"My sex appeal is my attitude!" - Ayesha Takia

By IndiaFM News Bureau, March 02nd, 2005 - 1430 hrs IST


In the later half of the chit-o-chat Ayesha gabs us about the Bollywood newbies, how it feels to have an elite fan following and what she'll say 'nahi-nahi abhi nahi' to…

The industry says there is not enough female talent to go around. Do you agree?
Not just female talent, there is a dearth of fresh talent in every field. But I don't necessarily agree with the fact that we don't have good female talent. Priyanka Chopra is someone that I look upto. She is from the new lot and looks like she is here to do a damn good job! Amrita Rao is a sweetheart. And I am trying hard too…

One thing that you guys heavily score on
I think it's great to be full of life. Having youth on your side is another plus point that works for us. Besides, you should know your job well. Nobody is here to father poor talent.

Okay, now give me one thing that the fresh crop sorely lack
Hey I think we are doing pretty well. But yes I do believe that we have a lot to learn.

"Poor talent doesn't find a father"
One thing you miss in the current Bollywood films?
Nothing really. Besides, I think I am too new to answer that.

A Khan you want to be paired with?
I have been the greatest fan of Aamir. I wanted to marry him when I was 8! I have been watching Shah Rukh's film a lot of late. And I think he is too charismatic for words!

You have a fan in Preity Zinta. How does that feel?
Simply fabulous! I think its high praise coming from a senior co-actor like her. It's extremely encouraging.

"I find Shah Rukh very charismatic"
Give me one actor from the current Gen who will make a good pair with Ayesha?
I think I look good with most guys! (Chuckles)

You think Bollywood is fair to its women?
We've got to accept that the industry is male dominated. We are learning to deal with it best. If you have the mettle, I think good work will find its way to you.

What do you think is the price of stardom?
No price is too high for a career in Bollywood. I love my job!

"I am not okay with blatant exposure"
Do you believe in mushy love stories?
Yes I do! I can be quite a dreamy eyed girl.

What would you say 'Nahi nahi kabhi nahi..' to?
Anything that I am uncomfortable with. It could be a line, a costume or a person. If it doesn't agree with me, then there is nothing that will get me to do it.

How comfortable are you with onscreen intimacy?
Blatant exposure is not welcome. But if it were to be captured aesthetically, then well I shouldn't have a problem.

Your sex appeal is…
My attitude. It's all about what's in the head
