Unlike her contemporaries, Ayesha Takia has no qualms about talking about her relationship. "I don't like to hide my relationship," she says, adding, "I think people in the industry hide their relationships because they are unsure. I have been seeing Farhan Azmi for around three years now." "In the beginning, I didn't tell everybody about it, for we were not sure about the future. But now that we know we will get married some day, I don't mind talking about it. I am madly in love with Farhan and am fortunate that I met him," says the Fool 'N' Final actress.
She adds, "Farhan is a self made man. He began from scratch and is successful today. He values his culture and traditions. His father is a politician and he is a restaurateur. I am proud of the respect he gets for being what he is." How does she find time for her non-filmi boyfriend amid her shooting schedule? She says, "I meet him when I am not busy shooting. We often go out for dinners. We go to a sea facing place and spend time together. Both of us love food and like to experiment new cuisines, so it is fun to go to a new eatery each time." So, is wedding her next step? "There's still time for marriage," says Ayesha and adds, "Ultimately I want to get married, be a housewife and look after my family. I want to travel a lot and maybe start a restaurant on my own."
About her films she says, "For me, it is important to keep doing the kinds of films I like. A film like Fool 'N' Final, where there are 14 main characters and I don't have a bigger role still satisfies me." She adds, "It doesn't matter that I am not doing 10 big banner films. I like to live my life on my terms. I am quite choosy. I take two three days to take a final decision about the film I sign. "
