You wonder if after marrying, Ayesha Takia Azmi has taken a sabbatical from acting and in turn paved the way for her sister Natasha Takia to enter Bollywood. But that’s speculation. We miss you Ayesha.

Meanwhile though, a starlet is on her way to become a silver screen diva. 22-year old Natasha has completely transformed herself from her once-grungy image to a polished and puckered up look.

And we are referring to a seriously grungy past. Look at the “before” picture of Natasha in her Zeenat-Aman-meets-John-Lennon look. Yes, that’s unmistakably her on the left. At the time, along with a few pubescent acne marks, the girl had some 18 piercings on her body, including her tongue, nose, ear… and the rest we leave to your fertile imagination.

The engravings have now been ironed out to reveal a smooth, unscathed new Natsha. Even signs indicating her skin might once have been worked upon, have vanished. A source reveals, “Natasha has lost a lot of weight and is keen to make it big in Bollywood. She has already started pursuing dance classes.”

If Darsheel Safary could do it, Natasha should not find it too hard.

Conversely, we recently saw the hugely-acclaimed Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and the lead actress had more than her share of piercings…

Bollywood actress-turned-business woman Ayesha Takia says her 21-year-old sister Natasha Takia is all set to enter the Hindi film industry next year. She wants her younger sibling to be welcomed by the audience like Kareena Kapoor was.

“My sister Natasha who is 21 will be in films next year. Hopefully, she’ll be welcomed in the industry like other star sisters. I’m very excited for her. Let’s hope her career works. She’s preparing herself, working out ferociously. When I started out I had no clue about these things. At least now when they know I’m her sister they’ll give her a chance,” Ayesha said.

“There’re so many beautiful girls in this country. Maybe they’ll watch Natasha at least the first time because she’s my sister. But there’s the downside. They’ll start comparing us. Audiences are so unforgiving. They give you one chance, and then they let go,” she added.

Ayesha said she would like Natasha to be received like Kareena Kapoor, who became a bigger star than her elder sister Karisma. However, other star sisters like Tanisha (younger sister of Kajol) and Shamita Shetty (younger sister of Shilpa Shetty) were cold-shouldered by the audience.

Audiences would now get to see more of Natasha and less of Ayesha on the big screen as the latter has ventured into the business world.

“I’ve done it (films) for so long. I’m now enjoying making my own rules. I’m having a ball concentrating on business ventures. My first boutique hotel in Goa is on. We are hoping to start it this season,” she said.
