00:00Hi everyone, this is Manjusha Radhakrishnan. I'm the entertainment editor at Gulf News.
00:05We are going to talk all things love with Pakistanis, darlings, I think, Mahiraka and Humayun Sai.
00:11Thank you so much for joining Gulf News.
00:13Firstly, I'm so happy there's a romantic comedy. I'm a sucker for good romantic comedies, I'll be honest.
00:18So am I. I love it. I hope I'm not covering Humayun.
00:21Nobody... Well, no, no, no.
00:23You are the star, honey. You can do anything.
00:25Oh, really? I'm just kidding.
00:27I'm so happy that you guys are coming with a romantic comedy. It's not an easy genre to pull off, is it?
00:32It's not. You're so right. We've been talking about this for a while.
00:36You know, whether it's comedy or it's action or it's drama, you know when it's a romantic drama,
00:45it's still easier and you know you kind of have a pulse on it and you know how it's going to land.
00:52Romantic comedy, you just don't know, especially in this time and age, you know.
00:58That's true. But it's missing.
00:59But nowadays, rom-coms are not even being made.
01:01Not so much.
01:02They're not being made so much. If you've seen it in Pakistan...
01:04People are liking dark content. People are liking Jeffrey Dahmer's of the world, Gone Girl, etc. Darker content.
01:10Yeah, but people are... But by the way, when you have a good romance, it works. I mean, look at Bridgerton. Look at all these shows which are around romance. It works. If it clicks it...
01:22In the cinema, there's no problem in the cinema. In the cinema, yes.
01:26In the cinema, yes.
01:27In the rom-coms came in the 80s. In the 90s.
01:31Julia Roberts, Cameron and Pierre. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah.
01:35My best friends, buddy. Oh, yeah. That's one of my favorites.
01:39What do you guys think of love in general? I feel you both have experienced love in its finest and not so finest form.
01:46From your experience, is love the biggest currency we have today? Oh, yeah. It is. It is. There is nothing in this world. I don't...
01:56I don't believe in any sort of... any sort of fighting violence, this, that. There is anything worth fighting for its love. So, I really, really, truly, genuinely believe that.
02:08How about you?
02:11I feel that love is that you are the one who loves you and are living with it. Yes.
02:18But if you are living with it, you are living with it. And you think that I cannot live without it. If it's gone, it's gone. I think that it's gone.
02:29I think that it's my only love.
02:31It's my love.
02:33Oh, I love it.
02:34It's my love.
02:36What a answer.
02:37It's true.
02:38It's true.
02:39Let's look at it. I think you guys are eternal romantics, both of you. Come on.
02:46Listen, how did you guys actually film a movie together? Was the director having such trouble getting your two kids in order?
02:53Oh, my God. You know, you know, there were times when Nadeem Beg would walk in and he will copy Nadeem. I'm not going to do that, but...
03:00No.
03:01Why?
03:02No.
03:03No.
03:04No.
03:05No.
03:06No.
03:07No.
03:08No.
03:09No.
03:10No.
03:11No.
03:12No.
03:13No.
03:14No.
03:15No.
03:16No.
03:17No.
03:18No.
03:19No.
03:20No.
03:21No.
03:22No.
03:23No.
03:24No.
03:25No.
03:26No.
03:27No.
03:28No.
03:29No.
03:30No.
03:31No.
03:32No.
03:33No.
03:34No.
03:35I friend zoned him.
03:36No.
03:37This is the test.
03:38I'm joking.
03:39No.
03:40No.
03:41No.
03:42No.
03:43No.
03:44No.
03:45No.
03:46No.
03:47No.
03:48No.
03:49No.
03:50No.
03:51No.
03:52No.
03:53No.
03:54No.
03:55No.
03:56No.
03:57No.
03:58No.
04:00No.
04:01No.
04:02Did they walk into the sunset?
04:04One liked him, one didn't.
04:06Oh, who has to unlike him?
04:09Dislike this man.
04:10No, but in all seriousness, where do you think such a film is going to fit in today's terrain in Pakistan?
04:16I'm so happy to see a song shot in Dubai.
04:20It's got a global feel.
04:21It looks like a very glossy romantic drama.
04:25Well, we hope that it fits in right where it's supposed to, you know,
04:30in the sort of, hopefully, see, we can hope for the best,
04:34but I hope it goes down in history as one of those where people came out.
04:38People came out not just once, but they came again and again,
04:43not just to support Pakistani cinema, because like Humayun says,
04:47that's not why we want you to come.
04:49We want you to come because you will have fun, you'll enjoy it,
04:53and hopefully if you enjoy it, you'll keep coming back.
04:55Yes, and I want to say, as much as you like, comedy film or light-hearted film,
05:01it's the most important thing that the audience needs to feel the heart of it.
05:05It's good. It's good.
05:06It's good. It's good.
05:06If you feel the heart of it, then it will come.
05:08Then it will come.
05:09Then it will come.
05:10Then it will be a promotion.
05:11As much as you can do it, there will be no difference from it.
05:13It's true.
05:14If you feel the heart of it, then people will see it.
05:17Between box office glory and critical acclaim, what would you choose?
05:22Don't say a mix of both, but be very honest.
05:25Would you like a blockbuster success or critics loving it?
05:29But box office glory, it didn't go so well.
05:31Okay. He'll choose box office?
05:33Yes, I will. In cinema.
05:34In cinema.
05:36Critical acclaim in dramas.
05:39That's so interesting. Why is that?
05:41Plus.
05:43And who?
05:44Because it's pre-sold, not dramas.
05:45So, we both...
05:47Both of you know the business too well.
05:51What? Me? I know. I've been staying.
05:53Like, I've been just...
05:55Right?
05:55We're here again. There's a lot of money.
05:57She knows it.
05:58But that's actually the thing.
06:00But you said the truth.
06:01You said the truth.
06:02And I also told the truth.
06:03Right, right. Very technical man.
06:05You must make a great Casanova.
06:08Listen.
06:09What are the biggest red flags in a relationship for when you're in love?
06:14Red flags.
06:15You know, when you start...
06:23When you start doubting who you are,
06:28when you...
06:28When you're...
06:30When your self-worth starts getting impacted,
06:34it's a big red flag for me.
06:36And I've been there where...
06:38Sometimes it's not even the fault of the other person.
06:41Or, well, it is, maybe.
06:42But you start feeling like...
06:44You don't have self-worth.
06:48That's very important.
06:49I think that's where you may want to rethink it.
06:53Yes, for sure.
06:54How about you?
06:54What's the red flag?
06:56Disrespect.
06:57Disrespect.
06:58Oh, I like that.
06:58Disrespect is a big red flag.
07:00Have you ever been ghosted before?
07:02You both are so good-looking.
07:03I doubt if anybody will dare to ghost you.
07:06But has it happened?
07:07Somebody didn't pick up your call.
07:09Just went MIA.
07:10I haven't been ghosted.
07:14Mahira Khan has not been ghosted.
07:15What about you, Mahira?
07:17No.
07:17You ghost people?
07:19No.
07:21Listen.
07:21I'm trying to do it.
07:24No.
07:26Really?
07:26Okay.
07:26You have to tell me about love, Mahira.
07:29Yes.
07:29Listen.
07:29Do you think everybody will find love?
07:31In an era where, you know, we're so confused.
07:34We don't even know whether we'll find the next Uber ride.
07:37Let's really find Soulmate, honey.
07:39Come on.
07:39What's this movie penalty?
07:41Listen.
07:42The thing is that, okay, there are, whatever it, do you believe in Kismath?
07:49I do.
07:50Do you?
07:50Yes, do I.
07:51Okay.
07:51So now if you believe in Kismath, which I think everybody believes in mostly, then you
07:57know that someone out there is made for you and somehow the whole universe will align
08:03for you to get him or her to you.
08:06Now if you're the other kind, which you, where you believe that, you know, yeah, destiny,
08:11whatever, but I have to make, make my own destiny, then you go on, like you said, all
08:17of these apps and you go on, like, I'm going to find myself someone.
08:20So either way, I do believe that there are Soulmates.
08:24Yeah.
08:24Romantic.
08:25Oh, I'm a total romantic.
08:27You are.
08:27I'm a total romantic.
08:28Tell me, yes.
08:30Go for it.
08:31Tell me.
08:31I also understand that in the school, there are a lot of love you, or not?
08:37There are a lot of love you, or not, but the decisions that we have made, that a lot of
08:43people have seen and enjoyed, and that's when we love you, and that's when we love you.
08:50Probably that doesn't have to be love you, but you have to meet you, talk about the time,
08:56and then you know it, and if it's okay, then it's your soulmate.
08:59And if it's okay, then it's your soulmate.
09:03If it's not, then it's not.
09:07Okay, one more thing.
09:08I don't think that soulmate is like, necessarily, just a partner.
09:13Hmm.
09:13No, I'm just talking about partner.
09:14I know, I know.
09:15It's right.
09:15I think it's your name.
09:17It's...
09:17But if you're your girlfriend and girlfriend, if you don't get together, get together.
09:21Do not get together.
09:23There are about questions.
09:24Yes.
09:24There are about words.
09:25There are about what they're about.
09:26What is them to treat you?
09:28What do you treat them together?
09:29How happy they are with us, they don't stay, they don't go away, they don't go away, they don't go away, they don't go away, they don't go away, there are a lot of things.
09:38I love it, he is really a love guru. Does he help you with matters of the heart? Nobody helps each other.
09:45He is very understanding, I can explain it.
09:47I am totally understanding, I am a beggar, but I am a beggar, I am a beggar, I am a beggar.
09:58I am intelligent enough to see things and forget all of this.
10:05I believe that when you love yourself, you choose well.
10:11On that very profound note, here is hoping everybody chooses themselves, starts to love themselves and then find love.
10:17Thank you guys for entertaining us over the years, you guys are such a great pair.
10:22I really hope we fall in love with you all over again.
10:25Thank you so much.
