She shone in Nagesh Kukunoor's Dor and managed to hold her own in the multistarrer Salaam-e-Ishq.

And now, she has become a hit with Rediff readers as well, when she chatted with them on March 1.

That's Ayesha Takia for you.

The pretty actress chatted about her take on kissing, dealing with idiots and the sexiest man alive! For those who missed the fun chat, here's the transcript.

Ayesha Takia says, firstly, thank you everyone for the compliments..its really sweet of you!

Ayesha Takia answers, Yes, I am doing a Hindi version of Ghajini.

san asked, will u do any kissing scenes?
Ayesha Takia answers, I've always done things according to my principles and morals and some things just don't fit in. Therefore, I won't be able to do such scenes.

harry0704 asked, ayesha love your work in Dor.It's was simply outstanding.
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey, Harry thanks so much. It is one of my favourite films too. I'm glad that everyone has liked it so much. Makes me want to do more similar films.

perivamsi asked, Do you enjoy reading books?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Perivamsi, yeah, I do love reading books. Whenever I get the time, I do try to read them. Although I wish I was much more of a reader than I am.

niz asked, how are you feeling to work with Amir Khan
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Niz, I choose all my movies according to the roles that really excite me. That's what matters at the end of the day. He is a fab actor, so I'm sure it will be really great working with him.

gaurav_83 asked, hello Ayesha
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Gaurav :)

Shrirang asked, Hi Ayesha, you have shown your calibre in sexy as well as sobre looking roles. Which one do you like more...and which one will you go for in future ?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Shrirang, I will always do roles that really excite me and makes me happy. At the end of the day, being an actor means you should be able to do all kinds of stuff.

yogesh love asked, Aisha either realy you answer me, mera number yaega kya, Now seriously asking i'm in love and my love means Roshni is not matured enough to oppose her family to marry me and she already given commitment to and my family she definatly marry me and when I go to her house and talk to her in front of family she says I don't wont marry you and all without any clarificaion. The question is why girls commit and why they not fullfill their commitments ?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Yogesh, my name is spelled Ayesha :) I'm really sorry to hear about what happened with your girlfriend. Everything that happens is according to destiny. And i'm sure if something doesn't work it's because it wasn't meant to be. In the future, you will know this was for the best. Good luck!

Afzal asked, The Venus music people, Ganesh Jain, Ratan Jain etc are notorious for their casting couch which all their new heroines have to go through. Since they were among your first producers, what was your experience?
Ayesha Takia answers, Afzal, my dad interacts with my producers because he handles my dates and stuff. I only interact with my directors. I don't know these people.

sasank_ch asked,  hi good morning to all and very good morning to Ayeshaa.I was under the impression you are yet another beautiful girl in the industry.But now after Dor I feel you are here to stay..good job...keep doing such roles along with mainstream glamour roles. How was it shooting for Dor? Any special preparations?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Sasank, thanks a ton. Dor was a fab film. Everyone was great in it. I do look forward to doing more films like this. The experience was great as Nagesh is a really close friend. The whole unit was great fun. As for preparations, I had to ask a lot of questions about the women in Rajasthan-- how they spoke and their body language. As this was a true story so it was a responsibility to play it right.

siwatch1 asked, Howdy!!.I am sure too much attention is one problem in being a celeb. Do you miss being a celeb if for e.g. you are in a foreign country for some time? (more than probably 2 months lets say).
Ayesha Takia answers, Hi, It was fun. I love travelling. Since there are Indians all over the world, we are recognised everywhere we go.

Rajagopal asked, Did u go to any acting school???
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Rajagopal, I've never been to any acting school. I honestly believe that acting is something spontaneous and can't really be learnt, though such classes could maybe help people lose their inhibitions. But at the end of the day, you just got to be able to have it in you.

topliwala asked, hi Ayesha, any message from you to youngsters?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey, I'd just tell everyone to work really hard and maintain your dignity and respect at every step. Work comes and goes but at the end of the day everyone grows older and you only have your people left. As love rules my world, I believe it's really really important.

Srijith Unni asked, Hi Ayesha, I think you did an outstanding job in Dor. What are your future projects.? Will you please drop the glamdoll image?
Ayesha Takia answers, I've never really planned on an image, therefore I do films like Dor, Socha Na Tha, Yuon Hota. Hopefully, I'll get a mix of all kinds of films so I can cater to all kinds of audiences.

Ayeshaa asked, Whats your age Ayesha?
Ayesha Takia answers, Never ask a woman her age :P

smily asked, Hai Ayesha...how are you....what is the secret of your beauty.... yo'ure very beautiful...I like you
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Smily, that's really sweet. I think looks are determined by genetics and family:P

Kaku asked, Hi Ayesh, what is your next film?
Ayesha Takia answers, My next films are De Talli, Kya Love Story Hai, Fool and Final, Sunday, Ghajini, Aladdin, and Blood Brothers.

Anirban asked, Hello Ayesha, how do you manage stardom?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hi, I feel really lucky that I've never met recognise, compliment and appreciate what I do. It feels really great. On the sets I'm an actor but when I get back home i'm just Ayesha the sister, daughter, girlfriend, friend:)

anurag12 asked, Hi Ayesha, Anurag here!! Wanted to know which do you prefer--mainstream cinema or offbeat films like Dor?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Anurag, I really feel that at the end of the day it's about doing satisfying work. Whether it is a mainstream film or Dor. It has to be something that excites me.

saarim asked, Hi Ayesha... is it true you fast during the month of Ramzan?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hi Saarim, yes it is true. I fast the entire month of Ramzan, last here too. It felt absolutely amazing. Honestly. Especially when youre doing it out of love :)

Surya110 asked, Hi Ayesha, which actor do u consider the most sexy?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hi Surya, I don't really think about that stuff because my boyfriend just happens to be the sexiest man alive! :P

Alexa asked, Ayesha...how do u cope with idiots?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Alexa, I love your question! I put them on to my mom.

hatty asked, hi Ayesha, how are things between you and Farhan? what attracted you to him? Is it a schooltime romance?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hi Hatty! I think two people sometimes just click. You know its right from the moment you start to talk and get to know each other. No, it's only been two years, not a school romance.

abhiju asked, I think you're going to be the next Number one in the industry. What do you think specially about it?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Abhi, thanks so much! I believe that it's not about number one two or three. If I wanted to be in the ratrace, I'd be a rat. I honestly want to be rememebered as someone who tried to do good films and on my own terms. So it doesn't really matter what number I'm slotted in.

PrithviTomer asked, What do you do when you are really depressed?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Prithvi, there's one life and I believe that there are a lot of people that probably have a lot more problems than me. I always try to look at the brighter side. And I think it's important to talk to people you are close to. Take care!

csazad asked, Hi Ayesha, I just love your attitude. Where all the other actresses are dying for getting roles. I heard you saying in one interview "Main agar Film mein kaam nahi Karoongi to mar nahi Jaungi". Hats off to you. From then I became your die hard fan. I know you love your boyfriend very much, so will you continue doing films or will settle down after marriage?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey thanks a ton! But I really do believe that! Films are great fun but they're just films not my life. My life is much more than that. Right now, marriage is not on the cards. And yes, I love him to death. And about my plans after marriage, I guess I'll only know then. Who knows about the future?

Anup Shrivastava asked, Hey Ayesha,where do u get your smile from? It's simply amazing. Also can u tell your DOB(date of birth).
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Anup, thank for the compliment. I think the life you lead and the people around you that love you and cushion everything for you, makes your life the way it is. So for me, I owe my smile to my family.

SUWAR asked, Hello Ayesha!!! Would you mind saying a sweet hello to me in response? I wish you all the best for the future.
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey! thanks so much:)

Sougata DC asked, Do yiou in real life smile with nose wrinkled up and eyes half closed? You look so beautiful. Do you contemplate in acting in Bengali films?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey (laughs), yes that is how I really smile. In fact when I first started films, some people even told me 'smile normally, don't do that'..but i really didn't care and continued whatever I wanted to do:D And yeah, why not! If the role really excites me of course I'd like to.

VASA asked, Please reply me Aaaaaayyyyeeeeeessssshhhaaaaaaaaaa
Ayesha Takia answers, Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Vasa! :D

chatsudeep asked, What do you think about your personal agenda in film industry? Whether it will affect your personal life.I wrote this because I knew you have cool and sweet status of mind. Love you.
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey, really sweet of you! As I always say I'm here to enjoy the films I'm doing. Only then will people who are watching enjoy it as well.

ajay_smile asked, What do you think is better awards or more films?
Ayesha Takia answers, Hey Ajay, I honestly believe that at the end of the day a good performance pays off more than anything else.

Ayesha Takia answers, The people that I love!
