Not many TV viewers will be able to associate the “I am a Complan Girl” to the latest Bollywood craze and heart-breaker – Arian Ayesha Takia.
Ayesha was born in Bombay on April 10th 1986. Her dad’s name is Nishit, a Gujerati, while her mom is part Maharashtrian and part Caucasian (British).
Ayesha had never let her lack of speaking Hindi fluently come in her way. A go-getter, she is no stranger to the silver screen and has faced cameras even at the tender age of 4. Her continuity was what got her noticed and the makers of ‘Socha Na Tha’ approached her in 2004 to play the lead role opposite Dharmendra’s nephew, Abhay Deol, which she accepted.
She also signed up for another film, ‘Tarzaan The Wonder Car’ – which proved to be her debut in Bollywood, as the release of ‘Socha Na Tha’ was delayed.
Thereafter, her films have done poorly at the Box Office, although she scored highly with teen-aged audience in India and abroad, especially with her performance in ‘Dil Maange More’, and ‘Shaadi No.1′.
And then came Dor – in which she plays a role without any glamor – a film that brought a lot of praise and much-need recognition for her. Here she has proved that she can enact both sexy and glamorous on one hand, and the more ordinary, next-door-type girl roles with ease.
She is a vegetarian, and enjoys going for long drives, reading, spending time with family, amongst others.
Now Ayesha is one of the most gorgeous and beautiful actresses – much sought after by movie makers, and a force to be reckoned with – especially for other leading ladies of Bollywood.
She is a Mumbaite and comes from a mixed family. Her father is Gujarati, and her mother is half British and half Maharashtrian Muslim.
She listens to loads of hip-hop, techno, trance, soft rock, rock, and also loves Ghazals, Sufi, and Hindi film music. Her favorite Indian artists are Ghulam Ali and Abeeda Parveen.
Loves to listen to stories of the character she is playing in upcoming films, holidays, coffee, dancing, music, reading, traveling, & her favorite thing to do is sitting at cafés over conversation with people she likes.
Her favorite actors from childhood are Johnny Depp, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Shahrukh Khan. Her favorite actresses are Priyanka Chopra, Rani Mukherjee, and her all-time favorite is Sridevi. Ayesha finds there are many good directors, but she has always liked Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Won the Filmfare Best Debut Award 2004 for Taarzan.
In 2006, she was amongst the Top Ten on the listing of India’s 50 Most Desirable Women Alive, a poll conducted by Zoom, an Indian TV channel.
Her father’s name is Nishit, her mother’s name is Faridah, and her younger sister’s name is Natasha.
Before entering films, she appeared in two music videos: Falguni Pathak’s Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye, when she was fifteen. She then appeared in the video, Shake It Daddy by Dee Jay Aqeel, when she was sixteen, which brought her to the attention of the movie industry, and a few film offers followed.
Her favorite film Yash Chopra film is Lamhe (1991) since it has Sridevi in it. Another favorite is Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995). She said that the role of Kajol in the movie is her dream role.
Had to learn Urdu to act, but she only had to learn diction because she came from a family where she speaks more of English at home.
Says her role model is her mother.
Went to St. Anthony’s school, but never went to college because she started to work when she turned sixteen.
Fasted the entire month of Ramadan out of love for boyfriend Farhan Azmi.
Her dad interacts with her producers because he handles her dates. She only interacts with her directors and says her mom handles her life.
Says if she weren’t an actress she would be a would be a travel show hostess, as she loves to travel and would still be in front of the camera.
Is scared of heights and everything that has risks involved.
Neither smokes nor drinks.
Her bad habit is chewing nails right to the skin.

Bobby Deol worked with Abbas-Mustan [in 'Humraaz'] and they are good friends. I was in his home production, and so he told them about me. Abbas-Mustan thought ‘Kabhi Socha Na Tha’ will release first and were hence reluctant to cast me. But a few days later, they called me and told me I was in ‘Taarzan’.
In ‘Taarzan’, I play a London-based girl who comes to India to study. Of course, Vatsal and I fall in love. I have been strictly told not to reveal anything more. My producer and directors will be furious if I start telling the public what they should expect in the film. I think many films do not fare well even in the initial stages, simply because the publicity gives it all away. Thank God, we have carefully guarded it. ‘Taarzan’ is a very clean film which can be seen with your family. You will not squirm in your seats like you did in some recent films.
Firstly, I cannot do what Meghna Naidu, Mallika Sherawat or Neha Dhupia did in ‘Hawas’, ‘Murder’, and ‘Julie’ respectively. Neither can I do a ‘Girlfriend.’ Yes, I can wear short tops and minis, but I would be uncomfortable wearing anything more revealing. And don’t forget Bhagyashree and Juhi Chawla never did any bold and brazen stuff in their first ventures to get noticed. ‘Taarzan’ will get noticed, and then, so will Vatsal and me.
I have been doing ads since I was four years old. I must have done 60 ads by now. Ever since I was five, I had told my relatives I wanted to be an actress. My first music video was Falguni Pathak’s ‘Meri Chuna’r when I was 15. Then came ‘Shake It Daddy’, which brought me a lot of recognition.
As an actress I want to do all roles that would inspire or challenge me. The first film that I did was not like the usual commercial flick, so I am trying to do varied roles.
I have been the greatest fan of Aamir Khan. I wanted to marry him when I was 8! I have been watching Shahrukh Khan’s films a lot of late. And I think he is too charismatic for words!
My sex appeal is my attitude!
I love movies. So, I will continue to do work that interests me. I want to do every kind of film. You are going to see me for a long-long time.
The first thing I look out for are the people who are making the film because if I can’t enjoy my experiences and they are a pain to be around then I won’t enjoy it. Then of course I have to enjoy the role I am offered, unless I can do that I can’t give my best. Banners and good directors do matter too.
I’ve been earning something since I was a child. Recently I have bought a car – my Honda city and I am thrilled.
No price is too high for a career in Bollywood. I love my job!
I don’t believe in astrology. I don’t think one stone or number here and there can change your life. I’ve never visited an astrologer.
I observed rozas with my boyfriend, Farhan. I have decided to observe all of them. Let’s see how many can I manage.
In Shaadi No. 1, I am playing Bhavana who is married to Fardeen Khan. As she thinks that a husband is God’s gift, she keeps on praying without understanding the needs of marital life.
I have turned down roles like Chameli (2003) because I do not aspire to reach on top this way. I have always opted for different kind of roles and I depend on my work and skills rather than on my skin like many other women in the industry.
I have to face my family, my boyfriend and in future my kids also. I don’t want to embarrass them because of my dare bare acts! So, I don’t want to do anything which looks obscene on the screen. Today, if I have to face my family and boyfriend, tomorrow I have to face my kids also. How will I justify my exposure and appearances in a bra? I have some responsibility towards my family and I will never compromise for that. I was very clear in my mind from day one.
