Sep 10, 2012 IANS

Ayesha Takia manages to stay away from the limelight, and yet gets some of the best roles - no wonder she feels lucky!

"My journey has been really good, I consider myself very lucky. I have the opportunities to portray myself as myself and also be taken seriously as an actress. I have been getting opportunity after opportunity to do things which I like," said Ayesha who was seen in "Dor" and "Wanted".

She prefers to be busy with home and hospitality business rather than facing the camera. However, she has taken up the role of an anchor for music reality show "Sur Kshetra", which pits singers from India and Pakistan against each other.

Ayesha says being able to live life on one's own terms is "rare".

"I think living life on my terms and be able to do it successfully is rare and the fact that I have got to do that and make some lovely friends along the way has been great," she added.
