After a hiatus of almost two-years, actor Ayesha Takia Azmi will light up the big screen again with filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor’s Mod.

Rejuvenated and raring to prove her mettle once again, the actor is quite kicked up about her comeback film. She feels a great comfort level with Kukunoor, who had directed her in Dor (2006). “Nagesh is my favourite director. I understand his style of working and sensibilities now. He is a realistic filmmaker,” she says. The actor, who recently visited the Capital, gets chatty with us about her personal and professional life. On Mod

On her journey so far
