Ayesha Kapoor Says She Is A Natural Actress  Ayesha Kapoor |
Young Bollywood actress, Ayesha Kapoor, known for her role in Black, claims that she was not able to relate to her character of a conservative Kashmiri girl in her latest film Sikandar.
"It was hard for me to relate to my character in the film since I`m a completely different in real life. Nasreen, my character, is conservative. That`s the opposite of me," Ayesha told.
"From a very young age, I have lived in an international community. My friends are from all over the world. I get to meet people from different cultures. That`s made me quite modern. Also, I am half German, so my thinking is very different," actress added.
The other problem faced by the actress was that she does not have a fluent Hindi and had to work hard on her dialogues to make her character look real in the movie.
Ayesha Kapoor told, "We did quite a few preparations for me to get the hang of my character. I attended a workshop in Delhi. That time for me it was mainly working on the lines and also understanding how a Kashmiri school girl would walk and talk and how she wears her dupatta...all those nitty-gritties”.
"Also to understand things better, I went to Kashmir a week earlier than the shooting schedule. I visited the schools there and interacted with school girls to understand things”, she added.
The young actress claims that acting is her passion and hopes to get good roles in the future.
"Acting is a passion for me. I love to be in front of the camera. I really hope in the future I can continue acting and get good opportunities," Ayesha said.
Ayesha Kapoor has never attended any acting classes as it comes naturally to her. "Acting has come naturally to me. I never did any acting classes. I never even tried to get into movies. Everything just happened. I feel...something when it`s meant to be, it will just happen, that`s how I believe films and me happened”, she said.
"It`s so strange that I literally lived in the middle of the jungle, in the south of India. Nobody had heard of me before in any way. Then Sanjay Leela Bhansali just came across a picture of mine and somehow he liked me and then called me up. I went to Mumbai and had a small audition. I was on (for `Black) and it changed so much for me. It was destiny," Ayesha added.
