However, Ayesha’s mother wasn’t happy with her choice to marry a boy who lived in a small housing complex and had no steady job. In an interview, while talking about it, she said,

When I started dating my husband, my mother had completely banned it because he was like ‘Jaggu dada’. And then of course there are people who fill your ears and say ‘he is such a bad boy.’ So I used to sneak out and meet him. And finally one day, I just told my mother ‘you know mom, he may not be the richest guy in the world, but he is the best hearted guy and he will keep me happy.’ And she said, ‘how you’re going to live there,’ because at that time we were living in Teen Batti Chawl.”

Controversy

Row with Sahil Khan

In 2009, there were rumours that she was in a relationship with the Indian actor and fitness entrepreneur Sahil Khan, who is 17 years younger than her. Initially, Sahil Khan denied the rumours of their relationship. Later, while talking to the reporters, he said that Ayesha was asking him to return all the gifts she had gifted him earlier. In November 2014, Ayesha filed a cheating case against Sahil for not returning her Rs 8 crore. She also filed a defamation case against Sahil for maligning her image. In February 2015, during the hearings in the court, Sahil Khan’s lawyer submitted intimate photographs of him and Ayesha as proof of their relationship. In the court, Sahil said that Ayesha asked him to quit a job with Rs 60,000 salary, and when her son Tiger did a hit film, she dumped Sahil. His lawyer said,

Sahil did not give back the gifts, which Ayesha had asked him to buy with the money given by her for an expensive car for her husband, an expensive watch and a pair of diamond earrings. If she is saying that theirs was a business relationship, why did she ask Sahil to buy all this for her?”

In the court, when Ayesha was asked about it, she claimed that Sahil was a gay man, and it was not possible for her to have a relationship with him. Her lawyer said,

The court should not entertain the photographs as they do not concern the matter at hand. Also, if you (the defence) are showing such photos, we need the source as they could be morphed. We need Sahil’s custody so that we can investigate about the cheating, the gifts that he has not given back and about the phone from which the pictures were taken.”

In March 2015, the matter was settled between both parties. The court asked Sahil to apologise to Ayesha Shroff and her family for defaming her image in public. Later, Ayesha withdrew the case she had filed against Sahil. In 2018, the matter came into the media again when Ayesha Shroff was accused of sourcing the call record details of Sahil Khan. [6]Mid-Day According to a leading newspaper,

The two were involved in a dispute and she allegedly sourced the CDR of the actor, and handed it to her counsel Rizwan Siddiqui.”
