00:00Uff, love is difficult.
00:02Okay, let me go to the title.
00:03It's a very interesting title.
00:05Tell me, I mean, you've married the love of your life.
00:08Is love that much more?
00:09And what about you?
00:09Do you think love is much more too?
00:11I just feel that love will be much more if you take it too seriously.
00:14I mean, love is something that just blossoms.
00:20It's not about, it's not about, if you expect too much from love, I think it can get much more.
00:26If you just be and let be, I think it's just beautiful.
00:31I feel love is little much more.
00:33I can say that I'm a little bit of a real life.
00:37I feel it's difficult, so I don't know.
00:40But what about Yoke and Keri?
00:43I think from Keri's point of view, I feel it's not that much more.
00:48But to love Yoke, oh my God.
00:52I wouldn't if I was Keri.
00:54What about Keri?
00:55It's a real life.
00:57Keri's point of view is love.
01:00Life, the world, everything.
01:01Love is everywhere.
01:03And I don't know how to love Yoke's point of view.
01:07Yoke is difficult to love.
01:08But maybe when she knows Yoke's point of view, Yoke has a lot of emotional layer.
01:14And why she's like, why she's like, that's a big reason.
01:18So Keri's point of view is that she'll get more love.
01:21I don't know.
01:22I don't know.
01:22No.
01:23It wouldn't be wrong to call you the superstar of television.
01:27You've given such amazing characters.
01:30It wouldn't be wrong.
01:31And women of all ages spoon over you.
01:33Be it Pura, be it Somil, be it Amiket, R.C.
01:37And R.C. is a film.
01:38You've, I mean, all the characters that you've played.
01:42Will women spoon over Yoke as well?
01:45I'm hopeful.
01:46But I really don't know.
01:47I mean, it's a character that's not run of the mill.
01:50It's something that is, he's a very guarded guy.
01:54Yoke is very cynical about life.
01:56And these are characters that, in the first glance, you won't be really attracted to a character like this.
02:04But that's the beauty of this character that if I can get them to like Yoke, then fingers crossed.
02:11And hopefully they do.
02:12Because it's, it's a, it's a really layered character.
02:15And he's, he's, I feel he's one of the nicest and the loveliest characters I've played till date.
02:23Also, if we talk about Aashi.
02:24Aashi, your work includes amazing shows like,
02:27Yeh Undanuti Baat Hai, Nei Taladin.
02:30Then when we talk about, Yeh Lof Kihe Laat Hai Mushkil.
02:33How different has that, those work has been like from, to this?
02:37So, all of my characters have been very different from each other, luckily.
02:45And this is also very different from my other characters.
02:48In fact, when they ask me, how do you relate to the character, I don't really relate to any of the character.
02:55Carrie is my first character, I personally relate to her.
02:58And she talks, she walks, or whatever she does, I do, like she's very expressive.
03:07And I'm also like that.
03:08If I want to express, I'm very expressive.
03:11Yes.
03:11Yeah.
03:13So, that's it.
03:15Can I ask you a question and you'll be honest about it?
03:18Yes.
03:19See, every time when we see a romantic show, like based on, you know, youth or our age people,
03:26somewhere down the line, it turns down into a very large.
03:30What would you do with this show?
03:30What would you do with this show?
03:31No, it's not.
03:34And for the show, this husband is very dangerous.
03:39So, there is no scope of it going into a zone where it will be a regular daily show because we don't have the characters.
03:46We don't have the promise.
03:48The show doesn't have that promise.
03:49And even if we plan to do that, we will be deviating like from north to south.
03:54And there's no scope to do it.
03:56It's a show that has begun with the characters that are very different from what you generally see on television.
04:02It's a show that showcases two mad families coming together.
04:06So, we've already shown what the characters bring to the show.
04:10And I don't think there is much scope to do anything that is regular.
04:15And we don't do regular.
04:17For sure.
04:18But then there's been an influx of romance on TV, romantic shows.
04:23How is this so different?
04:24And why should people watch it in the first place?
04:26Because there's so much already offered.
04:28A, because it has shudder.
04:31Yeah.
04:31I would say that the story is entirely, I mean, I haven't done a story like this in my life.
04:39I haven't played a guy who's so cynical about life.
04:42He's got his quirks and it's very difficult to break through him because he's so guarded.
04:50So, for me, a show like this that has such varied characters and how everyone's journey influences,
04:58it's all interpersonal, you know.
05:00So, one person's mistake or whatever could have a ripple effect on everyone.
05:07It could be me, it could be Yogi, it could be any of the brothers, Mairi.
05:11And also, it's a show that's not just made for people who want to watch a family drama or a love story.
05:18It's a show that's made for everyone, right?
05:22From the pota poti to the nana nani, dada dadi.
05:25Because it has so many different emotions that are coming through to this show.
05:30In terms of, there is, it's a rom-com.
05:34It's being treated like a slice of life kind of a show.
05:37There is no regular taking.
05:39We've kept, our taking is so different from the other shows.
05:43The characters, they are just in a very natural space, in a very real space.
05:49And we keep it that way because that's the promise we've given with our very first teaser.
05:53So, I think there is too much.
05:55There are too many things that can work in favor of why the audience should watch this show.
06:00And it's been a month.
06:02The audience have, the response that we've gotten from the audience is really encouraging.
06:06And that is why we are here in Delhi, in a place where the show is based.
06:12Because I feel that this show has great potential in future.
06:17But is it scary that, you know, considering that there's so much of content already out there,
06:22be it on, like, how there's an OTT boom and then cinema, everything is so diluted right now.
06:27Does it scare you that TV is kind of like, you know, on the sidelines, people have seen or not.
06:33Does that scare you, both of you?
06:35I think there could be nothing more scarier than choosing to be an actor.
06:40That's the most scariest thing a person can do in his life.
06:43Because it's a profession where you really don't know what's going to happen the next day or the next project or the following year.
06:53You just, everyone, if you're an actor, you try and put your best foot forward and you hope for the best.
06:57So, there is nothing in your control.
06:59All you can do is put in your energy in making a good show, making great content.
07:03And that's what we believe in.
07:04We want to do something that is different, that is entertaining.
07:08And it is different, but yet in a space that is very family-oriented and not going crazy in the name of creating content.
07:19So, I feel that if you have a great story, if you have great content, there will be takers.
07:27No matter what the medium is.
07:28It could be a film, it could be television, it could be YouTube, it could be OTT.
07:34Just believe in yourself and the project.
07:37And then hope for the best.
07:38And that's it.
07:39Ashi, what do you have to say about this fight for the value?
07:43So, definitely, whatever you do, whatever I do, I just have to do my best.
07:49And I can't really predict the future of my show or anything.
07:53If TV is unsafe, so is OTT or film or anything we do as an actor.
08:01No one can predict if this will work or this will not work.
08:05So, people decide.
08:06They choose what they want to see.
08:08And if we work in a good show and if we create a good content, people will watch it.
08:13So, I just wish and I just try to do good work which satisfies me and then it will satisfy my audience is what I feel.
08:23And there is really nothing I can do about if something is not working.
08:27So, I just said that you are the superstar for television, right?
08:34You have done amazing shows.
08:35The characters are obviously…
08:37Rishi Garewar was like everybody's crash come on.
08:40Yeah.
08:40Right.
08:41Yeah.
08:42So, you have been very hyper-selective with work.
08:45You've made films, you've made TV, even OTT you did one.
08:49Why is that?
08:49Because I really believe that I want to be a part of a project in which my character makes a difference.
08:59And if I don't believe in a subject, how will I convince my audiences, my viewers and my fans?
09:05I feel I owe them this because they have stuck by me for so many years.
09:11And I really, while selecting my scripts, I also, in my head, I have this baggage where I feel that I am liable to entertain my audiences and to make sure that, you know, they stay by me.
09:29It's about, when you act over the years, it's about entertaining generations.
09:35Because every three years, every four years, every five years, the generation is changing.
09:40You know, you've got to reach out to them in whatever way possible.
09:43So, for me, I just feel that put your best foot forward.
09:47Make sure that you select the right project.
09:50And there's a huge power in saying no.
09:53You know, it takes a lot.
09:55It's scary at times.
09:57You know, you feel like, oh, shit, why did I say no to this?
10:00How is it going to translate in future?
10:03But it's about conviction.
10:04It's about God.
10:05It's about your fans, your viewers.
10:07Believe in yourself.
10:08There is nothing more purer than your instinct.
10:11You know, when you read a script or when you get a narration, your instinct tells you what's going to happen.
10:17Listen to that.
10:18Everything else follows.
10:19But in terms of films also, you've just been like into, I think.
10:24Yes.
10:24And then with the first film, you created a huge impact.
10:28Yes.
10:28People loved you as RC.
10:30Yes.
10:30Why did you like not do more films?
10:33Because I believe in scripts.
10:35When those kind of scripts didn't come my way, I didn't want to do movies.
10:38I didn't want to do it for the sake of doing it.
10:40A lot of films came my way.
10:41But it's not the subject that I wanted to do.
10:43It's not the roles that I wanted to play.
10:45And I wouldn't do it just for money or just to be in a movie or just to be in an ensemble.
10:50I want to do it because I want to make a difference to the project.
10:53I want to make a difference to the character.
10:55My character should take the story forward.
10:58And it should be something that moves the audiences.
11:01If I think I can't do that in a movie or in OTT, I will not do it.
11:07I will do it in whichever medium, but I do it to entertain my fans.
11:11But then at the same time, when people's audiences' attention span so little,
11:15how would you keep yourself, both of you, relevant if you're not doing constant projects?
11:21I believe in just doing good work when it comes.
11:24In trying to be relevant, you become irrelevant.
11:28And that could be in any field.
11:31You could end up just trying to do stuff that, oh, I need to be seen.
11:36I need to be doing projects with this person, that person.
11:38I don't believe in that.
11:39I believe in my conviction.
11:41I believe in doing work that I like to do at my pace.
11:44And whenever I do it, I know I'm going to try and get the best out of me
11:49and the project from my fans in the US.
11:51What about you, Ashu?
11:52What do you think?
11:53Do you think constant projects should be done for staying relevant?
11:56At this stage, yeah, I do feel that I need to be very much seen
12:01and visible, but at the same time, I don't really feel like doing anything for the sake
12:06of just doing it.
12:08So I use my Instagram to do that, basically.
12:12I genuinely do that.
12:13So if I'm not doing any project, I just get very active on Instagram
12:18so that people can see me or I can interact with the people I was not able to before.
12:24And that's how I feel I can be relevant.
12:26And even if I can't be, I don't know, maybe after a few months, I'll do a project
12:31which will make me relevant again.
12:34So I don't take much stress about it.
12:38All right.
12:38There's no truth to it.
12:39But then Kyuki Saad, Gabi Gauti is coming back and you played Aniket.
12:43How do you feel about the whole show coming back?
12:45Do you think that it will run now considering that it's just, again, so much?
12:48It's been a milestone, a landmark show.
12:51And obviously when we come back, when they come back with Kyuki 2,
12:55it will be something that they'll present in a time that is relevant to now.
13:00So I'm really looking forward and I think the audience is also going to be looking forward
13:04to seeing what this hysteria of Kyuki was.
13:07So I think it's a great...
13:08I'm just hoping for Aniket to come back.
13:10I'm just yug now.
13:12Yeah.
13:13I'm yug.
13:14All right.
13:14I'm almost done with my interview, guys.
13:16Is there anything else you'd like to after this?
13:19It's just, one thing I just want to tell my viewers and the audiences
13:24is, it's a, it's a great show.
13:26It's, uh, Ye Love Hai, Uff Ye Love Hai, Mushkil.
13:29It comes on Sony, sir, 8 o'clock, Monday to Saturday.
13:33It's been a month and the response that we've gotten is really, really encouraging.
13:38And, uh, guys, please watch it.
13:41I'm sure you guys will like it.
13:43And, uh, yeah, if I have it, promise ka guarantee, push it right now.
13:48But it is, it is something that is, uh, uh, for everyone, the entire family to watch.
13:53So, pleased to watch it.
13:54What about you watching, what episode?
13:55Same, ditto.
13:56Like, he, he, he's covered everything.
13:58So, yeah, do watch, Opie, Love Hai, Mushkil On, Sony, sir, 8 p.m.
