00:00Thank you so much. It's my pleasure to be here.
00:05Nikita, what do you think about the reality shows?
00:11I never thought that I would get a platform like this.
00:17I would get a platform on showbiz where everyone comes to drama.
00:21And here I can use strategy to showcase that I am a different contestant.
00:28So, it's been a surreal journey. I am very grateful for the opportunity.
00:35What do you think about cards or contestant?
00:39Definitely contestants.
00:42Because when we bluffed in cards, it's hard to win.
00:47If we don't win, then we won't win.
00:51Or we don't bluff with chips, we don't bluff with words.
00:56So, definitely contestants.
01:08If you don't like poker, do you have any bluff with chips?
01:13Definitely.
01:15I have understood a lot of outsiders.
01:21I don't know who it is.
01:24Because all of them are from showbiz.
01:26And I didn't accept much of it at the beginning.
01:29So, slowly slowly I started winning people's heart.
01:32I started playing a strategy.
01:34You know, I don't feel very harmful.
01:36And everything else.
01:39When people came to perform,
01:41came to get attention of camera,
01:43I came to play games and I came to play strategy.
01:46So, definitely. Yes.
01:48Yes.
01:49Do you have any contestant with your rivalries or friends?
01:55Look, I don't want to give spoilers.
01:58But you will see that in the beginning,
02:00many people are far away from me.
02:02Because someone doesn't understand.
02:04First, people thought it was very dangerous.
02:06The strategy game.
02:07Some people thought it was very dangerous.
02:09Because the strategy game is played in the business world.
02:12And others thought it was irrelevant.
02:15Underestimate her.
02:16It's not a habit of the camera.
02:18We are far more than it is.
02:20Who are they?
02:21So, there are two types of people.
02:23And you will see that some people are made.
02:25Some people are not.
02:26But I have to work with all of them.
02:28You know, I have to work with all of them.
02:31Do you think that women in India,
02:34do you respect more women?
02:37I think that women,
02:41men, poker players,
02:44have more respect.
02:45It is not that.
02:47It is that,
02:48that a woman has made its mark in a male-dominated field.
02:52People are giving more value.
02:55People are respecting more today.
02:58Because in such a time,
03:00like in the 1970s,
03:02women weren't even allowed to have a bank account.
03:05They were dependent on all the males.
03:08Today, women got so much independence,
03:10freedom, power.
03:12And when they come to the male-dominated field,
03:14they prove themselves.
03:16So, people appreciate that.
03:18And this is, I think,
03:20a very good time to be alive in.
03:23Today,
03:37these people,
03:38You know, they play with Tash and Patos, but those who are playing professionally, they are training for the poker game as a mind sport.
03:49It is a mind sport, you know, in the West, ESPN and Sports Channel, they play poker.
03:54Those who play, they know that it's a strategy game.
03:57Gambling is less in long term.
03:59Gambling doesn't mean that there are games of skill, the courts have ruled, Gujarat court, Karnataka court,
04:07they have ruled it as a game of skill.
04:09It is taught in MIT and Harvard, the world's smartest universities, Harvard or MIT.
04:14And in that, poker is taught in a credit course.
04:18So, if it's gambling, then what is it, if it's a chance game?
04:23So, the theory of poker, people learn how to conquer the corporate world by applying the same strategies and theories.
04:34So, I will argue that a restaurant is a lot of gambling or a business is a lot of gambling.
04:39In long term, only 10-15% of businesses are actually making it.
04:4375-80% of businesses are failing.
04:47It is more of a gamble.
04:48So, what is it, or not, is it a different question.
04:53Poker is a strategy game.
04:55And, like we play as professionals, we train as athletes and play as a mind-sport.
05:02Traitors, I will tell you 100% of honesty, it was not scripted.
05:19It was a completely different reality show.
05:22I will tell you, it was different on three counts.
05:27Number one, it's a captive reality.
05:29When we went there, we took our phones.
05:32It was filming for two weeks.
05:34When I was eliminated, when I was eliminated, I couldn't give spoilers.
05:38It was filming for two weeks, two weeks, we took our phones.
05:42And, it's not that at night, we are going back to the hotel room, we can check it at night, but there are no cameras.
05:47They told us for two weeks for two weeks.
05:52And, also, it was absolutely unscripted.
05:56What is going to happen in the show, we had no idea.
05:59Everything was unfolding as it was happening.
06:03Secondly, the other reality shows are very toxic.
06:09There are dramas, people are telling themselves, they are telling themselves, they are killing them.
06:14There was nothing allowed in Traitors.
06:16Traitors is a very hot reality show.
06:19Where, with intelligence and strategy, it was a drama.
06:23It was a good drama.
06:24But, within the rules, it was a drama.
06:26So, it was a very strategy game.
06:29It was to focus on people's minds.
06:33It was a social experiment.
06:35People interact with each other, with pressure.
06:39And, you know, and a social experiment like this show, they have made it.
06:45So, it was completely unscripted.
06:48So, for the first time, I have told you this show, I'm from the first time.
06:56So, I think that was a great advantage.
06:59But, the disadvantage was that I felt very uncomfortable.
07:02Look at the beginning, as I have told you, I am outside of the showbiz, okay, so I think that was a great advantage of me.
07:11But the disadvantage was that I felt uncomfortable, that I didn't accept it.
07:16Like my friends, I think at the beginning, my friendship was Maheep, Lakshmi Ji, Raftar, Sudhanshu.
07:26So, you know, there were groups that they were afraid that they didn't show much friendship with me, that they didn't become an enemy.
07:35Because there were groups formed, like, I don't want to give spoilers.
07:39But there were a lot of people who already have a reality background, like Jasmine and Guayurfi.
07:44So, they didn't accept me much in the beginning.
07:48So, you know, it was very, very interesting, but this is my, I think, the biggest advantage.
07:54Because I was underestimated, and I was outside of the showbiz.
07:57Because there was no one's read, and I was reading all of them.
08:02You have a lot of camera shooting.
08:04Okay.
08:05So, do you have to do more attention from sports?
08:09Actually, I don't have much attention.
08:13You will see the show, you will understand.
08:15I don't have much attention from the camera, but I always rise to the occasion.
08:21I have given an opportunity, so I am enjoying it.
08:25But you will see, my social media is not so active.
08:29Now, you will see the show in the camera.
08:32I am not doing anything with my camera.
08:34People have watched me at the showbiz,
08:36that they are sitting in a corner in the showbiz.
08:38I didn't play the camera in the camera.
08:41I didn't play the game in the showbiz.
08:43I was playing the strategy of the showbiz.
08:45I was listening to our showbiz.
08:46Can you say that every video of the showbiz?
08:55Definitely, bit-real was great.
08:58My friends and actually, there was a scene in the trailer.
09:02I have been crying.
09:04At that time, I was very hurt.
09:06But it was good,
09:08and sometimes...
09:10I was feeling very sad for a bit.
09:12at that time, I was very hurt, but it wasn't for me, it was for a friend, you will see.
09:17Because what happens with me, I don't have to worry about anything,
09:21but somebody I care about with someone, and I feel bad for them.
09:26So, there was a lot of dark shows, there was a lot of emotions,
09:32there was a lot of betrayal, and one thing happened,
09:36and why it hurt so much is because past life, I mean, past experiences in life,
09:41they also come up, that we have a betrayal in the past,
09:46so it feels bad, yes.
09:51Karan, who came in a new shape in this show,
09:56he was very strict, very scary, very, you know,
10:01he was not himself, because he's always so, you know, playful and friendly,
10:05and friendly, and he was very strict, cold,
10:08very steel-cold vibe.
10:10In fact, I have seen in the press conference,
10:13that he was saying that Maheep,
10:15that he was so scared of me,
10:17because I didn't even say hi to Maheep,
10:19and Maheep, they are so good friends,
10:20they know each other from the years,
10:22but they came in a very cold, scary,
10:25and he was a completely different avatar,
10:30he was a completely different avatar,
10:32and all, so he was supposed to be somebody to be feared,
10:35which was a new thing for Karan Jor,
10:36and I definitely enjoyed it.
10:38Because,
10:45I mean,
10:48the game was a challenge,
10:50people, you know,
10:53The people were smiling behind him and the people were silently standing behind him.
11:02Everything, nobody was as it seems.
11:06He can't trust anybody now because he has seen all the games behind the camera.
11:14If you want to know a big boss and reality shows, how do you want to know about it?
11:23The other reality shows, when I got a phone call from Amazon Prime,
11:28that we are looking for a world class strategist,
11:31to play a show, between people who are reality TV stars,
11:36we want to see how a strategist operates,
11:40how they perform in drama.
11:43At that time, I said,
11:45I have spent so many years in building my reputation.
11:50I have worked very hard to be where I am.
11:53I don't want to expose myself to such negativity, toxicity.
11:57People are killing each other.
11:59I don't want that only.
12:02I am from a respectable profession, background.
12:07I take a lot of pride in what I do.
12:09The rest of the world is what I feel like.
12:11But whatever I want to do,
12:15I don't want to take a name,
12:17but whatever it is,
12:19but if I get a guarantee,
12:21that I am not going to be subject to this toxicity,
12:24then drama, yes.
12:25Within the rules of the game, drama, yes.
12:27But I don't want to expose myself to me.
12:30Because I play with my mind,
12:33and I play with my intelligence.
12:34I see my value.
12:35I don't want to play drama.
12:37So I want to tell you.
12:38Hi.
12:39Good morning.
12:40Good morning.
12:41Hi, why here?
12:43I want to talk about this.
12:45That's just a little bit more interesting.
12:47No.
12:48Most likely, no.
12:50Because I like to play intelligent games.
12:52How about doing great games?
12:54Okay.
12:55And lastly,
12:56how could you find other players such as I am 12 or 12?
13:01If there is such an opportunity to share.
13:04I think they were very strong players, they have a lot of respect in the industry, so they know what to say and how to say, they will be scared.
13:21It's a tough question, but I think Karan Kundra, Raftar, Maheeb has so much experience in reality shows, so Maheeb definitely.
13:32Lakshmi is a very good person at heart as well, so these are my picks for the win.
13:40I am really enjoying the cameras and limelight definitely.
13:52Let's see, I don't have any plans yet, but I am definitely open to thinking about it.
13:58I would love to work with Aamir Khan.
14:00Yes, I am really enjoying the cameras and limelight definitely.
14:04Let's see, I don't have any plans yet, but I am definitely open to thinking about it.
14:12I would love to work with Aamir Khan definitely.
14:28Director Anurag Kashyap, he is a little bit off.
14:40What did you say to your fans?
14:42My message to the fans is that, don't be scared of being underestimated.
14:48Underestimated is a quiet power, when you rise above from it, when you fight through it.
14:56The success is so much more sweeter and that the greatest revenge is success.
15:02So if you have to get revenge from people, then you will become successful.
