00:00I think as a citizen of our country, I think this is the least I can do, and I am very
00:10fortunate that I am an actor, and I have the power in my industry to make a story, an awareness
00:17reach the common man.
00:20So I think I am just taking that as a responsibility also, and as an actor, I think for me, for
00:25a career, this is a very big step, a height where I got a chance to play such a character,
00:33and this channel, this team trusted me that I will be able to tell such a strong story
00:39alone.
00:40So it was, I am very fortunate to have done this.
00:50I think the story of Manpreet, who is a newly wed girl, who is stuck in a world of drugs,
01:02who doesn't know how to give, who didn't study, who doesn't know anything, she was
01:06just so happy in her life, and where does her story go from, and drugs are such a thing
01:12where once you are stuck, the story doesn't just end with drugs, it takes you to a lot
01:17of things, that's why the name is Chitta Vey, which is white, and in my promo, there
01:22is a line that the drug, the Chitta, the color, the Chitta, is absolutely for its name, and
01:29if you take this drug, or take any drug, then it will take away all the good colors of your
01:35life.
01:36So, it is sensational, you can't make it subtle, it is a very big, very burning, very real,
01:52very everyday, everywhere story, which is going on, in every city, and this is not related
01:58to Punjab, I am definitely playing the role of a Punjabi, but if you talk about the stats
02:05then in UP, it is probably the highest, in Maharashtra, it is at number 2, in Punjab,
02:10it is at number 3, so this, definitely, because there are such shows, such films, where we
02:14think, it is going on in Punjab, it is going on everywhere, it is going on in small cities,
02:20so there is a lot of need for awareness, and to get this out, the society has to be aware,
02:26and normalize it, that these things are happening, for this, don't say, don't say, say, say strongly,
02:33and only then will you be aware, so you watch this show, understand what can happen, and
02:39save those whom you can save.
02:46I think there were such moments in my shoot, where I did very heavy scenes, when I, in my
02:53hotel, because we stayed in Lucknow for almost a month, it was very, I mean, it was draining,
03:00I mean, my eyes were swollen, and I didn't apply much makeup, so it was very like, very
03:07real, the experience was very real, so it was very tough, and when I used to go to the
03:11makeup room, the next day, I used to feel, no, I have to do it better, so it was, yeah,
03:17it was not very easy to perform a role like this.
03:19I think the final shot, that brings Manpreet alive, and if a person has so much, so much,
03:35then what can he do in the end, and what capability does he have, be it a girl or a boy, that
03:41is what Manpreet, I think, does in the end, and that is very powerful.
03:49By going through shit, she goes through craziness, I mean, who doesn't take advantage of this
03:57girl, who, her innocence, which was so powerfully retained, and her husband could have kept
04:03her happy, and he, I mean, if he had just told the truth in the beginning, then he wouldn't
04:08have had to do all this, his entire journey wouldn't have been possible.
04:11So I think, the story that starts with lies, then you reach so many places, so it is literally
04:16as real as it gets, I think.
04:19I think I have always spoken about fighting back.
04:28I stand up for the fact that when something goes wrong, then say it, and fight for your
04:34rights, if I feel that something has gone wrong with me, then I should fight, if I have
04:38done something wrong, then I should sit quietly, it is very simple, so I am a person who vouches
04:43for fighting back, and I am doing that.
04:50100%, I think, you say that in Rock On, Ranbir Kapoor played, that he won't come in himself,
05:02until you go through a breakup, so it actually happens, when you go through so many situations
05:08in your life, then the performance level also comes in a difference, 100%, the maturity
05:12that you have seen in your life, you bring that in the performance, so not that I want
05:17to go through anything for performing better, but whatever I have seen, whatever I have
05:22been through, has I think made me more evolved, as a person, as an actor also.
