00:00First of all, welcome to INS.
00:02Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.
00:04First of all, how do you look at your journey from child actor to being a young adult actor?
00:12I think it was a very fun journey.
00:15The audience also had a lot of love in childhood.
00:18And as a leading actor, I also loved it.
00:23You know, PYARKA PINCHNAMA 2, it was a lot of love for people.
00:29So, it was a little bit of love for me.
00:32And I hope that in the future, I will be able to make a connection again.
00:39PYARKA PINCHNAMA 2, it's been 10 years old.
00:43So, when you look back, Aumkar Kapoor, which version you remember?
00:48The success of the peak?
00:50Is it an actor or the person who was looking back after that success?
00:59I think there are two phases in an actor's life.
01:03I don't think I am a lothah.
01:05He saw a peak success high and then again a low.
01:09You know, this is part and parcel of this profession.
01:13So, obviously, I like to keep good memories.
01:19And if there are bad memories or a low phase,
01:22the person tries to go and forget it.
01:25So, my goal is to keep that.
01:28Obviously, there was a peak success in PUNCHNAMA 2.
01:31After that, I watched it for many years.
01:34And obviously, there is a lot of time.
01:36Some films are ready for me.
01:38Some projects will hopefully start soon.
01:40So, I will get the opportunity again and I will restart again.
01:46I will restart again.
01:47The film's time, your performance has been quite appreciated.
01:49But in that moment, what did you think that this film will be a turning point?
01:53Or was it still clear to the industry?
01:55I think that this profession is a little unpredictable.
02:02Sometimes, if you get successful films,
02:07the future opportunities will not convert.
02:10In my case, I think that the future opportunities will not come to me
02:14or will not create.
02:16But obviously, I would like to know that this phase is a phase.
02:25I think it is a phase.
02:26I will see it in the phase.
02:27I will see it in the phase.
02:28So, it will be a start again.
02:31And I think that people have seen the belief in me,
02:37the talent in me.
02:38People have given me so much love.
02:40And you know, if there is a person who is genuinely working on it,
02:43who is genuinely working on it,
02:44then the audience will connect with them.
02:46Like people have connected with me.
02:48So, there is just a chance of a moment.
02:50There is a chance of an actor's life.
02:52I think, when you get to see it,
02:53it will start again.
02:55These are the biggest actors.
02:57If we see it, Manoj Bajpayeeji,
02:59Nawazuddin Ziddiqi and Irifan Khan.
03:01In their life, they have seen that
03:03some of the success is very late.
03:05There is a long gap.
03:08So, this happens.
03:10I think.
03:11But I hope, as an actor,
03:14I hope that this phase is done quickly.
03:16And I will start a high wave ride.
03:19Of course, he is talking about a comedy.
03:22So, when there is no dialogue,
03:24then, as an actor,
03:26how much more of your expression and body language
03:29do you find your expression?
03:31I think, as an actor,
03:33you are handicapped as an actor.
03:34You are handicapped as an actor.
03:35You are able to execute it.
03:37You know,
03:38and explain the story to the audience.
03:39Just by your body language,
03:40your expression,
03:42your choreography.
03:44So, that was a challenge for me.
03:46And that's why maybe we all need to make that film.
03:49So, that was a challenge for me.
03:51And that's why we all need to make that film.
03:54And it's definitely a challenge.
03:57But we have seen a lot of silent films on Hollywood and Bollywood.
04:03is a different way to create a different way. We have also tried to do that with that film.
04:10Do you think you would like to do comedy with restraint and
04:16more challenging because without the role you have to convey everything?
04:20Definitely, I mean when you have words, you know, things are easy to do. But I
04:30wanted to play a cop like Chulbul Pandey, which was a fan. That character was a fan of
04:38Dabang, a fan of the film. Definitely, as much as the Dabang has become, it is so
04:45scared. So, to play both the characters, it was a little fun. So, I had a lot of fun.
04:54Now let's see if the audience likes it or not.
05:00I don't have a much respect for each other, after the film, it has a really
05:06lack of sense of sense, comfort and maturity right?
05:08I mean, since we have an amazing experience, there was a pleasant
05:12atmosphere, a warm association with people.
05:18Even if we have to do very well. But I think as an actor, we have a mutual respect for
05:24actor has a mutual respect for one another. So, you know, I like their work. So, maybe
05:34that's why they get a comfort zone. Because when two actors understand each other, they
05:41work easy and they start to see the comfort level to the audience. So, it was entertaining
05:49the whole film and the whole atmosphere and the whole thing to do with this film. So,
05:56it's good to be doing this.
05:58As you said, it's very entertaining.
06:03So, you've been working on this film in the 19th century.
06:10So, you've been working on this film in the 19th century.
06:16I think, I think,
06:23I think,
06:26I think,
06:28I think,
06:29I think,
06:31I think,
06:32I think,
06:33I think,
06:34I think,
06:35I think,
06:36I think,
06:38I think,
06:39I think,
06:40I think,
06:41I think,
06:42I was very small at that time, so I was thinking that I was not using any method or process.
06:52I was just a child who was having fun on the set.
06:56And the director who I wanted to tell you, I would do it.
07:00Maybe there was an inherent mischief and naughtiness in my mind.
07:05Maybe he worked and maybe he liked the naughtiness.
07:09So I think, yes, there was no doubt or responsibility.
07:15In fact, all the actors who you named, they were very matured and seasoned actors.
07:22So they learned me a lot.
07:24And I got a chance to learn from them.
07:26I was inspired by them.
07:29When I watch them, I was inspired by them.
07:32Do you have any answers with anyone who you want to share?
07:37Well, there were many actors.
07:39But I remember that when I was shooting for Judai, we were shooting at Mumbai airport at that time.
07:44And I was shooting for the film.
07:46And I was shooting for the film.
07:48And all the actors, Anil sir, Shri Dibi Ma'am, Urmila Ji, all the people of that film were in the film.
07:56And I was shooting at lunch break during the airport.
08:00And I was looking at planes and I was surprised by seeing planes.
08:03So I was searching for an aircraft.
08:04And he was shooting at the plane, so I was shooting at something like this.
08:08In the military airport, I was shooting for 2 hours.
08:09And they just saw that I was looking at places.
08:10Where are they found it?
08:11In the military airport, I was shooting for two hours.
08:13The shooting was stopped there and 2 hours of shooting was stopped there and he was just
08:20looking at that Unkar Kapoor where he is.
08:23I was looking at security and brought me back to the set.
08:28When the shooting was resumed, I was very scared of what I did but I think that my childhood
08:35all of us left me and the shooting was resumed.
08:38Now, when you thought that you had international fan ladders, what kind of love or pressure do you
08:45do you remember?
08:47Love and pressure, I think.
08:52I don't take pressure, but yes, I miss the love of the audience.
09:00I think the fame, success and appreciation that the audience has given me as a child actor,
09:15I think that I would like to thank people and the audience at that time.
09:22Today, many people also know me as a child.
09:26Some of them say that you are a small child, Unkar Kapoor.
09:30So, I think, I am just thankful.
09:35You said that you have approached your directors and directors and producers.
09:39You have not approached your whole life in a different phase.
09:42Do you have a decision from self-respect or do you want to write your journey yourself?
09:47I think that there was no decision?
09:48I think that there was no decision.
09:50It was just that there were many filmmakers who worked with that time, who are not doing
09:57much work today.
09:58They have already retired themselves.
10:01I think that there was a lot of love and love for them.
10:08But if there was a chance, I definitely want to work with them again.
10:13So, there was no decision.
10:17It was a new mindset again.
10:20Because cinema has also changed quite a lot in the past.
10:23When I worked in the early childhood, I was working with the films that were created.
10:27Today, the cinema has changed a lot.
10:29There have been a lot of different stories.
10:31There have been a lot of realistic stories.
10:33And I think that as an actor, I am very different.
10:36So, I would like to make those films that I would like to become a part of the film
10:41where some of the characters can connect me in my life or resonate.
10:49I think that it has a particular reason for that.
10:50It's not a particular reason.
10:51I think that every person has a journey, a destiny, a success.
10:55And it's a huge difference.
10:56And so, there is a lot of the characters that I would like to show.
10:58So, I think that there have been a lot of characters, or whatever.
11:01And I will say, it's a big difference.
11:03You are talking about the characters that are actually being a part of the film.
11:05So, what is that?
11:06And I think that there has been a particular reason for that.
11:08It's not a particular reason. I think that every person has a journey, a destiny, a
11:14destiny. And in your journey, you know, what decisions you can do is shape things. So
11:24I can't say it on someone's behalf. I can only say it on my behalf that I feel that
11:30in my journey there are some good decisions, some wrong decisions. So for that, to blame
11:38or you know, negative thoughts, there is no benefit. So you know, I think that as an actor,
11:48there is also enough ability to see me in one film. So if they get the same
12:00moments or the same moments, then there will be a connection again, that yes, we are
12:05right. He is someone to, you know, look out for. So I don't know the rest of the
12:11actors, I don't know the rest of the child actors. But I can say that in my journey,
12:15this ups and downs, I think, was necessary. Because as much as I learned in my personal
12:22life, professional life, in this low phase, and how strong I am today, it was
12:28necessary.
12:32Your schooling is good, it was a diverse school, Farah Khan and Sanyalila sir, there are
12:52two different schools.
12:54I would like to say that I got a chance to do both schooling, I was learning a lot of things
13:03and I was learning a lot of different things.
13:05So, my filmmaking, cinema and acting practice, I got to learn a lot of things.
13:17The world is a knowledge, as much as you can.
13:21So, when you were like 30 Markhan, what do you think about acting and direction?
13:30Yes.
13:31I think, you know, when I was assisting with directors, I think directors probably knew
13:38that I was preparing to become an actor.
13:40So, that's why I was assisting with film making and film making.
13:49And I think, as an actor, at least, I learned how to assist with directors with a film set,
13:55and I learned a lot of things.
13:56So, my focus is always on acting, but direction is something that, I don't know, I think, I don't know,
14:07I don't know, in the future, maybe I want to definitely do a lot of things.
14:10You know, there are many aspects of filmmaking, which I want to definitely explore, but I think,
14:20as an actor, I think, as an actor, I think, as an actor, I think, as an actor, I think, as an actor,
14:27which I think is in my mind.
14:30So, I don't know.
14:35I think, as an actor, when you're a newcomer, an outsider, you start a scratch, when you have
14:50a mentor, a godfather, or any influence, you don't have to be a mentor.
14:55You don't have to be a newcomer, an outsider, you start a scratch, when you have a mentor,
15:01or any godfather, or any influence, you don't have to be able to break.
15:07So, that process, I think, was necessary for me.
15:12You know, the value of that I am today.
15:18So, I think, the value of the work, you know, when you work a little bit for it,
15:25and I think, you work a little bit for it.
15:27So, I think, the understanding of that, when I came to my journey,
15:33when I started my journey, definitely, it was a little bit difficult.
15:36I had to reset my mental space.
15:39For me, as a child, I was very popular in my childhood.
15:43But my journey, as a linear actor,
15:46I had to start a solo on my own.
15:50And, you know, I am not going to help myself.
15:54I am a mentor myself.
15:56My work will be my work.
15:58So, I think, I think,
16:00an actor has only a job that can become a strength,
16:04I think.
16:06And, you know, I think,
16:08a character that's a very powerful character.
16:11So, do you think that the actors,
16:13a dynamic and real world can become a role?
16:15Definitely, it can be.
16:16I think that they are such a big star today.
16:20So, I think, definitely, I'll work with them.
16:23because there are very few circumstances in our lives, but when it happens, it is so warm and so humble.
16:33So definitely a camaraderie, a friendship.
16:37But if there is a chance to get such a chance, I definitely want to explore it.
16:43When you are waiting for the right opportunity, what do you expect from a filmmaker, faith, patience or risk?
16:53Faith, patience or risk?
16:57I think that the risk of a newcomer or a semi-known actor,
17:06I think I expect that I am in the filmmakers.
17:14And faith, in my talent, faith in my ability,
17:20that I am the master that you will offer or do,
17:24I will be successful with it,
17:28and I will be able to support it with all my knowledge.
17:31So faith, I definitely seek.
17:34If you want to talk about mental health,
17:37there is no need to be done.
17:38If you do not work with an actor,
17:40there is no need to be done,
17:42there is no need to be done with mental health.
17:44So what is your strong mental health?
17:46And what advice do we give to young actors who are struggling,
17:51who are looking for mental health?
17:54Definitely.
17:56I think there is a kind of ability,
18:00mental strength,
18:02which you learn in your journey.
18:05I think there is no need to learn this.
18:08You learn yourself in your journey,
18:10which I am also learning.
18:12So definitely,
18:13you learn about mental health,
18:15but there is no need to be done with mental health.
18:18Like you are afraid of mental health.
18:19But sometimes,
18:20you learn something that you are afraid of,
18:21but if there is no need to be done with any other field,
18:22but there is no need to be done with that.
18:23a self-belief, a confidence is necessary to have a self-belief, a confidence in an actor.
18:32At least, I have to take those things, I have to take my work.
18:37So, you know, it can happen that you have to pursue those things in different ways.
18:45Mentally, there are some things, obviously, that you have to irritate a little bit.
18:51But, I think, this is my name of life and I have to fight.
18:57What are you going to do with future trips?
19:01Well, I think, there are some projects that I have completed.
19:06I think, hopefully, we will come soon.
19:09And, you know, still, my film is released on Netflix.
19:15So, I think, there are some projects.
19:19And I hope that there will be some good projects again.
19:24So, if the audience has not seen me in a long time,
19:29I will create a connection again.
19:32So, I will just try.
19:35I think, I think, I think, this trend, I think, COVID-19, I think,
19:51I think, our consumer behavior has changed.
19:55I think, I think, I don't want to see films in the cinema.
19:59So, I can understand that, you know,
20:02the fan following of a little bit of a fan following, obviously, has been reduced.
20:07And, people have seen a lot of content in the OTT.
20:09So, you know, people want to see things like this.
20:14And they think, you know, people want to see things like this.
20:18But, I think, the cinema has always been there for many years.
20:20I think that film has been there for many years,
20:22years and years.
20:23It has been a great charm.
20:24It has been a great fandom.
20:27It has been a great family.
20:29It has been a great community.
20:32And, it is a very early stage.
20:35I think it will always be the same level of the world.
20:39But in OTT, I think there are so many interesting mediums
20:43where people get a lot of liberty,
20:47as a performer, as an artist, as a creator.
20:51You get a lot of freedom in which you get a lot of freedom.
20:53So, OTT is a place and cinema is a place.
20:55I think that both audiences are always full.
20:59What is your opinion?
21:01I am comfortable in my work.
21:03I am comfortable in my work.
21:05It is a place to be a medium.
21:07It is a place to be a role.
21:09I think that if I can do it with my own work
21:13then I am not going to change my position.
21:17It will change my job.
21:19I think that when we get such a chance,
21:25it is a place to be a medium or a role.
21:27I think that I will probably get a chance again.
21:33Probably not.
