Ayesha Kapur, the multitalented, 17-year old once solely known for her awardwinning performance in Black, has branched out on her own. The young actress recently turned accessory designer with the launch of her brand – Ayesha Accessories and retails her funky accessories (that includes everything from hair-bands, rings, chains and bracelets to headscarves and laptop sleeves!) across India. Constantly on the lookout for new and exciting things, Ayesha also happens to be an equestrian sportsperson. Youth Inc shoots the young star some quick questions.
