00:00Maybe the reason could be that now, because of social media, those who are producing their
00:12own content, or are YouTubers, or influencers, or Instagrammers, so I think they are focusing
00:18more on that than going on Ramp.
00:20So those who are not interested, those who are left behind, they come to the fashion
00:25show, I guess, I don't know the reason.
00:28But apart from this, acting, OTT, because that content has increased, and a lot of people
00:35want to act, rather than become models, because obviously, treatment is good, you get paid
00:40more as an actor, so that could be a reason, according to me.
00:45Ageism is not there directly, because I don't crave that I mainly do it with a young hero.
00:58I'm aware of my age, and I'm very happy with who I am.
01:01But yes, there is a pressure on everyone, all women, especially because of social media,
01:08that you have to look a certain way, you have to always look younger than who you are.
01:13You can't look your age, because there are comments like, you're so well-maintained.
01:19So I have a problem with this statement, what do you mean by you're so well-maintained?
01:23I mean, how should you be maintained, or what does it mean to maintain?
01:26You have to look after yourself, right?
01:28And we never say this to a man or a man, we only say it to a woman, why is it like this?
01:35So I think it is a little silly, because I think you should just look after yourself,
01:40and you can pretty much be who you are.
01:43I mean, if I am of a certain age, I cannot be looking 30 years younger anyway.
01:54Yes, the Mrs. category has definitely improved.
01:58Miss category, it is on the path.
02:00Because now we see that even women of a certain age can participate in the Miss category.
02:07But in the Mrs. category, like I have my own pageant, Marvelous Mrs. India.
02:12So in this, we are extremely inclusive.
02:14In this, we have not set an age limit, like in my season 2, 72-year-old Madhu participated.
02:23And she won the subtitle of Diva, because she was like a diva.
02:26She was outstanding.
02:28So we have not set weight criteria or height criteria,
02:34because height is something that is genetic.
02:37If your parents are short, chances are you will be short.
02:40So what do you say, isn't she beautiful?
02:42So who decided this?
02:44So that's why in Marvelous Mrs. India, we have done away with all these criteria,
02:48and we are extremely inclusive.
02:55I think now that definition has changed.
02:58Now I will say that social media is putting pressure on everyone to look a certain way.
03:03Like you see filters, or we constantly show that I went here and ate this food.
03:10This photograph, I ate such good food.
03:12Or I am so happy, I am traveling so much.
03:15They put filters and show that I look so young.
03:19So this pressure is from social media.
03:22The beauty pageant has now taken a turn,
03:25because a lot of beauty pageants, like Miss Universe or Miss World,
03:29have changed, where weight criteria or age criteria have been removed.
03:40I think for lead roles, people will take only what is needed.
03:45So I don't think there is anything like you don't need a season, or you need a fresh face.
03:50If the story demands that there is a fresh love story,
03:56then a fresh face is good, because fresh faces should be launched.
04:00And where a role is required, like for example, Buckingham Murders,
04:04there Kareena Kapoor fitted the role very beautifully.
04:07So she played her age and she played the main protagonist.
04:10So I think casting should be done as it is needed.
04:14And it happens mostly.
04:16Fun Celebrity?
04:19Fun Celebrity?
04:20I think,
04:23Who?
04:24I don't remember what I was asking.
04:28I think Milind was quite funny.
04:30He was in his own trip.
04:31We used to go somewhere for 3-4 days for a show.
04:35So he used to come to the airport always late,
04:37last person to like, oh, I have come.
04:40He didn't have anything else.
04:42He didn't even have a toothbrush.
04:44He didn't even bring clothes.
04:45He used to be very carefree.
04:47So he was a very cheerful person.
04:54Seek a mentor.
04:55I think having a mentor in life, generally, it's very, very important.
