With such snaps, it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that Ayesha is Bollywood-ready in terms of her glamour. As far as the acting chops are concerned, being chosen by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known to be taskmaster, and excelling under him shows her potential. 

As per reports, Ayesha is now 24 and lives in Puducherry. It wouldn’t come as a surprise if some Bollywood filmmaker approaches her for a film now.

‘Black’: 

Ayesha had played the role of the younger version of Rani Mukerji’s character Michelle McNally in the movie. She had brilliantly expressed the emotions that an eight-year-old hearing and vision-impaired child went through, notably her venting of her frustration. 

While Rani won the Filmfare Best Actress Award, Ayesha had won the award for the Best Supporting Actress. 

After ‘Black’, she had also featured in another film, ‘Sikandar,’ produced by Sudhir Mishra and directed by Piyush Jha in 2009.
