Ayesha Thapar

Ayesha Thapar Yesil knows she was born with the proverbial silver spoon. But this princess of style also had a rebellious streak in her.













"My dad was known for what he had achieved while I was known only as his daughter," she says about dad Vikram, adding, "There was always the pressure to be the best. People would endlessly talk about how I was, how I conducted myself... and that was bugging. Even my parents wanted me to be perfect in public. But I guess you have to take the good with the bad and everything comes for a price."













After marrying Turkish tycoon Engin Yesil, Ayesha today divides her time between Turkey, India and Miami.













"Engin doesn't fit the picture of my Prince Charming perfectly. But he has strong morals and the love that I wanted to see in my partner's eyes. And then my parents did their own share of checking too. They met him for the first time in New York and they scared the hell out of him. For 14 hours, they asked him questions. Engin understood that he wasn't marrying just about anybody!" she says.













One look at Ayesha and it's obvious she is not 'anybody'. "I am what I am. And I have no regrets in life. I know I was born with good looks by God's grace, but I have also done justice to them. I don't wear this mask of being the perfect person either... I even smoke in front of my parents," she says.
