Birth date	September 19, 1976
Birth place	Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Occupation	Actress, Model
Birthname	Isha Koppikar
Othername	Isha NarangEesha Koppikhar NarangEesha KoppikharIshaa Koppikar
Spouse	Timmy Narang (2009 - Present )

Eesha Narang () née Koppikar, (born 19 September 1976) is an Indian actress and model who has appeared in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi films. Narang married her long-term boyfriend Rohit (Timmy) Narang on 29 November 2009.

Background

Eesha Narang was born in Mumbai, India. She hails from the Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin community and her mother tongue is Konkani. She has one younger brother. Narang 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. Narang 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. and received the 10th Anniversary Huminatarian Award in December. 2009 She has also obtained a black-belt in Taekwondo.

Film career

South India

The 1997 Hindi film Ek Tha Dil Ek Thi Dhadhkan, directed by Shahrukh Sultan, is often quoted as being Narang's first film, but there is no evidence the project was ever released.

In 2004, Narang's films were releasing on average every two months. Both Mani Shankar's science fantasy Rudraksh and Kundan Shah's madcap comedy Ek Se Bhadkhar Ek teamed Narang next to perennial acting partner Sunil Shetty. In Krishna Cottage, she was cast opposite Sohail Khan for Santram Verma's creepy ghost story. Inteqam, directed by Pankaj Parashar and co-starring Manoj Bajpai, saw Narang revive the role played by Sharon Stone in the original Hollywood version: Basic Instinct. Another cameo appearance in Kunal Kohli's Hum Tum with Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji could have left a comedy taste to 2004, but this would be the year of street protests following Karan Razdan's controversial Girlfriend, co-starring Amrita Arora and Aashish Chaudhary caught in a lesbian love triangle. The film provoked public poster burning and calls for the film to be banned.

In 2005, Narang eased up somewhat only releasing four films. Sangeeth Sivan's bawdy comedy Kyaa Kool Hai Hum, with Anupam Kher, Ritesh Deshmukh and Tusshar Kapoor saw Narang nominated in three separate award ceremonies (IIFA, Zee Cine Award and Star Screen Awards) for best comedy role. Two more comedies saw her make guest appearances: David Dhawan's Salman Khan vehicle Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, and Abbas Mustan's whodunit, 36 China Town with Akshaye Khanna and Kareena Kapoor. A return to Ram Gopal Varma's Factory saw her alongside Chunkey Pandey in Vishram Sawant's gangster flick D: Underworld Badhshah, starring Randeep Hooda.

Farhan Akhtar directed a 2006 remake of the Amitabh Bachchan hit , this time with Shahrukh Khan in the lead. Narang was cast as Khan's moll Anita. By now the success of Don was in contrast to Narang's stuttering career with a string of films stuck in production or abandoned. Vicky Ranawat's Haseena Smart Sexy and Dangerous crept out towards the end of 2006, Jagdish A Sharma's murder mystery Garhee appeared on dvd, Hansel Mehta's Raakh was dropped, whilst Narang's highest profile film of 2007, Nikhil Advani's multi starrer Salaam-e-Ishq, saw her sharing limited screen time with Sohail Khan. Ram Gopal Varma's much discussed Shabri, directed by Lalit Marathe -a role which led to Narang being unrecognised in character and barred from the film set by security men

In August 2009, Narang presented the new Colors wrestling show 100% De Dhana Dhan.,
