Choreographer-director Farah Khan is a dynamo. The mother of triplets juggles films, family, television shows and now a brand new chat show Tere Mere Beach Mein with aplomb.

How does she do all this? Well, fans got their chance to ask Farah herself on her movies, and her close star friends in the industry on Wednesday during a rediff chat. For those of you who missed the chat, here's what transpired:

Farah Khan says, Hi. This is Farah and I hope you have seen the first episode, with Salman and his mom!

riya asked, Ramdan App ko bhii mubarak HOooooo
Farah Khan answers, Ramdan Mubarak and Happy Ganesh Chaturthi.

anu asked, u must not have said those bad words about manoj kumar.
Farah Khan answers, Hey Anu, No of course I haven't said any bad words about Manoj Kumar. I really respect and love his movies, especially Clerk.

RahulK asked, Farah, please try to get Aamir and Shahrukh together for your talk show.
Farah Khan answers, Rahul, if I could get them for a chat show, why not for a movie? That'd be far more lucrative.

saan asked, when you make a film which look more a "cinema" than a unrealistic drama
Farah Khan answers, Saan, there are already lots of people making 'cinema' and losing lots of money. Can I please keep making money for the film industry? It really needs it.

Malik asked, Farah will like to see u making Sequel Of OSO .. can u do it again ?
Farah Khan answers, We had actually thought of a sequel. But sorry we won't be making it. It had Arjun Rampal's son coming to take revenge.

SAJID asked, WAT MADE YOU TO BECOME AN ANCHOR FOR THE SHOW ? WILL U INVITE UR HUBBY FOR THE SHOW?
Farah Khan answers, Sajid, I guess I got a lot of offers to host a show and this show really excited me, because it was my concept. And my hubby has really played very hard to get, to get on the show.

Farah Khan answers, Getz, we had a lot on Salman, but the show is supposed to run only for an hour. And actually Salman's show ran for an hour and fifteen minutes. So sorry, unless the channel wants to run one episode for the whole day, this is what you'll get.

vikas asked, do u like Anu Malik as a co judge in reality shows .. sometime your expressions says he is a big fool
Farah Khan answers, Vikas, yes I love Anu Malik! My expressions are what they are because sometimes I can't understand what he's saying.

Nishant asked, Hello Farah ji, i have a desire to see you working with a r rahman..is it possible???
Farah Khan answers, Nishant, even I have a great desire to work AR Rahman. Maybe if I make a Hollywood movie next.

LAAJOJEEKEEBAHAN asked, hi farah.... i have nothing against you.... but tell me, does it give u pleasure to make joke of stars during awards ceremonies??? farah khan, sajis KHAN, shahrukh KHAN, Saif ali KHAN have same nature.... can u explain y??? Ashutosh Gowarikar is right... "there's difference between having fun n making fun...."
Farah Khan answers, Did you see what he did to Priyanka at the IIFA? I think having a sense of humour is far more important.

AmVi asked, Hey farah, is there any new movie thats coming up from u? been waiting after om shanti om..
Farah Khan answers, I am going to start writing my script, which is called Happy New Year.

bageshri asked, Farah what one thing is diffrent from your chat show to the other chat shows?According to you?
Farah Khan answers, If you have seen my chat show, you will know Bageshri, we don't do any gossip or sensationalise what the guests are saying. We show them as humanly as possible, as they are.

nadeem. asked, hi farah r u making any movie by casting shahid, saif & kareena & of course shahrukh no, plz cast na
Farah Khan answers, Nadeem, won't that be a casting coup? Shahid, Kareena AND Saif! Wow, your list of demands are just too much.

Farah Khan answers, Michael Jackson. I have no formal training. I learnt it all from Thriller.

Nishant asked,  Hello farahji is it true that u r casting sirish kunder sir alongside SRK in Happy New Year???
Farah Khan answers, Nishant, for once and for all, I am not casting Shirish. Imagine me directing my husband! That's the end of my marriage.

renu asked, Hi Farah, ramdan mubharak! Watched 'Tere Mere Beech Mein' & enjoyed too. Any particular reason why you chose to do just 1 episode per week?
Farah Khan answers, It's actually two episodes per week. Saturday and Sunday, at 9 pm on Star Plus. This week's episodes are really very special. So watch!

MOHAMMED asked, FARAH CAN YOU INVITE SANIA MIRZA ON THIS SHOW ?
Farah Khan answers, Mohammed, we did call Sania on the show, but she was getting engaged. Maybe Season Two.

xansys asked, WHAT IS UR PAN NO.
Farah Khan answers, Xansys, I can't give you my PAN number. Will my pot number do?

SONIA asked, did u really think shaleen daljeet were better than megha n her guy

MOHAMMED asked, DOES THIS FARAH KHAN GET ANGRY ? I NEVER SAW U GETTING FRUSTRATED in ANY SHOWS ?
Farah Khan answers, Mohammed, have you not seen Nach Baliye 4? I was going to kill the contestants.

Tannu asked, hai Farah ji i am tanuja from andhrapradesh i want to meet shahrukh please can u do this favour for me i am a patient before i will go i want to see shahrukh i know its not happend when i see that ur today in chating celebrity that i think i can try..............its a my humble request............farah ji
Farah Khan answers, Tannu, please relax. You may break the computer.

Santhosh asked, Can you have the show somewhere in an outdoor location rather than inside studio...
Farah Khan answers, No we can't, Santhosh. There will be a stampede when people see the stars. Also the sound is a big problem outdoors.

godeepaksingh asked, Are you actually replying or is it some assisstant on your behalf. As I understand most of these chats are just fake things.
Farah Khan answers, Godeep, I am forfeiting my lunch hour for this. It is me. I would never let someone else reply on my behalf.

sarita asked, Hi Farah! Seen first episode of ur chat show. It was good. In fact diff from other chat shows. Diff ques and answers. Hat ke types. hope to c many more in coming time. Was it really diificult to make celebrity speak something unusual?
Farah Khan answers, Sarita, actually it was quite easy. They are so used to being asked the same questions again and again that even for them it was a pleasant change to answer questions that they have never been asked before.

nagraj asked, FARAH how ru? don't you think that shahrukh khan is over-rated actor? even boys in our locality are much more handsome and better actors than him
Farah Khan answers, Nagraj, I guess by 'boys in your locality' you mean you. Too bad for them that they're not Shah Rukh Khan.

Dev asked, Whats the difference between directing a movie and directing an serial? which u think involves more challenge?
Farah Khan answers, Dev, first of all I'm not directing the serial (chat show), I'm hosting it. Definitely directing a film is most exciting.

Jatin asked, Farahji, will you be inviting any political leaders in your chat show. It would be fun to watch Jaswant Singh, Advaniji, Raj Thackeray coming on your chat show?
Farah Khan answers, Jatin, we definitely try next time. And why have you forgotten Lalu?

Farahrocks asked, Hi Farah, Have u dare to go on Scha ka Saamna.
Farah Khan answers, No. Even I don't have that much guts.

Farahrocks asked, Hi Farah what is secret behind ur figure ?
Farah Khan answers, Avoiding the gym at all times.

suchi asked, u and sajid are always very frank on any any shows. Does it affect ur relationship with ur peers?
Farah Khan answers, Yes, sometimes it does. But I guess it's better to be honest than to be fake.

BHAVESH asked, will madhuri dixit come to this show?
Farah Khan answers, I would really like to get her on the show, but not if we have to pay for her air ticket from America.

moh22937 asked, hi farah u should take franchisee of ipl that would be intresting i believe u can make ipl more perfect,so pls look at that side
Farah Khan answers, Especially because I know NOTHING about cricket, except that Dhoni is cute.

pankaja asked, what is the meaning of fara
Farah Khan answers, Pankaja, Farah means happiness.

adi asked, hey farah u look too hot,whats the secret behing ur hot sexy looks
Farah Khan answers, Your failing eyesight.

Dev asked, Mam i feel chat shows always end with undetermined conclusions.why is it so? why cant it give a very clear conclusions? what you feel Mam?
Farah Khan answers, That is why they are chat shows. Everything is not black and white in life.

Santhosh asked, Farahji, we will love to watch Big B sir on the show, any chances please..
Farah Khan answers, Yea, I would love to. I'm a big fan.

Anuj asked, You made fun of Manoj Kumar in OSO. He showed tremendous grace but you and SRK showed complete lack of class. You were mimicking him even during your press conference. That man is a giant. He holds the record for the maximum filmfare award nominations simultaneously, across categories. His films are timeless. Your movies are for the moment. Thirty years later who will watch trash like OSO and Main Hoon Na? 'Upkaar' with its grain hoarders is as relevant today as when it was released. You may be more successful than him today but you're a pygmy as a filmmaker. I lost all my respect for you after the Manoj Kumar episode.
Farah Khan answers, Have you removed the M from before your name?

ash1412 asked, Hi Farah How r u and ur three muskteres
Farah Khan answers, They are growing by the minute and running around all over the house. Thanks for asking.

Riaz asked, A REPLY WILL BE APPRECIATED... Hello Farah I would like to get in touch with u n Shahruk is there a way? can u pls mail me at riazrazzack@gmail.com
Farah Khan answers, Riaz, please, I cannot help you. Stand in the line please.

deepakkalia asked, Hi Farah, I like Main Hoon Na better than Om Shanti Om. That was really a fun to watch.
Farah Khan answers, Hey Deepak. I agree with you.

Jatin asked, Farahji, will you agree to host Sach ka Saamna if Star Plus invites you to do so?
Farah Khan answers, Host I don't mind.

Saad asked, FARAH DIDI HOW U FEEL WHEN SOME ONE CRITICIZE ON UR WORK ? DO YOU ENJOY THIS?
Farah Khan answers, Saad, I don't enjoy it. But I don't mind it either. It's your point of view. My opinion of my work doesn't depend on what you think.

Kaiz asked, Farah....just say hi to me darling....plz
Farah Khan answers, Hi, darling.

Sarv asked, Farahji!!! Are you planning to invite my fav director Maniratnam to your show next season?
Farah Khan answers, Since Mani cannot speak in Hindi, it might be difficult. Ours is a Hindi speaking show.

Jatin asked, Farahji, pls dont invite Lalu for godsake we hv already seen enough of him.
Farah Khan answers, But I was getting him with Himesh [Reshammiya]. Wouldn't that be fun?

big_Idiot asked, Do you like Anu Malik's Sher and Sharies ????
Farah Khan answers, Yea, I love Anu Malik's Sher aur Sharies. They make me make those wonderful expressions.

vikram asked, hi farah wen v can see both bro n sis on same show? sajid n farh hosting same show
Farah Khan answers, Vikram, you know what happened last time we hosted a show. Ashutosh [Gowariker] nearly had a coronary.

Farah asked, Hey Farah.I like some of ur work. But your voice is really terrible. HO HO HO.
Farah Khan answers, I agree. I hate my voice too. But I can't do anything about it.

hardy asked, Farah, How is dear Daizy Irani, no news since long.
Farah Khan answers, She's fine. Do you know her?

Farah Khan says, Okay, everyone, that was fun. But I think the battery is running out now. And I can hear my babies crying. So bye bye.
