00:00First of all, welcome to IMS.
00:03Hi.
00:04First of all, you should know that in the industry,
00:07how is your experience after the first film?
00:11How is your journey?
00:15It's a very good journey.
00:17It's a rollercoaster ride, of course.
00:20And not only in any field,
00:22you face the ups and downs in any field.
00:25Before that, big success.
00:26So, right from the first film till now,
00:30it's been amazing.
00:32And as an actor, I am blessed
00:35that I have played so many artists.
00:37So, it's just a beautiful journey.
00:41You have a film, web series, television,
00:44and TV, TV medium.
00:46So, what difference do you think about TV medium?
00:49And how do you think about TV medium?
00:53See, honestly, as an actor,
00:55you act only in three.
00:58You try to do what you can do best.
01:03It's never going to happen,
01:05that if you're doing a film,
01:06you're going to add more effort.
01:08And if you're doing a serial,
01:09you're going to add less effort.
01:10It's never going to happen.
01:11So, I think the difference is
01:13that the makers know it.
01:14It's in the making.
01:16It's in the dialogues,
01:20It's in the medium.
01:23But for an artist,
01:25it's just their job that they're doing.
01:27As an actor, I always do my job
01:29in the best capacity that I can.
01:31Whether it's a serial, web, or a film.
01:34In the series,
01:35it's in the 708 BHURI.
01:37How do you feel your role?
01:40See, in the 108 BHURI,
01:42I have a nurse manager,
01:45who is a major operator in the army.
01:48And how do I find it?
01:50How do I find it?
01:50I have been working with it in the first time.
01:53So, they were casting for this role.
01:56And I think,
01:57this was the last cast.
02:01and they called me for this particular role and they explained me about it
02:07so eventually this career grows further and throughout the show
02:13and he is a very good character because this show is very different from you
02:18if you will see it, he is completely removed from daily soap
02:21and he is completely removed from daily soap
02:23so this concept has me very excited and I decided to do it
02:28when you talk about the character, you are a nurse
02:32so you are a nurse and you are a nurse
02:36because you are an army based nurse
02:38you are a nurse and you are a nurse
02:48and you are a nurse
02:48and you are a nurse
02:49and you are a nurse
02:49so you are a body language
02:51you are a nurse
02:52so we have to tell you
02:54so we have to tell you
02:55that you must have posture in this way
02:58or your stance
03:00this is the way you are supposed to greet each other
03:02as army officers
03:04that was told us
03:05and when we were doing the nurse
03:08in the hospital
03:10how did the protocols follow us
03:13we also gave us training before the shoot
03:16so everything was taken care of by the makers
03:18and being from sports family
03:23in my family
03:24hockey
03:25my grandpa played in my family
03:28and in my jeans
03:29fitness
03:30so I feel
03:32being a fitness enthusiast
03:34an army stance
03:38a body posture
03:40that was a little easier for me
03:43and being a professional dancer
03:45it was easy for me
03:53yes
03:54yes
03:56yes
03:56yes
03:56yes
03:57yes
03:57yes
03:57yes
03:58yes
03:59see
04:00this show is inspired by 92 BH Shrinagar Hospital
04:06but this is not a shoot
04:08there is not a shoot
04:09there is a shoot in Mumbai
04:10here is a shoot
04:12in the studio
04:12and some parts of it
04:13in Kashmir
04:15so yes
04:16this is inspired by
04:17there is a film
04:19that is fictional
04:20but there is a story
04:22that is inspired by real life
04:23in the hospital
04:24that is inspired by the people
04:25inspired by the people
04:26so there is nothing more real than showing the real experiences of people
04:34and this is shown in the show
04:36how are you
04:40yes
04:40yes
04:42yes
04:43yes
04:43yes
04:43yes
04:44yes
04:45yes
04:45yes
04:46thank you
04:47yes
04:48yes
04:49yes
04:49yes
04:49yes
04:49yes
04:50when we shoot, honestly, our focus is on our work, and the bonding naturally develops
04:58and you don't put a lot of effort for it, and when we have senior actors, they try to
05:04be comfortable with us. Same thing happens on our set, Erica, Kashmir, they bring so
05:14much life to the set that we are all comfortable. And towards the end of the shoot, we
05:20have a group, a family, like our set.
05:25In our entertainment industry, how important the actors have multiple skills?
05:51How important is that you have to be multi-talented?
05:55Because what you do, even you don't know. If you are good in martial arts, you will
06:01go there. If you are good in singing, you will go there. If you are good in singing, you
06:03will go there. If you are good in speaking, you might be good in dancing, you might be good in
06:08there. So you never know exactly what you are working for today.
06:12How many years have you seen in the industry?
06:16What have you seen in the industry?
06:22What have you seen in the industry? The biggest change has come in the industry. The biggest change
06:26was that actors, technicians, they have been able to get more work.
06:31What was it? The first thing was that there was a selected number of actors.
06:35They were very few. The other people were very few.
06:39Now it's been like that because of social media, people have increased visibility.
06:43They have increased their talent. So the makers, they have many options.
06:51Do you think that the actors have their visibility?
06:57Of course, they have to do it.
07:01Like before, there was not so much social media.
07:05We only know actors, actors, actors.
07:10But now it's a time that if your personality is interesting,
07:15then if you don't have acting, then you can call them for a particular job.
07:22This is another thing that if you don't have to do it,
07:26then it's a different thing.
07:27Because you can do it.
07:30But there are many options because of social media.
07:34Do you think that there are some other things that we call them in the industry?
07:41Do you have to do that?
07:42So people always think that there are some very few actors who say that
07:45you have to do it in acting,
07:49you have to do it in the industry,
07:50you have to take a far towards social media ultimately.
07:56So you have to do it in the industry.
08:03See, a very rude term, but it is true that followers can see before you cast, which I think is
08:17not fair, because now many people are still buying in a lot of time.
08:21So if you cast on followers, I think the filmmakers have understood that, it is not being continued anymore, but
08:33yes, as an actor or senior actors, they feel that they have taken their life into acting,
08:42they feel that they have taken their color to this level, and now the influencers or creators are getting their
08:53job.
08:54I think every stage changes in life, in the industry has also come, so as soon as you accept and
09:02update and upgrade, it is better for you,
09:05because if you have experience, then you have only advantage.
09:09So if you will upgrade yourself, then you will do double work, I feel.
09:15So with these things, it is better to waste your other skills.
09:20So if you have any questions, please do you have any questions?
09:27Do you have any questions?
09:30Yes.
09:30Yes.
09:32Yes.
09:32Honestly, even though I have done this job, whether it is Hasina Parker, or Porushpur, or Mia B.V. Murder,
09:41I was so destined to have this job.
09:45I had auditioned and I had it easily found it.
09:48I did not choose.
09:50They chose me.
09:51They chose me, and they chose me.
09:54So I have been very grateful that I have done this job, because they are completely different from the other
09:59side.
10:00So given a choice, yes, I am a bit choosy when it comes to any particular role.
10:08And I have not done many roles, because I feel that it is very bold, or unnecessary, that it is
10:15a boldness.
10:17I don't know for what reason, but whatever the reason is,
10:21so I would recommend those particular roles or shows.
10:23They are alwaysach만 for me.
10:25I have been very happy with that.
10:34This is a question for me.
10:36So, if we have to sign up for the title, I would like to sign up for a couple of
10:37things.
10:37So, as you would like to sign up for the title, I would like to sign up for the title
10:39of yourself.
10:39If you can sign up for one of the legal and legal events, it is very clear that if you
10:40have any legal needs or any legal needs,
10:41and you need to sign up for any legal work, on legal needs, if you have to sign up for
10:42yourself.
10:42So even if that type of law, there is absolutely not always in a legal process.
10:42It is allowed to sign up for the type of law.
10:43Now we open up for many of them.
10:45It is not very special.
10:48It is not only about this to come, because of all of a legal justice there.
10:48In the legal process or other,
10:53who you know, whether you are a family member or a father or a mother or a best friend,
11:00they are giving you a job. I think that's fair.
11:03Which one will give you a job?
11:05If you are doing a job today, and if you get a friend,
11:09then you get excitement, right?
11:12That's why I got a friend.
11:14So the same thing happens when you want to cast your family member.
11:22I think it's fair on their part to give them that chance.
11:26But ultimately, the one who is getting the job,
11:30it becomes the responsibility that they don't get granted that.
11:35You have to work on that.
11:39Because there are so many outside actors who are more talented,
11:43but they don't have the privilege to give them a script.
11:48If you have that privilege, make sure that your talent is enough,
11:53that you can achieve that privilege.
12:00Do you think that you have a role in your career?
12:05There are so many roles.
12:09I mean, if you look at the right point,
12:13I have not made main main lead roles.
12:15I am part of a lot of projects,
12:17and I have done a lot of good characters.
12:19I have done a lot of good characters.
12:21At that time, I have been doing characters,
12:22when I was told that the character is not very important.
12:27If you do a character,
12:28then you will not take anyone in the main lead.
12:31But all I understood was, work will fetch you work.
12:36You will not be able to get a job in the house.
12:38You will have to show you, you will have to do it.
12:41You will have to do it.
12:41I have to do it.
12:41So I have done a career in Haseena Parker or Friday.
12:45I have done a career in the movies.
12:46That I have done a career in those career.
12:49That I have done a career in that career.
13:00I have done a career in that career.
13:01Yes, independent, solo, main lead role,
13:05I think it is a dream of everyone.
13:06It is a dream of every actor.
13:08It is mine too.
13:09And if I have destiny,
13:11and I am sure,
13:12that I am sure,
13:12that I will have to be seen.
13:13But again,
13:15I will have to be seen.
13:16I will have to be out there.
13:17As many people will see me,
13:18my talent will see me,
13:20they will cast me as much.
13:22And the same thing,
13:23if there is no father here,
13:25who will come and say,
13:26son, do it.
13:27It is not.
13:28So what should I do?
13:30What should I do?
13:31Go outside.
13:32You should present yourself.
13:33You should tell yourself.
13:34You should tell yourself.
13:35You should tell yourself.
13:35This is my talent.
13:37So that is it.
13:38That is the best thing that you can do.
13:39Just leave destiny.
13:41New commands and
13:43the character roles.
13:46One thing is that casting couch is happening.
13:50It is happening with you.
13:52It is happening with you.
13:54It is happening with you.
13:54The casting couch is coming to the eye.
14:00The casting couch is coming to the eye.
14:06The casting couch is coming to the eye.
14:17The casting couch is coming to the side.
14:18The casting couch,
14:20the characters in the eye.
14:24Yes, there are friendships, they become good relationships, but I think they become good in every field.
14:31If you go to corporate, if you do a job, then you become a group of friends,
14:35your employees, co-workers and other employees.
14:39The same thing with your directors.
14:41If you work in this field, actors and directors will become your friends.
14:46Friendships are good, but when you get a condition that you do this, you will get a job.
14:53I think you will not get a job at all.
14:55Do you mind and then see, as you do mind, you will get a good job.
15:23See, I think there's a good job.
15:29It is a place where every character is different.
15:34In a particular project, you will get an actor in a particular project.
15:38The color, the color, the color, the color, whatever.
15:42You name it and it is a place for you.
15:44Now, where do you see yourself? It is important.
15:47If I am a little healthy today,
15:49but I want to see you in a place where the requirement is a very sleek body.
15:58It is important for you to think that you can't come.
16:04The audience will not come.
16:06But if you think that you can't come,
16:09then you will work on your body and attitude.
16:15Because I think that the time has been going,
16:18where your face and body was beautiful.
16:23It is not beautiful.
16:24Today, your confidence and talents will not come.
16:29So, somewhere I feel,
16:31unless you want to look a particular way,
16:35if it is not, just be confident in your skin.
16:40There are two actors,
16:42who have recently been in controversy,
16:45such as Moshpuri films,
16:48who have commented on that,
16:50that the actors of Hollywood,
16:51who have plastic surgery,
16:55who have a lot of things,
16:59and that the actress of Moshpuri films,
17:03who have a lot of actors,
17:04who have a lot of actors,
17:04who have a lot of actors.
17:06Okay?
17:09Sorry.
17:10I didn't hear about this.
17:12But if I have said that,
17:14I think,
17:16what are you talking about?
17:17You are talking about body,
17:19you are talking about face,
17:21everything.
17:23It is a personal choice.
17:24If I am young today,
17:27and I want to be pregnant,
17:28so I will work towards it.
17:29Right?
17:29I will go to the gym.
17:30So, I have something wrong.
17:32What?
17:32No.
17:33Similarly,
17:34if you think that,
17:36in your face,
17:37you need an improvement.
17:39It can be good.
17:41It can be good.
17:41It can be good.
17:42And,
17:43if I go to the doctor,
17:45the cosmetologist,
17:47and take advice,
17:49and do the right thing,
17:50and do the right thing,
17:51then,
17:51what is the problem of others?
17:52I don't understand it.
17:55Right?
17:56So,
17:56I think,
17:56it's a personal choice.
17:57It's about,
17:59it's about taking risk.
18:01If someone tells me,
18:02that,
18:02I don't have courage.
18:05Because,
18:06everything is not just about,
18:08limelight.
18:08Everything is not just about glamour.
18:10It's about your life also.
18:11At the end of the day,
18:12I will have to come back.
18:13I will have to face the pain.
18:15Feel the pain,
18:16that I have gone under the knife.
18:17It's not easy.
18:18So,
18:18who takes this decision,
18:20hats off to them.
18:21And,
18:21I think,
18:22you should not comment about,
18:23anyone else doing,
18:24that particular thing,
18:26for themselves.
18:27Maybe,
18:27he gives confidence.
18:28What does he give confidence?
18:31You focus on that.
18:32Rather than,
18:32talking about someone else.
18:34Okay.
18:35Last week,
18:36you should say,
18:37what are the future projects,
18:39and what do you want to give your fans?
18:42See,
18:42future projects,
18:44I will tell you,
18:45after every project,
18:46one actor,
18:49you have to continue,
18:51what do you want to do?
18:53Because,
18:54he has a lot of options,
18:55but,
18:55what do you want to actually do,
18:57is less.
18:58Because,
18:58the same thing,
18:59not everyone gets everything on the platter.
19:01So,
19:03there is also,
19:04there is also a show,
19:05there is already,
19:06there is also a show,
19:06but,
19:07again,
19:07I will have,
19:08once,
19:08once,
19:08I will be final,
19:10then,
19:11we will talk about it.
19:12There is also a very good play,
19:14there is also,
19:15there is also a show,
19:16so,
19:17everything is,
19:18just in the,
19:20primary stage.
19:22And,
19:22above,
19:23108 BH Uri,
19:24it's a very,
19:25amazing show,
19:26it's a very,
19:27amazing show.
