Mumbai: Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia is preparing to take up the role of a fashion designer now as she has left Bollywood following her marriage to restaurateur Farhan Azmi. Ayesha is now getting ready to launch her own designer label.

It is reported that Ayesha has been working on a fashion line for a while now. According to a source, “Ayesha was interested in designing even before she entered films but it took a backseat once she started doing films. The designing bug never left her. She would take a keen interest in the outfits she’d wear in her films and give her own inputs to the designers. The actress will design her own clothes rather than enter into a partnership with any fashion house.”

The source added, “It’s entirely her baby and Farhan is not helping to launch it except in giving her moral support and encouragement. Her designer line won’t be called Ayesha but something more exotic. It will be an exclusive designer range that will feature high-end and even affordable stuff. The line will be simple and classic, stylish with elegant lines.”
