Ayesha Takia Biography

Not many TV viewers will be able to associate the "I am a Complan Girl" to the latest Bollywood craze and

heart-breaker - Arian Ayesha Takia.

Ayesha was born in Bombay on April 10th 1986. Her dad's name is Nishit, a Gujerati, while her mom is part

Maharashtrian and part Caucasian (British).

Ayesha had never let her lack of speaking Hindi fluently come in her way. A go-getter, she is no stranger to the

silver screen and has faced cameras even at the tender age of 4. Her continuity was what got her noticed and the

makers of 'Socha Na Tha' approached her in 2004 to play the lead role opposite Dharmendra's nephew, Abhay Deol,

which she accepted.

She also signed up for another film, 'Tarzaan The Wonder Car' - which proved to be her debut in Bollywood, as the

release of 'Socha Na Tha' was delayed.

With 'Tarzaan The Wonder Car' Ayesha quickly made her mark in Bollywood and not only was noticed but also received

an Award - The Best Filmfare Debut.

Thereafter, her films have done poorly at the Box Office, although she scored highly with teen-aged audience in

India and abroad, especially with her performance in 'Dil Maange More', and 'Shaadi No.1'.

She also appeared in a 2006 Telegu movie named 'Robbery', which was later dubbed into Hindi and released as 'Super'.

And then came Dor - in which she plays a role without any glamor - a film that brought a lot of praise and much-need

recognition for her. Here she has proved that she can enact both sexy and glamorous on one hand, and the more

ordinary, next-door-type girl roles with ease.
