00:00Aishwarya ji, first of all, welcome to IAS.
00:02And talking about your journey from television to movies,
00:06so how has your journey evolved and what are the new challenges you have faced?
00:10I think journey is a never-ending topic for me to talk because my dreams are so big.
00:18But yes, I've been glad that I've been doing a great work.
00:20Even in television, I tried giving different avatars.
00:26I've done three shows so far and all three people have liked them.
00:32And now I really want to change and shift to OTT and film and web series.
00:38As an actor, I have a lot of dreams.
00:40I want to do a lot of various characters that I can do in a better way.
00:46But that opportunity sometimes happens, right?
00:48If you get it with time, it's a good thing.
00:50That's how my life is going.
00:52Your performance in Hissam Barabar was highly appreciated.
00:56What was the most exciting part about working on this film?
00:59I think Monalisa was the only character that I have seen in the entire film
01:04had a different charm and a masala.
01:06And I'm really grateful that I got this opportunity.
01:09Thank you so much, Ashwini ji.
01:11Actually, it was a director's call and a very short notice call.
01:16And he trusted me with Monalisa.
01:19Thanks to Madhavan sir.
01:22Because when you work with such a big actor, there is always a fear.
01:28But he has been like a teacher to me on the set.
01:33And that has helped.
01:35So it is not only somebody who is playing the character, it is a team role.
01:41Talking about Madhavan sir, what was your first experience working with him?
01:47Of course, as an actor, he has a fan following.
01:52I'm one of the fans.
01:53And I'm really glad that I got the opportunity.
01:57But the most important thing when I went in front...
02:02Like the first time when I saw him...
02:04I have started to understand the Viyo that we see in movies now.
02:11There were songs going on in my mind.
02:14All the songs of his film.
02:15Oham dam suni ho rahe raha hai tere dil mein.
02:18Sach kya raha hai.
02:19And I'm like, Rashmi, you have come to work here.
02:21Be serious. Be serious.
02:22I was just looking at him from a distance.
02:24When there is a fan movement, you get a little scared.
02:27I was feeling really good.
02:29But when I started working with him, of course, it was a very beautiful and a different experience.
02:35And there is a layer as an actor that has opened up for me that I can't describe to you.
02:42I can only show you through my work.
02:43Will you shut up?
02:45Yes, please, yes.
02:46Any anecdotes that you want to share with us?
02:54Ki sexte kuch aata hai na, jo kuch aata hai?
02:58Haan, ek scene jo kaat diya hai.
03:00Kyuki aaj ke baad funny gaane nikalte hai na, jo unko lagta hai ki...
03:04Mujhe bolna nahi chahiye.
03:06Lekin kuch funny funny memes jaise gaane.
03:08Toh yeh Mona Lisa ka character bhi waisa hi tha.
03:10Toh ek scene...
03:12Usko lagta tha ki wo badi sundar hai.
03:14Toh uski ek fan following social media pe hoti hai.
03:16Jo baad mein unhone wo scene cut kar diya.
03:18Wo film ka hissa nahi hai.
03:20Toh mujhe bhi wo karte waqt itni hasi aayi.
03:22Maine bola, yaar, main toh dekhti hu, memes like bhi karti hu.
03:26Aaj kal memes ka zamana hai.
03:28You connect and you like.
03:30Aap bhi kabhi kabhi uska hissa ban jaate ho.
03:32Toh main pray kar rahi thi, Bhagwan yeh film mein na rahe ho.
03:34Aur actually nahi rahe ho.
03:36And I'm really grateful about that.
03:38Toh shoot karte waqt mujhe bahut masaaya tha.
03:40Koi toh ganda sa gaana tha.
03:42Jis pe maine dance kiya tha.
03:44Forward laga ke.
03:46And, yeah, I did enjoy it by shooting.
04:02I was very proud that I'm doing a Gujarati film.
04:04Gujarati film actors are also amazing.
04:06I'm a big fan of Prateek Gandhi.
04:08Malhar.
04:10Prateek.
04:12Raunak.
04:14Fabulous actor.
04:18Mujhe apni heroine ho ki bhi naam nahi pata hai.
04:20Except Mansi.
04:22Mai maafi chahti ho agar by chance yeh interview bhojta bhi untak toh.
04:24But they're fabulous concept.
04:26I've seen Chalman Jeeti Laiye.
04:30Phir Hela Ro.
04:32Beautiful, beautiful film.
04:34And I got this opportunity of being mom in Gujarati film.
04:36Was also fabulous.
04:38Because yeh ek bahut intense aur matured concept tha.
04:42And being a mother was a bold decision for me.
04:44And they were very clear.
04:46We wanted a young looking mother.
04:48Toh maine bola yeh main kaise tu.
04:50Unhone, of course, technically you can do a lot of thing.
04:52And that's what we did on the set also.
04:56But the plus point about this kirdaar is
04:58Wo gyaan dene wali maa nahi hai.
05:00Bhaashan dene wali maa nahi thi.
05:02She was there.
05:04Let's take the action.
05:06And how beautifully the film has...
05:08Film ko darshaya gaya hai.
05:10I'm really glad that
05:12Dharmesh Mehta ji ne jo mujhe
05:14film me kirdaar ke liye chuna.
05:16Uske liye I'm grateful to him.
05:20Kyunki aise kirdaar har actor ka dream hota hai.
05:24Yeh flavour.
05:26Maa is also a sensitive concept.
05:28Jab aap shoot karte ho.
05:30Toh aapke emotion automatically jod jate hain.
05:32Lekin aaj kal ke zamane ki jo aurtein hain.
05:34Jo kaam bhi kar rahi hain, ghar bhi dekh rahi hain.
05:36Baccho ko sambhal rahi hain, ghar ko sambhal rahi hain.
05:38Financially bhi independent hain.
05:40Emotionally bhi ab toh independent hone lag gayi hain.
05:42Is zamane mein ek mom tane nahi samjhaye.
05:44Was a very different subject.
05:46Yet at the same time
05:48little sensitive subject.
05:50But jis tarah se film bani hain.
05:52Non Gujaratis are watching and they are loving the film.
05:54Humne Pune mein premiere kiya.
05:58Humne Bangalore mein bhi kiya.
06:00Jharkhand mein bhi kuch 8-10 shows
06:02humare chale hain.
06:04But what a brilliant experience we had.
06:18Seekha hua kabhi fail jaata hi nahi hain.
06:20Woh kahi nahi kahi kaam aata hi hain.
06:22And I am really glad that
06:24main abhi hun toh Gujarati
06:26mein Maharashtran Gujarati bhi bolte hu apne apko.
06:28Kyunki main Marathi.
06:30Main dost yaar Marathi hai.
06:32Maine padhai Gujarati mein kiya hai.
06:34Lekin main bolti Hindi aur English mein hu.
06:36So everything is mixed.
06:38Toh mere liye apne career ki shurvaad bhi
06:40thodi si alag rahi.
06:42Aur aaj jab Mona Lisa ka
06:44kirdaar nibhane ka mauka mila
06:46toh mere liye wo sari yaade
06:48firse aa gayi.
06:50Ke mujhe aise laga ki yaar
06:52let's restart.
06:54I think the new journey has begun.
06:56Many actors travel
06:58for audition from TV to film.
07:00So what do you think?
07:02Nothing is
07:04kuch aasani se milta nahi hai.
07:06Aapko kaam karna hi padta hai.
07:08Aap kitna bhi chaho mahinat toh
07:10har cheez mein lagti hai.
07:12Lekin television ek alag medium hai.
07:14Har hafte aap ek film bana rahe ho.
07:16Aur aapko deliver karna hi hai wo film.
07:18Aapki regular life
07:20jo hai wo sirf
07:22aapki work related zyada hai.
07:24Aur personal mein aapki kam hai.
07:26It's like a service that you're doing.
07:28But it is a fun job that I have.
07:30But when you're doing a film, it is more hard work.
07:32Kyunki aapki trailer aur aapki
07:34film ki shurwaat ke 10-15 minute mein
07:36log pasand na pasand kar dete hai.
07:38Now when you're on the OTT,
07:40it is more challenging.
07:42But yet at the same time,
07:44jab aapki ek kaam ki sarana hoti hai,
07:46logon ko pata hai ki this is the job.
07:48Jaise Aamir Khan sir
07:50kuch hi film samay ke liye kaam karte hai.
07:52But unka kaam hamesha logon ko pasand aaya.
07:54So it all depends on that, I feel.
07:56Any wish to start with?
08:00Main hamesha har interview mein bolte hoon.
08:02Aur main toh abhi bhi bolungi besharm hoke.
08:04Mujhe Intiaz Ali ji ke saath
08:06aur Sanjay Leela Valsari ji ke saath kaam karna hai.
08:08I'm ready to give the audition.
08:10And I hope that I get the opportunity
08:12in this life to work with them.
08:14Wo jis tarah se logon ko
08:16ek...
08:18Not only the entertainment,
08:20but ek life dekhne ka nazariya dete hai.
08:22It's very beautiful.
08:26Do you think Bollywood still
08:28typecasts TV actors?
08:30They do.
08:32It has its own interesting point of view.
08:34But difficulty is
08:36a part of life.
08:38Jab aap achha karte ho,
08:40aapko mehnat karte ho,
08:42toh aapko wo milta hi hai.
08:44Mehnat ka phal peeche kabhi nahi jata.
08:46Yes, challenges aate hain.
08:48They do genreise you.
08:50Television actor, OTT actor,
08:52film actor. But mujhe aise lagta hai,
08:54actor is an actor.
08:56Aur mujhe aise lagta hai,
08:58as an actor, break lena bhi uttana hi
09:00important hota hai.
09:02Do you think OTT platforms are more welcoming
09:04to TV stars than Bollywood?
09:06Sorry.
09:08I beg your pardon.
09:10Do you think OTT platforms are more welcoming
09:12to TV stars than Bollywood?
09:14Now it is becoming. Slowly, slowly,
09:16they are also opening up towards
09:18television actors because
09:20jo
09:22concept web series
09:24ke hote hain, bohot real hote hain.
09:26And television
09:28is all together a different medium.
09:30Wahan sundar, achche kapde, gehne,
09:32uske alawa bhi, of course, acting toh part of your life.
09:34Usme question nahi hai.
09:36But ek alag story chal rahi hoti hai.
09:38That is everyday's work.
09:40But web series is a mixture of
09:42everything.
09:44So I feel, mujhe lagta hai ki
09:46ab kaafi scope hai.
09:48Log pasand bhi karte hain.
09:50But you have to follow the process.
09:52Give the audition. Connect with the right people.
09:54Of course.
09:56You have faced a fair share of up and downs.
09:58How do you feel bittered by the entertainment industry?
10:00Sorry?
10:02You have faced a fair share of
10:04up and downs. Have you ever felt
10:06bittered by the entertainment industry?
10:10Yes, there was a time where I used to
10:12blame other people, other things,
10:14other situations. But then I realised
10:16that if success is yours,
10:18then failure is also yours.
10:20So, don't crib, sit
10:22like a douchebag
10:24and behave like a furniture
10:26inside the house. Might as well
10:28work on it and
10:30take a right action towards it.
10:32Ek chota kai fun segment ke
10:34lete hain. One actor
10:36will be your Dr. Romance on screen.
10:38One actor?
10:40Your Dr. Romance on screen.
10:42If you had to choose between
10:44TV films and OTT,
10:46which one would it be?
10:52A role from Bollywood
10:54you wish you had played.
10:56A role from Bollywood
10:58you wish you had played.
11:00A role from Bollywood
11:02you wish you had played.
11:04I had played.
11:06There are a lot of characters
11:08that I wish to play.
11:10Queen of Kangana.
11:12One of the
11:14Bahus.
11:16Then we have
11:18Madhuri Dixit's role.
11:20And then
11:22Khuda Ka Vaake Shri Devi ji's role.
11:24Now Indira Gandhi ji's
11:26biopic. I have
11:28a lot of... I feel I should have
11:30met her.
11:32One misconception about
11:34Rashmi Vaisa you want to clear.
11:36If you have heard it,
11:38tell me. I will tell you.
11:42If you have heard it,
11:44I might not have paid attention.
11:46Sorry.
11:48I might not have paid attention.
11:50If Hisaab Barabar had a Bollywood remake,
11:52which one would you cast as your co-star?
11:54If Hisaab Barabar was a remake of?
11:56Bollywood film.
11:58Which actor would you
12:00cast as your co-star?
12:02Me?
12:04I can cast a lot of people.
12:06But neither
12:08Sholay nor
12:10we are together.
12:12Whatever is there is perfect.
12:14Do you want to give a message to your fans?
12:16I am just grateful
12:18and I am really happy.
12:20Keep giving love like this.
12:22And your blessings
12:24are very important for me.
12:26I have a question.
12:28It's Valentine's Day.
12:30Is there any room for Rashmi?
12:32If there is someone,
12:34what is Rashmi's life?
12:36I will
12:38binge watch a series at home.
12:40I will sleep, eat,
12:42enjoy and meet my friends.
12:44I will tell my married friends
12:46to meet me on the coming day.
12:48I will meet only my best friends on that day.
12:50They are like me.
12:52They want to enjoy life.
12:54But if at the right time,
12:56I like someone, I will definitely tell you.
12:58Because there is nothing to hide.
13:00Do you have any process?
13:02No.
13:04I am focused on my work.
13:06My family is looking.
13:08If I find someone, I will definitely share.
13:10There is nothing to hide.
