Career

Ayesha Takia began her career in the entertainment industry at 15, initially working as a model and featuring in several prominent advertisements.

Her early success in modeling led to opportunities in music videos, including the popular Shake It Daddy by DJ Aqueel, which brought her widespread recognition.

In 2004, she made her film debut in the action thriller Taarzan: The Wonder Car, directed by Abbas-Mustan.

Her performance in the film was well-received, earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Debut and the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Female.

Takia appeared in multiple films in the following years, including Shaadi No.1, Home Delivery, and Super (her debut in Tollywood) in 2005. At the same time, Super performed well at the box office, but her other projects did not succeed significantly that year.

She continued to take on diverse roles, starring in films like Salaam-e-Ishq (2007), a romantic drama with an ensemble cast, and Wanted (2009), an action thriller alongside Salman Khan. Despite receiving mixed reviews, Want emerged as one of her most commercially successful films.

Following the success of Wanted, Takia’s film career slowed down, with projects like 8 x 10 Tasveer and Paathshaala receiving lukewarm responses.

Her final film release was Mod in 2011, which did not perform well at the box office. After this, she stepped back from acting, wanting to explore life beyond the film industry.
