Hailing from Pune, Ishita Chauhan met Director & Producer Anil Sharma two years back when the Gadar director was extremely impressed with her persona.

Post auditioning over 4000 girls to be Utkarsh Sharma heroine in the film "Genius", Director & Producer Anil Sharma took notice of Ishita's acting talent ,innocence and impressive screen presence & signed her for "Genius".

Ishita's faith in her director & a good script above all else stands vindicated which is why there were no second thoughts to be Anil Sharma's heroine.
