Ayesha Takia Fan Website

She has just finished her pet project ‘Shaadi Se Pehle’. But mention the word “shaadi” and actress Ayesha Takia yells, clarifying, “i am not getting married. And i am definitely not quitting Bollywood.”

Tell her that there have been rumours that she had chosen home over her career, and Ayesha says, “Yes, even i have heard that one. But it is not true. i have just started my career as an actress. i have a long way to go. The rumour-mongers even fixed up my wedding date for March 6th. Marriage is out of question for another five to six years. i want to focus on my career.” Ayesha admits though that she is in love with restaurateur Farhan Azmi, who owns Koyla and Balisco. “Yes, i love Farhan. But we have not yet given marriage a thought.

i am just 20 and he’s 23. We have barely settled in our careers, so how can we think of getting married at the moment? But the media has already fixed our wedding date. We even told our respective families to attend it.” Ayesha jokes. Did she observe the one month Ramzan fast along with Farhan? “Yes, i did. i had done it for his well-being. i don’t want to discuss my personal life in print any further,” she says.

Ayesha says that working with Satish Kaushik was a dream come true. “‘Shaadi Se Pehle’ is a comedy that is going to have the audience in splits.

i play the character of Rani who belongs to a rich family. However, the guy whom she loves, played by Akshaye Khanna, is not as rich. The film is about the twists and turns that Akshaye and i face before we finally marry,” she says. Ayesha is also gung-ho about Naseeruddin Shah’s “Yun Hota To Kaisa Hota”.

Speaking about this and other projects, she says, “The film is about the 9/11 attacks. it also stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Paresh Rawal and irrfan Khan. Each one of us has a story to tell about that day. it is only during the climax that all of us are shown together. Working with Naseeruddin Shah was a learning experience, not so much about acting but more about life.”
