Ayesha Takia, the bubbly and bindaas babe has been going through a tough phase. In an era where size zero has become the norm, she finds place in the bulky category.
Her not too wise selection of films has also been fatal for the good actress. We hear that she declined Nagesh Kukunoor’s Aashayein only because she didn’t want to smooch John Abraham.
As if this wasn’t enough, the young actress is now being criticized for her bad dressing sense! However, Ayesha has always taken criticism with a pinch of salt and has also given it back to the critics whenever needed.
Ayesha Takia is one actress who does not hesitate to speak her mind. But has her candid attitude gone down well with her Bollywood peers? We know how our Bolly stars are all airs about themselves so it’s quite obvious that not many will appreciate Ayesha for what she is. Where her attitude has rubbed a few directors on the wrong side, we also have some admirers. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has a different take on the issue!
Ironically after the release of No Smoking , all was not well between Anurag and Ayesha. Reason being – after the failure of No Smoking , Ayesha openly made statements about how she regretted doing the film as it had no scope for her! “I knew it was a wrong decision to do No Smoking but since Anurag Kashyap is a dear friend I couldn’t say no”, Ayesha has said in an interview which apparently had later created differences between the dame and her director.
We bumped into Anurag recently and brought up the issue. He not only brushed off the tiff rumours but also complimented Ayesha for her straight-forwardness!
“She was right when she said that she did the film only for me. No Smoking indeed had nothing for her but she did it for me as a friend. I have seen her grow and she has always been very straightforward. What she says in public about me is what she will say on my face when she sees me. She doesn’t lead a dual life and is not two-faced unlike lots of other people in the industry. She is somebody I love unconditionally and her sister Natasha is someone who I love more than Ayesha! I wanted Natasha to be a writer. She has always been a great musician and a writer. Both the sisters are such nice people”, said Anurag.
Now we know what makes Ayesha Takia a cut above the rest in the industry.
