Ayesha Kapur lives in Auroville, Puducherry. Her mother, Jacqueline, is German and her father is a renowned Indian businessman Dilip Kapur, owner of the Hidesign chain of leather goods stores. She has one brother, Milan, and two half-brothers from her father’s first marriage, Akash and Vikas. Dilip and Jacqueline parted ways last year after she found out that he was dating a much younger woman. Dilip however refused any such allegations.
After Black, Ayesha starred in Sikandar (2009) as a child actor, and was later to do Shekhar Kapur’s ‘Paani’ with Sushant Singh Rajput, but the project never took off. “After boarding school, I wanted to re-discover my passion for acting and therefore spent some time training and auditioning in Mumbai. I signed a three-film contract with Yash Raj Films but after it looked like Paani was put on hold, I decided to re-apply to college for further studies”.
Ayesha loves shopping for accessories very much, that she decided to make it her business and launched her own accessory label “Ayesha Accessories”.
