00:00The people who were scared of their pride

00:02were given to our children in our community.

00:04It's also happened to me.

00:05It happened to me.

00:06It happened to me, to sleep on the road,

00:07to eat food from the dogs.

00:09So, your mother and father didn't keep you in the house.

00:16We brought Klevo, one spray,

00:18and your home has a fresh fresh feed.

00:20Our ask for 75 lakhs for 1.5% equity.

00:25Done.

00:26Until the biggest deal is here.

00:30Ideabaz, Harshaniwar and Rabiwar,

00:32Shamsaadeechhe, Auraad, Gyaarabaji,

00:34Zee TV and Zee Viper.

00:35Brought to you by,

00:36Startup Banking Partner,

00:37IDFC First Bank.

00:38Always you first.

00:47Roles are generally,

00:48what are the types of roles.

00:51And,

00:53where this picture is related.

00:55See,

00:57I am supposed to be

00:59Raza Murad

01:00as a partner.

01:02But,

01:03because

01:04Raza,

01:05Sheth Dhanraj,

01:06he is a lot of money.

01:08And,

01:09I want to say,

01:10this is the thing that always happens

01:11that there are

01:14who are rich in the house.

01:15We always have to say that

01:17that their property,

01:18their property,

01:19their property and property,

01:20will come to their home.

01:22So,

01:23they do this.

01:24They say that my son will marry him by his daughter, so that he will have a chance to marry him.

01:35And where are they successful?

01:39You can see what happens later.

01:43But this is a character that generally is a type of character.

01:49We have done a lot of different types of roles.

01:55But there is also a gap in our shootings.

02:00But that character doesn't come properly to us.

02:05I think as an actor, if one is a versatile actor, he can do all types of roles.

02:17So, I think that's the type of character that we get in the theatre.

02:23That's the satisfaction that we get in the theatre.

02:27But in films, it's difficult to change over from one type of character to another type of character.

02:35It's difficult to change over from another type of character.

02:38Although some TBCLs have also done different types for different roles.

02:45But I don't have a lot of TBCLs. I am doing films.

02:52But if I get a good role in the TBCL, I would like to do it.

02:57Because the future, the TV's future is very bright.

03:03You know.

03:04Today, you can see that every person has a TV in every house.

03:09You have to go to the theatre in the film.

03:13You have to spend so much money.

03:15A hell of a lot of money you have to spend.

03:17But TV is the cheapest possible entertainment.

03:23Because it's in your home. It's in your bedroom. It's in your drawing room. It's everywhere.

03:28So, that's why your popularity or your approach to the audience becomes more.

03:37So, that's why I personally feel that if I get a good role in the TV, in the serials,

03:47it should be a continuous role.

03:50You know, in one episode, you cannot impress anybody.

03:56You have to say something about a new show.

03:59You have done your work in the old show.

04:02So, you have to say something about a new show.

04:05That is also true.

04:07But, you know, it depends on what type of approach you have, character.

04:15Like, I have a different approach.

04:19I always think that if anyone has a small character,

04:25you have to contribute to that character.

04:28That character should become life.

04:31You know?

04:32It should look like a normal character.

04:36But, I don't want to make a larger than life character.

04:40I can't say exactly.

04:50But, I personally think that a different approach is always good.

04:58Good.

04:59There are many films.

05:00There are many Bhojpuri films.

05:01Bhojpuri?

05:02What do you want to say about it?

05:03How good is it?

05:04See, Bhojpuri films are a trend that plays a lot of Bhojpuri films.

05:10And, I personally feel that you must follow a trend that plays a trend.

05:17I have to follow a trend that plays a trend.

05:20I have to do it for 2-3 years.

05:22I have also done Bhojpuri films.

05:23But, I don't believe that I can speak this language.

05:27People think that my name is Mac Mohanel.

05:30It can only be spoken in Bhagredi or Hindi.

05:33In Bhojpuri, people don't know.

05:36They don't think of it.

05:38But, people don't know that I am originally living in Lakhnau.

05:43I have to say that the language is common.

05:53It is common.

05:54The language of servants, school, and some of them had to speak a kind of language.

06:00So, Bhojpuri is not a new language.

06:02I have films in every language.

06:07And, I don't like this.

06:14If I am doing a character, I will do it for the first condition.

06:17So, I have done Hindi films.

06:22Hindi, Sindhi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bagali, Bhojpuri.

06:29Then, I think almost all the languages are different.

06:36And, I have done three Hollywood films.

06:42Mysteries of the Dark Jungle.

06:46The Black Sun.

06:48Which was also internationally released.

06:51The Black Sun.

06:52But, I have never seen my publicity.

06:56I have seen foreign films.

06:57Or, I am a Bollywood actor or a Hollywood actor.

07:00And, all that.

07:01Actually, I don't think there is any such thing as Bollywood.

07:04We should say Indian films.

07:06We work with Indian films.

07:09But, because Hollywood is popular.

07:12People have done Bollywood.

07:15They have done Bollywood.

07:16They have done Bollywood.

07:18They have done Bollywood.

07:19They have done Bollywood.

07:20And, all that.

07:21It is not good for other people.

07:22But, Indian films are popularly known as Bollywood films.

07:27So, in Aashar Bollywood.

07:30There is a movie that is a Bhojpuri film.

07:34I have done Bhojpuri film in the middle.

07:39In real life.

07:43And, I like my characters.

07:45They are titular songs.

07:49There are items music.

07:51We've done a song for all.

07:52A teacher you hear.

07:53It is a good actor.

07:54But, in fact, I have a Man.

07:57But, we gained a different style.

08:00So, of course, there is a panda kind of Adam.

08:03and his name is Misra Ji, Mr. Ji.

08:08So, I think it's good to tell you about these roles.
