Was
Ayesha
Takia
spotted
in
a
burqa
after
marriage?
Have
her
in-laws
clamped
down
on
her
freedom
to
act
in
films?
These
are
the
rumours
that
one
hears
in
the
film
industry.
Ayesha
Takia
is
more
amused
than
exasperated
by
attempts
to
put
her
into
the
retired-actress" bracket
after
marriage.
The
word
being
spread
is
that
Ayesha
has
married
into
an
ultra-conservative
family
where
acting
is
perhaps
not
permitted.
“I"m
amazed
at
the
games
people
play.
The
other
day
someone
asked
me
if
I"ve
started
wearing
a
burqa
after
marriage," laughs
Ayesha.
“Far
from
feeling
clamped
I
now
have
the
freedom
to
do
more
things
than
before.
My
parents-in-law
are
cool
about
my
business
ventures
with
my
husband
and
my
film
career."
“And
that"s
so
ridiculous,"
says
Ayesha
with
a
laugh.
“Farhan
and
I
went
around
together
for
five
years
before
marriage.
So
there
goes
the
conservative
card.
Suddenly
after
we
make
it
official
I
hear
all
kind
of
rumours
including
the
fact
that
I"m
out
of
Revathy
Varmha"s
film
and
that
I"ve
been
replaced
by
some
other
actress."
Says
Ayesha,
“I"ve
never
felt
the
need
to
grab
roles.
I"ve
got
what
I
wanted.
And
it
will
continue
that
way.
I
always
felt
Wanted
would
be
the
first
big
hit
of
my
career.
Ironical
that
it
should
come
now
after
my
marriage.
And
I"ve
got
more
to
do
in
it
than
the
leading
lady
in
a
Salman
vehicle
would
be
expected
to.
In
fact
I
was
blown
away
by
the
way
I
was
presented.
And
why
should
I
give
up
a
dream
role
like
the
one
in
Revathy"s
film?
She"s
new
to
the
Mumbai
industry
and
quite
nervous
about
these
controversies."
Revathy
Varhma
and
Ayesha"s
mother
are
very
close
friends.
“Revathy
comes
home
regularly.
We
all
laugh
at
the
way
the
casting
is
being
questioned
by
people
who
probably
have
nothing
better
to
do."
Ayesha
now
intends
to
focus
on
new
business
venture.
“I
started
working
in
films
when
I
was
only
15.
And
I
just
realized
I"ve
been
at
it
since
then.
I
need
to
venture
out.
It"s
time
to
try
out
new
things
in
life.
Today
a
young
woman
has
so
many
opportunities
to
do
so
many
things.
I"m
fortunate
to
have
a
name
and
a
face
that"s
recognizable.
I
want
to
use
that
to
my
advantage
and
start
a
clothes
line
by
the
middle
of
next
year."
Ayesha,
her
mom
and
sister
Natasha
are
going
to
be
partners
in
the
garment
business.
Laughs
Ayesha,
“All
three
of
us
are
very
excited
about
doing
the
clothes
line.
We
love
fashion
it"s
basically
for
the
girls
in
the
family."
Ayesha"s
husband
Farhan
will
be
there
to
help
his
wife
and
her
family
with
the
clothes
line.
“Yes,
Farhan"s
there
to
help
us
women
in
every
way
possible."
Marriage
hasn"t
changed
Ayesha.
“I"m
the
same.
I
always
will
be.
Post-marriage
I"m
exactly
the
same.
That
could
be
because
I
was
seeing
Farhan
from
long
before.
Psychologically
we
were
married
long
before.
It
feels
like
we
were
serious
about
each
other
forever."
