Piyush: You are looking amazing in the promos of kidnap...
Minissha Lamba: Piyush, Thank u so much. Will that be good enough for you to watch the film and take all ur friends?

Ahmet: hey...how is Sanju bhai on the set?
Minissha Lamba: ahmet, I hardly had any scenes with him. What I know of him is that he is a very shy person and I am a bit shy as well. So all we would to say is Hello to each other :-)

deepu.lalwani: hi minisha...were u conscious before donning Bikini.
Minissha Lamba: Deepu, Not at all. I felt that if I had decided to do it, I needed to give it my all. And give it the due confidence that wearing a bikini on screen requires.

Karansyd: hi minisha Lamba...Kidnap is pitting against Drona what u think kidnap business will get affected.
Minissha Lamba: karansyd, I think all films should do well. Even if we have 5 films releasing this weekend, its a long weekend. And hopefully the forces will be kind to all :-)

Karansyd: hi ...how was it enacting Simran in BEH and reliving the golden moments of the historic film DDLG?
Minissha Lamba: karan, I was actually Mahi in the film. But no one can take the place of Simran. Just as I was a fan of DDLJ, revisiting those places brought back the most amazing childhood memories, which were experienced while watching DDLJ.

Arsh: Hi...if someone says, ur film will not work at the box office, then what would be ur reaction like?
Minissha Lamba: Arsh, well, I wish that sum1 would be right in everything else in life...except for this one particular thing :-)
