Post marriage, this beautiful lady was just seen with Salman Khan in WANTED. Ayesha’s fans are waiting to see her sizzle up the screen once again. But she is busy spending some quality time with her husband Farhan Azmi.

During this break, Ayesha had colored her hair to golden brown and was seen flaunting her locks wherever she could. But now this actress will have to change her hair color back to black. This order has been given by director Nagesh Kukunoor, as Ayesha has signed his next movie.

This will be Ayesha’s first movie after WANTED, that can also be considered as her comeback because she has been away from films since her marriage. She is super excited to work with her favorite filmmaker and has no qualms in changing her hair color for his movie.

Ayesha received tons of compliments for her brown hair and she is eagerly waiting to see how people respond when she changes the hue to black again. Hope the comments Ayesha would receive make her happy!

After her surprise hit with Dabangg star Salman Khan in ‘Wanted’, Bollywood bombshell Ayesha Takia’s career seems to have gone spiraling down with only one noticeable movie ‘Paatshaala’ with ‘Kaminey’ star.Shahid Kapoor. However here’s one video of the beauty that will have the youth of the country going “ga-ga” over her! In an exclusive Ayesha Takia photoshoot for ace photographer Daboo Ratnani, the actress looks sizzling in an excellent collection of dresses.

The actress adorns various dresses, some sleeveless, some very short while some just can’t be expressed in words! Now Mrs. Ayesha Takia Aazmi, says that she enjoyed doing the photoshoot and it was fun working with Daboo. Daboo has a huge portfolio to his name with majority of the Bollywood stars already being clicked by him in various shoots around the world. He says that Ayesha is one actress he always wanted to shoot as she is very bubbly and drop-dead gorgeous!
After her marriage, this is the first time the actress has appeared in such a sensational photoshoot. With all credit to the man behind the camera, the stunning beauty has hit the bulls-eye with her titillating looks and picture perfect poses. Talking about the shoot, she says, “Its all very high end – the high heels, the high fashion and the slightly over the top makeup. But it does make me look glam and very, very sexy (wink)”. Meanwhile Daboo’s favorite dress from the shoot is one where Ayesha poses in short black dress and looks all very alluring in the eye of the camera.
A must watch for all Ayesha Takia lovers, the video of the Ayesha Takia photoshoot .

Ayesha Takia was last seen in Salman Khan’s Wanted. Finally after a long gap he willl be seen in Revathy Varmha’s Hamesha I will love you opposite Anant Narayan.

The movie Hamesha I will love you is a love saga where Anant will play the role of an affable bachelor and Ayesha of a joly family girl. As soon as Revathy completed the script, she knew Ayesha is the only girl who can execute this role properly.

As of now Revathy is busy with Aap Ke Liye Hum, a hindi remake of 2005 Tamil movie. Ayesha Takia, Raveena Tandon and R. Madhavan are playing lead role in it.

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.

Revathi’s film in question is not Aap Ke Liye Hum, toplining Jaya Bachchan, Raveena Tandon and Ayesha that the actor-director has been juggling with. After a major schedule was cancelled for the third time, following Revathy’s emergency knee surgery after a particularly nasty fall, that project has been temporarily shelved.

But Ayesha who was reported to be miffed after her dates went waste repeatedly, has given the nod to another script. “Ayesha was approached by Revathy a month ago for another film and she will be doing it,” says Farida.
Her co-star in the film is said to be Kunal Khemu. The actor’s business manager admits that Revathy did give Kunal an exciting one-line narration for the same film. “Kunal is waiting to read the final script before he takes a call. Revathy was supposed to get back to us by May end but we haven’t heard from her yet,” informs Abbas.

Ayesha Takia has triumphed over the cult of celebrity. The eager girl-next-door, at what could’ve been the height of her career, post her glam role in Prabhudeva’s Wanted (2008) pulled a Houdini on Bollywood.
After getting married at 23 to long-time beau and South Bombay restauteur, Farhan Azmi, Takia took a break from cinema. As eager fans get ready to welcome back the young bride with her Friday release, Paathshaala, we caught up with her to find out about her new identity. There’s hospitality and fashion in her kitty. Movies have taken a backseat for now, as she unwinds in the glow of the setting sun on the terrace of Farhan Azmi’s Colaba lounge, Koyla.
Your movie Paathshaala is releasing this week. Is this your comeback?
I shot this movie much before I got married. It’s a fantastic script made by my good friends, Ahmed and Shaira Khan. It’s also a very relevant script because it touches topics like peer pressure and basic educational pressure. Kids today have unnecessary ambitions and are committing suicide due to reality shows. I did the movie because of these issues. But as far as my comeback is concerned, I never quit Bollywood in the first place!
But you disappeared at the height of your career after Wanted released?
You know lot of people told me that I was marrying Farhan at a bad time. Wanted was about to release and it did become the biggest hit of my career. But I am a person who follows her gut instinct. I just knew I was ready to marry Farhan and I knew it would change things. But I also didn’t want to do the glam roles anymore. I took a break and it put things in order. Now I am open to doing only one or two meaningful movies a year.
Do you have any more movies lined up?
Well, I do have Aap Ke Liye Hai Hum, directed by Revathy with Jaya Bachchan. Unfortunately, it’s stalled for the moment. But like I said, I’m open to meaningful cinema. I don’t want to stand in the back of a scene and look pretty. I want to act.
Who are your role models?
My family. I am a complete family person. Farhan and my mother Farida, are just some of the people who have impacted my life in a major way. They are with me all the time and life without them is non-existent. I learn from people in my proximity. If I see someone who is emotional, I want to imbibe that. Because I have been criticised for being too practical and unemotional.
Movies aside, what else are you dabbling in?
I’m glad you asked. I am so happy I took this break from movies. Farhan and I are working on so many projects. We have become business partners and are currently designing this boutique hotel in Goa called Basilico House. We’re just taking the Basilico brand further. I have been involved in the designing of the hotel and I have all these ideas about the hospitality of the hotel. We are also setting up chic coffee shops across Mumbai called Chai Coffee and the first one will open up in Andheri in the next six months. I have been sitting in boardroom meetings and breaking my head over interiors and design decisions. It’s very exciting.
How did you get interested in business vis-à-vis something creative like acting?
I think actors should keep their minds vigilant and open all the time. You should use the opportunities from the name you’ve created to do many other things, besides acting. Heroes have a longer shelf life than actresses do. At the end of the day, actresses make less money and have a smaller share of the limelight. I always knew I wanted to do things other than acting. With Farhan, it just seemed natural.

How do you feel about the school of thought that post marriage, an actress doesn’t get work?
I think in this day and age, if someone thinks they can get away with this excuse, they are fooling themselves. Maybe choices get limited, but those limits are self-imposed. Personally, I discovered fashion and hospitality.
So is fashion also something on your mind?
Well, I am also doing this fashion line with my mother, Farida. I still don’t have a name for it. But I am willing to build a brand that will bring unique apparel and accessories to people. The idea is expression and novelty.
Do you feel you have transitioned from an actor to a businesswoman?
I think I am ready for the change. Ever since I was a little girl, all I have wanted to do was act. Movies happened and life was set. After I got married, my eyes opened and I found myself translating the same passion into the hotel line. I truly feel that I’ve grown up, which is why I want to do movies that I am aiming for.
Any unfulfilled dreams left?
I want to take brand Ayesha forward, and yes, the sky is the limit.

Ayesha Takia has been basking in the glory of Wanted, in which she starred opposite Salman Khan. However, the actress is not keen on more success in Bollywood. Yes, after having married hotelier Farhan Azmi last year, the actress decided to call it quits where acting is concerned.

On the other hand, Ayesha is all set to take a new avatar. She will be joining her husband in expanding the hotel business, sources say. If this is true, then Ayesha’s last film would be Paathshala.

In the Bollywood industry heroines after marriage often makes a disappearing act or often wed late to reign their film career. Ayesha who has finally tied her knot with Farhan Azmi is rumored to make a disappearing act from film as she is bound to observe all the conventional rules after marriage.

But Ayesha has a different story to add about her in-laws and said it is ridiculous to hear such rumors that have no connection in her real life. Ayesha added, “I’m amazed at the games people play. The other day someone asked me if I’ve started wearing a burqa after marriage. Far from feeling clamped I now have the freedom to do more things than before. My parents-in-law are cool about my business ventures with my husband and my film career.”

With a light air to the rumors, she stated, “Farhan and I went around together for five years before marriage. So there goes the conservative card. Suddenly after we make it official I hear all kind of rumours including the fact that I’m out of Revathy Varmha’s film and that I’ve been replaced by some other actress.”

After the sensational hit of her film ‘Wanted’, Ayesha is more determined to carry on with good projects even after marriage and currently she is into with Revathy Varmha’s film.

In perspective to it she added, “I’ve never felt the need to grab roles. I’ve got what I wanted. And it will continue that way. I always felt ‘Wanted’ would be the first big hit of my career. Ironical that it should come now after my marriage. And I’ve got more to do in it than the leading lady in a Salman vehicle would be expected to. In fact I was blown away by the way I was presented. And why should I give up a dream role like the one in Revathy’s film? She’s new to the Mumbai industry and quite nervous about these controversies.”

Moreover, she is driving into another direction apart from the film career that is into clotheslines section along with her mother and sister.

Is clothesline direction is an option to quit her film career or Ayesha is more excited in her unconventional ways even after marriage?

Marriage or no marriage Ayesha Takia is not going to let go off sexy dressing sense. The actress seen here is in one of the most desirable of attires. Ayesha who gave a huge hit after her marriage through Wanted is a much in demand actress now, what with some of the sexiest roles going her way.

The actress is taking them all up and she is pretty happy with the way her career is going.

Ayesha said recently that she is not averse to doing Tollywood films also as long as the roles are challenging. Ayesha may well be seen in Telugu movies soon, till such time, enjoy her in this sexy picture.

Creative Quotient:
Pokkiri, the Tamil original, penned by Poori Jagannath, was a a runaway hit – and it will be hardly surprising if the Hindi adaptation follows suit. Race writer Shiraz Ahmed adapts the story very well. Radhe (Salman), a hitman, changes sides and partners as per his convenience and conviction. “Maine ek baar commitment kar diya to main apni bhi nahi sunta” is his motto. He roams around freely without any fear with his set of friends-cum-henchmen. He runs into Janhavi (Ayesha), a pretty call-centre worker and as the lecherous police inspector Talpade (Mahesh Manjrekar) devises ways and means to captivate Jahnavi, uncannily Radhe rescues her every time and eventually the two end up getting romantically involved.

As the stories of his brutal courage spread, international don Ganibhai (Prakash Raj) hires him. The story takes some dramatic turns to establish Radhe’s heroism. The script is convincing, well-justified and brought to a magnificent conclusion. The writer peppers up the film with some punchy one-liners and the screenplay is so taut and gripping too. Prabhudheva makes a stunning directorial debut, he sure keeps the viewer enraptured.

Technical Expertise:
Director Prabhudheva blends in emotion, action and comedy into a nice wholesome entertainment package. The film opens with a Ganpati procession song that has Govinda, Anil Kapoor and Prabhudheva grooving along with Salman. But the good thing about the direction is that he steers clear of overdoing choreography as he hires his brother Raju Sundaram and Vaibhavi Merchant to do the rest of the songs. The sleight-of-hand scene between Radhe and corrupt inspector Talpade is executed very well and makes for a cinematic thrill. Also, the sequence in which dreaded don Ganibhai tries to escape from police custody only to find himself marooned makes for a hilarious watch.

Salman is the life and soul of the film as he swings into his part effortlessly. He’s a natural in the action scenes, thoroughly convincing as he twirls and swirls the revolver. He’s simply the most wanted in the film. Ayesha Takia Azmi looks fresh and appealing. Her styling is also youthfully pleasant. Prakash Raj, the National Award winner, lends his villain act a cutting comic edge. He’s a villain to watch out for. Mahesh Manjrekar is convincing in his revolting role as the paan-spewing corrupt cop.

Action director Vijayan Master makes a huge contribution to the film with his slick action sequences. Sajid – Wajid’s music score is engaging and the slow romantic number is specially very soothing on the ear and a delightful watch for it’s catchy choreography. Nirav Shah’s camerawork is scintillating. On the whole, this is the film that we call paisa vasool!

She’s even more talkative than she was before marriage — obviously, becoming Mrs. Ayesha Farhan Azmi has made Ayesha Takia even more effervescent. What’s more, hubby seems to have proved professionally lucky for her, for “Wanted,” which released Sept. 18, is her first-ever hit and blockbuster. “Wanted,” directed by India’s top choreographer, Prabhudeva, making his filmmaking debut, stars Salman Khan as a hit-man who comes up against corrupt Mumbai police and a doozy of a bad guy (National Award winner Prakash Raj).

Producer Boney Kapoor announced Sept. 25 that he was planning a sequel to “Wanted,” which he said earned Rs. 40 crores its first week alone.

Indian PR being what it is, the interviews are held a mere three days before the release so we have to look at a pre-“Wanted” feel in her answers.

For those who came in late, Ayesha Takia’s first film, “Socha Na Tha,” also marked the debuts of Abhay Deol and Imtiaz Ali, but it was delayed and so she made her first impression with Abbas-Mustan’s “Taarzan – The Wonder-Car” (2004). The only film of Ayesha’s that did average business was “Shaadi Se Pehle” (2006), since even films like “Dil Maange More!!!” with Shahid Kapoor, “8X10 Tasveer” with Akshaye Khanna, big films like “Salaam-e-Ishq” and “Shaadi No.1” and even her acclaimed “Dor,” failed to meet box-office expectations. Before that, she was a child model who was a star in her own right who according to her then-co-child star Shahid Kapoor was into throwing tantrums! We start the interview on that note.

Excerpts from an interview with India-West:

Q: Met Shahid Kapoor recently and he says that as a child he hated you as you would throw tantrums and make him cool his heels on the sets!

A: (Laughs loudly) He is right! I was a brat, since I was a star of sorts and he had started modeling after me! But when we worked on “Dil Maange More!!!” and “Fool’N’Final” we got along fine.

Q: How similar is the character of “Wanted” to your real self?

A: I think that no matter how different a character I play, a little bit of me seeps into every role. I am keeping my fingers crossed now — “Wanted” is a good product, and what is important is that the film should be a hit.

Q: How was the rapport with Salman Khan? And does the age difference show?

A: Actually, we girls have to be careful about looks. Men as a rule start looking great as they age, and that’s true of Salman Khan too. My husband Farhan looks hotter than when I first met him and so I wonder how he will look when he touches 35! It’s we women who have to worry! Salman was a great co-star — very caring and supportive.

Q: Are you really quitting films now that you are married?

A: Frankly, I have no clue where that came from! I never said that I am quitting, nor does my husband want me to do so. I will act as long as the people want to watch me. My next film is Revathy’s next, with Jaya Bachchan. I am looking for a blend of commercial appeal and scope for acting; I have always done that.

Q: What do you think of Abhay Deol, your first co-star’s, present work?

A: I am really proud of Abhay and where he has reached doing the kind of work that he believes in. Let me tell you a secret — among my own films, our “Socha Na Tha” is still my favorite, not “Dor” that got me more acclaim.

Q: Do you have any wish-list of co-stars?

A: Shah Rukh Khan, of course! (laughs) I recently shook hands with him at an awards function and did not feel like washing it forever!
