However, while she may have enjoyed a wonderful life so far, one life goal of hers remained unaccomplished – her dream of being a Disney channel star.

Ayesha Curry set out on her acting career at a mere age of three, alongside Tim Allen. Then came a renowned stint in Miley Cyrus’ Hannah Montana. However, just when her acting career seemed to take off, a series of unfortunate events shattered her dreams. She discussed this very incident in 2019 on the “Girlboss Radio” with Avery Francis.

“Everything was going great like I always kept a job….but it got to the point where I had these dreams of being a Disney channel star”said Ayesha. She added “When I turned 18 and the stuff that was coming in was a little bit different. And I wasn’t very prepared for it, I was a very sheltered child….I just didn’t want to have to sacrifice my morals…I was like I don’t really know who I am. Like I’m so used to trying to be somebody else….So I stopped, went back home.” 

She mentioned the medical issue, saying “I got this really bad case of laryngitis like to the point where I realised I’ve got nobody out here. No family, barely had any friends, nobody wanted to take me to the hospital. I called my parents crying and I was like I just wanna come home…”
