Facts/Trivia

• In an interview, Ayesha shared that in childhood, she was a tomboy. She said,
  

  I am still taken aback when people refer to me as a style icon because I never really cared about what I wore. I was a tom boy as a child and never really cared about how I looked. I am still more of a tomboy than a style icon. I keep my style very easy-going and laidback. My inner style plays well with the monochromes.”

• In 2015, Ayesha, along with other Pakistani actors like Azfar Rehman and VJ Anoushey Ashraf, were invited to attend an event in Hyderabad, Pakistan. Ayesha and Azfar were travelling in the same car, while Anoushey was in a different car. While they were heading towards Hyderabad, Ayesha’s car was hit by a truck which was overtaking them. In an interview, while talking about the accident, she said,
  

  I thought it would be a fun day trip. We’d chit chat on the drive. Interestingly, I had to shoot Bulbulay (her hugely popular sitcom) the next day. And we have never cancelled a shoot ever before. But, somehow, my team and I figured out a way for me to take time out. Everything fell into place a little too smoothly. We hit an overtaking truck on the highway just before Hyderabad and had two collisions due to being bumped into by another truck from the back. It’s a miracle that me and Azfar came out alive because the car was completely destroyed. I was immobile and picked up by Azfar and a group of passersby and put into a police mobile that transported us to a rundown govt clinic in Jamshoro.”

• Once, there were rumours that she went under the knife to get a toned body. During an interview, while talking about it, she said,
  

  I’ve been hearing lately is that I’ve gone under the knife and had surgery to lose weight! I’ve made a whole lifestyle change. I’ve cut out all the junk and processed food from my life and embraced the natural. The transformation has been miraculous. I’ve never exercised in my life, yet I’ve managed to lose more weight than people who do. I eat pure and desi and I take my own food with me when I’m shooting. It’s hard work and requires wholehearted commitment but you shouldn’t expect to look good without having to work for it.”

• In 2015, the rumours of her marriage with the Pakistani actor Ali Kazmi started. Later, in an interview, she denied such rumours, and said,
  

  That really is the strangest rumour I’ve heard about myself. If you check out my Wikipedia page, it mentions Ali Kazmi as my spouse, which is bizarre!”

• In an interview in 2022, she shared that 12 years back, she was trolled for her leaked pictures on Facebook after which she was mentally traumatised. She said,
  

  Twelve years ago, when I was very young, Facebook was just newly invented and everybody was joining it, so, I also joined it and started uploading my pictures, I uploaded my vacations pictures from Sumui, Thailand. There was nothing wrong in the pictures, there were just two girls who were enjoying their vacations and were chilling around, also, the pictures were leaked because maybe my privacy settings were not on and somebody had stolen them from my laptop as well, after that, people started emailing my pictures to each other because there was no WhatsApp at that time, it became a biggest issue at that time.”

• During one of her interviews, she shared her #MeToo moment. She said,
  

  A huge powerful man, twice my age. I had just entered the industry, I was this young 23-year-old, fresh out of college, and bam, this started happening. And it went on for years. It wasn’t a one-off incident, and I just didn’t want to process it. I put in a box, I said okay, this is happening in my life, I have to deal with it. I didn’t wanna share it with anybody. I let it stay there for 15 years, and I finally spoke about it to someone two years ago.”
