A Delhi based model and the heiress of Thapar Industries.
I first read about Ayesha in Elle India…cannot recall the exact story, but Ayesha is the current ‘It’ girl of India. Similarity to Bianca Jagger is uncanny…and I love that she’s launching several businesses and showing her entrepreneur spirit. She was married to a Turkish businessman (divorced now) and spends her time in various continents.

This statue sits on my coffee table. It’s a human having sex with a Hindu deity. I purchased the erotic piece in Nepal. Shopping in Nepal is an experience!

Scandalous? Sexy? Unsuitable? Not at all. It’s ART. The store merchant reiterated that the statue would bring me luck in the LOVE department with a mysterious man.

Four years later, I’m still waiting for the mysterious man to appear…oh, mysterious man…where art thou?
