sandy asked, After Dor and Mod, what next? Will you work with Nagesh only..or still open to do movies like Wanted?

Ayesha Takia answers
, It always depends on the script and my role as an actor. These are the things that I look for when I am choosing a film. I have been able to do Dor and now Mod with Nagesh so he is one of my favourite directors to work with.

Palak asked, Pls tell the strong points of your movie Mod which should compel people to watch it.

Ayesha Takia answers
, Firstly after Dor I feel the film has the same magic and me and Nagesh coming together is always fun. Also it is a simple and sweet love story which I consider timeless.

barikutsav asked, You are extremely beautiful. You could have superseded all the top heroines. What prevented you from becoming a top actress?

Ayesha Takia answers
, My life has been about choosing different things from most people think that I should have chosen. It always has been about my hapiness and peace of mind therfore I have never startagised or planned my career

FARHANDELHI asked, Do you have any plans to join Politics in future?

Ayesha Takia answers
