00:00Many similarities. Like I said, I have delved into my own personality a lot to develop Avani's
00:13but then there are a few things that are not similar. Like I know that if someone like
00:18an Aman, if I was 22-23 and someone like an Aman had come into my life, I wouldn't give
00:24it so much thought. I would go ahead, I would dive in head first. I'd be like, yes, okay,
00:29whatever you are, this is great. She's a lot more guarded. She thinks and rethinks and
00:32rethinks and rethinks a lot. So that we didn't kind of, I didn't relate to her on that at
00:36all. But other than that, I think the internal dialogue is very similar. The internal monologue.
00:47I mean, it's also fiction. But having said that, she speaks about how her grandmother's
00:54friend had a rundown flat sitting with cobwebs and there was barely anything in an old building
01:00so that she got for peanuts. She also takes, she walks it to the bookstore, she takes a
01:07taxi every now and then and stuff like that. And yeah, I mean, I didn't really sit down
01:15and do monthly ration and like prices for Avani, for everything. But it's fiction.
01:26I felt like it was a beautiful life. Again, that's where the aspiration comes in, right?
01:31Like I wish I was living in Mumbai in a small flat with a small balcony and 20 plants and
01:37I would go work at a bookstore. You know, that is where it came from. It didn't really
01:40come out of my wish to be a poor orphan. I'm not that smart.
01:46No, no, nothing. Rishank and Aman are not the same. The only thing similar between them
01:55is that they both have brown eyes and dimples, because I have a thing for brown eyes and
01:59dimples. But beyond that, personality wise, nothing.
02:06No, no, I planned everything. So I knew exactly what I had to do so I wouldn't get any surprises.
02:15So nothing real. Thank God. Nothing really. We were just told by a lot of our married
02:23friends that, you know, the bride and groom usually don't get to have so much fun at their
02:27own wedding. They get very tired. So I was expecting that. I didn't expect us to have
02:31so much fun. We had a lot of fun. We have properly partied and eaten a lot of food and
02:37we've gotten our sleep and we've chilled and we've had conversations and everything.
02:42So it was a lot of fun and I was hoping that that would happen and it did.
02:53I think I've always been very clear about how much I want to share. It was never that
02:57I have to do it or not, because I have put myself out there. So I always had proper control
03:03on how much I'm sharing, especially when it came to the privacy of the people in my life.
03:08So that was always clear. So that didn't become too much of a hassle. And tips for couples,
03:15I genuinely think it's different for different people. I also know couples who find a lot
03:20of joy in putting everything out and sharing it with their viewers.
03:27I think it really depends on each couple. It really is what works for you and your partner.
03:39Future projects? This is the first project that's coming out after I've come back to work
03:47after the chhutti for the wedding. So I'm very excited for the audiobook on Audible.
03:52I will be working on one more book. So that starts soon. I'm shooting two shows and I have
03:57a show on Prime Video that should release hopefully sometime soon. I don't know yet
04:02when that is, but it's called Andhera and it's a supernatural thriller. It's very different
04:06from anything I've done and I'm very excited for my first show on Prime Video.
04:19I think there's a lot of impact. And this was inevitable also because the more consumers
04:30you get on the platform, the more reactions you're going to have to everything.
04:34In today's date, India is the biggest digital economy in the world for a reason.
04:39The diversity of online users in our country, the accessible and affordable internet,
04:47I mean, this is going to happen. The more people that come online are going to have
04:53varied opinions and expressions happening. So, yes, it's happening.
04:59But I think it is a rite of passage only, I think.
05:12I also think that this has always been there. Now people just have a platform to express it.
05:17I mean, if you look at it on a very small scale, then there were articles that were being printed
05:27that people used to rage against or there were opinions that were told that people used to...
05:32So, I think that has always been a reaction that has been there around us.
05:35Now people just have a voice and a platform to put it on.
05:44I just want to say thank you, sir. I have the guts today to actually even try newer things
05:52and put myself out there. It's only because of their faith or their unwavering support.
05:59So, I just want to say thank you.
