How Isha Malviya bagged Udaariyaan?
Before this, Isha would only make Tiktok videos, mostly dance videos, which made her popular in her home town Narmadapuram. She didn't realise her videos were so popular that they would change her life and career as well.
At first, she thought she wouldn't be able to act as making Tiktok videos was totally different from acting in front of the camera, in front of the entire crew. When she was skeptical about this and had almost refused to be a part of the show, she was offered to be trained. She eagerly accepted the opportunity and that was the beginning of her career as an actress.

On the sets of the show, she met Abhishek Kumar, her ex-boyfriend who is also a part of Bigg Boss 17. Apart from acting on the show together, they would also collaborate for TikTok and Instagram videos. People loved their chemistry. While they denied dating each other previously, during their stint on Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 17, it was revealed that they were in a relationship and had an ugly break up. While Abhishek often confessed that he wasn't able to move on, Isha said that the reason for their break up was Abhishek's possessiveness. She even accused him of physical assault.
Now, Isha is dating Samarth Jurel, who played the role of Nikhil Kapoor in Udaariyaan and is a wildcard contestant on Bigg Boss 17. Isha Malviya's personal life has piqued the interest of fans.
Meanwhile, it is said that the actress' mother and father both are quite upset about her participation in the show and in fact they want her out of the show. This happened after she was seen getting intimate with Samarth in one of the episodes.

As per her Udaariyaan co-actor Lokesh Batta, Isha's mother called him. "Isha's mother is quite upset with her stint in the show... Her father works in a government firm and he is also disappointed with her in the show," he was quoted as saying.
Her mother wasn't aware of her relationship with Samarth Jurel," he told Pinkvilla.
Some other reports say that Isha's mother was aware of her relationship with Samarth and had even begged him to not go inside the house as it would hamper her image. Samarth's friend was quoted as saying, "Right now she has hit another low by making someone else lie. She even tried to blackmail him by saying that she will harm herself if he reveals on the show that he is Isha's current boyfriend."
Some reports also suggest that the makers of the show are planning to bring Isha Malviya's parents to the show.
