DOR has been my dream role so far- Ayesha Takia

Ayesha Takia was recently in news for declining a film offer. Reason? The lady is averse to kissing onscreen. Nonetheless she is pleased as a punch. Life post DOR is rocking and she is upbeat about her forthcoming films- KYA LOVE STORY HAI, DE TAALI and SALAAM-E-ISHQ. When quizzed about accepting a negative role at this stage in her career she intones, "It all depends on how interesting or challenging the character is. Personally I feel it's better to do one good, meaningful film than six glamourous films. I guess DOR has been my dream role so far. I want to do roles that have substance and those that help me grow as an actor."
What's her take on astrology? "I don't believe in astrology. I don't think one stone or one number here and there can change your life. I've never visited an astrologer," she says.
Ask her about awards and she gets candid, "I'd be lying if I say that they don't mean anything to me. Who doesn't enjoy those 5 minutes of glory! Moreover who doesn't like being up there though its not like it's the most important thing in the world," she concludes.

Ayesha Takia's deglam role in 'Dor' has been tremendously appreciated

Nagesh Kukunoor's film 'Dor' has received good reviews and Ayesha Takia's deglam role has been tremendously appreciated. However according to sources this role had first been offered to none other than Kareena Kapoor, unfortunately though the actress turned down the role which then went to Ayesha Takia. Now we hear even noted director Karan Johar has taken note of Ayesha's splendid performance in Dor. Well this may be the key to welcoming Ayesha into the select fold of the 'Dharma Productions'.

Ayesha Takia refuses to Kiss!

Nagesh Kukunoor's Dor has opened well across the country and going by director's testimony Ayesha Takia has been a revelation in his film.According to him, at first, he was stunned when somebody suggested Ayesha's name for the role. But he knew that Naseer did cast her in his movie, he thought there must be something to her. "I watched some scenes from Socha Na Tha, and she emerged as a really natural actress. What really did it for me were the emotions on her face. She's fantastic. I'm sure Tabu and Juhi would have given powerhouse performances, but I think, in this story, the only way to create empathy is to keep the character younger," he gushes. Apparently floored by Takia, Nagesh offered her a role in his next film but we hear that she has refused the film as there's a kiss was involved in it. According to insiders, Ayesha loved the script but given its kissing situation she has no option but to reject the offer. But this is not the first time she had rejected any movie on the similar grounds. Ayesha also gave thumbs down to Yash Raj's ‘Neil N Nikki’ as she was adamant not to kiss on screen. But still Nagesh is full of praise for Ayesha. "It comes as a pleasant surprise to see a two-year old in the industry trying her hand at a new genre. At a time, when she is not even considered a bankable star to sell an art house product, her decision to act in a de-glamorised set up is laudatory," he exclaims. Way to go Miss Takia!

Glamour is fictional, says Ayesha Takia

Mumbai, Sep 16 (IANS) Actress Ayesha Takia, who has a city-bred-girl-next-door image in Bollywood, sports a de-glam look in 'Dor' and says people should focus on her character than her appearance.
'There's a lot more to my character in 'Dor' than the de-glam look. I'm playing a village girl in the film and my character required no make-up. A woman living in Rajasthan will obviously be portrayed in that manner.'
