[edit] Career
She appeared in "I'm a Complan Boy! I'm a Complan Girl!" advertising campaign and also in a music video, Falguni Pathak's Meri Chunarii Udd Udd Jaye, when she was fifteen. She then appeared in the video, Shake It Daddy, when she was sixteen, which brought her to the attention of the movie industry, and a few film offers followed. She signed a contract for Socha Na Tha, then for Taarzan: The Wonder Car. However, delays in making Socha Na Tha meant that Taarzan released first and was therefore her "debut" film. She won the Filmfare Best Debut Award in 2004 for her performance in Taarzan: The Wonder Car. She earned critical acclaim for her performance in Nagesh Kukunoor's Dor with Taran Adarsh of Indiafm.com writing ," Ayesha is only emerging into a powerhouse performer with every film. Also, she has the courage to swim against the tide by accepting a non-glamorous role, which most actors don't do at the start of their career." [2]
