00:00Welcome Maury to IMS. It is an absolute pleasure to have you with us on board today.
00:04Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.
00:06Thank you. So firstly, you know, as of course we all are here for Khatro Ke Killari Promotions.
00:11Yes.
00:11I really wanted to know that how excited and how thrilled are you?
00:14I mean, how much do you look forward to this show?
00:17I'm looking so forward to it.
00:19I'm very excited. I was born excited. I'm so excited I got a bikini wax. I'm that excited.
00:25But I don't think Khatro has got anything. Is that like the khatra that you've taken for the show?
00:29It was a test on the amount of pain I could endure. Yes.
00:32Like now no electricity is going to hurt me. And if there's a swimming task, I will swim smoothly.
00:37Right. You know, we've been asking everybody mostly who's part of the show that what is that particular fear that
00:42really is going to make them petrified?
00:44What about you?
00:45We're going to find out. So I just realized that a lot of people are doing the show to get
00:49over their fears.
00:50I feel like I've lived such an exhausting life that this is really a test of am I still scared
00:55of anything?
00:56So we'll find out now on this show.
00:59Right. You know, when you said that you want to find out whether you are scared of anything as such,
01:04we have seen that you, with words especially and with your opinions, right,
01:09you're extremely beyond Khatro ke Khiladi. You're already a pro with it, right?
01:13Be it on social media, whatever you feel, you state out as you want it without mincing words.
01:19I can't hold a thought in my head.
01:20Yeah, even if it's like uncanny box of worms, you're okay with it because that's what it is.
01:24It is. It's true. I'm just bird vomiting all the time.
01:26And you never know what's going to fall out of my mouth.
01:29Right, right, right.
01:30So you know, when you talk about, do you not fear that kind of a thing that,
01:34because not that you're a celebrity, you're a social person.
01:37So I wanted to know that, does that kind of now hold you back from here?
01:41Is that what you should think about it?
01:42Or is that what you have to think about it?
01:46Yeah, no, I don't hold back.
01:48I just don't. What's going to happen?
01:50What's going to happen if I say something?
01:53Like, I don't know.
01:54I speak my thoughts.
01:55That's what's made me famous.
01:56That's what brought me here.
01:57So why would I now stop?
01:58I do understand that being famous kind of cages you and stops you from saying certain things.
02:03But that really matters on what kind of famous you are.
02:07Like, a lot of people don't want to say something because it'll change the way people look at them
02:10or their opinion or brand deals or like the movies they do.
02:12But I'm not looking to do movies.
02:14So if someone gets offended and a director or producer doesn't like me,
02:17but I'm not really looking to act.
02:19And what if I don't get a brand deal because of this?
02:21Then so be it.
02:22Because if a brand wants me to do something with them,
02:24and they use me as the face of the role model,
02:26then if they don't agree with my thoughts and I don't agree with theirs,
02:28I'm okay if they don't use me, you know?
02:30And a lot of people have the fear of being cancelled,
02:33like the fear of cancellation.
02:34But remember, you can't cancel what you didn't support.
02:38And I worked hard to be famous.
02:40I made myself famous.
02:41No one gave it to me.
02:42No one, I'm not a cricket star.
02:43I'm not a TV star.
02:44I'm not a movie star.
02:44No one gave me a movie or show or a sport.
02:47I worked hard on it myself.
02:48So no one really supported me.
02:50So when people are scared of being cancelled,
02:52I'm like, you can't cancel what you didn't support.
02:54Even the audience didn't support me.
02:55I did it myself.
02:56Like, you know, people didn't see me wake up and grind at 5am.
03:01People didn't see me slog every day.
03:03People didn't see me cut those videos and those reels and show.
03:05I mean, because I didn't do any of that.
03:07But the point is that no one really brought me here.
03:10No one really supported that journey I went on.
03:12So can't cancel what you didn't support.
03:15I pay my own bills.
03:16No one pays my bills for me.
03:18So what are you going to do?
03:19Cancel me?
03:19What, my bills will stop being paid?
03:20No, I paid them myself.
03:21Thanks.
03:22I love that attitude.
03:23I hope the world really gets...
03:25Damian Ghar.
03:27I'm carrying forward this attitude.
03:29You know, Ari, we have seen you in Big Boss as well.
03:32Yes.
03:32Just for a very, very brief period.
03:33Yes.
03:33And now you're doing Khantro.
03:34Yes.
03:35So it's basically, if I can say, there are two reality shows that you are doing.
03:38I love Colors TV.
03:40Right.
03:41So I just want to know that before Big Boss and before you actually become a social media star,
03:46you had said that I'm a liver.
03:48Yes.
03:49It's true.
03:49Now, when we ask you, what is Ari after all these reality shows and all the...
03:54Reality show.
03:55Big Boss, what I did for one day, it doesn't count.
03:58This is the first reality show I'm doing.
04:00This is going to be my...
04:01I'm a reality show virgin.
04:03This is going to be my debut and my retirement.
04:07I love the choice of words though.
04:10Also, I wanted to know that...
04:11Have you personally gotten to meet the other contestants?
04:14I just met them today for the first time.
04:17So what kind of vibe did you get from them?
04:21They're all very cute.
04:23A little too much Hindi for my first time meeting them.
04:26But that is an obstacle I look forward to hopping over.
04:29Right.
04:29Also, when we talk about Khatrovi Khiladi, right?
04:31When you talk about the show, it is basically a lot of...
04:35More than drama.
04:36Like, Big Boss is a lot of drama.
04:37When you talk about Khatro, it is actual testing yourself.
04:41Yes.
04:41More than winning.
04:42Yes.
04:42It's about identifying your fears and your strength.
04:45Right?
04:46What is your strength that you feel lies already within you?
04:50Which no means?
04:51I am an overachiever.
04:53I've always been an overachiever.
04:55I believe in life you have to have dreams.
04:57You have to have big dreams.
04:58You have to give your dreams wings to fly.
04:59And I consider myself an overachiever.
05:02If you ask me to paint something for your studio, I'm going to paint the whole damn world.
05:06So if you ask me what my strength is, that is my strength.
05:08It's no one particular strength.
05:10My strength is that I achieve.
05:11My strength is that I ace my tests.
05:14That is my strength.
05:16My strength is that I understand what I have to do.
05:18And I do what I have to do to get where I have to get.
05:20That is my strength.
05:22And hence, I'm excited to see and take on this test.
05:25Right.
05:25And the last question.
05:27And the last question before entering into, basically, when you got this offer on board,
05:32did you get to talk to any of your Bollywood besties?
05:34And if yes, who were they?
05:35And what?
05:36I only asked Khushi Kapoor and she said, just do it.
05:38And I was like, fine.
05:40Yes.
05:41Absolutely.
05:41And that's about it.
05:42We are very thrilled to see Ori's this version on the show now.
05:47We're really looking forward to it.
05:50Thank you so much.
