Ishitta Arun, daughter of renowned singer-actress Illa Arun, considers her collaboration with National Award-winning director Hansal Mehta in the upcoming Netflix series, 'Scoop', to be a transformative experience.


Describing Mehta as a “man of few words," Ishitta expressed her admiration for the filmmaker's trust in his actors. “He handholds you for the first five minutes, and then trusts your ability as an actor. It is a real pleasure working with him. He doesn’t like to over-direct an actor. He just comes in when you require him, and gives you a brief,” she said.


Playing wife to Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub's character, Ishitta acknowledges that Nelly (her character) isn't one of the primary characters. She emphasises the significant value she brings to Ayyub's journalist character.


“Nelly is the moral compass in his life. She is the person who shows him that the way to stand up for your colleague is by using the pen in the right way. Nelly is a professor and has a marriage of equality,” revealed Ishitta, who was also seen in Rana Naidu, along with south superstars Venkatesh Daggubati and Rana Daggubati.
