00:00How do you feel about it?

00:02How do you feel about it?

00:06How do you feel about it?

00:30Validation is a very important thing for us.

00:34We create something that we work on.

00:38We want to see those people.

00:42And these festivals, specifically Jagran Film Festival,

00:48in many years,

00:50there is an opportunity for artists, directors, creators and actors.

00:58Where the audience, the media,

01:04and all the things, literally they come on the same plate.

01:10And it becomes a unique experience,

01:13where you can interact with everyone.

01:15And you can see a reaction to your work.

01:21Which is very important.

01:23How do you feel about it?

01:25How do you feel about it?

01:27How do you feel about it?

01:29How do you feel about it?

01:40Absolutely, it might be as crazy.

01:42It's the same in the platform.

01:43Because on such platforms, actually, there will be a film that will reach the theatre to the theatre, which will get a bigger audience.

01:53And nowadays, the theatre will be selected on OTT, or you will get a YouTube release.

02:00It can be anything. The thing is that it should reach the audience, it should reach the people.

02:07And these festivals will do that for you. Because whatever art form is, like the film or television,

02:17this art form is a community art form. If we are not coming together, we will not be able to do anything.

02:23.

02:30.

02:41that

02:44yes

02:51he

02:57did we can do this

03:00quite expensive

03:01and

03:02or

03:04because it is expensive

03:06some

03:07things

03:08are

03:09audience

03:09Because they are probably so good that they can reach people

03:15Having said that, I don't think much about this because my mother did a great thing

03:22That on today's date entertainment exists in bottles

03:26The audience decides which bottle is for them

03:30This is an art film that I want to watch on my phone

03:36Or I want to watch some festival tickets

03:39This is the film that I want to enjoy with my family

03:42So entertainment actually is very different

03:46You talk about social media, you talk about influencers

03:51How can you keep them out?

03:53Because they are also entertainers at the end of the day

03:56So entertainment exists in different ways for people

04:02So you can't say that this is just enough, this is just enough

04:06Why is this?

04:07Everything exists and everything has its own audience

04:10So there are some things that we do

04:15How do you think that all the things like haters and your fans

04:23or your fans are all...

04:25So you can see it?

04:27You can see it, at all

04:28For example, like it was the minimum screened

04:31Now, when the OTT is released, people will also see it in that way.

04:38And I think, somewhere else, there is no doubt in today's date.

04:44If you have created something, you have created something,

04:48then it will definitely get you.

04:52Now, it will be your satisfaction or not necessarily.

04:55But, it will definitely get you in your film.

04:58In a place, there will be a place in a green film festival.

05:16Changing trends.

05:18And I would say that,

05:23we are actors.

05:26I mean, everyone will have their opinion.

05:30But, who has asked you to increase your followers?

05:35My image on Instagram is obviously a different way.

05:41And I also like all my followers.

05:44And many times, we have decisions in casting.

05:47But, this will actually not get a tick for a long time.

05:52Eventually, what is specific for the thing,

05:56we need to focus on that thing.

06:01Like, for example, being on social media and being an influencer

06:05with X amount of followers is also a job.

06:08And it's a very separate kind of a job.

06:10If that person is cast,

06:13because of his or her following on Instagram,

06:16would mean that,

06:18would mean that,

06:19for his following,

06:20he will cast it.

06:21But, he will have to do acting.

06:23And the process of acting,

06:25that's what he is going to do.

06:26So, in that,

06:27I mean,

06:28you have to split the difference somewhere.

06:31I'm a little bit of influencing.

06:34I'm a little bit of acting.

06:36And,

06:37I'm the best person for the job.

06:39Get the job, actually.

06:47I like every film.

06:50In fact,

06:51I don't even know.

06:52I'm going to say that,

06:53this film is my favourite.

06:54Their work is very favourite.

06:57Yes.

06:58They worked on Earth

07:00that is,

07:01that is really close to my heart.

07:02That is a film that I revisit many times.

07:04And,

07:05recently,

07:06they worked on Rocky and Rani,

07:07in which I was also.

07:09And,

07:10I had the privilege, actually,

07:11to share screen space with Shabana ji.

07:14What a vibrant person.

07:16And,

07:17what an amazing soul.

07:19Today's date,

07:21imagine,

07:22you know,

07:23she comes on set,

07:24and she's just like a child.

07:25She's really like a child.

07:27So,

07:28I mean,

07:29I'm very lucky,

07:30to have worked with her.

07:31And,

07:32I would like to congratulate her,

07:33that she's,

07:34she's completed 50 years.

07:36But,

07:38here,

07:39here's a start.

07:40Because,

07:41she's just full of so many things.

07:43I really don't mind.

07:44I hope you get into that.

07:46I hope you all get into those two duei
