Guwahati: Ayesha Takia has been the ‘It’ girl of Bollywood. Though she had a very short span of a career in the entertainment industry, the Paathshaala actress left a lasting impact on everyone’s mind. She is celebrating her 35th birthday today.
From her Complan ad to Bollywood movies, the jaw-dropping transformation left everyone in awe of her. Noy just this, her innocent cute face added fuel to her transformation making everyone fall in love with her.
Now, as the Wanted actress is celebrating her 35th birthday today, let’s go down memory lane and relive her journey and transformation.
The actress debuted with Tarzan: The Wonder Car but she managed to make a huge room in people’s hearts with Imtiaz Ali’s first film with debutant Abhay Deol in Socha Na Tha. Many still consider the movie to be Ali’s best to date even though people are huge fans of his Jab We Met and Rockstar.
It’s so difficult not to like her in the movie as it was perhaps one of the strongest female characters written in those days. She blended with the character so well that it seemed like she was living it. From there on her journey began and the actress did some good films too like Dor.
But before movies happened to her, Ayesha was one of the common faces in music videos, a trend that made the 90s such a better decade to be. From being in commercials to doing cutesy roles in music videos and films, Ayesha has come a long way.
Before she entered Bollywood, what brought Ayesha Takia into the limelight was being featured in Falguni Pathak’s ‘Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye’ music video. She was featured in the video as a teenager and looked the part with her innocent eyes and childlike gestures.
She studied at St Anthony’s Girls High School in Chembur and started her modelling career at age 15 when she became part of a children’s health drink campaign. She got married to Farhan Azmi, politician Abu Azmi’s son, in 2009. She has a son, Mikail, with her husband.
