An interview with Aayesha Takia |
 We have all seen Ayesha Takia in different roles in
various Bollywood flicks. We have even known about her
ambitions and plans as an actress. Here we present a
different Ayesha Takia who talks about music; her
likes and dislikes.
Q: What's playing on your iPod these days?
A: Since I am doing a lot of workouts these days, it's
mostly Trance and Techno music on my iPod now.
Q: Of the recent films released - TAARE ZAMEEN PAR,
KHOYA KHOYA CHAND, WELCOME and DUS KAHANIYA, which,
according to you, has the best music?
A: I would say that the music scored in all these
films are great. While the music in WELCOME is mind
blowing, I liked the music in KHOYA KHOYA CHAND too. I
have not watched TAARE ZAMEEN PAR and am ashamed about
it. I have heard that the film as well as the music in
this movie is tremendous.
Q: Which are your five all-time favorite songs?
A: Come on, this is too tough a job. Nevertheless, I
will try. I like all the songs in LAMHE and HUM DIL DE
CHUKE SANAM. You may choose any song from these films.
I also love the song in DIL - 'Khambe Jaise Khari Hai'.
I like the song so much that I have watched the movie
at least 50 times in my childhood. I honestly don't
know why. Again, I also like the title track 'Soncha
Na Tha' from my film SONCHA NA THA. Besides, these I
am also fond of the KRISHNA COTTAGE song 'Soona Soona
Lamha Lamha'.
Q: What type of music soothes your mind and which
ones irritate you?
A: For me music is fun, and it all depends on my mood.
My liking for music changes according to variations of
my moods. If I am in a trance mood, I like Trance
music and when in a rocking mood, I prefer Rock music.
And there are times when I also listen to Sufi music.
(Smiling) As far as irritating music is concerned, I
must tell you that the music my sister prefers is
really irritating. She keeps the door of her room open
and plays loud Rock music. This is really irritating
for the entire family and whoever hears it.
Q: Is there any music that makes you dance as you
hear it?
A: I personally like 'Hip-hop', 'Rock' and 'Trance'
music a lot. At the same time, I am very fond of the
song 'Loot liya' in my film SUNDAY. It is a hilarious
as well as jamboree kind of a song usually associated
with the immersion of the Ganapati.
Q: Which is your favorite romantic song?
A: Once again I need to mention the title song in
SONCHA NA THA as I like this song very very much. At
the same time, I also like the song 'Jeena Kya Tere
Bina' from my movie KYA LOVE STORY HAI.
Q: Do you prefer remixes or original songs?
A: It is a simple fact that remixes are made from
original songs that have more value to any music
aficionado. The idea behind making remixes is to make
a hit song a hit again. The two are different and they
offer a different kind of fun. I like both.
Q: According to you, is the music of the day better
than that of the yesteryears, as good or worse?
A: No doubt, the music of the yesteryears was far
better. These days anything passes off as music and
can you imagine the riot when all these are played
together!
