We have all seen Ayesha Takia in different roles in various Bollywood flicks. We have even known about her ambitions and plans as an actress. Here we present a different Ayesha Takia who talks about music; her likes and dislikes.

What's playing on your iPod these days?
Since I am doing a lot of workouts these days, it’s mostly Trance and Techno music on my iPod now.

Of the recent films released - TAARE ZAMEEN PAR, KHOYA KHOYA CHAND, WELCOME and DUS KAHANIYA, which, according to you, has the best music?
I would say that the music scored in all these films are great. While the music in WELCOME is mind blowing, I liked the music in KHOYA KHOYA CHAND too. I have not watched TAARE ZAMEEN PAR and am ashamed about it. I have heard that the film as well as the music in this movie is tremendous.

Which are your five all-time favorite songs?
Come on, this is too tough a job. Nevertheless, I will try. I like all the songs in LAMHE and HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM. You may choose any song from these films. I also love the song in DIL – ‘Khambe Jaise Khari Hai’. I like the song so much that I have watched the movie at least 50 times in my childhood. I honestly don’t know why. Again, I also like the title track ‘Soncha Na Tha’ from my film SONCHA NA THA. Besides, these I am also fond of the KRISHNA COTTAGE song ‘Soona Soona Lamha Lamha’.

What type of music soothes your mind and which ones irritate you?
For me music is fun, and it all depends on my mood. My liking for music changes according to variations of my moods. If I am in a trance mood, I like Trance music and when in a rocking mood, I prefer Rock music. And there are times when I also listen to Sufi music. (Smiling) As far as irritating music is concerned, I must tell you that the music my sister prefers is really irritating. She keeps the door of her room open and plays loud Rock music. This is really irritating for the entire family and whoever hears it.
