00:00I prefer every man with a beard.
00:02I've seen everyone shake their big booties to it.
00:06No, no, no, no, no, no. Shoes off, shoes off.
00:08Sorry, that was a dramatic no, but...
00:13Can you do the...
00:14Yeah, okay.
00:19Wow. I thought I was coming to a house.
00:22I didn't realize you lived in a community college.
00:24This looks like the liberal arts waiting lobby.
00:27A waiting lobby?
00:28Yeah, it's really quirky.
00:29Okay, there's the door.
00:31Maybe walk us through stuff you have going on here.
00:34This is where I write my music.
00:36Okay. This is where the magic happens.
00:38Just jamming out.
00:39Yeah, this is where the only magic happens.
00:44I think this looks like a Powerpuff Girl gone rogue.
00:46That's like a kid's robe. It's like a...
00:48Like a Dunny toy.
00:50It's like a collector's...
00:52Of course.
00:53Is this you?
00:54No, that's Fiona.
00:55Fiona? Okay.
00:56Nice to meet you.
00:58That's Fiona. Say hi to Fiona, everyone.
01:00I'm not crazy.
01:02Okay, so what's happening here?
01:04A lot of spirituality.
01:05Really good energy.
01:07So our chakras are alive.
01:11I do. I'm actually...
01:13I like them decoratively as well.
01:15I've got to be honest.
01:16So a lot of spirituality
01:18and this beautiful gnome giving the middle finger.
01:21Yeah, you know what?
01:23It's...
01:24I actually find him very spiritual.
01:26He reminds me to say F off
01:28to the things that are bad juju in my life.
01:30The vibes I get overall,
01:32I feel like you throw
01:34an absolute rager of a house party.
01:36Well, I'm sober as they come.
01:38So...
01:39So I'm not like...
01:41Okay, but that could be our mascot.
01:43The gnome.
01:44That could be the party mascot.
01:47Yeah.
01:48No, I do have parties at home.
01:50With my friends.
01:51My close group of friends.
01:53And we do have the best time ever.
01:55Yeah.
01:56So you'll definitely invite me for the next one?
01:58Yeah, sure.
01:59Okay.
02:00So where are the embarrassing photos kept?
02:01This one, if you can zoom in,
02:03is super embarrassing.
02:04That's the whole fam actually.
02:06That is me.
02:07Do you prefer your dad with the beard or without?
02:09Oh, I prefer every man with a beard.
02:11With a beard.
02:12Yeah.
02:13And my dad included.
02:14I mean, if I could grow facial hair,
02:16I would.
02:17That's how much I love beards.
02:18Yeah.
02:19So, do you want coffee?
02:20Tea?
02:21Yes, please.
02:22If you insist, sure.
02:23Which mug do you want?
02:24I'll take the Powerpuff Girls.
02:26Of course you will.
02:28Strong, light?
02:29Medium's fine.
02:31Is that medium?
02:32I don't drink coffee.
02:33Yeah, that works.
02:34Okay.
02:35And milk?
02:36Yeah.
02:37Almond?
02:38Walnut?
02:39Works.
02:40So most people put their Cocoa Puffs on top of their fridge.
02:42You have your awards.
02:44So if I open your fridge and reach for the milk,
02:46would I find a Filmfare award in there?
02:48So I had two other special awards,
02:50which I've placed there.
02:51Okay.
02:52Because, yeah,
02:54because everyone was like,
02:55WTF?
02:56Okay, someone take a shot of the coffee, please.
02:59It literally looks like a storm cloud.
03:01So this is why dairy and coffee go well together.
03:05I'm sorry.
03:06It tastes good, I'm sure.
03:07Yes.
03:10When I was really young,
03:12I realized, kind of,
03:14oh, clearly my parents are a big deal.
03:17But, you know, as a child,
03:18you don't really know what that means.
03:20Right.
03:21All I knew is that I wanted people to know about me
03:24and ask about me.
03:26And what are you going to ask a kid, you know?
03:28But I was like,
03:29I have my own personality
03:31and I have my own dreams.
03:32Like, what the hell?
03:33So you like being apart from the crowd?
03:36I love being apart from the crowd.
03:38I actually strive to do that,
03:39which is the worst thing for an Indian actress to do.
03:43So next, I thought it would be fun
03:45if we do like a quick rapid fire.
03:46Okay.
03:47All right.
03:49Use one word to describe your fashion.
03:51Alternative.
03:52What's the most expensive thing you own?
03:54My ego.
03:55Favorite color?
03:56Black.
03:57One thing you love about yourself the most?
03:59That I can change.
04:00Pav Bhaji or Rice and Sambar?
04:02Rice and Sambar, mate.
04:03What's your credit card number?
04:05I don't remember it.
04:06All right.
04:07What's the best interview you've been on?
04:10Uh...
04:11There's a right answer here.
04:13I guess it's this one.
04:14No, actually...
04:16Cut there.
04:18So, maybe you'd be so kind enough
04:21to play a little something for us?
04:23Oh, really?
04:24Am I supposed to just play or sing and play?
04:28Whatever works for you.
04:30There we go.
04:48That's it.
04:49That was brilliant.
04:50I didn't feel like singing.
04:51That was brilliant.
04:52Yeah.
