00:22even with their friends does that somewhere bother you oh i don't think so i think the bond that i
00:28share with him is much stronger than anything uh in this world but honestly when we get into a
00:33reality show and as an as a like as a mentor your only goal is to make your contestant win
00:39and uh
00:40and then like at that moment we can do anything to make sure that our contestant wins and uh i
00:46feel
00:47what happens in the moment for the show uh should always be in the should always stay in that moment
00:52and like for the show and uh when the camera cuts i think the bonds that we share of camera
00:59should always be intact like they shouldn't be like distorted or like finished that's that's how
01:05i feel and uh we're hoping for the best we're playing like i hope it stays uh as positive as
01:12we are like uh projecting it right now but uh you never know like what happens in the show but
01:18we
01:18we are hoping for the best since you're the new gen you know that you know that whenever there's a
01:23new
01:23show coming up when it comes to especially roadies there's a whole comparison with the older version
01:28have you seen the older version the og version honestly i haven't seen uh roadies and like like a
01:35complete season i've never watched but back then when ragu and rajiv used to host those auditions
01:41uh then where i actually realized that i'll do anything in life but never roadies but see that's
01:49how life goes and uh circle comes in complete and uh today i'm the gang leader and i used to
01:58think
01:58back then who who's gonna go there now that you're here and you've been doing like a string of reality
02:04shows is some is reality show a thing that you want to carry forward or are you looking for something
02:09else and just reality shows are just coming on your lap honestly um i feel that uh people love my
02:16side of reality shows and whenever i'm in a reality show i i get a massive wave of love from
02:23all the people around and uh i see panda gang being happy and that's that's how i feel uh that's
02:29the
02:29only reason i've been doing these shows lately uh last year when i was offered i i didn't do it
02:36because i don't know i i thought i honestly had this thing back in my mind that i don't want
02:42to
02:42do reality shows but uh from that period of time a lot of people have been constantly texting we want
02:48to see you here we want to see your hair we want to see your hair roadies roadies roadies do
02:52roadies
02:52do roadies like when it came this time i was like no i don't want to do reality shows because
02:58i i don't
02:58want to keep continuing reality shows reality shows one after the other i did traitors that like
03:03even that show i honestly feel i did that for a purpose which i cannot reveal right now but
03:10yeah like i've been uh very strategically uh like we have been choosing all the shows very
03:17strategically but honestly roadies i'm only doing it for my fans nothing else
03:21abhishek i would say that you are like the superstar of the online world thank you and i mean it's
03:28an
03:28undoubted fact you're like the crown king of online content uh but i would want to know your
03:33understanding because i'm not understanding where at this point where you know the content creators
03:39and the actors are mixing up is it because the makers somewhere in all shows trying to you know
03:45uh cash on the the fandom you guys have honestly i don't think there's any difference between
03:51like uh act like right now i think the line that was between actors and influencers has been blurred
04:00like now like no one should consider themselves superior to anyone like everyone is on the same
04:08plate and uh honestly i feel if influencers think that actors are doing anything less that's that's
04:15not the right way to approach it even actors they've been working hard and they've been like
04:20uh doing giving their best honestly it's the type of work that you do which builds your audience
04:27and uh like i've seen a lot of superstars of tv i've seen superstars of online world and there are
04:34superstars in every field it's just that i'll say it again that uh the line of work that you choose
04:39is gonna is gonna build your fandom and it doesn't matter if you're an influencer or an actor it the
04:45choice is yours yeah now that you're a gang leader and roadies is very popular with you know pop culture
04:52references and all of that which one's your favorite honestly i have a favorite that i cannot reveal
04:58right now but if you have seen a tvf parody of ragu rajeef doing an interview
