Ayesha Takia and boyfriend Farhan Azmi have decided to get married.

The two had been seeing each other for around 3 years and were quite committed and open about their relationship, so the news of an impending marriage comes as little surprise.

The date has not been announced, but the wedding is expected to be at the end of the year or the beginning of 2009.

Ayesha's non happening career could have been partly responsible for the decision. A talented actress, Ayesha has not had any hits, despite doing some decent films.

Her policy to "not expose" had limited her options in Bollywood where nothing sells like glamour and a bit of skin show.

She was last seen in De Talli!, which fared poorly as well.

Ayesha and Farhan, who is a restauranteur and Samajwadi Party politician Abu Asim Azmi's son, have plans to set up a boutique hotel in Goa.
