Ayesha Kanga, renowned for her portrayal of the headstrong and spirited Yashika in the series Class, has become the latest sensation among the Gen Z crowd. She captivated audiences with her performance as a scheming character in Class.
Graduating as a top performer from the National Institute of Design (NID), Ayesha Kanga is ambitiously eyeing a future in Bollywood while aiming to leave an influential mark on the Indian fashion scene. Vogue, a leading fashion magazine, has acknowledged her influence by naming her the Most Disruptive Force of Fashion.
Reflecting on her remarkable journey, Ayesha expresses gratitude for the overwhelming love Class received, emphasizing how her character, Yashika, played a pivotal role in boosting her confidence. In a surprising revelation, she discloses that the show's director, Ashim Ahluwalia, granted her creative input, allowing her to contribute to the show's development.
Ayesha is thrilled about the year that she has had. She said, “What a year it’s been. The overwhelming love that Class received gave me the confidence boost I needed to present myself to the world, unapologetically. And credit goes to possibly the greyest mean-girl archetype, Yashika. Debuting as a character as headstrong and feisty as her, gave me so much to work with. I fell in love with her the day I auditioned.”
No one knows this but Class director, the inimitable Ashim Ahluwalia, got Ayesha to also contribute creatively to the show!
Ayesha said, “An unending thanks to the visionary, Ashim Ahluwalia, for giving me the creative freedom to mould this character into my own. Whether it was re-writing Yashika’s dialogue, co-creating a scene that wasn’t written into the show, writing the digital inserts of livestream comments and text messages on the show, or suggesting outfits she’d wear - thank you for letting me bring Yashika to life.”
She added, “We even got to cast my sister Trisha on the show. Trisha ended up writing a hilarious improvised scene as well! I’m so lucky,”
Ayesha’s life changed overnight as Class grabbed the nation’s attention! “Hearing the iconic TUDUM sound play right before watching the first episode on release day was absolutely surreal. I still can’t believe it. Netflix, man. Thank you. Ever since I debuted on Netflix, it’s been one big party for me, professionally,” she said.
She added, “From creative direction to self-styling every red carpet, I’m slowly starting to live out every single one of my dreams. All I’ve ever wanted is to create some sort of art- in fashion, and in performance.”
Ayesha reveals her wait to shine has been longer since she is an outsider. But now that she is here, she intends to give it her all!
The young actress said, “Being an industry outsider who’s never even really foot in an acting class - god knows, I’ve had to work to get here. But I’ve never felt more driven than I am today. As an actor perpetually motivated to carve a distinctive niche, I’m committed to working tirelessly to substantiate my work as an actor and make an indelible mark on an industry I’ve loved for so long.”
