Ayesha Takia s Wedding Postponed  
Dec 3, 2008 

 

Ayesha Takia was supposed to wed restaurateur Farhan Azmi on Christmas Eve but her wedding has now been postponed to mid-2009. All this thanks to the terror attacks in Mumbai. The groom, Farhan confirmed the news saying,”Ayesha is currently in Greece shooting a song for Boney Kapoor’s Wanted. The groom-to-be confirms, “When Ayesha heard the news of the attacks, she broke down. Dad (SP party leader Abu Azmi), was in a hospital recuperating from an operation; he too started crying when he heard about the terrorist attacks. None of us are in the mood for any celebrations this year. Our mood is too grim and somber. There can be no wedding celebrations as of now maybe mid-2009 and that too it will be a small and private affair.” Farhan adds, “We are all shaken up by what happened. I saw it happening next door, as Nariman House is seven buildings away from our home and very close to the Taj and Oberoi hotels. When the Oberoi was sealed, many guests came from there to Koyla and Café Basilico (both owned by Farhan). None wanted to stay, so I took them home. On the first night from Koyla, which is 500m away from the Taj, we could see the fire burning on the sixth floor and hear women and children screaming to be let out ‘please help us’… It still gives me goose bumps to even think about it.” Ayesha had informed all her producers and directors that she will quit acting after she gets married and she intended to wrap all her committments before December. 

 

Ayesha Takia s Wedding On March 1st  
Feb 18, 2009

Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia (heroine of Puri Jagannath's Super in Telugu) will tie the knot with her long-time boyfriend Farhan Azmi, a restaurateur and son of Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi, on March 1st in Mumbai as per Muslim tradition. From Tollywood, action hero Nagarjuna and director Puri Jagannath are expected to attend the reception to be held on March 2nd. In fact, the wedding was supposed to take place in December, but was postponed due to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Ayesha Takia is currently busy with six Hindi films: Prabhu Deva's Wanted: Dead And Alive opposite Salman Khan, Nagesh Kukunoor's Eight by Ten opposite Akshay Kumar, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai!, Naughty at Forty, Milind Ukey's Paathshala opposite Shahid Kapoor and Nikhil Advani's Ab Dilli Door Nahin. Wanted Dead And Alive is the Hindi remake of Tamil hit Pokkiri, starring Vijay and Asin in the lead. The Two Lovers have been going steady for many years and have decided to solemnize their relationship through marriage. We hope that even after marriage, the actress continues doing good work and gives us subtle and fine performances like the one in Dor, a small budget film in which she plays the role of a young widowed Rajasthani woman living in a traditional joint family. She went on to win several awards for her performance in Dor, including the Zee Cine Critics' Award for Best    

Ayesha Takia Biding Goodbye To Films  
Feb 13, 2009

With Ayesha Takia all set to tie the knot with long time beau Farhan Azmi, there is a strong buzz in the industry circles that she will not sign any new films thereafter and bow out of the film industry. An industry source revealed, "Ayesha has Three major films on hand presently, the Salman Khan starrer Wanted Dead And Alive which is almost complete and Revathy Kumar's Phir Tum Mile starring R. Madhavan and Jaya Bachchan. Her Akshay Kumar starrer Eight By Ten is Ready for release this April. That apart she is playing a cameo role in Ahmed Khan's Paathshala and giving her voice for animated feature Ab Dilli Door Nahin. Despite her marriage drawing closer she just recently signed the Madhavan starrer, the reason being she wanted to bid goodbye with a strong woman-oriented subject where she had a substantial role to play. Also what got her more excited about the project was that the film is to be shot in a one stop schedule in April. Now though more offers are continuing to pour in for her, she is in no mood to sign any more projects. In her many interviews Ayesha had earlier expressed her wish to stop acting after marriage. So, since now she has completely stopped signing any more projects, its being understood that she is finally biding goodbye to the industry." Her boyfriend Farhan is the son of controversial leader of Samajwadi Party, Abu Asim Azmi. He runs his own hotel business and his two restaurants Cafe Basilico and Koyla are quiet famous eateries in Mumbai. Though Ayesha didn't enjoy many successes in films, her roles in Socha Na Tha, Dor and Yun Hota To Kya Hota were widely appreciated.  

Hot Ayesha Takia Looking Gorgeous On Filmfare Latest Issue  
Dec 3, 2008

Talking about Ayesha Takia, the first thing which comes to your mind is SOMETHING but am not here to talk about that. Moreover, her eyebrows shield the whole world, wine filled eyes, a perfect nose and dont even talk about how beautiful her face is. She is tall and has broad shoulders. She is a perfect early woman, an early encestor, may be she is a Goddess. 

Ayesha Takia Wants Action  
Jun 7, 2008

It seems like Ayesha Takia has been motivated by her contemporary actresses and wants to take up action. She wants to do what Priyanka Chopra has done in Shah Rukh Khan's DON and is once again doing it in the upcoming Abhishek Bachchan starrer, DRONA. Even Deepika Padukone's martial arts prowess in Akshay Kumar's CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA seems to have inspired her. The normally sober Koena Mitra too is doing her own stunts in the proposed Hollywood flick KARMA. As per Ayesha she has already worked in most genres and now wants to prove herself as an action star. She adds that action movies are all set to make a comeback. Well dear Ayesha, here is a suggestion, why not try some stunts/action in your Salman Khan starrer WANTED DEAD AND ALIVE!  

Ayesha Takia Is Fond Of Kids   May 8, 2009 Recently on the sets of ‘Paathshala’, Ayesha Takia was seen with a bunch of kids. The other group was busy in shooting for the Ahmed Khan film. The set was looking like a huge boarding school. Ayesha confirmed, “It is good to be around children. They can shoot for twenty hours together and not run out of energy.They compliment me on my hair. One of them asked me if my cheeks are real.” She also says, “Despite all the masti, there are rules to be followed on the sets. Ahmed Sir after all has a film to complete and makes sure the fun is organised and controlled. There is no smoking on the sets, no shouting.” Ayesha’s role had to be shortened to accommodate the roles of the kids. But she has no problem with it. She likes the script and the fact that Ahmed and his wife, Shaira are like family friends to her.

 My Acting Talent Was Recognised After Dor Ayesha Takia  
May 8, 2009

Young and chirpy actress Ayesha Takia considers Nagesh Kukunoor’s “Dor”, a poignant tale of two women, as the path-breaking film of her career. She says after the movie, people started taking her seriously as an actor. “After ‘Dor’, viewers showed the confidence that I could play serious roles too and so I was offered roles in films like ‘Eight By Ten’ and ‘Wanted’ and many other big movies,” Ayesha told IANS. Ayesha is on the verge of completing another Kukunoor film titled “Eight By Ten”. “Ten days of shooting is left. It also stars Akshay Kumar,” said Ayesha who plays Akshay’s wife in the supernatural thriller. Her next release is “De Taali”, which will be showcased at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards, starting June 6 in Bangkok. Talking about the film, the dimpled actress said: “The character is totally in contrast to what I am in actual life. I play Ammu who is a complete tomboy. She is a complete brat and grows up with Aftab Shivdasani and Reitesh Deshmukh. She does what normally guys do.” Apart from “De Taali”, she has Boney Kapoor’s “Wanted Dead And Alive”, which marks southern dancing superstar Prabhu Deva’s entry into Hindi films as director. The film is a remake of Tamil film “Pokkiri”, which was also directed by Prabhu Deva. In the action movie, Ayesha is paired with Salman Khan. Mahesh Manjrekar and Om Puri too feature in key roles. The actress is also doing Ahmed Khan’s film on four children titled “Pathshala” where she and Shahid Kapur play teachers. Though “Tarzan - The Wonder Car”, for which she won the best debutant actress award in 2004, was released before “Socha Na Tha,” Ayesha considers Imtiaz Ali’s romantic comedy as her debut film. She said: “‘Socha Na Tha’ will always be my first film and close to my heart. ‘Tarzan’ was an entertaining film but ‘Socha Naa Tha’ had a lot of space for acting.’ Was she approached for Imtiaz’s second film “Jab We Met”? “Initially, Bobby and I were supposed to do the film, but the dates did not work out between us. But, I look forward to working with Imtiaz.” The actress faced the camera for the first time when she was four years old for an ad and later she did quite a few commercials and music videos. How difficult was it to gain entry into films? “It was not at all difficult. I did not go looking for work. Imtiaz went through my audition tapes and called me to his office.” Ayesha feels that making an entry is not at all difficult if one has the talent and is ready to work hard. So far Ayesha has worked mainly with new directors - does she have a preference for them? “I don’t have any preferences and I cannot afford it. It is just that the offers came from them. And it is always an exciting experience as new directors are always enthusiastic and hard working and give everything for the project as they know that their life depends on the project.” Did she plan to be an actress as a child? “I was raised in a normal Gujarati style with all the restrictions and reservations. As far as plans are concerned, I did not have plans to become an actress in my childhood.” About a favourite co-star, Ayesha said: “I am not being diplomatic, I enjoyed working with all of them. Also, I am a very professional type of person. I finish my work and go home. I have no favourites, I enjoyed working with all of them.” Apparently Ayesha makes producers sign a contract on her reservations about intimate and steamy scenes. She said: “Yes, I do sign a contract with every producer and mother has nothing to do with it. I have lived life according to my own principles and ideologies and I adhere to it.” The 23-year-old has done various roles ranging from comedy to serious characters, but prefers romantic movies. “I would like to do romantic films most and my second preference would be serious roles. Though I am not comfortable with stunts, I would definitely like to do an action film like ‘Tomb Raider’.” She is dating Farhan Azmi and has started a boutique hotel business with him, but has no immediate plans to marry him.

Ayesha Losing Roles By Refusing To Strip Kiss  
May 8, 2009

Ayesha Takia is shooting down roles that require her to wear skimpy clothes or get intimate with her co-star because she doesn’t want to embarrass her family and boyfriend. Ayesha is aware that her more uninhibited colleagues are benefiting while she refuses to get bold on camera. “But I don’t mind losing out on roles. At least 10 years from now I don’t want to look back and cringe at anything. I’ve a family and a boyfriend. And I don’t want to embarrass anyone,” Ayesha, who was recently seen in “Sunday” in a clean role, told IANS. “There’re things that I wouldn’t do, like kiss and wear certain kinds of clothes. And yes that does put me at a disadvantage. But I’m very happy with the work that I’m getting. After ‘Dor’, I’m being taken seriously as an actress.” She said no to Nagesh Kukunoor, who made “Dor”. “I just couldn’t do the kissing scene in ‘Aashayein’. We tried to find a way out, but it didn’t work out for me. Fortunately, for me, Nagesh is a dear friend. He didn’t hold my ‘no’ against me. We completed ‘Tasveer’ with Akshay Kumar in Canada. And there was nothing there to make me uncomfortable.” The actress has an exciting year ahead with films with big-league heroes. “I’m working with Akshay Kumar in Nagesh Kukunoor’s supernatural-psychological thriller ‘Tasveer’. Then I’ve Prabhu Deva’s ‘Wanted’, an action film with Salman Khan. Here I don’t have much to do. I hang around doing whatever leading ladies do - sing, dance and purse my lips when the hero fights.” Candid in her self-assessment, she sees a boyfriend as no impediment to her career. “In fact, I’m so glad Farhan is no part of the industry. And that he’s a self-made man who loves me for who I am. I don’t think having a boyfriend is any problem for a career. “The only annoying part of having a boyfriend is that every time I’ve a release I’m informed by the press that I’m getting married in two months. It irritates me. When I get married I’ll announce it from the rooftops. I’m proud of my boyfriend.” Last year she had a rough patch when “Salaam-e-Ishq” and “No Smoking” bombed. “Everyone kept asking why I reappeared in ‘No Smoking’ in a double role. I’d like all questions about that film to be directed to Anurag Kashyap. I’ve no clue. It was a small role, just 10 days’ work. I’d do another film for Anurag anytime. He’s a friend.” 

Ayesha Got Two Roles In One Film  
May 8, 2009

Signed for one role, Ayesha Takia finally got two roles in Anurag Kashyap’s film “No Smoking”. The actress said: “Anurag Kashyap has been a good friend for five years. We always wanted to work together. Initially, ‘No Smoking’ didn’t have much for me to do. It was a small role of John’s wife. But finally Anurag Kashyap gave me two roles in ‘No Smoking’ - of John’s wife and his secretary. “Another actress was to play the secretary. He turned two characters into a double role for me. Not just that, he added scenes as the film progressed. I guess someone somewhere likes me.”
 

Ayesha Ties The Knot With Farhan  
Mar 2, 2009

Ayesha Takia nd Farhan Azmi had a quiet nikaah with close friends and family at Farhan's restaurant in Colaba last night. Says an eyewitness, "It was a simple, private ceremony with only close friends and family being present; around 200 people were present. Ayesha and Farhan's outfits were traditional ones and not made by any designers. While Farhan wore a white sherwani, Ayesha wore a gold sharara." Tonight, Ayesha's mother, Faridah and Farhan's parents, Zaheda and Abu Azmi, will host a dinner and reception for the newly-wedded couple at the CCI Stadium in Churchgate where over 5000 guests are expected.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman excited about son s movie debut  

Washington (ANI): Aussie actress Nicole Kidman has revealed that she is very excited about her adopted son Connor's big screen debut. The 13-year-old has landed a minor, non-speaking role as a young Will Smith in the drama Seven Pounds, reports Usmagazine.com. And the 40-year-old pregnant actress is "really excited for Connor," her rep said.

The part Connor was playing was shot over two days more than a month ago, and the movie about a man who affects the lives of seven strangers, co-stars Rosario Dawson. Connor is the adopted son of Kidman and her ex hubby Tom Cruise. Kidman is expecting her first biological child with husband Keith Urban this summer.

 

Biography

It is not always true that good things come only in small packages. You can locate one in a taller packing too. A living example of this is Nicole Kidman, who standing at 5’11’’ feet have towered over the legends sitting atop the Hollywood high pedestal. This Australian house of fire has formed her own niche over the years in the American dominated film domain.

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii (on the 20th of June, 1967), Nicole boasts of dual US and Australian citizenship. Her father, Anthony, a biochemist and clinical psychologist, along with his wife Janelle and Nicole’s young sister Antonia to work on a research project on breast cancer moved to Washington DC for three years.

She started taking u ballet lessons at 10 and fell in love with it but later included mime and drama as well in creative portfolio. Her first stage role was a bleating sheep in an elementary school Christmas pageant. in her growing up years, while her peers were busy frolicking out in the sun, Nicole was often to be seen immersed deeply in her craft and was a regular at Philip Street Theater, it was while working there only, at the mere age of 14, she received an invitation to star in a film student’s exam project. The student’s name was Jane Campion, who later directed Kidman in The Portrait Of A Lady (1996)

Nicole soon realized that the regular education was neither going to help her out in her dream career in movies nor it would give her the satisfaction. She soon dropped out of high school and joined the Australian Theatre for Young People in Sydney and the St Martin's Youth Theatre in Melbourne .By the time she was 16, she has decided to tread upon the waters of movie making.

Career in Movies

Her film debut was with an Australian holiday favorite Bush Christmas (1983). This was followed by a series of film and TV offers, including a lead in BMX Bandits (1983) and “Vietnam" (1987) where she played a schoolgirl-turned-protester in the miniseries for which she won her first Australian Film Institute Award.

 Two years later, she eventually made her US debut opposite Sam Neill in the at-sea thriller Dead Calm (1989). And then came an offer which turned her life both professionally and personally tremendously. While playing Tom Cruise’s love interest in the racetrack romance Days of Thunder (1990), Nicole found the herself essaying the role in real life as well. After a whirlwind courtship and wedding (December 24, 1990), the couple worked in two more movies, Far and Away (1992) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999) after that to cash on their much talked about married life.

She and Cruise adopted two children: Isabella Jane (born in 1993) and Connor Antony (born 1995).  The couple ended their marriage in 2001, despite boasting of a happy family image in the public eye.

Not to be marred by the debacle of  failed marriage on her movie career, Nicole came out triumphant with Moulin Rouge which earned her the Oscar nomination but something was still missing that could help her outshine over the academy. Incidentally, the same thing happened in her career earlier when freshly after her marriage Kidman until she achieved real breakthrough with Gus Van Sant's To Die For (1995) as a fame-crazed housewife and Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady (1996).the former one her many critics awards and the acclaimed Golden Globe award.

She bounced back with The Hours (2002) and managed to stand her own against the likes of Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore. Portraying the roles of the famed writer Virginia Woolf herself, Nicole even surgically disfigured her nose for the role. The movie won critics appreciation and Nicole an Oscar and Golden Globe. In addition, she was also the part of prestigious Cold Mountain ( 2003),a path breaking movie

The Australian actress who redefined the rules of acting with her [power packed performances, is continuing to deliver one good dish after another loaded with aplomb and finesse.

 NICOLE KIDMAN KIDMAN FACES RIVAL SPRINGFIELD PROJECT  


LATEST: NICOLE KIDMAN and former THE WEST WING star KIRSTEN CHENOWETH will go head-to-head in two rival biopics of the same star - 1960s singer DUSTY SPRINGFIELD.
Last week (01May08), scriptwriter Michael Cunningham revealed Kidman will play Springfield in his movie, about the late soul star's rise to fame in the 1960s and her battles with alcohol, drugs and mental health problems, before her death from breast cancer in 1999.
The movie, which reunites Cunningham with his The Hours star Kidman, will be made by movie studio Fox.
Meanwhile, rivals Universal are planning their own Springfield project, starring Chenoweth, which will be written and directed by Jessica Sharzer.

Breaking News Nicole Kidman can actually perspire  

What got Nicole Kidman all hot sweaty and panting this weekend

The Oscar-winning actress, pregnant with her first child, did Tevia Celli's spin class two days in a row -- Saturday and Sunday -- at Body and Soul gym on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood.

It's hard to imagine the pale-skinned, flawlessly pulled together fashion icon rocking out on a spin bike to hip-hop, U2 and Alanis Morrissette. But there she was...

On both days, Kidman sat on a bike in the back row  wearing black pants and a white T, her long blond hair pulled back in a bun. While  she's not a serious spinner, observers say that she worked out hard, kept a good pace, drank a lot of bottled water and used a towel to wipe the sweat off her face several times during both hourlong spins. She was accompanied to both classes by a short, red-haired woman, who spun on the bike next to her.

"Nicole tends to keep her head down when she spins which isn't advised because it's bad posture that cuts off your airway and lessens your oxygen intake," said one spinner. "But if she keeps coming to Tevia's class, she'll learn good posture on the bike, which keeps your core engaged and your diaphragm open."

Kidman is among several fit celebs who regularly spin at Body and Soul, including Jodie Foster and "Dancing with the Stars" alum Lisa Rinna. But Nic's not been seen at class since last year, before she announced that she was pregnant. Body and Soul has several pregnant women who have continued to take class throughout a their pregnancies, some until a few days before they give birth.

"Spinning is a great exercise for pregnant women because they can get their heart rates up and get a good aerobic workout without stressing out the fetus with high impact activity," says Celli of her expectant spinners.

Will Kidman be on the bike on Memorial Day for Body and Soul's 90-minute charity spin to raise money for Beyond Shelter, an organization that helps get homeless families off the streets?

Nicole Kidman blows up at Keith Urban in public 

"The food seemed to be fine for him because his wife didn't even bother to look at the menu," said an eyewitness.

"She's more accustomed to haute cuisine but Keith's tastes are simpler."

But when Nicole got a load of the southern-style chow, she hissed, "'This is it? This is where we're getting lunch - I hate this place! Everyone is staring at us...'."According to witnesses, an uneasy Keith whispered to Nicole to calm down.Nicole stormed out of the restaurant with Keith following.They then battled in the parking lot.
A Cracker Barrel worker says none of the above happened.

Nicole Kidman

It is not always true that good things come only in small packages. You can locate one in a taller packing too. A living example of this is Nicole Kidman, who standing at 5’11’’ feet have towered over the legends sitting atop the Hollywood high pedestal. This Australian house of fire has formed her own niche over the years in the American dominated film domain.

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii (on the 20th of June, 1967), Nicole boasts of dual US and Australian citizenship. Her father, Anthony, a biochemist and clinical psychologist, along with his wife Janelle and Nicole’s young sister Antonia to work on a research project on breast cancer moved to Washington DC for three years.
