Role of Om Puri’s daughter, work as child artist

In response to this question, Ayesha Kapoor said, ‘I was 8 or 9 years old. I acted in a few commercials. In the year 2009, I did the film ‘Babar’. In this I played the role of Om Puri sir’s daughter. After this I did a cameo in a South film. I wanted to become an actress since then. But when she grew up, the family was not giving consent to act. It took me some time to convince them. When I became a bit mature and responsible, he agreed.
Worked in the gym, went home and trained people
Ayesha Kapoor is a resident of Mumbai and she has studied till 12th standard. After this Ayesha did a course in fitness science and then started working in the gym.

One day one of my clients canceled the appointment. Then I reached out to my old contacts and I auditioned for a film. That film will be released on OTT this month. I had no idea that I would be elected. After the shoot of the film, I went back to my work.
When fed up left the gym job
Ayesha Kapoor further said, ‘I became a manager in a gym, looked after clients and membership etc. Everything was very stressful. In this struggle, I forgot that I have to give auditions as well.

After that I joined hands with a company and did some projects. I kept doing songs and web shows.
Bold show done under compulsion due to non-availability of work
