All those who insisted that Paathshala would be the last time one saw Ayesha Takia (left) on screen, post her marriage to restaurateur Farhan Azmi, can now be silenced. The actress’ mother, Farida, confirms that Ayesha, who had asserted in an interview to HT in April, that she was open to doing one or two meaningful movies a year, should be back in the studio “very soon, may be in a month or two” for Revathy’s next film. Ayesha was paired oposite Salman Khan in Wanted.

Ayesha Takia has finally signed a new movie post her marriage to restaurateur Farhan Azmi. She was working on Revathy Sharma’s Aapke Liye Hum with Jaya Bachchan and Raveena Tandon but the movie has been delayed.
The new movie in question is directed by South Indian actress turned director Revathy and is a very sweet romantic film. Ayesha had said that she would do one or two meaningful movies a year and has agreed to do Revathy’s beautiful love story.

Although the restaurant opens at 7 pm, the staff at Koyla, Andheri, put on their starched uniforms an hour in advance and go about their daily chores. Arrangements are made to grill kebabs, which is the restaurant’s specialty. There is a general movement of pots and pans while we wait for the owners Farhan Azmi and Ayesha Takia to arrive. As soon as they do, Takia greets us with a warm smile. And Azmi—who owns the Colaba outlet of Koyla and both the branches of Café Basilico in Colaba and Bandra—makes it clear that this one’s a franchise outlet run by his family friend Hasan Gaffar and he is only a stake holder.

“I always knew I wanted to do things other than acting,” said actor Ayesha Takia who has stayed away from the limelight since her marriage. Takia, of course, has not retired; nor is she planning a stay-at-home career. Instead she is busy working along with her husband who runs a chain of restaurants in Mumbai. “We are planning one in Goa,” said Takia, “I am involved in it closely. From interiors to furnishing and other aspects, I am hands-on and loving it. I am also in the process of setting up a fashion line with my Mom,” said Takia. She added that actors “should keep their minds open and be vigilant for other opportunities. For me, it seems a natural digression at this time to do something else; it’s almost a natural progression,” she added. Takia is also convinced, “If you have a brand name you ought to build on it.” Hear Hear.

We think Ayesha Takia is absolutely adorable and humble as a person and quite a fine actress indeed with films like Dor and Socha Na Tha in her kitty. She will be seen in Paathshala this week. We think she could have done much better than she has and point out some of her mistakes.

Ayesha Takia is a rare actor who can at once play the girl-next-door and a super-hot item lass. Deceptively sexy, Takia succeeded in infusing life, with equal verve, to both the deglamourised character in Nagesh Kukunoor’s ‘Dor’ and that of the “shahari pataka” in Prabhu Deva’s ‘Wanted’. Come this Friday, and Ayesha would again be seen on screens with ‘Paathshaala’.

Here is a pictorial tribute to the charmer…

This Arian gal is bubby, vivacious and a talent house waiting to shine in her light. Ayesha Takia, who started her career at a tender age of four where she became popular with the “I am Complan girl” campaign, has only grown strength to strength with each of her film. Her first film Tarzan: The Wonder Car may not have done well at the box office but she did win a Filmfare best debut award in 2004 for it. She proved her mettle in Dor which is probably one of her best film till date.
