00:00I am a computer engineer, I come from a middle class family where I have been brought up
00:10in Ahmedabad, so obviously never grew up that I am going to come to Bollywood, so probably
00:16my earlier films reflected those decisions, but I was a part of Femina Miss India in the
00:22year 2000, which is why I came to Bombay first and once I came to Bombay, I started modeling
00:28commercials, like Cadbury Temptation, Daba Ramla, which was with Priyan Sir, 4 years ago, and
00:36after that, I got my first film, Harry Bavija Banner, and after that, it started in Bollywood.
00:43I have a dream that I am a doctor or engineer, and I have a dream that I am a actress or a doctor?
00:50No, see, as I have said, I am a qualified engineer, so my mom is a teacher, dad engineer, brother
00:57engineer, so I had, I have, was all on the lines to become an engineer, which I did also,
01:02but when I was part of Femina, I came to Bombay for the first time, and there was some
01:08difference in our friends' friends behind our school, that if you are part in college,
01:12you are part in fashion shows, and you are winning, so why don't you part in Femina Miss India?
01:16So, when someone said that this could not be possible, then I try and I pray to God,
01:21that Bhagavan Ji, let me show you this with me, and that's why I am the actress's line,
01:29that also came to my life, because engineering was being done and finished, and like you said,
01:37I am a qualified engineer, so my mom obviously wanted to take an engineering profession,
01:41to take an engineering profession, but now they are proud that Bhayal, you know,
01:44established in your own industry, in Bollywood, in your own industry.
01:47First of all, about 36 Chinatown, it was a good fire,
01:50so what do you want to be an expert?
01:53In fact, I thank Abaz Mastan Sir, because there was a time when I had a break in my image,
02:01and it was possible when senior actors or senior directors could give me a break,
02:07and that happened in 36 Chinatown. In 36 Chinatown, it was a good fire in 36 Chinatown,
02:11but I think I went a little wrong with my makeup, hair, clothes, because,
02:15as I have told you, I was from Ahmedabad, so I had never had a grooming right,
02:20so I had never had a good job, so I had never had a good job.
02:23So, but when they were the director of Gracie, I think people liked it,
02:31and after that, at least it started, it started, it started, it started, it started,
02:34it started, it started, it started, it started, it started, it started,
02:36So, what do you want to go first? Amitabh, what do you want to go first?
02:39What do you want to go first? What do you want to go first?
02:42As I told you, after signing 36 Chinatown, I was very selective,
02:47because I realized how important my director is,
02:51and how important my set-ups are, and how important my placements,
02:54and how important I grow as an actress.
02:56When I was going through this transition, Pradeep Sarkar,
03:00or Dad, I gave an ad.
03:02There were two, in fact, ads with them,
03:04one was Virendra Seva, and one was Amitabh Ji.
03:07And they were both good ads,
03:10but their TRPs didn't have so much, so I think people didn't know that.
03:14But I got the opportunity to work with Big B,
03:17and as you all know, he is one of the most human,
03:21most humble, modest superstar we have.
03:24And they obviously had a very comfortable feeling.
03:28In fact, they remembered that I was going to take a home.
03:31So, they asked me,
03:33Pradeep, you took a home,
03:34you did not do your interiors until now?
03:37And I said, no sir,
03:39now I have only spent the amount of money in the house.
03:42Now, I will spend more money for the interiors.
03:45So, this shows that he is such a person of such great memory.
03:49He also remembers them.
03:51And I am happy that I worked with them in such a,
03:56like, you know, in the earlier process of my transition.
03:59And that's what I had done with Pradeep Sarkar.
04:03First of all, we are talking about corporate.
04:05In this movie, it was such a big business,
04:07but you were singing and singing.
04:09That's a big part of it.
04:10Yes.
04:11So, in my mind, there is a song and performance.
04:14What would you prepare for this song?
04:17In fact, after that song, I realized that,
04:20because that song shooting was in one day,
04:23I realized that as an actress,
04:25it is very necessary to become a good dancer.
04:28And after that song, I started the song.
04:32And today, I am learning Jaipur Gana Khatak with Deepak Senji.
04:38So, again, I am very grateful that Madhur sir
04:41has given me that song at that time.
04:43Because I never do shows before it.
04:46I started to do shows after that song.
04:49And in the last one year, I have been traveling
04:51all over India for shows.
04:53And now, in fact, I signed up with ICI Deluxe Paint Brand.
04:59Where I am going to perform the song with 36 pictures,
05:01and the corporate track, which was my O2 track.
05:03I am going to perform on it.
05:06So, technically, because of that song,
05:09my brand has become clear.
05:11Because in Bollywood, song and dance are very important.
05:14And they help to make the actress's recognition.
05:17So, again, I think a right film happened at that time.
05:20And now, Dhol is happening.
05:22Yeah, Pail.
05:23How Dhol happened to you?
05:24What has it worked?
05:26As I said, I was going to do two seasons.
05:29So, obviously, my director was the one who I wanted to work with.
05:35And Priyan sir was, I think, topping the list.
05:37So, I got Priyan sir in Bhaagambaak sets.
05:40And I said, sir, I have to work with you.
05:43So, Pail, Bhaagambaak shooting is done.
05:46But I'm obviously starting a picture, where I will give you a good role.
05:51Because sir knew that I was transitioning.
05:53With a glamorous image, I needed to establish an acting,
05:56an actress's establishment.
06:00And after two months, I got a call from Percept,
06:03who is our producer.
06:04They were my producers for corporate also.
06:07So, they said that Priyan sir is starting this film.
06:09And there is this very nice role and song and everything.
06:13You will do it.
06:13I said, obviously, we will do it.
06:15Because I think I've been waiting for this phone call.
06:18And in that way, I got Dhol.
06:20And Dhol's shooting, after a week, we went to Pune,
06:23where our film was shooting.
06:25What role do you want to go?
06:28Our director is a singer, a performer.
06:31And who plays in the club.
06:34But, as I said before,
06:36I had mistakes in my pictures,
06:38about makeup, makeup and makeup.
06:40He is very sorted in this picture.
06:42If you see promos, Sir was also very particular.
06:45And who has female leads.
06:47They will keep in the film as much as it is natural.
06:50And at that point, I feel that I have solved the area.
06:55But regarding acting, regarding my dance,
07:00you will see a picture.
07:01And after that, I will know.
07:02I can't say anything about that.
07:04But it's a good role,
07:05with a glamorous image.
07:07Sir has given me good scenes.
07:09And I'm very thankful.
07:11Because I think only a powerful and such a senior director,
07:15like Priyadashan Sir,
07:16an actor who has a transition.
07:18Because you understand,
07:19I'm in a very delicate stage.
07:20So in this stage, I need a powerful director,
07:23who can give me a good break.
07:25Otherwise, that was just repeated work.
07:28And for that, thank you, Sir.
07:30Thank you, Priyadashan Sir.
07:31Because, this film really matters a lot to my career.
07:36First of all, there are multi-star movies,
07:38and a lot of comedy.
07:40What kind of experience with Tushar and all?
07:44In fact, it's very good.
07:46I just met Tushar and Sharman again.
07:49Our publicity campaign, Percept get through.
07:53And, you know, they're very encouraging,
07:55because they know that I'm transitioning.
07:57And obviously, they've done better films with me,
08:01and successful films with me.
08:05But I think, everybody touched on it.
08:11It was really nice.
08:12Because, I knew that I was very nervous.
08:14I used to want that I'm perfect in a shot.
08:17I'm doing a good job.
08:18Because, when you get a picture after 8 months,
08:21which is what you want.
08:22And, in that, your role is what you want.
08:25So, you know, you want to give that extra bit.
08:29So, even Tannushree, she was the leading lady of the film.
08:32Everything was like, touch wood.
08:33Nice.
08:34So, I'm happy that this film happened.
08:42And, on OH95.
08:44So, I've seen it on there.
08:45I've seen it on Earth in the film.
08:47There's something that, you know,
08:49scary and big jump on and it's like that.
08:52So, I'm happy and, even if you're missing this film,
08:53there's something that has to be drawn.
08:54That's very important.
08:55Fantastic.
08:56That's very good.
08:57Still, I've seen it, I know.
08:59I've seen it.
09:00I've seen it, I've seen it on there.
09:01And, you know.
09:02I've seen it on Earth,
09:03and it's like that.
09:04I've seen it on Earth in the world.
