Ayesha Takia Azmi born as Ayesha Takia (Hindi: आयेशा टाकिया; born 10 April 1986) is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood films.
Early life
Ayesha Takia was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra to a Gujarati father, Nishit, and an Anglo-Indian (half British and half Marathi) mother, Faridah. She attended St. Anthony's High School. Her mother is a Muslim and she was raised as one. She has a younger sister named Natasha. She is also the cousin of Abdul Zafar
Career
Ayesha started her career with the "I am a Complan Girl!" advertising campaign and she also appeared in a music video, Falguni Pathak's Meri Chunarii Udd Udd Jaye, when she was fifteen. The complan ad campaign also had Shahid Kapoor as a child actor. She then appeared in the video, Shake It Daddy, when she was sixteen, which brought her to the attention of the movie industry, and a few film offers followed. She signed a contract for Socha Na Tha. However, there were delays in making Socha Na Tha so Taarzan released first and was therefore her "debut" film. She won the Filmfare Best Debut Award in 2004 for her performance in Taarzan: The Wonder Car. She earned critical acclaim for her performance in Nagesh Kukunoor's Dor with Taran Adarsh of Indiafm.com writing,". She accepted non-glamorous roles, which most actors don't do at the start of their career." [1]
Her latest release Wanted costarring Salman Khan has emerged as the one of the biggest blockbusters of 2009.[2]
Personal life
On March 1, 2009, she got married to Farhan Azmi, a restaurateur and the son of politician Abu Azmi, a Samajwadi Party leader.[3] The couple had originally planned to marry in December 2008, but the wedding was delayed due to the Mumbai attacks.
