Isha Koppikar had taken a break from films a few years ago, and wanted to concentrate on her life as a hotelier and a mother. But now, with the digital Renaissance, she is back with her second innings. She opens up about her Bollywood journey and the struggles - from battling rejection and replacements to casting couch and being typecast as the 'item girl'. Talking about her journey, she said, "A lot of times I was about to get a role. But someone would call and their daughter or the starlet would get the film. Or if someone is with someone - whether she is his muse or girlfriend, she has got the role. So I have been hit by nepotism a few times."
