00:00I feel embarrassed now. This was such a beautiful video. In fact, I also saw some visuals when I just
00:07started, when I first time faced the camera, there were a few visuals of that. This is very, very special.
00:13So Shashigaru, I am going to ask for this video from you after this, okay? And you know, all I
00:19can say is, Shashigaru, you want to come on stage, please?
00:23Harshita also can come, Harshita, please.
00:33Harshita, our co-founder of Asher Food Sunday and founder, Shashigaru Redigaru.
00:39You know, these two personalities who are standing beside me, you know, they are really, I would say, the real
00:48rock stars.
00:49You know, before I could speak about my journey in, you know, Telugu industry or whatever I have done.
00:55So I feel blessed and I think everything that I have done so far brings me across such noble souls.
01:02And I remember when the first time I had met Shashigaru and Harshita, all I knew was, these are the
01:10people who are going to be my family for many more years to come.
01:15Not only for this journey, but many more new journeys. We will keep on bringing smiles.
01:20And in fact, thank you so much for educating me on, you know, pepper, chili, you know, Haldi comes from
01:29Legdagang.
01:30So that was my, you know, new things to my notebook. So, and when I asked them about, you know,
01:39how are we going to source all those things and make sure that they reach the right kitchens, the right
01:46families,
01:46all I could hear from them was a pure dedication for making sure that every kitchen in this country gets
01:55the right, you know, chili is right, pepper, everything.
02:03And from that too, from the original sources where they actually belong, which is, I don't know whether we have
02:08so many products in the market and no one ever thought about it.
02:12You know, I have never thought about, we always think about, you know, what brand of shoes I'm going to
02:17wear, what brand of perfume I'm going to use, what clothes we want to buy.
02:22We are so picky about everything, but we have never thought how we should get all these right ingredients for
02:30our kitchens, which we are going to consume every single day.
02:32And we never thought about it. So this was our first discussion, how it started.
02:38And this is our campaign, which you'll see after a few minutes, how Asha Foods is going to get introduced
02:44to you.
02:45But all I can say is that this soil of Telugu, industry, Telugu family is my soil.
02:54Though I am born in Punjab, but there was some connection that always brought me here.
02:59I started my career from South industry and whatever I've learned from cinema, I'm an engineer, I'm not a professionally
03:05trained actor,
03:06but whatever I've learned, I've learned from Telugu industry. So thank you so much for giving me all the love.
03:11You know, and when, when I used to come here for my movies and I used to get some Bollywood
03:16offers,
03:16but still I would choose to Hollywood cinema and my friends used to say,
03:20yeah, language is your Hindi, but why do you prefer it there?
03:25I said the kind of love that I get from there, you know, there's no comparison.
03:29So obviously this will be my first home always, the connections that I've built here and the most special phases
03:39of my career
03:40have been from this soil. So this is going to be very, very special.
03:44And yes, the COVID journey was not only a life changing experience for me, but I think for my family
03:53also,
03:53sometimes, you know, God chooses you to do right things in life.
03:56We always run behind our targets that, you know, I want to be a part of a 500 crore blockbuster
04:04or a 1000 crore blockbuster.
04:06But I promise you, I always say that, you know, bringing a smile on an unknown face is much more
04:11bigger than a 1000 crore blockbuster movie.
04:14So this is what we all should aim at. And I'm glad that this journey, what we have started today
04:22is going to be very, very special.
04:23And with Asha Foods, they're my family, you know, and we promise you that we will deliver you the best
04:32ever.
04:32And the most precious thing in your kitchen from now on will be the shelf on which Asha Food lies.
04:39Thank you so much for this. Thank you so much. So are we all?
