<CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVE>
Ishq was drawn to the medium of film following a rigorous study of Kathak, a North-Indian classical dance form, in which the dancer utilizes movement and facial expression as a means of storytelling.

Her work aims to explore complex relationships, and the darkest parts of the human psyche. She has worked under and been mentored by acclaimed writer-director Lara Shapiro and filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane, a pioneer in the modern Indian Independent film movement.
