He told me that there’s another trial planned for the press after two days and asked me to come and see it. So, I went to that trial show uninvited and saw that scene myself. I was very angry and felt cheated.
The next day itself, I filed a case in the IMPPA (Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association).” In early 2000s, Ayesha stepped away from acting as she wasn’t getting the roles she desired for. Her last theatrical release was in the 2018 film .
