00:00Welcome to INS.
00:01Thank you so much.
00:02And first of all, I want to know about your overall journey.
00:05How many of you have evolved and how many of you have evolved?
00:10My journey has been about 15 years.
00:13I came to Mumbai in 2012.
00:15After that, Veera was my first show.
00:17I started my journey from there.
00:19Then there were many shows like Mahadev, Uttran.
00:22Then there were many films on TV and films.
00:27Poster Boys was my first film.
00:28There were many films in the bank and Amazon.
00:32And now they are going to release 3-4 films.
00:36As an actor and as a person, I also have evolved a lot.
00:40I also have a lot of understanding.
00:42And I think the journey of learning is never going to be finished.
00:48So now I am learning.
00:52As an actor, you can see who you are ahead.
00:57What do you got to ask me?
01:02How do you go to an interview?
01:04As an actor, I am the President.
01:13Now, I was just going to ask you how to take the show.
01:14I am not just going to ask you two questions.
01:16I will ask you a question, how can you do the show?
01:18I can't answer.
01:19What are you thinking about this project?
01:19I was able to play a very nice character in Anupama.
01:23It was quite convincing and promising.
01:26I thought, yes, there is a value in my personality.
01:32I accepted my personality.
01:34I also liked it.
01:37Anupama's popularity is so massive.
01:39So, every character is a part of the audience.
01:42Yes, yes.
01:43How do you feel about the character's storyline?
01:45How do you feel about individual personality?
01:47How do you feel about the character's storyline?
01:49Look, I have no offer.
01:52Whether it's a film, a character, a TV character.
01:57It's important to me that I can take my own character.
02:03As an actor, I can take my own contribution.
02:07After that, my understanding with the character is very important.
02:12Then, it is very important that I will justice on the screen.
02:16And that people will like it.
02:18So, if you have any character in Anupama's journey,
02:20in your character, you have no idea of this?
02:23So, initially, you didn't expect anything?
02:25do you think?
02:56Do you think that you have to justify it on screen as an actor's responsibility?
03:01Ma'am, you have started the journey with Shikandi with the actor and producer.
03:07What does it feel like when you have to create this story?
03:16I always want to do something new and explore.
03:22I have prepared myself a lot in terms of martial arts, kickboxing, stunts and all that.
03:28So, with acting, I was waiting for something that I could perform the opportunity.
03:36Then, I thought that I could create something.
03:41You know, I had to produce a lot of time.
03:44I had to do something new, something new that people have not seen.
03:49So, Shikandi, I feel like it is a subject that people don't know.
03:54I will tell you a lot about the name.
03:55I would say that a lot of people don't know.
03:58So, you will see many characters in this series.
04:01You will see a lot of characters in this series.
04:02You will see a lot of characters.
04:03You will see a lot of characters.
04:05But Shikandi is a very aware.
04:07We are taking a lot of new things.
04:09I will have to put on a new character.
04:10So, as a performer, I think it might be as a performer and I will be enjoying a new role.
04:34So, number one, Shikhandi's story doesn't know anyone.
04:38His journey, struggles, how it was before him.
04:43After him, he was converted into Shikhandi.
04:45Meaning, he was born.
04:46His second rebirth.
04:48And then, how she became Shikhandi.
04:52So, what was his chemistry between Shikhandi?
04:57You will know that Shikhandi was killed by Shikhandi.
05:00Otherwise, he wouldn't be killed.
05:01So, the way we have seen the story in this play,
05:06there will be a very new awareness for people.
05:09In the role of the actor, you follow the vision of the director.
05:12In the role of the director,
05:14the responsibility of the director has come to your shoulders.
05:16How much was the responsibility of this transition?
05:21The responsibility is a lot.
05:23The actor is also playing Shikhandi, Mamba.
05:28So, you have the body language, the dialogues and everything.
05:32That's my responsibility.
05:33Plus, creatively, yes.
05:36I think that I always have an interest in creative things.
05:40So, that's also a responsibility.
05:42Plus, I'm the producer of the play.
05:44So, that's a mission of the three things.
05:48So, that's something I have done in my mind.
05:51Plus, I'm very glad that my team, my director,
05:55Kulwinder Bakhshish Ji,
05:56then my presenter, Shoki Abhishek Narayan.
05:58They are like my strength.
06:00And we have a team.
06:01And we are working very well and we are doing this.
06:05You have made three mediums of television, theater and films.
06:09So, how has these three experiences changed your acting?
06:13Yes, I have also made a TV.
06:15I am doing theater, I am doing web series,
06:18I also doing films.
06:19So, I have made four mediums.
06:21But I tell you, acting is acting.
06:23There is no difference in editing.
06:23There is no difference in that.
06:26But when we are doing a screen,
06:27we can get many retakes to do.
06:30And when we are doing theater,
06:32we don't have any retakes.
06:33That is one.
06:34In the theater, you have to do a lot of work.
06:36You have to do a lot of work.
06:36You have to do two or three months.
06:37You have to perform a play.
06:40So, that's why I feel like theater is different.
06:44Because you have to present from the whole body
06:48and execute.
06:50And the rest of the screens are closed and compact.
06:56So, I think theater is a little different.
06:58The rest of the theater is one.
07:00You have also worked with Sunny Deol.
07:02So, how do you work with the audience?
07:06How do you work with the audience?
07:07How do you work with the audience?
07:09I worked with Bobby Deol.
07:11Because I worked with his wife.
07:14I played his wife.
07:15So, Sunny Ji is very shy.
07:17They are very shy.
07:18But very very humble.
07:19And Bobby also worked with him.
07:23He never felt like working with him.
07:25So, he was very confident.
07:26And he was very fun.
07:27How do you work with Bobby Deol?
07:34He was very good with me.
07:38He was very classy.
07:39He was very deeply friendly with him.
07:42He was very friendly.
07:43So, all the other characters were very friendly.
07:45Even Shreyaz sir, they were very angry.
07:47I think that the new actors have never felt that they are new in the set.
07:52We have worked with a lot of love.
07:55So overall, the journey is very good.
07:58If you have a small but powerful role in television,
08:04what is your decision on the basis of a character, director, platform and longevity?
08:09See, I have focused on what I've done today,
08:13how much of my character is to perform.
08:16It's not about TV, it's not about film.
08:20It's about who the director is,
08:24what I get to do new things,
08:27how much power is in my role,
08:28and how much I will justice that role.
08:30There are 3-4 things that push an actor to accept or not to accept.
08:36Ma'am, social media presence is important.
08:41What do you think about social media?
08:43Do you want to upload pictures?
08:46How much detail do I follow?
08:49I honestly don't follow me.
08:51I don't have any pressure on social media.
08:54If you look at my page,
08:55or those who follow me,
08:57then all my work is related.
09:00I don't believe that I'm drinking coffee,
09:02so I'm putting on social media.
09:03I'm putting on social media,
09:03I'm putting on pictures.
09:04I don't think that's all my work.
09:08I don't get pressure.
09:09I see there are people,
09:11who don't come to sleep at night,
09:13because they want to post something on social media today.
09:16There are a few people,
09:18they want to create content tomorrow.
09:19I don't get pressure.
09:21When I release a work,
09:23I'm a little active,
09:24because it's an awareness.
09:25Social media has many mistakes,
09:28and many mistakes.
09:28I don't want to make a lot of pressure.
09:31I don't have any pressure.
09:33Celebrity, reality show,
09:35and entertainment.
09:36Do you want to see the audience
09:38as a real personality?
09:40Or do you want to be a curated vision?
09:42What are you doing?
09:43What are you doing?
09:44People want to see the audience
09:46but they don't get to the audience.
09:48They don't get to the audience.
09:50They don't get to the audience.
09:51They are scripted,
09:52so they will show you the real personality.
09:54But sometimes,
09:55you can say that
09:56you will show you the same time,
09:59and you will show you the same time.
10:03You will show your personality.
10:06I can tell you.
10:06I feel like you are more real.
10:07You will stay in life.
10:09So,
10:10it's fun.
10:12We're going to talk about reality show.
10:13Big Boss is going to talk about it.
10:15Big Boss is going to show you the personality.
10:18So,
10:18if you like this,
10:21what will you do?
10:22What will you do next?
10:23What will be the biggest attraction?
10:26What will I do next?
10:28The Big Boss is coming from you.
10:37But I don't think that I'm a big boss fit because I don't have a lot of fights.
10:45I don't have a belief system in Controverses.
10:50I don't know if there will be any content from Big Boss.
10:55But I really believe that there is an app that is skill based.
11:03So I prefer skill based reality shows.
11:06If you are a performer, do you ever fear that the audience will accept the reality show?
11:16No, I really like it.
11:17I feel like the audience has a real personality.
11:19As I said, you connect with the real personality.
11:24When will you show up?
11:26I feel like whenever I get a chance to get a reality show,
11:30which I want to do,
11:31people will connect with me.
11:34People do connect with me.
11:46I feel like I don't want to do that.
11:56I don't want to do that.
12:07I feel like I'm an actor as an actor.
12:12And I can give you a challenge to my capacity.
12:16So I will enjoy it.
12:23I feel like I'm playing a female.
12:34And then, you know, a transgender.
12:36I'm playing a female.
12:43I'm playing a male.
12:44And then, you know, a transgender.
12:47And then, a male.
12:49So these are three different persons.
12:53So, I feel like it's very challenging to me.
12:57The toughest thing.
12:58And also, it's the real.
13:00It's live.
13:01You know, it's live.
13:02And what happens in the live,
13:02that the audience,
13:03just sit and sit and sit,
13:04you get to understand,
13:05you get to love it or not.
13:07And I would say,
13:10theatre is my first love.
13:12I really like theatre.
13:13So, I'm just looking forward.
13:15I've seen a man as a transgender.
13:18But a woman as a transgender.
13:20So, what difficulties do you think about that?
13:23Difficulty is going to be very difficult.
13:25Because when someone plays a male,
13:27if someone plays a male,
13:29then they can win half battles.
13:31But when they play a female,
13:32then they play a top to bottom pair,
13:36and their body language.
13:37So, I have to do a lot of study.
13:39How do I present it?
13:42You know, it's a sensitive topic.
13:44So, people don't feel fake.
13:48And they feel how much we've done it.
13:51So, I think it is not about only transgender.
13:54It is about every character.
13:56Whatever you will justify it.
13:58Whatever you will do,
14:00it will show you.
14:01So, there is something to do with good work.
14:03Finally, if you define the next phase of career,
14:07are you looking at your role?
14:08Or do you want to create your role and stories?
14:10Do you want to create your role?
14:13Look, I would like to say this,
14:15that if I have something very challenging,
14:16something very good,
14:17then definitely I am looking forward.
14:20But yes, I would like to create.
14:22If I have a chance,
14:24and God is with me,
14:25then I would like to create something different.
14:27So, I would like to create something different.
14:30I would like to create something new.
14:33And I would like to create something different.
14:33And I would like to create something different characters.
14:36I would like to see people in different characters.
15:00I would like to do films and webs.
15:02And now I have a good chance.
15:04But I got a good chance,
15:06with which I had done with DKP Production.
15:09And with Anukama.
15:10But honestly,
15:11it is our time starting
15:13and it is our pack up.
15:15So, it is not my journey like this.
15:18I have no difficulty for any kind of difficulty.
15:20There is no difficulty in any way.
15:23And I will not speak for it.
15:24I won't say anything for me and I don't want to talk about anything
15:27just because I have to please people
15:31DKP Production, Anupama, everybody
15:33they are so good with actors
15:35what a respect they give to everybody
15:38so I am so so happy and I am looking forward for their
15:42maybe next project or
15:44yes
15:45I have heard a lot of rumors that
15:49that the Rupali is working on the community
15:52and there are many rumors that you have to do
15:57so how true and true are you?
16:00I have heard some things before going to the beginning
16:02but honestly, there is no conflict with me
16:06there is no conflict with me
16:08they are very welcoming
16:10Anupama's scenes are very low, not much
16:12there is no conflict with me
16:14but whatever happened
16:16there is no conflict with me
16:19and I will tell you
16:20there is a lot of people
16:22sometimes
16:22we blame others
16:25but sometimes
16:27we don't think of ourselves
16:28so I feel like
16:30if someone
16:32in case
16:33if someone doesn't like anything
16:35but you are
16:37you can show yourself
16:39you just don't change
