Actor Isha Talwar chastised casting director Shanoo Sharma for an unexpected audition request. Talwar shared an encounter from a decade ago on social media. The 'Mirzapur' star stated that she was required to do a tearful scene in a crowded restaurant, which knocked her confidence.

Isha opened up about the harrowing incident

Isha Talwar penned a long comment on the publication's post where she shared, "So when I started auditioning for roles with Shanoo...I was told to perform a scene at a restaurant called Mia Cucina in Versova, Bombay... a CRYING scene in the middle of a busy working restaurant with customers dining next to my table... I was told I should have no inhibitions as an actor and hence I should be able to do a crying scene with Shanoo sitting in front of me and some of her assistants... it was such a confusing/weird ask (sic)."

Isha revealed how the request affected her confidence, and she felt shattered in that moment, being a budding artist in the Industry. "It shattered my confidence as a young girl in films... I couldn't understand why a senior casting director needed to put a young girl through this... It's only fair that an actor is given a good casting office space to be able to audition in... or if you want to do a real location, then hire a spot, pay for it and audition(sic)," Talwar commented.
