood for over two decades now. In a recent interview, she has opened up about the time she was ‘completely broken and devastated’ after a male actor had asked her to meet him alone, without her staff.
Talking to Bollywood Hungama, Isha recalled, “I was completely broken and disillusioned.

I feel all of us have our threshold and priority. For me, my life is bigger than my work. At the end of the day, it is my conscience, I need to look at the mirror and feel good about it. There may be people who beg to differ and would get a good night’s sleep after doing all this.”
Isha had opened up about the incident before as well.
