The 10 year old who took on Amitabh! 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, February 3, 2005 - 06:48 IST
She is tiny bundle of talent who has quietly arrived on the scene. And she's set to storm the dream factory
Rani pegs her as the 'most sought-after actor' in the coming future.
"The kid simply blew me away!” remarks Sanjay Bhansali
And Amitabh, well the shehenshah has gone on record saying that
"Ayesha has my full support and recommendation when she turns an actor"
Ayesha Kapur plays a young Rani in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black. We asked the frizzy haired debutant how she landed the role? We notice an air of assurance about this grade IV girl as she talks. “A German photographer Andreas clicked some photos of mine and my brother when he did a calendar for my grandmother. A lady Nikki thought the pictures to be very attractive and circulated in at some Ad agencies. Sanjay Bhansali happened to see them…”
“He liked it and I got a call to do Black” the Pondicherry resident says with a reluctant smile. Wow, that is fantastic!' we compliment her. Borrowed in a thought she re-links, “But for some time they didn't want me…” And why is that, we ask. “They thought my nose was strange and didn't bear resemblance to Rani's” she says with concern. “But Sanjay still wanted me and I was on” she says, her soft eyes lighting up.
