Ayesha Takia’s sister steps into her shoes

Says Ayesha Takia Azmi, “My sister Natasha (Takia) who"s 21, will be in films next year. Hopefully she"ll be welcomed in the industry like other star sisters. I"m very excited for her. Let"s hope her career works. She"s preparing herself, working out ferociously. When I started out I had no clue about these things. At least now when they know I"m her sister they"ll give her a chance. There"re so many beautiful girls in this country. Maybe they"ll watch Natasha at least the first time because she"s my sister. But there"s the downside. They"ll start comparing us. Audiences are so unforgiving. They give you one chance, and then they let go."

Ayesha would like Natasha to be received like Kareena Kapoor who became a bigger star than her sister Karisma Kapoor. Other star sisters like Kajol"s Tanisha and Shilpa Shetty"s Shamita were cold-shouldered by the audience.

Ayesha"s sister makes her debut early next year. Audience will now get to see more of Natasha and less of Ayesha on screen. “I"ve done it for so long. I"m now enjoying making my own rules. I"m having a ball concentrating on business ventures. My first boutique hotel in Goa is on. We were hoping to start it this season."
