Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sensharma starrer Wake Up Sid brings with it a fresh breath of air. Directed by Ayan Mukherjee, the character of Ayesha Banerjee has remained with fans over the years, with depth and for all the right reasons. Cherishing this beloved character, we have compiled a list of qualities from his personality. Find out if you can relate:
1. You can go to any extent to fulfill your passion
In “The New Girl in the City”, Konkona Sensharma’s Ayesha Banerjee moves from Kolkata to Mumbai to pursue her dreams. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to step out of your comfort zone to have that liberating experience, which can be intimidating for some people. In search of a job, she was even willing to clean her boss’s desk. Can you imagine his patience?
2. You are stubborn and direct
Ayesha was a determined woman, who was all set to live life in a fast-paced city. She was modern, feminist and clear about her views. Remember Ranbir Kapoor’s first meeting with Sid when they went for a walk after the farewell party? She was forward in making it clear that she did not want to sleep with him.
Even after developing a deep friendship with Sid, she was very honest in admitting that they could never be more than friends. She described him as “childish, immature, childish…not the kind of person she was looking for”. She was clear about her preference for an independent, career-oriented “man”, not a “boy”.
3. You are intelligent and like to be independent
Ayesha chose an independent life for herself, moving away from her home, and gradually progressed from living in a hostel to renting an apartment. The film highlights the clear differences between Sid and Ayesha when she warns Sid about not littering the house, maintaining cleanliness and other household responsibilities. These moments show a more mature and wise side of Ayesha.
4. You find happiness in small things
For Ayesha Banerjee, happiness was as simple as, “You, me and two cups of tea.” Do you remember his simple birthday celebration with a candle on a piece of bread? It really captured the essence of finding happiness in the small things.
5. You always stand by your friend
When it comes to friendship, you don’t always follow what is considered morally or socially correct. It was great to see that when Sid impulsively decided to leave her house, Ayesha let him stay with her. She didn’t think twice about sharing her apartment with a guy.
Which of these qualities can you connect with?
