Recently, Ayesha Azhar appeared on Hina Niazi’s show Suno Tou Sahi which airs on Suno TV. During the interview, Ayesha Azhar opened up about rejecting Bollywood offers.
Talking about the Bollywood offers, Ayesha Azhar said, “I talked to a few Bollywood actors after my video went viral. Some of them approached me, and many wanted me to come to India to work in a video song, but I refused. People here warned me about working in India, saying that if I would go there, I wouldn’t get work in Pakistan. I was afraid at the time—I thought I would be caught in India. I didn’t know much about how the industry works in India, as only a few Pakistanis had worked there at that time, and I wasn’t aware of the India-Pakistan dynamics. My father was with me and was even ready to go with me, but I still refused all the offers. Nowadays, I don’t have any offers; I am currently doing TikTok live streams and earning 2.5 lakh weekly.” Here is the link to the video:
