A Quote by Ayesha Takia

The critics noticed me as a performer only with 'Dor.' — © Ayesha Takia
The critics noticed me as a performer only with 'Dor.'
Dor: there is a reason God lmits our days. Victor: why? Dor: to make each one precious.
Have you ever noticed how most critics disagree with the public? That should tell you a lot about critics.
Till I did 'Dor,' people only offered me roles of that bubbly, vivacious girl.
I didn't want to admit that I was a performer. A performer meant spotlights - a performer had connotations of theater. I would have preferred agent to performer.
I knew that the only way to get noticed would be by doing something that was not expected of me. I was sure I wouldn't get noticed if I continued to play the heroine in films like 'Chashme Baddoor.'
People think I'm against critics because they are negative to my work. That's not what bothers me. What bothers me is they didn't see the work. I have seen critics print stuff about stuff I cut out of the film before we ran it. So don't tell me about critics.
There is something so sad about going online and seeing almost everyone shouting ‘Notice me, notice me!’ Which is such a human desire—to be acknowledged. But me responding to that with some sort of ‘You’re noticed, you’re seen’ only perpetuates the loneliness. Because I’m not seeing you; I’m not noticing you. And whoever you are, you so deserve to be noticed and valued. I feel lucky to have not grown up with the Internet because it forced me to get out, struggle and be so messy.
In India, I have been called a 'destroyer.' But that is only because they mixed my identity as a performer and as a composer. As a composer I have tried everything, even electronic music and avant-garde. But as a performer I am, believe me, getting more classical and more orthodox, jealously protecting the heritage that I have learned.
If you write for the critics, only the critics will read you.
Critics said I am nasal, but my fans made me hit. So I will not stop singing if critics don't like me.
I find that the British audience listens and they accept the performer for its value, value as a singer, as a vocalist, value as a performer. You're only accepted if you're good.
We cheated, you and me, and someone noticed. I noticed you; someone else noticed me. It hurts us. That's not so bad. So many people cheat. Everywhere on every level. Everyone's cheated. I'm just saying that you don't need to see yourself as a cheater. Because that's not who you are. You're someone who cheated. There's a difference, and you should try to get that difference, or that's who you'll grow up to be.
Critics kind never mind! Critics flatter no matter! Critics blame all the same! Do your best damn the rest!
I have always noticed that when people consider others eccentric, it is because they are reveling in some form of enjoyment that their critics can neither compass nor share.
They say they have noticed me drawing. I almost tell them right then and there. They noticed.
I don't find it hard to direct myself. I can easily think of me as a horrible performer or a good performer. I work with actors who cannot stand watching or looking at themselves, which is not my case. I can have an eye and perspective on whether I'm terrible or good enough for me.
