Back in 2012, a dialogue from the Malayalam film Thattathin Marayathu had an edge of hysteria. A love story, it dwelt upon discords in interfaith relationships. There is a scene where the Hindu protagonist, Vinod, (Nivin Pauly), describes his hijab-clad swain Aisha, (Isha Talwar), thus, “Olu aa thattum ittu kazhinjal ente saare, pinne chuttonnum kannan pattoolla [When she wears that hijab, my sir, you will not see anything else around you].” In a state like Kerala, which has become a symbol of religious coexistence, the dialogue did not offer any introspection, but there was an obvious devotion—for Aisha—enacted succinctly by Talwar, who, over the years, has evolved as an actor.
In a career spanning more than 10 years, Talwar has acted in close to 30 films and web series in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. In 2020, she earned accolades for her performance as Madhuri Yadav in Mirzapur 2, a web series that has a cult following. Today, Talwar has a line-up of projects across languages, including Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force (an action drama on Amazon Prime starring Sidharth Malhotra, Vivek Oberoi and Shilpa Shetty), Homi Adajania’s Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo (releasing in April 2023 on Hotstar) and Mirzapur 3, which will release soon.
