Ishaa Koppikar born 19 September 1976 is an Indian actress and model. She has appeared in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi films.
Ishaa Koppikar was born in Mumbai, India. Her family is of Mangalorean origin and she has one younger brother. Koppikar graduated in Life Sciences at Ramnarain Ruia College in Mumbai. It was during her time at college that she appeared in a photoshoot for Indian photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha. The shoot led to work in advertising as a model, notably for L’Oreal, Rexona, Camay, Tips & Toes and Coca-Cola. Koppikar contested the 1995 Miss India Contest, winning the Miss Talent Crown. Her modelling work gave her an introduction to the film industry and to her first film appearance in the Tamil movie Kaadhal Kavithai in 1998. Since then, Koppikar has made over forty films and has several Hindi films in production or due for release in 2008. She continues to model for fashion designer Anita Dongre and is currently the Indian representative of the Italian fashion company Police Watches and Jewellery. Outside her work in film, music and television, Koppikar is a spokesperson for the animal rights organisation PETA.The 1997 Hindi film Ek Tha Dil Ek Thi Dhadhkan, directed by Shahrukh Sultan, is often quoted as being Ishaa Koppikar’s first film, but there is no evidence the project was ever released. Koppikar’s career must therefore be said to have begun with the 1998 Tamil film Kaadhal Kavithai, co-starring alongside Prashanth, and directed by Agathyan. Koppikar was awarded the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award. Continuing her Tamil film career, Koppikar’s second movie was En Swasa Kaatre in 1998, opposite Arvind Swamy, directed by K. S. Ravikumar, with music by renowned composer A.R. Rahman. 1998 saw a third film, this time a cameo appearance in Praveen Kanth’s Jodi, starring Prashanth and Simran.
In 1999, Koppikar alternated between appearances in the Telugu comedy Chandralekha, co-starring Nagarjuna and Ramya Krishnan, directed by Krishna Vamshi; and the Tamil gangland movie Nenjinile, starring Vijay and directed by S. A. Chandrasekhar.
