00:00Shivangiri first of all welcome to A&T
00:02Thank you so much
00:03Shivangiri, you have entered in the 3rd year
00:07What have you seen in the 1st year or 2?
00:10What have you seen in your role?
00:13How much help did you feel in the 3rd year?
00:18Look, the show is a very big show
00:23Shakuntalam Television
00:24When you are together with a franchise
00:29You have a very big responsibility
00:35And of course I have always been a fan of the show
00:38And fortunately
00:40I got a chance to work in season 3
00:44My story's name is Midnight Bride
00:48So I was very lucky enough
00:51The makers told me it's like
00:54They took me
00:55I am very very overwhelmed
00:59To see the response
01:00Because my story has been released
01:03And now
01:05Hangama OTT is coming up with the vertical format
01:08So whatever shows
01:10Hangama OTT
01:11Like web shows or stories
01:13They are re-release
01:15As vertically
01:16So Hangama OTT
01:20That's also getting re-released
01:22And Midnight Bride
01:25So it's going to happen
01:27In season 3
01:28It's a bold or dare show
01:30So in this show
01:31What is the challenge of your character
01:33Emotionally and mentally
01:34What is the challenge?
01:39Honestly
01:40Initially
01:41Because
01:41Yes, I doubted on myself
01:44Because I am very western
01:46I am very western
01:47I am very western
01:48Or thought wise
01:49But
01:50When I heard about this story
01:53I was like
01:53You guys are sure that you want to take me?
01:56Because I have never experimented something like that
01:58This character is too simple
01:59You will never see me in real life
02:03Because I don't have confidence in my life
02:05I have to have makeup
02:06I have to have good clothes
02:08And
02:09This was the problem of doing on screen
02:10I have to have to have lenses
02:12I am wearing lenses
02:15Because
02:16You know
02:16I developed a sort of confidence
02:18But
02:19In that show
02:19You have to have lenses
02:20Or
02:21You have to have hair
02:23Or
02:23You can have good clothes
02:25Because
02:25My character
02:26He is a
02:27Widow
02:28And
02:29You know
02:31As for the society
02:33Widows
02:34Can't really
02:35Do makeup
02:35Or
02:36Can't do really
02:37Much
02:37Anything on themselves
02:38So
02:38That character
02:40I have done
02:41And
02:42That character
02:43It is so simple
02:44That
02:44When I show
02:47I realized
02:48That
02:48Simple things
02:50Can also be really pretty
02:51And beautiful
02:52So
02:53In simplicity
02:53It is also
02:55So that's when I realized
02:56That
02:57If
02:58The makers
02:58Have me
02:58So
02:59I have to have justice
03:01To this character
03:02And
03:02When the show is complete
03:04I really got a lot of appreciation
03:06Not just from
03:06My own team
03:07Hair, makeup, production
03:09But also
03:11Audiences
03:11Also
03:12The production house people
03:13Also the producers
03:14I think they loved my story
03:24In real life
03:26In real life
03:40Yeah
03:40You know
03:40You know
03:41Really survive without love
03:42Which is very important
03:43Love
03:45Whatever type
03:45Whatever form
03:47So
03:47Love
03:48Is very important
03:50For survival
03:51So
03:51That's the main desire
03:53That I have
03:57That I have
04:23Season 3
04:23Me
04:23Storytelling
04:23Because
04:24Because
04:24Everybody has desires
04:26And
04:26They can connect
04:27Not just with my story
04:29But also
04:306
04:31Stories
04:31Also
04:32Hasratay
04:33Again
04:34Got a lot of
04:35Great response
04:36So
04:37By default
04:39That
04:39A show
04:41Hasratay
04:42Hasratay
04:52Hasratay
04:57Conscious effort
04:59Conscious effort
05:01Conscious effort
05:01I think
05:01Of course
05:02Lene
05:03Because
05:04You know
05:05You're not living
05:06With that person

05:16Rohan
05:16Being a gentleman
05:17He was very very comfortable
05:19He made the other person
05:20Comfortable

06:09Characters
06:10And
06:11Live
06:11Their
06:11Lives
06:12So
06:12I
06:13Think
06:15Aap
06:16A
06:16A
06:16A
06:16A
06:17A
06:17A
06:17A
06:17A
06:17A
06:17A
06:18A
06:18A
06:40A
06:40A
06:40A
06:41A
06:42Af
06:43Of
06:43Of
06:43Of
06:43Course
06:43The
06:44Stories
06:45Are
06:45Different
06:45I
06:46Think
06:46We
06:46Have
06:46Such
06:47Talented
06:47Writer
06:50With
06:51Us
06:51Of
06:51Of
06:52Course
06:52The story changes because the perspective changes, the thinking changes, but the shooting style was in 2013 since I really
07:09started working in TV
07:11and now everything is the same, everything is the same
07:16In TV, there is a debate about how to write a working hours in TV
07:22It is a lot of working hours and the actors are exhausted
07:28So, what do you say about it?
07:33Working hours are in OTT
07:35It takes more than 13-14 hours and they have to complete in 2-3 days
07:42So, it is hectic
07:43Like I said that in OTT, you don't even get a chance to breathe
07:47You have to only work
07:49More often, there is no break, but you have to eat a little bit of food
07:53So, this kind of a pattern is in OTT also
07:56But the catch is that in TV, if you are leading in all the scenes, then you have to be
08:04there
08:04I mean, you will not get a chance to breathe
08:07But if you are paralleling, or if you are side-y characters, then definitely
08:11You know, the actors are paid to wait
08:14And when I was paralleling, half the time I was always in the vanity
08:18So, I was very irritated
08:19I was told to my EP, sir, pack up or put my scene
08:23So, they would say that no, no, you are paid to wait
08:25So, you wait
08:26When you are 12 hours, then you will be there
08:28So, that thing is still there
08:30And of course, if you have more work, then you are always there
08:33So, there is a deadline
08:36You know, there is a telecast
08:38And today we are shooting that thing
08:39So, if that pattern is solved, then all the problems will be solved
08:44And there, it will cause much I am not, so it will cause you all to do
08:52And what was the problem you need
08:52As far as the team
08:52I've heard, this is not a problem
08:54This is a problem of production houses
08:56There are lots of production houses
08:58Who are very good with payments
09:01Problem as such
09:02I have not very touch put
09:04Because the payment terms is already talked about
09:07Because it happens before
09:0890 days
09:08You know, it happens
09:09Once you start shooting
09:11After 90 days, you get a payment for the first take.
09:14So that is how it is.
09:16So everything is very smooth.
09:18But if there are not many production houses,
09:20it's because there are problems
09:21or the bank corrupt.
09:25For that, our association is SINTA,
09:28which leaves us from problems.
09:30But this is not coming to me today.
09:33In TV, actors, actors are always bound.
09:38Did you say that there is freedom in OTT?
09:41Absolutely.
09:42That's what I said.
09:43As many shows I have done on TV,
09:45they last for 2 years or 3 years.
09:49I haven't done it.
09:50But as we know,
09:51like Tarak Mehta's Ultra Chashma.
09:54If you take the character of Ayur Ji,
09:59and if you watch them in OTT,
10:01then you will not digest it.
10:02Because you have always seen him like Ayur.
10:05Or Jeta Lal.
10:07If you take the opposite layer,
10:10nobody will digest that.
10:12Although he is a very good actor.
10:14He will crack it.
10:15But he doesn't digest it.
10:16Because you set that thing.
10:18You have been working in the same,
10:20like a government job for 10 years.
10:22So your image is set.
10:24Whereas in OTT,
10:26you have that space to live every character
10:28in every story differently.
10:30So this is a freedom.
10:32Okay.
10:33If you want to have some advice in your early career,
10:36then what will you do?
10:38Especially in role direction.
10:40If you want to have some advice in your early career,
10:44then what will you do?
10:45If you want to have some advice in your early career?
10:59If you want to have some advice in your early career,
10:59But when things are gone,
11:01they are gone.
11:02I rejected,
11:04not rejected,
11:05I mean I rejected the audition of Kum Kum Bhagya.
11:10The makers were ready to cast me but I was like next time I will do it because it is
11:16very easy but it is not easy.
11:20Now you really have to struggle to get a role so don't go easy on things.
11:37I have judgment feel from the extended family perspective thinking oh she does bold, oh she does intimacy.
11:50So they judge but they don't know that it is a story.
11:54Of course they know but still they want to judge so it is just acting I mean you are here
11:59to perform not that.
12:01If I do 10 intimate scenes with 10 different actors it does not mean that I am dating all of
12:07them.
12:08So this is common sense but the people judge.
12:12When does it become script, character depth or social impact?
12:18Script. I go mad when I listen to the story.
12:22Toh phr mein mere opposite korn hai, mein wo bhi bool jate ho.
12:28Me ko kitna commercial mil raha hai, birde kitna mera fee hai, mein wo bhi bool jate ho.
12:32If the story is good then I know as an actor ki mujhe eek chance mil raha hai to perform.
12:38Or mein ismei far dungi.
12:40Matlab mein ismei apna best to best dungi.
12:43So then I go for it.
12:45Do you think in your industry aadhi female desire ko dikhanne par diskomfort feel hota hai?
12:50Or logo mein diskomfort hota hai?
12:52Logo mein hota hooga but mujhe toh chahiye hi vahi.
12:54I am looking for female centric roles jaha per I can perform as much as I can.
13:00Jis mein bhohut layers hoti hai.
13:02Ab vulnerable bhi dikhti ho.
13:04Aap meh strengths bhi dikhti hai.
13:05So you as an actor aapko you know sans aada hai perform karne mein.
13:10So I am really looking.
13:11But haan logo ko shayad nahi bhi aat ho.
13:13I am really looking.
13:14If audience haasate season 3 ko eek chiz apne real life me relate kare.
13:18To aap kya chaheengi ho kya ho?
13:23I am really looking.
13:23I am really looking.
13:26But agar relate kare.
13:28I think just live your life.
13:31Aap family pressure mein aake.
13:33Ya saamaj kya socheega.
13:35Society kya kahegi.
13:37Us chakr mein aake.
13:38You know you just have one life to live.
13:41If you have any desire.
13:42Just go for it.
13:45Agar ane wale time in shivangi varma go kisi zone mein dekhaan chahehen.
13:50Romance star drama ya completely unpredictable roles ko kya ho dho?
13:55See I really would want to take up roles.
13:58Jo romantic thriller hoote hain.
14:00Us ko perform karne mein.
14:01Mujhe bhoot zahada mazad hain.
14:03So agar kuch aasi stories aayen.
14:05Ya agar koi biopic aayen.
14:07I would love to do that.
14:09Lasti audience ko kya message dena chahehen ge.
14:11Women's day aah raha hai.
14:12Women's day mein aash ki nari kere.
14:15Oh toh best hai.
14:16Metla mena show bhi aya hai.
14:17Hasrute.
14:18Aur meri story woman centric hai.
14:21Toh first of all happy women's day.
14:23And I just want to say that especially to all the women out there.
14:29Struggle sabki life mein hota hai.
14:31But that does not mean that you stop living.
14:33I think just go for it.
14:34It's just you know living for once.
14:37Aur aap jiye kisi ko hurt kye bina.
14:41But just live your dream and be happy.
