Where’s Ayesha Takia?

Ayesha Takia is the leading lady in No Smoking, but the new promos for the film, opening tomorrow, pretty much ignore her. Instead, the promos play up Bipasha Basu’s small part in the John Abraham starrer.

It seems the producers are hoping to cash in on the John-Bipasha chemistry and the publicity about their split/reuinion/split/reunion.

Can you blame them? The pic opens against Jab We Met which hit the jackpot in publicity when Kareena and Shahid split and Bebu took up with Saif Ali Khan. Continue reading ‘Where’s Ayesha Takia?’

With the hot and sizzling promo of ‘No Smoking’ with John and Bips hitting the small screen with much hype and hoopla and the leading man promoting no smoking in a big way, suprisingly, the leading lady of the movie — Ayesha Takia — is conspicuous by her absence in the promos.

John Abraham, who is all out to promote the upcoming movie ‘No Smoking’ with great enthusiam, the promos have given Ayesha Takia a miss.

Interestingly, John-Bips split had hit the headlines and the filmmakers, it seems, are cashing in on their on-and-off relationship and have managed to garner eyeballs through the John and Bips smoking number for the film. Continue reading ‘‘No Smoking’ promo gives Ayesha Takia a miss’

Ayesha Takia makes her own rules

She has chosen to stand away from the crowd. In a cacophony of phony takes and sound bites, she speaks her mind as and when she wants to, and when every other actress is willing to drop her clothes and lock her lips, she has actually got changes made in the script of her recent film to suit herself. Ayesha Takia tells NT as to why she refuses to bare on screen or do smouldering smooching scenes…

‘Films won’t last, I will’: “I come from a respectable family and am very conscious of the kind of image I portray on the screen.

That’s how I have been brought up, and so I am not willing to change anything for anybody. Before joining the films I had set down some do’s and don’ts for myself and I want to maintain them. Continue reading ‘Ayesha Takia makes her own rules’

Ayesha Takia puts her foot down

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap had to meet Ayesha Takia’s terms before she agreed to star opposite John Abraham in the recent movie. Reason?

Ayesha refused to kiss and make love onscreen. She made Kashyap rewrite her role in the film because her original portrayal demanded that she kisses John and makes love with him.

After few days, Ayesha and Anurag met again. Ayesha admitted that she wouldn’t have done the role if it was executed the way Anurag had initially planned it. Continue reading ‘Ayesha Takia puts her foot down’

Ayesha Takia is a sheer head turner. One of the prettiest looking girls in Bollywood, she is both saucy and spunky. Ayesha was born on April 10th 1986 which makes her all of 21. Her birth place is Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

The gorgeous Ayesha Takia is one of the most desirable ladies in Bollywood, especially due to her modest nature and her chirpy vivaciousness.

In an industry which is bereft with people throwing tantrums and giving starry nakhras, here is one girl who likes to walk down the simple lane of life.

After the mind-blowing BLACK FRIDAY, the next project from the highly talented but under-utilized Anurag Kashyap, NO SMOKING, is ready and is being talked about for all the right reasons.

Featuring John Abraham, Ayesha Takia, Ranvir Shorey and Saif & Bipasaha (in special appearances), NO SMOKING is all set to hit the screens on October 26.

A unique aspect of the film is that Ayesha Takia will be seen in her first double role, that of John’s nagging wife ‘Anjali’ and also his caring secretary, ‘Honey’. Though the role is small, as per Ayesha, its impact will be felt by one and all. Continue reading ‘Ayesha Takia is John Abraham’s wife and secretary both?’
