00:00I hope so. If you want to see more of me, please comment below.
00:11Actually, there wasn't a long gap. We finished Bandish Bandits' shoot last year.
00:16It ended in June-July. Then there were some patchwork days for the shoot.
00:21But I think it took a year in post-production. So that's why there was a big gap.
00:27I'm working on it. But I don't have any control over the release date.
00:31So hopefully, more projects will come.
00:39Yes and no. Yes, because obviously, mainstream cinema is accessible for everyone.
00:45The theatre culture has been prevalent for a long time.
00:51And OTT has just started in the last 10-15 years.
00:55So I think definitely, yes, for the general public, all the films are more accessible.
01:01But no, because I think no one predicted the success of Bandish Bandits.
01:06I wasn't in season 1. But many actors and Anand sir directors said that
01:11they didn't expect that so many people would like this show so much.
01:16So they were surprised that it was so accessible to everyone. So I'm grateful for that.
01:27I think they go hand in hand pretty well.
01:34I think it's changing slowly. But no, I don't think so.
01:39I think it's a very male-dominated culture.
01:41And the hero-hero-hero has become a ghost for many people.
01:45And I understand that historically, heroes have gotten people to the theatres.
01:50But without a heroine, who will watch a film?
01:53So I think that needs to be given more importance.
01:56Priyanka Chopra has also said that it was the first time when she went to Hollywood
02:00that she got equal pay as compared to her male actors.
02:04So I think it's changing slowly. But I think we have a long way to go.
02:12Yeah, all the time. Trolling happens all the time.
02:16There was a scene in Bandish Bandits where Tamannaah and Soumya talked about trolling.
02:22So I think it definitely happens. But I chose this career. So it's not the worst thing.
02:27The main thing is to keep your mind clear.
02:30It's a good thing to dissociate from the public's opinion.
02:35So I try to do that in my life.
02:42Yeah, I did. And as a songwriter.
02:46Because I wrote this song with Soumya.
02:49And normally when I write a song,
02:52sometimes the lyrics come first and then the composition.
02:56But I always write the song according to my feelings.
03:02But in this, the brief was a little different.
03:05Because Anand sir said that I need a song like this for these scenes.
03:10So we had to kind of reverse engineer the whole song.
03:13So it was a lot of fun to do that.
03:15And then working with Soumya was a lot of fun.
03:17So we did lots of harmonies and lots of things.
03:20Because it was a song for both of us.
03:23So he had a lot of inputs that were very helpful for me as a singer.
03:26He gave me directions a lot of times when I was singing in the studio.
03:29You know, let's try this breathier. Let's try this more powerful.
03:32So I enjoyed the collaboration in this song.
03:41You know, I think AI should do something that human beings don't have to do.
03:49I mean, if AI starts doing things like art, culture,
03:54which is the duty of an artist to express human emotions,
04:01then what will be the fun in life?
04:03Use it to do automated jobs that no one wants to do.
04:06So we can focus on the higher things.
04:08I hope, I can't say anything because I can't see the future.
04:11But I hope it doesn't take over.
04:13Because I think robots will never understand humanity.
04:17And that's where we win.
