Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sensharma starrer Wake Up Sid brings a fresh breeze of air with it. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, Aisha Banerjee’s character has stayed with fans over the years, resonating deeply—and for all the right reasons. Cherishing this beloved character, we’ve curated a list of qualities from her personality. Find out if you can relate:
“The New Girl In The City,” Konkona Sensharma’s Aisha Banerjee moves from Kolkata to Mumbai to follow her dreams. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to get out of your comfort zone to have that liberating experience, which can even be intimidating for some. While seeking a job, she was even willing to clean her boss’s table. Can you imagine the grit she had?
Aisha was a determined woman, fully prepared to navigate life in a fast-paced city. She was modern, feminist, and clear about her thoughts. Remember her first meeting with Ranbir Kapoor’s Sid when they went for a walk after the farewell party? She was upfront in clarifying that she didn’t want to sleep with him.
Even after developing a warm friendship with Sid, she was very honest in admitting they could never be more than friends. She described him as “a kid, immature, childish… not someone she was looking for.” She was clear about her preference for an independent, career-oriented “man” and not a “boy.”
Aisha chose an independent life for herself, moving away from her home, and gradually progressing from living in a hostel to renting an apartment. The stark contrast between Sid and Aisha is highlighted in the film when she warns Sid about not messing up the house, maintaining hygiene, and other household responsibilities. These moments showcase Aisha’s even more mature and wiser side.
For Aisha Banerjee, happiness was as simple as “Tum, main aur do cup chai.” Remember her low-key birthday celebration with a candle on a piece of bread? It truly captured the essence of finding joy in the little things.
When it comes to friendships, you don’t always follow what is considered morally or socially right. It was heartwarming to see Aisha let Sid stay with her after he impulsively decided to leave his house. She didn’t think twice about sharing her apartment with a boy.

Vettaiyan, directed by TJ Gnanavel and starring Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role along with an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, and Manju Warrier, has maintained a solid hold on its second day.
The Tamil language movie is released as a pan-India venture in multiple languages. The movie recorded another banger day in its home, where it grossed around Rs 16 crore after an opening day of Rs 19.75 crore. In two days, the total box office collection for Vettaiyan has reached Rs 36 crore at the Kollywood box office. The movie is expected to end its extended first weekend around Rs 70 crore in Tamil Nadu.
Vettaiyan is also performing well in Kerala, where it collected Rs 3 crore on the second day. It shows a good hold in Karnataka but dropped in Telugu states today.
As per estimates, the movie has grossed Rs 25 crore on its second day in India, bringing its two days total collection to Rs 60.85 crore gross at the domestic box office.
The TJ Gnanavel movie has met with positive-to-mixed word of mouth, driving its wheel to a favorable end. However, it’s too early to predict where it’s heading. The real test will begin on weekdays. If it keeps luring the audience, the cop action-drama can write another success story at the box office.
Rajinikanth enjoys a huge fan base internationally, too. The movie opened with USD 3.3 million in foreign locations, which is Rs 27 crore in Indian currencies. According to estimates, it collected well on its second day, too, taking its two-day worldwide gross close to Rs 100 crore.
Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth, showcases the story of SP Athiyan IPS, a police officer stationed in Kanniyakumari living with his wife and nephew. The man is known to be an encounter specialist and feared by many criminals, earning him the nickname Vettaiyan, meaning The Hunter.
Along with his professional life, the IPS officer meets a girl called Saranya, a school teacher, and fights for the rights of her students and education. Amitabh Bachchan takes on the role of Supreme Court Justice Sathyadev who advocates for human rights and emphasizes that not all crimes should conclude in encounters.
However, things take a dark turn, prompting Athiyan to take matters into his own hands and even get transferred to Chennai. This sets up the rest of the investigative drama and a conflict of ideologies between encountering criminals and human rights.
Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan‘s Vettaiyan is now playing at a theatre near you. Have you watched the movie yet? If yes, what are your thoughts on it?
