Isha Koppikar was stopped by the police after release of Kyaa Kool Hain Hum: ‘They stopped my car, saluted me'
In 2005, when Ekta Kapoor's film Kyaa Kool Hain Hum released, it received mixed reviews. Yet, to everybody's surprise, it worked wonders at the box office and earned Rs 23 crore against a budget of Rs 5 crore. The film, starring actors Riteish Deshmukh, Tusshar Kapoor, Neha Dhupia and Isha Koppikar, created a cult and shot the stars to fame. Actress Isha Koppikar's character became a fan favourite. She played the role of an inspector in search of a serial rapist. Unlike her other sophisticated roles, in Kya Kool Hai Hum, Isha played a local Maharastrian with a specific dialect and accent. In a recent interview, she recalled the time when a police officer stopped her car after the film's release. She shared, 'I remember once a policeman stopped my car. I asked my driver, 'What happened? Did you jump the signal?' He said, 'No.' The fact was that these police knew my car by its number and they stopped me on purpose. When the car stopped, they asked me to lower the windows. When I did that, to my surprise, they saluted me. They said: 'We need a madam like you in our station.' I felt too good. I thanked them. Then they praised my movie.' She added, 'I often feel that I have this cop kind of vibe: Isha 'Kop'pikkar. I often believe that if I had not become an actor, I would have ended up becoming a police officer.'

She shared, 'I loved acting in Kya Kool Hain Hum! I loved my character as soon as I heard it. My character ruled the film. My dialogues and dialect were fun. We had too much fun on set.' Though the film was promoted as an adult comedy, Isha said she didn't find anything vulgar in the script of the 2005 film. 'When Kyaa Kool Hain Hum was narrated to me, it didn't sound vulgar to me. However, my character was very clean. Back then, a film had released in Hollywood titled Miss Congeniality. My role in Kya Kool Hai Hum was more or less the same. I loved my role. My director, producer as well as the production house–it was all good. I never felt uncomfortable. And I am sure Tusshar (Kapoor) and Riteish (Deshmukh) would have thought about the role before taking it up. I can talk for the part 1 of the film. It was nice. After that, I don't know,' said the actress. After the success of the first film, the makers went on to release second and third installment of the film in 2012 and 2016, respectively. All three films were directed by different directors. While the first and second part of the film starred actors Tusshar Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh, the third film starred actor Aftab Shivdasani with Tusshar. It was also promoted as a sex comedy film.
