Anything you do or say gets filtered through the lens of whatever they are going through at the moment, which is totally not about you."
Ayesha's film journey:
Ayesha Takia made her Bollywood debut with 'Taarzan: The Wonder Car' in 2004. For the role, she won the Best Debut award. She acted opposite Vatsal Sheth in the fantasy-thriller film. The film was loosely based on the American film 'Christine', which was also remade in Marathi as 'Ek Gadi Baki Anadi'. Before she entered Bollywood, what brought Ayesha Takia into the limelight was being featured in Falguni Pathak's 'Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye' music video. She was featured in the video as a teenager and looked the part with her innocent eyes and childlike gestures.
Meanwhile, Ayesha also appeared in several films which did not do well at the box office. There was one film, however, for which her performance was widely applauded. It was in the 2006 film 'Dor', a small-budget film, in which she got the opportunity to showcase her acting chops. Ayesha played a young widowed Rajasthani woman living in a traditional joint family. She won several awards for her performance.
Besides Bollywood, Ayesha Takia has also appeared in the 2005 Telugu film 'Super' opposite Tollywood star Akkineni Nagarjuna. In 2011, she starred in the film Mod, which received a fairly good response. That was her last film.
