00:00So, Dhanush bhai, it's been a long time since we saw our host and friend.

00:03Yes.

00:03It's been a long journey.

00:05Yes.

00:06Do you remember anything?

00:07How do you feel?

00:08I remember a lot of things.

00:09I remember everything, actually.

00:10It's not like we shot this 4 years ago.

00:12It's been a few months now.

00:14First of all, I would like to say that it's very difficult.

00:16It's very very difficult to keep so many secrets in your heart for so many months.

00:21Because wherever I used to go, week after week,

00:24all my fans and fans of the show used to come and ask me,

00:27Sir, please tell us, who will win?

00:29Sir, who will get evicted next week?

00:31Sir, what will happen in this DOOM session?

00:32And of course, we can't tell you.

00:34And we shouldn't tell you either.

00:35Otherwise, people won't watch the show.

00:37So, it's been a very interesting journey.

00:39I mean, such a response.

00:41I mean, I had no idea that this would happen.

00:43When we were shooting, of course, it was a lot of fun.

00:45But I thought, okay, finish the work and move on.

00:48But the way it has caught on, the craze, it's a surreal feeling.

00:53Hi, Dhanush sir.

00:55When we are getting the good news of you becoming the father,

00:58how do you feel and what's the excitement level?

01:01Firstly, you are going to be getting the good news very soon.

01:04Towards the end of September.

01:07It's amazing.

01:08It's the most purest, beautiful feeling.

01:11And because Tanya and I had planned this, this is what we both intended.

01:15So, it was not a surprise or a shock.

01:17It was something we consider a great blessing.

01:21We are just really excited.

01:23And everybody, all the people at home.

01:25My parents, all the people who work at home.

01:27Everybody is very, very excited.

01:29We are renovating our house currently.

01:31Getting ready for the baby.

01:32And, yeah, like it's...

01:35There are days when I wake up and pinch myself.

01:38I'm like, I just got married.

01:39I went on honeymoon.

01:40And now the baby is coming.

01:42So, it suddenly seems like everything is happening very fast.

01:44But no complaints at all.

01:45Dhanush, in your next series, you are going to play a cop.

01:49So, how excited are you?

01:50I'm very excited.

01:51I also consider it a great honour.

01:52Because I've never played a police inspector in any of my shows.

01:56You know, especially the khaki worthy kind of police inspector.

01:59And, you know, when I was planning this with my director.

02:02I told him that I won't wear fake moustache.

02:04Either I'll keep a clean shave.

02:05He said, no sir, you look good with a moustache.

02:07So, we grew one specially for the show.

02:09And I think, you know, when you work with amazing actors like KK sir.

02:15You work with Zakir Hussain.

02:16Just some amazing talent on that show, you know.

02:18Automatically, you don't have an option.

02:21You have to elevate your game.

02:22And it feels great to work with our director, Shravan sir.

02:27Because I've worked with him in Kamatipura.

02:29A show I've done with Meera Chopra.

02:31Because he never shoots on set.

02:33He shoots in any real life location.

02:36He shoots on live location.

02:38And because of that, you really feel like.

02:40Like, this time we shot in Mumbai.

02:42We shot more in South Mumbai.

02:44You actually feel like Mumbai is also a character in this show.

02:47And it's amazing.

02:48Very excited.

02:49And yeah, 30th August is coming.

02:50So, please do watch it.

02:52Sir, Tanya madam didn't come.

02:54Kapil, you both are the head.

02:55Why didn't she come?

02:56If she would have come, it would have been great.

02:58I know, I know, I know.

02:59But Tanya needs to rest.

03:01Because she's in her 8th month.

03:03So, we've reduced going out.

03:06And because I'm in Juhu right now.

03:09Where we conduct all these interviews.

03:11And we live in the town.

03:12So, it would be too long a drive.

03:14She feels a little uneasy.

03:16But definitely, you'll be seeing her very, very soon.

03:19So, yeah.

03:20She also really loves coming out.

03:21And interacting with all of you.

03:23And now, she's starting to understand.

03:25You know, left, right, straight.

03:27When you're on the red carpet.

03:29How to give photos and videos.

03:31So, she's also learning slowly, slowly.

03:33It's very different work.

03:34Because she's from Singapore.

03:36So, this doesn't happen there.

03:39The fun that happens in our country, in our city.

03:41It's not like that over there.

03:43But you'll see her soon.

03:44Sir, I just want to ask you.

03:46In the first interview, you asked a lot.

03:48Who do you like?

03:49You didn't tell us that the show was going on.

03:51Yes.

03:52But finally, it was over.

03:53Now, tell us.

03:54Who did you like the best?

03:55Who did you want to win?

03:57See, as a host.

03:59I'll give a diplomatic answer.

04:01Because it's not like Sunny and I ever discussed.

04:03That we want her to win.

04:05Or she should lose.

04:06Of course, there were some contestants.

04:09From the first day.

04:10Like Harsh Prashali.

04:12Shivhit.

04:13Kashish.

04:14Digvijay.

04:16These are some of the guys.

04:18I felt that they have the potential.

04:20That they can go all the way.

04:21Arbaaz, definitely.

04:22He's physically strong.

04:24No, not strong.

04:25He's very strong.

04:26He's mentally strong.

04:27So, I felt that they can go ahead.

04:31Someone like Sachin.

04:32So, I felt that they can go ahead.

04:34But finally.

04:36You have to choose the right partner.

04:39Because you can't win this show alone.

04:41It's a simple thing.

04:42And secondly.

04:43How you perform in physical challenges.

04:46That's also important.

04:47I feel.

04:49A contestant like Shivhit.

04:50If he missed somewhere.

04:52I think that was in this thing.

04:54He couldn't perform in challenges.

04:57So, I feel as a result of that.

04:59He was not able to go all the way.

05:00In the semi-final.

05:02Digvijay finally defeated him.

05:04Whereas, he was in the lead.

05:07I think he was leading 1-0.

05:08So, I think these things are very important.

05:10But.

05:11In 30 contestants.

05:13I took 7-8 names.

05:15I think these were the ones.

05:16Who I thought have the most potential.

05:18Thank you so much.

05:19It was a pleasure talking to you.

05:21Happy New Year.

05:22Thank you so much.

05:23What do you want to say to your fans?

05:24Well, first of all.

05:25I would like to thank you guys.

05:26You know.

05:27Whenever I try to do something new.

05:30You guys support me.

05:32When I came in the web series.

05:34Inside Edge.

05:35You guys really supported me.

05:36Now, I am hosting.

05:38You guys supported me a lot.

05:39And today.

05:40In my career.

05:41In my life.

05:42All the opportunities I am getting.

05:43I am getting it because of your love.

05:45So, please keep the love coming.

05:46And I will definitely promise.

05:48That I will give it my best.

05:49And hopefully entertain you guys.

05:50For many many years to come.

05:51Thank you so much.
