Bollywood Actress Ayesha Takia Profile


Ayesha Takia was born and raised in Mumbai. Her father is a Gujarati and her mother is half British and half Maharashtiran. No wonder then that she grew up speaking English at home.

Modeling since the age of four, Ayesha first appeared in a music video of Phalguni Pathak. Later on, she was noticed in the loaded-with-oomph-video titled ‘Shake It Daddy’. Not only did she garner the public’s attention but also bagged her first film.

Ayesha made her debut in Bollywood with Taarzan: The Wonder Car. She went on to do Socha Na Tha which was a debut vehicle for the Deol lad, Abhay. Both the films didn’t do very well at the box-office.

Later, she did quite a few films and none of them were worth a mention. Then came Dor, a smaller budget film in which she plays the role of a young widowed Rajasthani woman living in a traditional joint family. She went on to win a Zee Cine Critics Award for Best Actress for her performance.

In a poll conducted by Zoom, an Indian TV channel, Ayesha featured as one of the 50 most desirable women of India. This vivacious lady has been dating restaurateur, Farhan Azmi since quite some time, though they have no intenntions of getting married any time soon.

Date of Birth : 10 April 1986
Place of Birth : Bombay, India

Vidya Balan Loves George Clooney


“He is very charming and unfortunately, very inaccessible,” says the actor.

Stars like Brad Pitt, Enrique and Tom Cruise keep coming and going… but George Clooney will always be there,” she says with a huge smile on her face.

This discussion on men begins when Vidya is asked why she is always linked with her co-stars. “I am single and therefore an easy target. But if people have to link me, I would rather they do it with Clooney,” she laughs.

And what about the Indian men, why are they so ignored by the beauty? “Can’t think of anyone from India. And actually, if I take just one name, others will get offended,” she grins.
