Isha has her family home at Landour, Mussoorie and says that she pays a visit to Doon and Mussoorie at least twice a year.In a telephonic chat with Doon Times, Isha shared her experience about visiting UK (short for Uttarakhand), how she found small happy moments of life by walking the mist-filled roads of Mussoorie and Uttarakhand, how motherhood had made her addictive to her daughter and why did she plan to make a comeback in Bollywood even when her daughter was few months old.
“UK is my favourite holiday destination!” No, it is not United Kingdom that Isha is gushing about but it is our own Uttarakhand which makes her excited as a little girl when she starts planning for a visit to Uttarakhand. Isha says, “We fondly call it the UK. Since Timmy’s cousins are all based in Mussoorie, we visit the queen of hills twice a year. Nothing gives me more adrenaline rush than
hearing of going to Doon and Mussoorie with family. People go abroad for holidaying but Uttarakhand has become my favourite vacation destination!”

“No better place than Mussoorie to spend quality family time” In this era of hustle-bustle in busy lives, some exotic places in Uttarakhand are the perfect escape routes to provide your family with quality time together. Isha believes that UK is her dream destination when it comes to spending relaxing time with her little princess and loving hubby. She says, “This time, when we went to Mussoorie, it was raining and the entire place was covered with clouds and mist which was such a picturesque moment. My daughter, Rianna was not keeping well but I guess the fresh and pure oxygen of the mountains cured her! Whenever we visit Mussoorie and Doon, it is only a family-time for us, no work, no business, just mountains and family outings. In Mumbai, all of us are so busy running for completing our deadlines that when we come to places like Dehradun and Mussoorie, do we realize the value and preciousness of time.”

Landour Chakkar walks, Char Dukaan, Lal Tibba, Chic Chocolate Café…… When asked about which all places in Mussoorie does she love to visit, the reply comes in an instant - “I love the small quaint shops in Mall Road, and Kulri Bazaar. We walked the Chakkars in Landour, where we completed the whole circuit of eight. Rianna was very happy as there were clouds all around and the weather was simply awesome. We also visited The Clock Tower Café and Chic Chocolate Café for some delicious hot chocolate drink during the rains. I also love the antique shops at the Mall Road from where I always buy some or the other small things which are like memoirs of Mussoorie. These simple moments of life are just wonderful for me.”
“I have had friends from Army in Doon” When asked whether her connection with Uttarakhand built up after her marriage to Timmy Narang, she says, “Even before my marriage to Timmy, I have had friends from Army background from Dehradun and Mussoorie. So, I had come to Uttarakhand before also. I also like visiting Haridwar and Rishikesh where I find mental and spiritual peace. While shooting for Krishna Cottage, we had come to Joshimath and Auli in Uttarakhand where we did the entire movie shooting. Since that time, I had fallen in love with this place. My luck was also such that my husband’s family also happened to be in Mussoorie and now every year, I get a chance to visit this state. If you visit Auli, trust me, you will not want to visit Switzerland!”
I am addicted to my daughter Every new mommy in B-Town says that they become addicted to their new-born babies but this super-mom started shooting for a movie when her daughter was just 3 years old. Isha says, "It is true that I am addicted to my daughter but I also cannot leave my work altogether. So in all my movie shoots, you will see my daughter accompanying me.
