Ayesha Khan, who featured in the special song Tenu Shararat Sikhava in Dhurandhar (2025), recently spent three days in London, where she attended the Wimbledon Championships. Watching Serbian tennis star and seventh seed Novak Djokovic on Centre Court turned her into an admirer.She says, “I attended the quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Félix Auger-Aliassime on Centre Court. It turned out to be one of the longest quarter-finals in Wimbledon history, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have witnessed it. I’m definitely rooting for Djokovic because I got the chance to see him play in person, and I’ve become a fan. Everything I’d heard and read about him, especially his resilience and discipline, was reflected on the court.”The actress, who also participated in Bigg Boss 17, found the atmosphere every bit as memorable as the action on court. She says, “One of my favourite parts of the day was having the traditional strawberries and cream. Seeing people from all over the world come together for the championship was an experience in itself.”Ayesha has always been drawn to the legacy and prestige associated with Wimbledon. “I wouldn’t call myself a die-hard tennis fan in the traditional sense, but I’ve always enjoyed sport. Wimbledon, though, is different. Everyone knows what this championship stands for, and the legacy and prestige it carries. So, even without following tennis match by match, being there felt surreal. There’s something about the atmosphere that you simply can’t experience on television.”The match also reinforced a lesson that resonated with her beyond sport. “Watching any athlete lose a point, fall behind and reset within seconds is a mindset I try to carry into my own life and work. It’s a reminder to never give up, no matter what the scoreline may be,” she concludes.
