naidu_kishore asked, Hi Minnisha, everyone favorite, how are you doing today. Would like to know from you How do you pick your roles?
Minissha Lamba answers, Its very instinctive. Either I like the story in 10 minutes or I know that this isnt the film I would be a part of.
Ashwani asked, Hi Minissha. Have you ever considered doing an all-out action role a la Rekha? You'd look insanely good in a cop uniform!
Minissha Lamba answers, I am dying to. I just hope a filmmaker out there is writing a fabulous action film for me
ManishaLamboo asked, Would you have done the movie "The Dirty Picture" - which is done by Vidya Balan?
Minissha Lamba answers, Maybe I would have but I dont think I would have agreed to put on weight. That is the one thing that I find the most difficult to loose.
'I prefer quality over quantity'
Abhinav asked, Madhubala of Mughle Azam or Rekha of Umrao Jaan, which one is according to you is better?
Minissha Lamba answers, Ah! I have no right to comment on the greatest actresses we have had in Hindi cinema except to say that there is a lot that I would need to achieve after such great roles and performances from our actresses of the yesteryears.
vishal asked, In future you want to be film direction?

Minissha Lamba answers, I prefer quality over quantity.
'Casting couch is a myth'
rabiddog asked, Have u been thro the casting couch?
Minissha Lamba answers, The casting couch issue is huge myth. Crores of rupees are riding on films and producers and makers make informed choices about who will work best for their films.
riya asked, Hi Minissha...what inspired you to turn into your current glamorous avataar from a deglam one since you started your career?
Minissha Lamba answers, I think that was a neccesity rather than a choice.
Ayan asked, Hello Minisha , let me begin by complimenting that you really are quite pretty. The question that I would want to ask is if you would not have been an actor what would you be ? Hoping to be replied
Minissha Lamba answers, I would be a war journalist.

sharukh asked, If you get two projects at the same time, one with strong script but no glamour in your role and another with a glamourous role. which one will you go for? Will you go for scripts like Yahaan and Well Done Abba or Kidnap?
Minissha Lamba answers, Oh. I will slyly sign both work for one during the day and the other at night.
Minissha Lamba says, Thank you so much for your overwhleming response. I really regret that rediff allows me only 1 hour to chat leaving a lot of questions unanswered but I promise to be back soon and chat with you once again. Mwaaaaaaaaaah
