Make way for the new kid on the Bollywood block. Ayesha Takia's kid sister Natasha is all set to make her foray in Hindi cinema.

The 21-year-old girl has not landed any offers yet, but she has certainly started looking out. She talks to A Ganesh Nadar about her career plans.

'I will definitely do glamour roles'

Was this a sudden decision or have you been thinking about acting for a long time?

Since Ayesha was already into films, I had been thinking about this for a long time. But now I have been thinking more seriously and have decided to take the plunge.

What kind of scripts are you looking at?

Actually, I have not looked at any. I am working on myself and improving my skills. I will wait until something nice comes along.

Will you go for glamour roles?

Definitely.

'Acting in different languages is not a problem'

Ayesha maintained a very strict no-kissing and no exposing rule. Will you implement the same?

I am fortunate to learn from her but I am my own individual. It depends on the script. If I like the script, then I will see.

Quite a few Bollywood heroines are acting in Southern language films. Would you sign up too, if you got any interesting offers if you get an offer in South?

Actually I did get an offer for a South Indian film earlier when I was not interested in acting. If I get such an offer and I like the story, I will do a south film. Acting in different languages is not a problem.

'Ayesha was always the baby of the family'

Your mother always accompanies Ayesha on the sets of her shoots. Will she do the same with you?

Ayesha was always the baby of the family. She is used to a lot of pampering. All of us pamper her. She is so sweet. I am hoping that mom will find time to come with me on the sets until I am comfortable.

You are supposed to be very internet savvy. How many hours do you spend on the net?

I used to spend a lot of time on the net earlier. But it's a lot less now. I spend enough time to know what is going on. I have a lot of friends online. In fact, I twitter all day.

'I am interested in singing and know how to play the guitar'

Dancing is so important in Bollywood films. Have you learnt to dance?

I had visited Ayesha's sets recently, and everyone was saying the same thing. I am looking forward to learning dance. I have to find the right teacher and learn different forms.

You were always interested in music. Do you sing or play any instrument?

I am interested in singing. I know how to play the guitar.

What kind of music do you like?

All kinds of electronic music -- classic, rock, hip hop, anything that is fun and danceable. Remixes are fun. They even make old slow songs danceable.
