Ayesha Takia, who has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry including Salman Khan and Imtiaz Ali, says she missed working while on sabbatical.
Takia, who married businessman Farhan Azmi in 2009, took a break from acting after she gave birth to a baby boy in 2013.
She was paired with Khan in the hit Wanted and featured in films such as Salaam-E-Ishq, Ali’s directorial debut, Socha Na Tha. Her last movie was Nagesh Kukunoor’s 2011 drama, Mod.
“No matter how long a break you take, an actor does feel comfortable in front of the camera. I have been acting since I was four years old, so I am at ease with it [camera]. I do miss the moment between action and cut sometimes,” she said.
The 31-year-old actress will be seen on the big screen with her upcoming movie, Borivali Ka Bruce Lee, which will mark her comeback to the silver screen.
“I am currently shooting for Borivali Ka Bruce Lee. It is really a cute, action comedy with kung fu elements in it and I am in love with my role. I think for a comeback, the audience will love it too. We are hoping it releases this year, 70 per cent of it [the film] has already been shot. We are aiming to finish the rest soon,” says Takia.
But as Takia returns to work, she is adamant to try new things.
“Last year there were a few things which I had to turn down because of lack of time. But the content has to be good enough to make me feel it is going to have some impact.
“When you’ve done good work, you can’t come back with something stupid. There is no point in that and hence, one has to be careful,” she adds.
