00:00I feel somebody who has that option like a policeman or a doctor will survive longer.
00:13I think when an actor says I'm feeling burnt out, we understand it in our language, burnout
00:20is because you're not able to break out of everything that's impacted you, you feel like
00:25at least for me, I feel like I'm weighed down by all the emotions I've put myself through
00:30and I don't have an emotion left to give now, I'm zoned out, I'm numb, there's nothing
00:37left, so you have to take a break, you have to come back to zero and then again.
00:42I think it does matter because you have to imagine, you have to actually live that character,
00:48that's why when we do a film, sometimes I have very small feet and I like to wear my
00:53own shoes but they say no, don't wear your shoes, wear costume ke jute because you should
00:57actually wear someone else's shoes and walk in someone else's shoes to be another character
01:03but my mother told me because she's of course acted for a very long time, mujhe yaad hai
01:06jab mene apni pehli film ki thi aur jab khatam ki thi and I said okay, I'm missing the set,
01:11I'm missing the people, I'm missing playing that role, sometimes you fall in love with
01:14your character and you want to live with it for a bit longer and she said yeah but now
01:17you have to detach and you have to move on and once you're able to move on then it is
01:21a very good thing for you as an actor because you have to then recalibrate and then get
01:26into something else and if you're able to do that and if you're able to, action and
01:31cut is when you need to come alive and then you need to conserve your energy.
01:36It's not theatre, you know where you get the luxury of from the start, the play starts
01:39and you can build up and then here everything has to come together, you may do your performance
01:43but maybe there's focus ka problem, maybe there's light ka problem, maybe something
01:47else goes wrong, your co-actor messes up their line, so many things happen.
01:51So it is a bit of choreography, it's a bit of pretense, it's a bit of magic, it's a bit
01:55of you know, it's lots of things coming together.
02:04Comment to forget because there are many, some good, some bad but I remember she told
02:08me once when it comes to the camera, she said imagine the camera is a man that you are interested
02:14in so you flirt with the camera, imagine he's like someone sitting in a restaurant,
02:21so everything that you say, you want him to hear but you're not speaking directly to him
02:26but you want him to register that, you want him to, you want him to think that you're
02:30beautiful, you want it to be aesthetic in some way, you want him to notice you but you
02:35never look at him directly.
02:36So I thought that was an interesting way of establishing a friendship, a flirtation with
02:41the camera.
02:42No, nothing like that, they're just, it's not that kind of family where they say wow,
02:54wow, even though imagine I said Saif and wow in the same way, it's not that kind of family
03:00guys.
03:01Very critical of each other.
03:02Not critical, they're just like we really love each other, outside of work and outside
03:06of the films that we do.
03:08Yeah, so I can't think of anything.
03:24I actually don't know how to cook anything, I was just staring at it and pretending that
03:28I'm doing something, is this salt or sugar, tell me, so I'll put this.
03:33Kunal is the cook in our family.
03:35More than me, Inaya can cook.
03:38She makes great chapatis.
03:45I think I've already shot, abhi tab aur kuch shooting start nahi hoi hai, clearly.
03:50Industry is still working out.
03:52Main ham kaam pe jaaye, yaar ham kuch bhi banaye, I don't know.
03:55But another film that is shot and ready is a Neeraj Pandey produced film, which is also
03:59about a very relevant evil that, not evil really but something that happens to women
04:05which should not happen and we should very strictly oppose it.
04:09So, another film, another topic like that.
04:12We've also completed shooting a film called Bridge, they have a little patchwork left
04:16and then edit and all, that's with Madhavan and Rashi Khanna and myself.
04:20Yeah, I think Indian horror is coming up in a big way.
04:25This is pure horror, it is not any horror comedy or anything else, it is pure horror
04:30and it is talking something about our society also.
04:34So, please do watch the film, let us know how you like it because only if you let us
04:39know and only if you let others know, then this genre can really flourish and you can
04:43tell interesting stories using this genre.
04:45So, I think it's high time, let us know how you like it.
04:48So, I think it's high time, we give Indian horror the respect and dignity that it deserves
04:53and yeah, watch only two of my videos and let us know what you think.
