00:18Did you also make very wrong choices when it came to men? Because you were always involved with the wrong person.
00:25I saw myself, I saw myself.
00:30I have seen you with Laveen Nishchil and I used to be appalled, I used to tell my friends, what is she doing with this married man?
00:37Because we all knew he was married. He was very charming.
00:40He was very charming.
00:42And all of us thought he was very charming.
00:45You just think, you are 17 years old and you have signed up from opposite Laveen Nishchil.
00:50He was a big star. He was a big star. And he was a ladies man.
00:55Yeah, he had a rolling eye.
00:58Yeah. And you know, when I was doing Intazar, he used to sit behind the camera and watch.
01:03So, what does one do? You know, you are too young actually. It is not love, love.
01:07You just get flattered.
01:09Yeah. I felt, oh, he is such a big star and he is so much in awe of me that he keeps watching me and all that.
01:15So, it was that, nothing else.
01:20No, but it created ripples in his marriage.
01:24No, not really. Not only me.
01:27Okay, he was, yeah, you were not the only one.
01:29Yeah, he was actually, now he is not there, so one shouldn't talk about it.
01:34But he was involved with his friend's wife.
01:36Yeah.
01:37That was the turning point in their marriage.
01:40In their marriage.
01:41I was busy working. I was, you know, where I was working.
01:46That's right. That's right. Yeah.
01:48So, you were not the catalyst.
01:50No, no, not at all.
01:51So, don't blame me.
01:53Okay, I won't. I won't.
01:55I will not blame you for what happened to Sir Naveen Mitchell's marriage, but I will say that you made wrong choices there also.
02:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Because, you know, after that, again you got involved with Prakash Mehta, which was again a married man, no?
02:11Yeah.
02:12With a family, he had two children, two sons, three.
02:15Three children, yeah.
02:17Yeah.
02:18So, you know, one, just thought you made wrong choices there.
02:21But anyway, you know, I'll tell you one thing, I don't regret anything.
02:24No, you shouldn't, because you learn from everything.
02:26Yeah, I don't regret.
02:27You learn from everything.
02:28And that is what I wanted to actually, I was coming to.
02:31Today's Padmini Kapila, what would you say to Padmini Kapila?
02:35I would have been more professional and, you know, I would have...
02:41Would you have got involved, would you tell a girl Padmini Kapila of that time,
02:46that, listen, don't get involved with Prakash Mehta?
02:48Exactly.
02:49You would have told her.
02:50I would have.
02:51Yeah.
02:52Because, you know, what he ultimately said to one of us?
02:56In that day, we were three or four people who wrote.
02:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:59And we were able to meet Prakash Mehta, and we were able to meet Prakash Mehta.
03:02And he was able to say that, wife is a wife, girlfriend is a girlfriend.
03:07Tell me, aapne Salim Khan ka naam lia, that he helped you bring a, to complete that film.
03:15My film, yeah.
03:16Your film.
03:17But you got involved with Salim Khan there, huh?
03:19No, no, no.
03:20I'm not involved.
03:21I can't...
03:22I mean, Salim Khan ko eek din poucha.
03:24Yeah.
03:25Ye ab ki baat nahi, us time ki baat hai.
03:27Khi hum log baut sunte hain aap aur Pamila ke, Padmini Kapila ke baare mein.
03:32So, aapka wala ono na kya javaab dia?
03:35Yeah.
03:36Itni khoobsurat a ladaki ko agar mea response nahi diya, toh I'm an idiot.
03:42So, hon hon hon ehen denai ne kiya.
03:44No, no, no.
03:45He's a dialogue writer, so he says all that.
03:47Hon hon hon ehen denai ne kiya.
03:49And that one time, aapne bhi egdom denai ne kiya tha.
03:52But what is it to deny when there's nothing?
03:55Achah, okay.
03:57No, he always said that to being that, you know, with your looks and all, you could have
04:03really been on the top.
04:04I don't know what went wrong, then it has to be destiny, you know, so I said, yes, then what do we do? If it wasn't luck, it didn't happen.
04:14Here, on the contrary, I don't think Naveen helped your career in any way.
04:21In any way, that's what I'm telling you, right? So I was unlucky.
04:25And even Prakash Mahirav, you may say he was a nice guy and all that, but he didn't have any role in which you became a career.
04:34He also did not give you the best.
04:37I realized that he said somebody, he was discussing with somebody,
04:46and that hurt me a lot. Towards the end, I was very hurt, you know.
04:55You can't talk like that about a girl.
04:57You can't talk like that. And what is it about a girl?
05:00Exactly.
05:01There's a saying that if you have a bird, open the cage.
05:05If the bird goes, it's not yours. And if it comes back, it's yours.
05:10So, I mean, you have that kind of an attitude, and that I got to know much later.
05:17By then, it was too late, Bhakti.
05:20I didn't understand.
05:21Because I know that some of the girls that you mentioned, or I mentioned,
05:25they were very professional in their friendships.
05:29They did not come in the way of their career.
05:32Even that was professional. Everything was professional.
05:35Exactly.
05:36But in your life, Naveen was a distraction.
05:39Yeah, yeah.
05:40Prakash Mehta was a distraction.
05:41Yeah, yeah.
05:42These people have never helped you in your body.
05:44No, no.
05:45No help at all.
05:46Yeah.
