00:00I can't explain it to you. That bond with Baba...

00:05But I'll be honest with you, Baba didn't teach me acting.

00:19Who is your acting guru?

00:23You know it. Everyone knows it.

00:26But I'll be honest with you, Baba didn't teach me acting.

00:29By the time he started teaching me acting, it was time for him to pass.

00:33But he has always told me that

00:37you can put as much into acting as you can pull from life.

00:41If you don't pull from life, you won't be able to put into acting.

00:45Because you won't be able to put those things into your soul.

00:50So, Baba has taught me a lot of life lessons.

00:56He has taught me to reflect on myself in every moment of my life.

01:06He has taught me to surrender. He has taught me to respect people.

01:10He has taught me how to be a small part of the evolution of this universe.

01:18If you don't treat people with kindness and love,

01:24then neither will I grow, nor will my art grow.

01:28And I haven't died a good death.

01:32When Baba used to get tired of everything,

01:36he used to go to the jungle.

01:39Like Jim Corbett, he was famous for National Park.

01:42One night, there was a big tree here.

01:51We had our dinner, and we were sleepy.

01:54So, we went under the tree and lay down on the grass.

01:58We were joking around.

02:01We were having fun.

02:04For two seconds, we were quiet.

02:07There was a deer. There was a stream in front of us.

02:10There was a river where the animals used to come and drink water.

02:14So, the deer came. We were drinking water.

02:18Suddenly, a tiger attacked the deer.

02:24Suddenly, a tiger attacked the deer.

02:25I mean, just look at it.

02:28I mean, just look at the deer.

02:31The tiger attacked the deer.

02:34Baba Makbool, Paan Singh Tomar,

02:40I mean, just look at them.

02:43I mean, just look at them.

02:47I mean, just look at them.

02:50There's an electrical fence in front of us.

02:52But when you look at the tiger,

02:55the electrical fence doesn't work.

02:58Baba Makbool and I were looking at each other.

03:00And the tiger was dragging it.

03:02It was dragging it in front of us.

03:05Niranjan and I were just looking at it.

03:08I can't explain it to you.

03:11That bond with Baba Makbool.
