AYESHA TAKIA |
Ayesha Takia-Azmi
is an Indian actress (born April 10, 1986) who mainly appears in Bollywood
films. She made her film debut in Taarzan: The Wonder Car for which she won the
Filmfare Best Debut Award in 2004. Her most recent commercial successful was
the 2009 film Wanted (2009).
Takia began her
career as a model appearing in the famous I am a Complan Boy! I’m a Complan
Girl! campaign alongside Shahid Kapoor and also in Falguni Pathak's "Meri
Chunar Udd Udd Jaye" music video when she was fifteen. When she was 18,she
appeared in the music video Shake It Daddy, which brought her to the attention
of Bollywood, and a few film offers followed. She signed a contract to appear
in Socha Na Tha, then for Taarzan: The Wonder Car. However, delays making Socha
Na Tha meant that Taarzan was 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.
Takia has appeared
in a number of films that did poorly at the box office. However, she has been
highly praised for her work in the 2006 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 several awards for her performance in the film
Dor, including the Zee Cine Critics Award for Best Actress.
Apart from
Bollywood, Takia has also appeared in the 2005 Telugu film Super with Tollywood
star Akkineni Nagarjuna, for which she was nominated for Filmfare Best Actress
Award (Telugu). Her most recent hit was in Prabhu Deva's Wanted (2009 film)
co-starring Salman Khan, which emerged as the one of the biggest blockbusters
of 2009. The film was third highest grossing movie of the year and her role met
with positive reviews.
In 2011, she
starred in Mod which met with good response. As on 2012, Ayesha hosted the not
much awaited musical-reality show called Sur Kshetra.
