Actor Ayesh Takia is not in a mood to take body shaming lightly. Two days after the actor was papped–marking her first public appearance in years–Ayesha Takia has shot back at trolls, who spammed her Instagram comments with insensitive comments.
The actor was spotted at the Mumbai airport by the paparazzi, who clicked her and put the pictures and videos out. Ayesha, whose last film appearance was in 2011, was suddenly back in public memory as people reacted to her visuals.
Not all comments were positive, though, as a section also started questioning her over her apparent “new” look and claiming that she had gone under the knife and some changes to her face. The insensitive remarks also trickled into her private Instagram profile, leading her to turn off the comment section.
On Sunday, Ayesha Takia posted a note and slammed those who were trying to shame her. The actor says she was papped when she was rushing to Goa due to a medical emergency in her family–her sister is in the hospital– and was stopped by the paps, obliging them as she posed for “a few seconds” before flying off.
“Turns out there are no other important issues in the country except dissecting my looks…Been bombarded by viral ridiculous opinions of how ppl think I should have looked and don’t. Literally get over me yaar, I have zero interest in doing any films or any comeback like people are saying. I’m living my life happily, never want to be in the limelight, not interested in any fame, don’t wanna be in any film…So chill.
“Please feel free to not care about me at all. Expecting a girl whose mostly been seen in her teens to look identical even after 15 years…How unrealistic and ridiculous are these people…Lol,” a section of her note read.

The actor said it is important that trolls find better things to do with their time rather than “pick apart good looking women.” Ayesha added, “I’m blessed with a fabulous life and do not need your opinions, save it for those interested. I’m sending back all your shi**y energy. Do better people, get a hobby, eat a fun meal, talk to your friend, smile, whatever it takes to not feel so unhappy that you need to tell a gorgeous happy woman how she’s not looking like you wanted,” she wrote.

In her Instagram caption, Ayesha thanked her followers, and well wishers for their unwavering support and love. “You guys have been so awesome, loving, and amazing to me all the time… so thanku …sending you love,” she wrote.
Ayesha Takia made her debut in 2004 with Taarzan: The Wonder Car and went on to work in films like Socha Na Tha, Salaam-E-Ishq and Salman Khan-starrer Wanted.
