This lady packs some really sharp moves. With eight years of Taekwondo and a soon to be acquired black belt, the svelte Eesha Koppikhar is going where no Bollywood actress has gone. She is all set to anchor 100% De Dhana Dhan, a wrestling reality show that will see 12 Indian pehelwans pitted against a dozen South African wrestlers. Wait. Rewind. Eesha and wrestling?
She explains, "I've been a lover of sports all my life and have even played basketball at the state level. I am all for encouraging sports, be it wrestling or anything else. Kushti, our age-old tradition, has got lost somewhere and it needs to be brought back out of the oblivion." But wasn't it intimidating to be surrounded by 24 hulks, all set to outdo each other? "No. In fact, these men are intimidated by me as I've immense power as the go-between the wrestlers, the commentators and the audience." Eesha is excited about her new role.
"This show is the Lagaan of kushti and there was a strong feeling of patriotism in the air during the show. It is like a serial, full of emotions and drama and a strong Indian tadka." Watch 100% De Dhana Dhan starting August 29, 9 pm on Colors.
