Ayesha misses Patrick Swaze

When I worked with Patrick, I was very young, and his attitude to his craft had a profound effect on me.
He was a perfectionist, very focused and quite private. He really did his homework to get into the role and lived it very intensely. He was very humble in his approach and open to people, though his star quality shone through.
The thing that struck me was that at the peak of his career, he was so much in love with his wife, Lisa (Niemi), who was a dancer.I thought they were a very beautiful couple and it looked like a bit of a fairytale. I knew that Patrick had worked very hard to achieve his success, and as a young person, it was great to see an actor at the peak of his career who was so connected to his family.
There was no reason for him to spend so much time with the kids on the sets, but he did. I remember he would fling us into the pool. For my 12th birthday, my big treat was that I got to dance with Patrick at the Pink Elephant in Kolkata.
I am proud to have worked with him. My thoughts are with his family.
