00:00I'm heartbroken from the way that the Indian media and Indians around me have handled this situation.
00:06If we're going to lose every single person in Iran, but this regime is going to go, that's what we
00:11want.
00:11Iranian actress Mundana Karimi says she hates the Ayatollah-led regime in Iran.
00:16She left Iran at the age of 18 as a child when she used to go to school.
00:21We start our day by saying, death to America, death to Israel.
00:25Once I asked, who's America? Why did we hate them? What have they done?
00:28I didn't get an answer. I got punished for it.
00:30She said she witnessed state executions first hand.
00:33I saw a man hanging on this square and I still have that image with me.
00:39And I asked my father, I was like, why that guy's hanging from a machine?
00:44By 18, she says she knew she had to leave.
00:46I cannot be here. I left for survival.
00:49She says for her, India felt familiar. She built her career here and called it home for 15 years.
00:54I've got heartbroken here. I had a failure in my business. I had a great time.
01:00But in 2026, she says she was disappointed when authorities denied her the permission
01:05to hold a protest against the Iranian regime in Mumbai.
01:08But demonstrations favouring the Islamic regime were taking place around the country, she said.
01:13I want to keep a candlelight and I want to make an awareness towards it.
01:17I've become a dangerous person.
01:18Those people in Lucknow, Delhi, Kashmir who are very aggressively giving so much of bad words
01:24and using bad language are okay and allowed to do the protest.
01:29She says even the Indian media twisted her words.
01:32Oh, she's talking about against the government. Oh, how dare you? You have made money here.
01:36She also reacted to the little girl in Kashmir breaking her piggy bank for Iran,
01:40part of another pro-regime demonstration, the regime she opposes so strongly.
01:45It got me chills because I used to look like that in Iran.
01:49If she's, I don't know her age, let's say a girl who's nine years old,
01:54that's when she can actually marry in Iran. Why no one is talking about that?
01:59She also spoke about the Iranian women who were protesting on the ground by smoking, burning hijabs.
02:05It doesn't matter how much you're going to try to break our bodies, but the soul that we have,
02:09that one thing that an Iranian woman has, the guts, the soul, the essence of an Iranian woman,
02:16not the regime, not the world, nobody can break it.
02:20Then comes her most debated stand.
02:22Yes, the prize is, we're going to lose people in war.
02:25At least our girls, they're not going to get raped in jails anymore.
02:29She says the fight is clear, no matter the cost.
02:32If we're going to lose every single person in Iran, but this regime is going to go, that's what we
02:37want.
02:38She backs a return led by Reza Palvi, the eldest son of Mohammad Reza Palvi, the last Shah of Iran.
02:44If the Iran regime falls,
02:46I will pack my bag the moment that this regime is out.
02:49I want to go back to Iran.
02:51I want to invite my friends and say, hey, come to my country.
