Ishita Panchal may have disappeared from the small screen for now, but that doesn't mean the girl is away from the spotlight. She became a household name thanks to her role as Tapasya in Colors' Uttaran. She is currently busy endorsing a lot of humane causes.

Says Ishita, "I'm walking the ramp for a show titled 'Peace Walk' which honors everyone who sacrificed their lives on 26/11 and also supports the fight against terrorism. I'll be wearing a black and white skirt teamed with a white top. It was me who picked out the outfit!"

Apparently, Ishita also walked the ramp for another charity event held earlier this month in Pune. She says, "On November 14th I walked the ramp for designer Avantika. The proceeds of the event went to Pune School & Home for the Blind."

So with all these events does Ishita miss her Uttaran days? "Yes, I miss working in Uttaran. It became like a second family to me. But now I enjoy in school," she signs off.
