Ishitta then claimed that people in the industry judged Ila for her physical appearance and because of which she got limited roles. She said, “In the late 80s and 90s, she was into folk music and avoided being a part of any lobby. Saawli, lambe baal… and there were many other actresses of her age due to which she wasn’t getting the offers.”

Ishitta then said the advent of OTT was like a boon for Ila as she started getting offered good roles, “There is a lot of good work. She’s doing one film after the other,” Ila will be seen in the third season of Sushmita Sen’s Aarya, helmed by Ram Madhvani. However, Ishitta urges filmmakers to bring good work to her mother while she is active and not make memorials after she is dead. She said, “she’s there give her the work. Appreciate her for the person and talent she is.”
