I would never Kiss or Strip-Ayesha Takia
Tuesday, February 5, 2008
She said no to Nagesh Kukunoor, the guy who gave her career's best bollywood film Dor.

"I just couldn't do the kissing scene in Aashayein. We tried to find a way out. But it didn't work out for me.

Fortunately for me, Nagesh is a dear friend. He didn't hold my no against me. We completed Tasveer with Akshay Kumar in Canada. And there was nothing there to make me uncomfortable."

Bollywood Actress Ayesha Takia is aware that her more uninhibited colleagues are making hey-hey-hey while she refuses to get bold on camera.

"But I don't mind losing out on roles. At least ten years from now I don't want to look back and cringe at anything. I've a family and a boyfriend. And I don't want to embarrass anyone."

Ayesha has an exciting year ahead with films with big-league heroes. "I'm working with Actor Ajay Devgan in Sunday, Akshay Kumar in Nagesh Kukunoor's supernatural-psychological thriller Tasveer. We shot it in one stretch in Canada.

Then I've Prabhu Deva's Wanted, an action film with Bollywood Actor Salman Khan. Here I don't have much to do. I hang around doing whatever leading ladies do …sing, dance and purse my lips when the hero fights," she says with disarming honesty.

Candid in her self-assessment, she sees a boyfriend as no impediment to her career.

"In fact I'm so glad Farhan is no part of the industry. And that he's a self- made man who loves me for whom I am. I don't think having a boyfriend is any problem for a career.

The only annoying part of having a boyfriend is that every time I've a release I'm informed by the press that I'm getting married in two months. It irritates me. When I get married I'll announce it from rooftops. I'm proud of my boyfriend." says Actress Ayesha Takia

Boyfriend is no problem. But her selfcensorship code does hamper her onward progression. "There're things that I wouldn't do, like kiss and wear certain kinds of clothes.

And yes that does put me at a disadvantage. But I'm very happy with the work that I'm getting. After Dor I'm being taken seriously as an actress. "

Last year she had a patch of rough whether when Salaam-e-Ishq and No Smoking bombed. "Everyone kept asking why I reappeared in No Smoking in a double role.

I'd like all questions about that film to be directed to the director Anurag Kashyap. please. I've no clue.It was small role, just ten days' work I'd do another film for Anurag anytime. He's a friend.

Bollywood explores bolder themes
Saturday, December 29, 2007
Remember Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai where the veteran actress Suhasini Mulay played a distressed mother who watches in dismay as her son, played by Akshaye Khanna, falls for an older woman?

In Naseeruddin Shah's Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota, Suhasini played a woman who becomes the object of adoration of a much younger man, played by Irrfan Khan.

There have been films like Dil Chahta Hai, Anmol and Being Cyrus - all featuring Dimple Kapadia - where a 40-plus woman has fallen for a much younger man.

Producer Sudhish Rambhotla of Hyderabad's ColorChips production house is currently planning a film with Sammir Dattani that is based on The Summer Of 42. Rambhotla wants Rekha, Shabana or Dimple to play the romantic lead opposite the young actor.

"Why not?" said Irrfan. "Hindi cinema is maturing and it's wonderful to be part of a film like Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota. I played opposite Suhasini. I'm a guy who looked for a mother figure in love. It was definitely a departure from the way

man-woman relationships are depicted in films these days."

Irrfan played a working class man in his 40s totally besotted by an older woman.

"My character adored the woman to the point of worship. She's very classy and I'm nothing but a diversion for her. She'd happily make love to another man if she found someone more interesting," said Irrfan.

"Suhasini and I shared a very important lovemaking scene, a part of which was edited in the final cut. But the scene combined food and sex. We went into this whole sensuous culinary mood...

"It was bizarre and fascinating. I had never done anything like this," confessed Irrfan who started his career making violent love to Dimple Kapadia in Govind Nihalani's Drishti.

Ayesha Takia says NO to kiss and love scenes
Tuesday, October 23, 2007

Ayesha Takia has been dictating her own terms as far as her role is concerned. Actually when she was approached by film maker Anurag Kashyap for the film “No Smoking”, which also stars John Abraham, she was quite unconvinced with her role.

Now in the film, Ayesha has a double role. She plays John’s wife and secretary. Though she is quite ok with her role as the wife, but she made Kashyap rewrite the role of the secretary.

“The secretary is insane about her boss and desperate about having an affair with him”, quotes Ayesha, who has done away with the few kissing and love making scenes from the script. In fact, Ayesha convinced Kashyap to redraft her entire role to suit her interest.

This surely will come as a respite to John’s beau Bipasha. Now that’s what we call a “Starry Stance” Ayesha………
