00:21I have taken birth, just for the first entry.

00:31Hi friends, this is Rajpal Yadav, you are watching me on Brute.

00:35Tell me sir, what can I do for you?

00:37Whenever I watch a film, my heart goes crazy.

00:44In 25 years, if I release, unrelease,

00:48and say, I know the serial,

00:52in which Mungerik Bhai Naurangilal is the main lead.

01:00How many roles have you played?

01:04Around 200 films,

01:07in which 10% lead,

01:09around 60% comic,

01:12and some guest appearances,

01:14some are serious.

01:16So I think I'm the happiest man in this world.

01:23I got a chance to do that.

01:25If I get a role like that,

01:27then their mentality is different.

01:31So where I got a chance to do entertainment,

01:34comedy, in many films,

01:37and some meaningful films.

01:40So I think, to do these meaningful films,

01:46I, My Wife, and Bhopal Prayer for Rain,

01:49there are many such films.

01:51Then Ardh, after that, the work is still going on.

01:54So I feel very good,

01:57that I got a chance to be a part of the commercial industry,

02:02and on the other hand,

02:06festival world.

02:20In any service,

02:22in any industry,

02:24in anyone,

02:26first of all, there is ignorance and rejection,

02:29and that gives you energy,

02:31and then you get registered,

02:33and you also get accepted.

02:39Look, I believe,

02:41that you become a seed,

02:43don't think of becoming a tree.

02:46You become a beginner,

02:48the seed that is inside you,

02:50for acting,

02:52and that seed,

02:54the seed sprouts,

02:56and then slowly slowly,

02:58as the tree grows,

03:00so does the artist's life.

03:02I feel that,

03:04if you have entered in art,

03:08if you love art,

03:10if you have an art passion,

03:12and you are taking an entry in this,
