Ayesha Khan recalled joining an agency as a newcomer years ago. During a photoshoot, they requested her to wear a black netted top without an inner garment despite her initial discomfort.

Ayesha mentioned that agencies often cited examples like Madhuri Dixit to justify such demands, questioning how these individuals achieved success.
Ayesha Khan speaks out about experiencing sexual harassment in an autorickshaw
She recounted an incident that occurred two years ago while she was traveling in an autorickshaw wearing a knee-length dress. According to Ayesha Khan, the auto driver alerted her that someone was trailing them from behind. Speculating that it might have been a fan from her Instagram reels, she noticed a man approaching and attempting to touch her thighs while the auto was in motion. Ayesha described the experience as deeply traumatizing.
She also shared an incident from her time living in Malad. While returning after buying sev puri, a man on a scooter, who appeared older than her father, stopped beside her.
