De De Pyaar De just turned six — and no, it hasn’t aged a day. While the film gave us a refreshing take on love across generations, one name still has fans cheering louder than a DJ at a shaadi: Ayesha, played with infectious charm by Rakul Preet Singh.
Ayesha wasn’t your run-of-the-mill rom-com heroine. She was bold, brainy, and refreshingly blunt — the kind of woman who could match Ajay Devgn’s punchlines with her own mic drops. Rakul brought a rare mix of sparkle and substance to the role, making Ayesha less ‘love interest’ and more ‘main character energy.’ Basically, she wasn’t just in the love triangle — she redefined the angles.
This role didn’t just steal scenes — it launched Rakul’s Bollywood innings with a sixer. Fans and filmmakers alike sat up, took notes, and started bookmarking her for more. The applause hasn’t stopped since.
“It’s double dose of masala and double dose of dhamaka. I am excited to be Ayesha (her character) again. It’s great to be working with one of my most favourite teams which include people like Ajay Devgn Sir (her co-star), Luv Ranjan Sir (producer) and the director Anshul Sharma. It is like home coming for me. Because when I did De De Pyaar De it kick started my journey in Hindi movies. After working in Telugu films this Hindi film gave me that love and so the Part 2 has got me very excited.”

So here’s to Ayesha — the girl who didn’t just get the guy, but also got our applause, admiration, and full attention. Her legacy lives on, one witty comeback at a time.
