00:00Sandeepa Ji first of all welcome to INS
00:02Thank you so much
00:03And Sandeepa Ji, first of all you will know
00:05what was the reason for you to do in Seher
00:11and what attracted you to this script
00:15There are 2-3 things
00:16which I planned to make a film
00:22The first thing was of course the story
00:25After a very long time
00:27there was a sweet love story
00:29which is not a typical love story
00:33There is a story
00:34where both are flawed
00:37and through the story
00:39people embrace their flaws
00:45and they try to accept each other
00:47in themselves
00:49It was a novelty
00:50because there are very few stories
00:53where hero and heroine
00:56accept their flaws
00:57and they are aware of it
00:59The second thing was my character
01:02who is seen from one side
01:04so she feels perfect
01:06and her life feels perfect
01:08but inside
01:10she is so lonely
01:11she is so broken
01:13through this film
01:15her journey
01:17so I think
01:19for me
01:20that dichotomy
01:22that you feel perfect
01:24but inside
01:25your story
01:26is different
01:27so that was my
01:29challenging
01:30After the release
01:31How did you see your character
01:32how did you see this role
01:34emotionally
01:35and personally
01:36how did you challenge this role
01:39after the release
01:40after the release
01:40I am glad
01:41that as I thought
01:42the film
01:43made like that
01:44and my character
01:46came out
01:47and came out
01:47as I thought
01:48so
01:49it is
01:51satisfaction
01:51that as I thought
01:52the same
01:53happened
01:53I knew
01:55the confrontation scene
01:56with Murnal
01:57in the second half
01:58I think
01:59I knew
02:00that
02:01if I do it
02:03right
02:03it will be a highlight point
02:05and that happened
02:05that scene
02:08came out
02:09and many people
02:10can relate
02:11with my character
02:13and
02:17I think
02:18on the whole
02:19the experience
02:21of shooting a film
02:23was very good
02:24through this film
02:25Sanjali Labansali
02:27production
02:28their vision
02:30and
02:30you all know
02:32that
02:32it is
02:33visually
02:33so strong
02:35and
02:36Raviyudyavar
02:36sir
02:36whose film
02:37directed
02:37his sense
02:39of
02:39you know
02:40visual
02:40is so strong
02:41that
02:41they have seen
02:43Mumbai
02:44and Uttarakhand
02:45I don't think
02:46you have seen
02:47Mumbai
02:48and Uttarakhand
02:48in the film
02:50so
02:50that was all
02:52very exciting
02:54The title
02:56is very poetic
02:57The film
02:57is very poetic
03:01about a modern relationship
03:02and
03:02emotional loneliness
03:05also
03:05comments
03:07absolutely
03:07I think
03:08the latter
03:09this is just
03:10a love story
03:10not a love story
03:12through
03:12we have explored
03:13that
03:16which
03:17you may
03:18relate
03:19either
03:20sibling
03:21comparison
03:22or
03:22seeking
03:23validation
03:24or
03:25self-worth
03:25or
03:27sisterhood
03:29these
03:30family values
03:31family
03:32bonding
03:32in which way
03:33parents
03:34are toxic
03:36this
03:36we have explored
03:38in the film
03:39so
03:39it's not just a love story
03:41I think
03:41it's a more wholesome
03:42take on a love story
03:45Professionally
03:46familiar
03:46and personally
03:48reconnecting
03:49with your roots
03:49two experiences
03:50in one
03:51one
03:51one
03:51one
03:51one
03:51one
03:52one
03:52one
03:52one
03:52one
03:52one
03:52one
03:52one
03:52one
03:52one
03:54one
03:54one
03:54one
03:55one
03:56three
03:56two
03:56three
03:57three
04:04six
04:06you
04:07two
04:17three
04:19so that's why I have a lot of trees
04:23so it's always
04:26I think because my birthday comes in February
04:29so it's the beginning of the year
04:31so always, whenever or any way
04:34like I come back to Vaishno Devi
04:37there's always a good news waiting for me usually
04:41so this time that good news was my film
04:43that the film was releasing in the theatres
04:46because we had this film shoot for a half year
04:50and finally it's coming out
04:51and now it's going to also come out on Netflix
04:54so it was very good
04:56Mata Rani gave blessings
04:58and that's why I'm getting compliments for my role
05:05it's just
05:05I feel like it's just a blessing of Mata Rani
05:09Fim, Sibling and Comparisons
05:11you mean conditional love explore
05:14so that you have ever felt the pressure in real life
05:16of course, I think I have
05:19every one who has felt the pressure of sibling comparison
05:22if you have ever felt the pressure in real life
05:23if you have any brother or cousin
05:28or cousin
05:30you will always compare to your parents or teachers
05:35how many times have happened to your parents
05:38if you have two siblings in the same school
05:40when you are studying in school
05:41so teachers say to your siblings
05:43that you can't study good
05:45like your brother
05:46or sometimes
05:47sometimes
05:48sometimes
05:49sometimes
05:50sometimes
05:50sometimes
05:51I think
05:52kids are constantly compared
05:54to somebody or the else
05:55and
05:56I don't think
05:57parents realize
05:58or teachers
05:59realize
06:00that this is a bad habit
06:02to compare
06:04two people
06:05because
06:07everybody is so different from each other
06:09and
06:09when you compare
06:10how much trauma
06:11you create
06:12in children
06:13I don't think
06:14people realize
06:15it's a very toxic trait of parents
06:18and teachers
06:18to do this
06:19we also compare
06:21with others
06:23whether they are in social media
06:24or
06:24I am
06:24or
06:25sometimes
06:25our friends
06:27have achieved something more
06:28so
06:29you think
06:29this
06:30has achieved so much
06:31and
06:32why is it happening
06:33that
06:33I can't achieve it
06:35I think
06:36people need to stop doing that
06:37everyone's journey is different
06:39everyone's timing is different
06:42you are not getting what you want to get
06:44is
06:44because
06:45probably
06:45it's not right for you
06:46at that time
06:47so
06:48I think
06:49that is something
06:50that we need to understand
06:52that we have to make peace with
06:53that you are
06:55whatever you are
06:57enough for yourself
06:58for the rest of the world
06:59and just accept that
07:01and make peace with that
07:30Assemble cast
07:32that you are
07:33both trying to communicate
07:36within that
07:36four five scenes
07:37you have to communicate
07:38to the audience
07:39that
07:40your character
07:41what you want to say
07:42what is it going through
07:43what do you have to say
07:43what is it going through
07:43what is your crisis
07:44what is your resolution
07:45you have to tell
07:46everything in four five scenes
07:49So that is challenging because as an actor there is more work for you in terms of your craft
07:57You have to be more prepared for it
07:58Other than that it's
08:01In the film that talks about Siddhaam's character
08:04He has a speech problem
08:06They call Saur and Saur
08:09That's why our acceptance and self-love unfolds
08:13So what do you think about today's social media
08:15How relevant is the condition of validation?
08:21I think this is the main point of the film
08:25This is the relatability
08:27Because we are all trying to learn validation
08:32We are not accepting ourselves for what we are
08:36We want to make something else
08:40We want to make something else
08:41And we think that what we want to make is better than what we are right now
08:47Especially girls
08:49I think girls are constantly on diet
08:51Sometimes 5 kilos more or less
08:54It has become an endless cycle
08:56Sometimes keto diet
08:58Sometimes gluten free diet
09:00Sometimes skin treatments
09:02Sometimes anti-aging
09:04There are so many things
09:07Especially for girls
09:08I think the pressure also to look a certain way is more on women
09:11The girls never say anything
09:14If you see the girl like that
09:16They will never say anything
09:18They will not say anything
09:18But if girls are not dressed up in a good way
09:21Then they will say
09:22What happened?
09:23Why are you ill and not come back?
09:26Why did you get the truth?
09:26You have to do all things
09:27You have to go to the girl
09:28You have to do things
09:28You have to make up
09:30I think there's a lot more pressure on women to look a certain way, to feel a certain way
09:35and it's very unfair.
09:38I think we need to recognize that you are the same as you want to go.
09:44And that's enough.
10:06I think there are no factors.
10:10There are many normal girls who are not seeing on the screen.
10:19They are doing cosmetic procedures, fillers, botox.
10:23It's a very common thing.
10:25What was the first thing?
10:26I think they are doing actresses.
10:29But I think every girl nowadays wants to feel the heroine in her own life.
10:34She is a heroine of her own story.
10:35So I think it's a dangerous territory.
10:39I think we are creating a society where we feel that we are not enough.
10:46And we have a standard of beauty that we are trying to fulfill.
10:55I think we need to stop that right now.
10:58And it will start only when your friends, your irgid people,
11:04like people, like if they are simply doing that right now.
11:12I think it's like you're the only person who's a person and what is this problem?
11:16Of course.
11:17I think we constantly compare ourselves to a person with another life.
11:23And so that's why the pressures have also coming.
11:25We feel that the other's life is better with us and we want to make it like that.
11:32So I think comparison is the thief of joy.
11:36You will never be happy if you compare your life with others.
11:40In 2016, what does success mean for Sandeepa? Box office acclaim or inner satisfaction?
11:48I think every year, whether it's 2025, 2026, 2027, I think inner peace is what I seek.
12:02The work will come, the film will be made, the hit flops will be made.
12:08I have to tell my life with you.
12:11So I need to be very happy with the person that I am.
12:15So my aim always is that I will grow as an individual.
12:23And I will understand what my purpose is for life.
12:29Sandeepa, what are your future projects and what message do you want to give to your fans?
12:32In the future projects, there is a show on Netflix which is going to be coming.
12:37There is a film with Lakshman Uttelkar.
12:41And that's it for now.
