Ayesha Jhulka recalls getting roles that expected her ‘to stand like prop’: I’m not a big name, I am also not a nobody

According to Ayesha Jhulka, the types of jobs that were being offered to her caused her to take an extended break from acting in movies and television shows. She claimed that most of them required her to “stand like a prop” or were repetitions of things she had already done. With Tanuja Chandra’s Prime Video series Hush Hush, Ayesha has made a comeback. She previously appeared in the 2018 movie Genius.

Tanuja’s Hush Hush, which also stars Juhi Chawla, Shahana Goswami, Karishma Tanna, Soha Ali Khan, and Kritika Kamra, had its Prime Video debut on Friday. It is a suspenseful thriller that follows the lives of four friends: Dolly Dalal (Kritika Kamra), a prominent lobbyist who is caught up in a family conflict, ex-investigative journalist Saiba Tyagi (Soha), fashion designer Zaira Shaikh (Shahana), and powerful lobbyist Ishi Sangamitra (Juhi).

Ayesha talked about how long it took her to return to the big screen in an interview with Indian Express “Either I was getting the roles I had already played or I was getting large films with big directors and big producers and a big star cast where I had no part. It was incredibly challenging to refuse since everyone around me would get excited and assume that it was a huge production, etc. It is okay, do it; what now are you hoping for a Filmfare award or what?, others said in an attempt to persuade me. I would agree after hearing all of this, but the following morning I would disagree because I was still not convinced.”

She added, “Because you had an Ayesha Jhulka in your production, I wouldn’t be expected to do anything special in those positions; nevertheless, I wouldn’t be expected to stand there like a nobody either. I didn’t want to be included in a project merely because of my name or anything associated with it. I didn’t want to be utilised. It gives you the creeps. People didn’t mind if I declined jobs, but I would struggle if I agreed to take on roles that I felt weren’t appropriate. Even when it came to things I didn’t want to do, I felt as though I had to constantly prove myself.”

Ayesha had previously stated to PTI that she was “extremely sorry” because ten years ago, “they didn’t know what to do with me or someone in their 40s because we have seen women as heroines or the mother of the hero.”

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck

As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.

Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.

The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.

“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”

“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”

After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.

“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”

Jennifer told Interview Magazine, “I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.’ And then I thought, ‘No, this is exactly where I needed to be.’”
