00:00Why should I look at dirty fields?
00:01I don't want to look at dirty fields.
00:07He was a good guy, I feel, who was trying to, you know,
00:09make a living and try to come up to his parents' expectations.
00:14And all of a sudden, when a girl comes up to his doorstep
00:17and says that, marry me,
00:18I think any guy would see stars at that time.
00:24Imtiaz started just asking me, how am I feeling?
00:27How am I feeling?
00:28So I just had to tell Imtiaz.
00:29Imtiaz, if you don't beat around the bush,
00:31can you tell me why you called me?
00:33What is this whole character about?
00:35Because I think I don't have much time.
00:37I have to leave by two o'clock with my flight.
00:39I don't live here anymore.
00:41So I think, I think that all that statement,
00:45whatever I made,
00:46I think Imtiaz saw an achievement in that.
00:50What's so special about dirty fields?
00:59He laughed at me and I thought,
01:01shit, did I do something wrong?
01:02Then he called his assistant.
01:04And then he says, say it again, say it again.
01:05And then I said it again, then they all laughed.
01:07And they went away.
01:08And I was like, oh God, did I do something wrong?
01:10Why are they laughing?
01:19He realizes when Aditya Kashyap tells him,
01:22that he's not the only one who's laughing at him.
01:24He's not the only one who's laughing at him.
01:26He realizes when Aditya Kashyap tells him,
01:29that nine months she hasn't gone home,
01:31just for you, what are you thinking,
01:33where she would be?
01:34And I guess that's when it hits him.
01:36However hated Anshuman was,
01:39as a Tarun, I feel very blessed to get a character like that.
01:46I started getting character roles,
01:48but all were in the lines of Anshuman.
01:50Actually much, much, much more lesser screen space
01:53with a more, little more demeaning character.
01:57I had a little bit lost hope from Bollywood.
02:09I, now my mind was very sure that I'm going to play very,
02:12I'm going to play negative
02:13and I'm going to play really bad-ass.
02:26South India was basically telling you stories from,
02:29from, you know, from, from the region, from the country.
02:32They were putting the exact amount of masala,
02:34how much Indian people like it,
02:36putting the right drama, action, everything.
02:39It was a package.
02:44Anshuman just came in between
02:45and we judged him for whatever,
02:48well, little bit we know about it.
02:50Should we, should we not?
02:52Should we not?
02:53Should we not?
02:54Should we not?
02:55Should we be happy for what he went through or not?
02:59What was his situation?
03:00So I sometimes dig into that
03:02and I wonder what would have happened to that guy?
03:04You know, would he be happy?
03:06Is he insane?
03:06Did he find his Geet?
03:08Or has he, has he totally forgotten
03:11or he's totally doesn't believe in love anymore?
