00:00Sirudji, first of all, welcome to IONES.
00:03Sirudji, first of all, you should know that in your 20th year career,
00:06your TV industry has its own space.
00:08But you think that you need any recommendations
00:11that you want to be able to support other things on TV?
00:17Absolutely, I think that in 20th year,
00:19how much love will you get, brother?
00:21Look, you're a human.
00:23You're a human.
00:25You're a human mentality.
00:28But I'm very happy.
00:30No regrets at all.
00:31I got a lot of love in 20th year.
00:33Maybe as much as I didn't know, I got a lot of love.
00:37I have a lot of gratitude for everyone.
00:41My makers, directors, producers, my artists, co-artists,
00:47everybody, and my family, friends, my fans, media.
00:52I got a lot of love in 20th year.
00:54I got a lot of love in 20th year journey.
00:56How many ups and downs are you?
00:58It's mind-blowing.
00:59It's superb.
01:00Ups and downs are there.
01:02But I think if it's not ups and downs,
01:04then life becomes a lot worse.
01:07I think if it's failures,
01:11it makes it fun after failures.
01:13It makes it fun after failures.
01:15It makes it fun after failures.
01:17It makes it fun after success.
01:18I think this is a very normal graph of life.
01:21Whether he's an artist or a normal person,
01:23it doesn't matter.
01:24It doesn't matter.
01:25Otherwise life becomes very monotonous.
01:27It becomes boring.
01:28So I think there are also ups and downs in my life.
01:30I tried to learn something from downs.
01:35I tried to learn something from downs.
01:37I tried to learn something from downs.
01:39Life becomes a lot more.
01:41I feel that life is very momentarily.
01:46That means in a moment,
01:47we say that we'll live in a certain moment.
01:51So now I think that life is in every moment.
01:53Now, I'm talking about it.
01:55This is life.
01:57I don't know what the next moment is going to happen.
01:59but this is the moment that we are living and we're enjoying.
02:03Sir,
02:04you improved by chocolate boy's image
02:09how much the world had changed?
02:10Open the transformation
02:19What is the of the way to go make?
02:21How much the president Topper predicates
02:25But in the industry, how much do you get these roles in the industry?
02:28Look, I don't know what the term is in the chocolate boy, but yeah, I tried to do a little mature role in the romantic role.
02:37And I would like to see you in the heroic, mature artists.
02:41Luckily, that's also happened.
02:43And I'm really thankful to my makers, to all my fans, who have loved me every character.
02:49Whether it's romantic, intense, serious, or any artist,
02:55I think I got a lot of love.
02:57And I think it's not easy for any actor.
03:03To do so many variety roles, which I got, I think.
03:06I got the opportunity.
03:08And I'm very lucky.
03:12I think with most of my makers, most of my characters, I'm very lucky.
03:17I got the opportunity to do such characters, which I haven't thought about.
03:21Sir, you've also seen such series on OTT.
03:26Yes.
03:27So, how are your experiences with Vikram Bhatt?
03:30And what do you want to know about the series?
03:32Vikram Bhatt, sir, my experience with Vikram Bhatt, sir, it's great.
03:36I think Vikram, sir, literally, I met him the first time.
03:41So, I've said, sir, it's a very fanboy moment for me.
03:44So, he's very happy.
03:46And I think we've made the filmography of him from the gulam.
03:50The kind of movies he makes.
03:55I think his fate, I think, is the same.
03:57The kind of movies he makes.
04:00So, I think, what he's written in the wrong place is,
04:03which he's written by the whole story of Vikram,
04:05He's written by Kamal.
04:06I think the wrong thing is released,
04:08and the wrong thing is that he's got a lot of love.
04:10And the other two of them are really loving Dev Arya.
04:14very much love. Dev Kapoor and Arya Malhotra, which is a chemistry,
04:18they are very much love. There are a lot of good reactions
04:22and some people are connecting. It's a bit bold,
04:26but it's a very interesting story. Please, those who haven't seen,
04:30please, because season 1 is still trending.
04:34Sir, you have also explored the micro-series concept,
04:38so how did this decision come? Do you think that this shift
04:42is the first micro-series in which I got the opportunity to become.
04:46That's also with Vikram Sir.
04:50In India, suddenly,
04:52there is a new wave of micro-series and vertical-series,
04:56a new trend started. Everyone wants to become it.
05:00I think it's a very futuristic kind of concept.
05:02I think Gen Z,
05:04that's a very interesting concept.
05:06Because what happens in vertical-series,
05:08you are sitting anywhere,
05:10you are traveling or anything. It's on the go.
05:12And I feel like,
05:14if a story is interesting,
05:16then you are connected to it.
05:18So you want to see that
05:20you are connected to the story,
05:22you are connected to it.
05:24So it's a wrong series.
05:26There are 2-2 minutes episodes,
05:28there are some 25-26 episodes.
05:30It's very interesting,
05:32it's out of the box kind of content.
05:34I've tried my first look at Salt and Pepper.
05:36I've tried my first look at Salt and Pepper.
05:38I really like it.
05:39I think it's a very hot look.
05:40So yes, I think,
05:41please go watch it
05:43and tell me how it feels.
05:45Sir, you have made a lean outfit.
05:47Was this a specific role for this?
05:49Or did you challenge it?
05:51No,
05:52it depends on what your character defines.
05:56What does it depend on?
05:57Overall,
05:58you are playing the character,
06:00its physicalities,
06:01its physicalities,
06:02its maker,
06:04its look.
06:05So,
06:06this
06:07that I played the wrong way,
06:11I wanted to lean and fit.
06:13Now,
06:14I finished a web show,
06:16its short.
06:17It's a cop.
06:18I was wearing a uniform.
06:20I had to do a workout
06:22and show some body-body,
06:23biceps,
06:24so,
06:25I had to do a workout.
06:26I had to do a workout.
06:27Now,
06:28I'm shooting something very interesting,
06:29very dark.
06:30I've never played such a play.
06:33It's a different body type.
06:35So,
06:36I think,
06:37it depends on what's your story
06:38and what's your character's requirement.
06:41Sir,
06:42in the television industry,
06:43the competition has increased.
06:44So,
06:45how do you prove yourself
06:46that you're a versatile actor?
06:48Because
06:49every other actor
06:50has to prove it.
06:51I don't need to prove it.
06:53I think,
06:54I think,
06:55I've met my friends
06:56with the love of people.
06:57I think,
06:58that's enough.
06:59So,
07:00I think,
07:01honestly,
07:02I don't like to prove it.
07:03I don't like to prove it.
07:04If you have to prove it,
07:05do it from your work.
07:06Or,
07:07do it.
07:08Sir,
07:09I feel like,
07:10in the TV industry,
07:11stereotyping for actors,
07:12do you feel that you have a specific type of roles?
07:16No,
07:17no.
07:18I think,
07:19if you have seen the filmography,
07:20or the characters,
07:22that you have seen the graph,
07:24anything that you have seen the difference.
07:25Mr.
07:26A,
07:27Ms.
07:28A,
07:29Mr.
07:30Shri Singh,
07:31A,
07:32And,
07:33Shri Singh,
07:34A,
07:35your
07:36The
07:37The
07:38The
07:39The
07:40The
07:41The
07:42The
07:43The
07:44And I am really thankful that I got the opportunity to play with this, which is very different from each other, and there are no similarities.
07:57Sharanji, if you talk about TV shows, you have so much in the industry, but when the shows are being made, they do so much time-span, so what do you think about this?
08:10Look, the first time, shows were going for 2, 3, 4, 5 years, and now the shelf life of TV shows has been reduced.
08:20I don't know what the reason is, I think maybe the attention span has been reduced, there are a lot of variety, there are a lot of options,
08:29so maybe people have less time, people have increased, you know, you can't sit at one place, you want to keep moving around.
08:41Because your engagement is very varied with one thing.
08:47Now you are engaged, suddenly you have seen something else, you are distracted, somewhere else.
08:51So I think that your door is like this, TV is not to be blamed.
08:55If you talk about social media, you are connected to your social media.
09:00Yes.
09:01So you, as an actor, how much are you connected to social media?
09:03And what do you think about your personal life in social media, how do you display the right actors for your personal life?
09:11It's very each to its own, I mean it depends on person to person.
09:15If you want to show your personal life in social media, or display it, or exhibit it, it depends on you.
09:22I don't do that much.
09:24It's my personal life, it's my personal life, it's my personal life.
09:26If I put my personal life in social media, it's not my personal life, it will actually be public.
09:29But yes, sometimes just for fans, I post a lot of stories, so that they know that I normally,
09:42characters, let us know how we lead our life, or how the atmosphere is at home.
09:48I think that's nothing.
09:50I think that it depends on person to person.
09:52Have you ever thought that TV is a next big thing?
09:55You will have a completely different career.
09:58Do you have an OTT or film options for your first time?
10:02No, TV has given me a lot of love.
10:05I think that I am very thankful for TV.
10:07If there is no TV, then you may not be here today.
10:11I think that TV has given me a lot of love, I don't get anywhere.
10:20So TV is my first love.
10:22OTT, definitely, I would like to explore more mediums as an actor.
10:26It's just that reason and nothing.
10:29If I get a chance to do films tomorrow, I will do that too.
10:32If I am an actor, I want to do acting anywhere.
10:35But the content should be interesting.
10:38Do you think about OTT and TV actors especially respect?
10:44Yes, I am.
10:45I think that time is over.
10:47I didn't know the first time.
10:48I didn't know the first time.
10:49But before I didn't get respect to TV actors.
10:52I didn't know the most.
10:53I didn't know the most.
10:54But I think that the audience was reduced.
10:55The lines were blurred.
10:56The window was opened.
10:57It will open a lot of different ways.
10:58Even TV actors have so much respect and so much.
10:59And they should get so much views.
11:00Because I think that TV actors are equally talented, good looking, as compared to any other actor on any other medium.
11:17Shharat Ji, one more thing is that TV actors' personal life or working hours show.
11:27The working hours, people say that it's less than that.
11:34I don't know all this.
11:36I am an actor.
11:37I work for a day.
11:38I work for a day for 11 hours.
11:40I think that is good enough.
11:42I do not work for a day.
11:45I am an actor.
11:48But when we have to do what we will do,
11:5011 hours, 12 hours, I think that is good enough.
11:53I believe that quality is very important.
11:58Not quantity.
11:59I am sure I have to trust in quality.
12:05But if we do 10, 12 hours, we do good work for 10, 12 hours.
12:08We work with our mind and focus.
12:11So it's very good. It will be a very good output.
12:14I think it's happening for many years.
12:17I think we've been doing this for many years.
12:19And now I think we're doing this for many years.
12:21Shriji, one of the things you know,
12:22is that the first TV actors,
12:24like Ronit Roy,
12:27or Ram Kapoor,
12:29when they come in,
12:31they feel their presence.
12:33I mean,
12:34there are actors that have been played.
12:37But when TV actors came,
12:39there was a person who felt that he was a male actor.
12:42But in the past,
12:43there's no talk about TV actors.
12:44So what do you say about us?
12:45Look, it's like,
12:47there's no talk about it.
12:50You have to ask people to ask people.
12:53I mean,
12:55I mean,
12:57there's no talk about it.
12:59There's no talk about it.
13:02There's no talk about it.
13:03You're acting.
13:04You're acting as well.
13:05You're acting as well.
13:07Or you're acting as well.
13:08You're acting as well.
13:09You're acting as well.
13:10You're acting as well.
13:11I mean,
13:12they're not being able to do it.
13:13There's reasons for their personal reasons.
13:15I mean,
13:16you're professional.
13:17I don't know.
13:18To me,
13:19I'm telling you,
13:20I haven't seen some time from the time.
13:21I've been watching TV myself.
13:22I've been doing it for a few years.
13:243-3 years but I am sure that actors will be a lot of work, it's a job and you have to
13:33work hard because if you have a responsibility, I am sure that many times you are saying
13:41that the actors were good and not, many times people will connect with actors or characters
13:52but it depends, I think there are phases, nothing is good. If you are good, people will connect, if you are not good, for whatever reason, people will not connect. Simple.
14:06Last thing, what are your future projects and what messages should you give?
14:09Yes, as many viewers, fans and my SM army, I was scared for some time, because I was too late for my personal life.
14:21As an actor, we are also a normal person, so that is also a normal life.
14:29But yes, now I am back. I have 2-3 projects completed, which I am hoping will be released very soon.
14:35And I will see you, and I will see you very soon. So on that note, thank you so much, have a great day and lots of love.
14:40Sharak Ji, one more time, thank you, Sholei. Sholei has been completed for 50 years, so there are some memories of Sholei? Sholei?
14:48How many people were there?
14:50Just these memories of Sholei.
14:52I don't know.
14:53I don't know.
14:54I don't know.
14:55I don't know.
14:56I don't know.
14:57Which character?
14:58I think...
14:59Ghabbar.
15:00Ghabbar.
15:01I mean...
15:02Ghabbar sir, I think.
15:04Amjad sir, I think.
15:06And I think Jaye Biru, I think, obviously, iconic.
15:09And I think Basanti was also very iconic.
15:12Yes.
15:13I think Kaka, right?
15:15His name is Raheem Kaka.
15:18Raheem Kaka.
15:19What a joke.
15:20Raheem Kaka is my favourite.
