00:00So welcome Avinash to INS. It is an absolute pleasure to have you with us on board today.
00:04Thank you so much.
00:04So firstly, tell us, I mean, I'm sure you have given this question a lot, but how excited are you
00:11for this show?
00:13Definitely a lot because the whole concept excites me a lot.
00:18The way it is, the way a show is conducted, I love it.
00:21And all those things, performing stunts, you know, like having a good time with all the creepy crawls.
00:28So obviously looking forward to it.
00:30Right. Also, you know, this show has been hosted by Rohit Shetty.
00:35So how big boss came to talk about Salman and Salman was through screen.
00:42Yeah, correct.
00:42So with Rohit Shetty, it is in person and he is a taskmaster when it comes to stunts.
00:48A hundred percent, a hundred percent.
00:49No biased, nothing, strictly business.
00:52Right.
00:53So how excited are you to, you know, sharing space with him?
00:56You know, Rohit Shetty's name comes to your mind, action and comedy comes to your mind.
00:59And he is exactly like his movies.
01:02Action is done, and he is done.
01:04And the way he conducts the whole episode, it keeps entertainment in a very fun way and he knows how
01:10to, you know,
01:11how to light a heavy moment, because sometimes the situations are like that, the stunts are like that,
01:15that we can panic, so how will we do it in our minds?
01:18But he makes sure that every contestant is feeling okay, he is there throughout the task,
01:23he is also doing the guide, sometimes he is so involved that he will come in a mess,
01:27when he is doing the contestant, you can do this, do this, you can do it.
01:31So, you know, to have a great support like him, it's going to be amazing and that personality, I am
01:36sure,
01:36you will get to learn a lot of things.
01:37Right, absolutely.
01:39Also, when we talk about Khatravi Khilani, of course, it is to do with fears.
01:43Obviously.
01:43Right, so I wanted to know that what is that one fear that you would want to overcome?
01:47See, there are a lot of fears I feel right now, but the only thing I would like to be
01:52very conscious about is the water stunts.
01:54I will tell you why, because I am a swimmer, so it's not like I don't know it.
01:58Just because I know it, so I don't want to be overconfident while performing,
02:01that I went there and I didn't have a good task, so I want to be more conscious when it's
02:06a water stunt,
02:07so that I perform it in a way that is correct, not with that overconfidence.
02:13Right, also, I wanted to know that, I mean, we have so many contestants on Boro,
02:19also, Khatravi contestants have already been a part of Khatravi Khilani.
02:22How much do you think that is fair or unfair, because you already know the game of it?
02:26See, it's not unfair, to be honest, because, okay,
02:29they have some advantages, they know the weather conditions,
02:33they know the whole schedule routine, how it is, how it works.
02:37But, you know, the way you perform at that moment, that will matter a lot,
02:41and maybe there is a task where they have performed before,
02:44they will go with that vision that they have done before,
02:46and we will task with a new approach,
02:48and that will work and that will work, and that will click.
02:52So, it's going to be like, person to person depending on it.
02:55Right, you know, Abhinash, when we talk about your stint at BigBoss,
02:59right, we all have seen it, completely.
03:02When I talk to other contestants also from BigBoss, right,
03:05when they come out of the show, it has been extremely tasking,
03:08and extremely, it takes a toll on the mental health and everything,
03:11after the show, is what they have told me, okay.
03:13So, I wanted to know, okay,
03:15because, what happens when you live in BigBoss,
03:16that is the momentary, you guys forget it also,
03:20but social media doesn't forget it.
03:21Social media doesn't forgive as well, and they pass the judgment for life.
03:25It becomes difficult to change it, it becomes impossible.
03:30True.
03:30So, a lot of people have told me that they had to seek therapy,
03:33and what was your life from, you know, after BigBoss,
03:37and now till Khatru, how was it?
03:41Definitely, it has changed a lot,
03:42and coming back to your question, like, yes, I've seen,
03:45like, I had a lot of conversation with different contestants of different reality shows,
03:51that yes, they take a toll on your mental health,
03:54because sometimes, when you're too much absorbed in the social media,
03:56and you're looking at the mobile, because you're a public figure,
03:59and people come onto your profile, they write a lot of things,
04:01and if you keep reading those messages, that will affect you.
04:04And, I guess, when I came out of the BigBoss house,
04:07for the next two, three weeks, I was also into that,
04:10because I was watching you, what all things was there.
04:14So, it was great, but the negative things,
04:16you read those comments more,
04:20compared to all the positive comments.
04:21I don't know, what is that human psychology,
04:23that you read all the negative comments,
04:24but you see the positive comments, you're like,
04:27yeah, okay, okay, okay.
04:28But that seeks your attention.
04:30So, obviously, if you keep yourself too much involved in that,
04:35then it will take a toll on you,
04:36and these days, I have been seeing a lot of actors,
04:39you know, coming out on the social media,
04:40and saying, I'm taking a social media break,
04:42there's a lot of trolling going on,
04:43but I feel you have to deal with it,
04:44because you're a public figure,
04:45and the more you keep yourself away from that comment section,
04:49or maybe the trolling, that will help you a lot,
04:52because I have been following that from last one year,
04:54because it's not like we don't get trolled,
04:56but it's like, you have to deal with that,
04:58you can't run away, or you can't crib about how people are,
05:02you can't make everyone feel,
05:03you can't make everyone feel the,
05:05or think the way you think,
05:07so let them do whatever they want,
05:09just focus on your positivity, that's it.
05:11Absolutely.
05:12Also, when we talk about khatra,
05:15what is that one khatra that Avinash has taken in his life,
05:18that has changed his life 180?
05:23Very obvious, the moment I decided to become an actor,
05:26and I said, I'm going to Bombay, and I'll be here,
05:30and I want to pursue this as a career,
05:32so I guess that was the khatra I took,
05:33and that has shaped beautifully,
05:36and a lot of new khatras I have been taking after that,
05:40like doing reality shows,
05:43and doing new projects,
05:44so it's going amazing till now.
05:46Right.
05:47You know, Avinash,
05:47I was recently talking to another contestant
05:50about her journey in this space,
05:52in television, basically in entertainment world.
05:55Okay, okay.
05:56When you come to Bombay,
05:58or when you come to this,
05:59with a vision to join the industry,
06:01which is already so glittery,
06:04and has so many,
06:04attracts thousands or lakhs of people every single day.
06:08Correct.
06:09Right.
06:09I wanted to know that how has Avinash paved his journey
06:12from being, you know, an outsider,
06:14to making, to basically sitting here,
06:18and you know,
06:19all set for his next journey at Khatro.
06:21How has his journey been?
06:23How, what difficulties has it,
06:24have you faced in this journey?
06:26And I think,
06:27he was prepared for this khatras,
06:30throughout your journey,
06:32in a way.
06:33See, I, you know,
06:36you know, I feel the whole journey was like,
06:38I wanted to go through all of these things,
06:41what have happened in my life.
06:42I don't want to,
06:44magnify it,
06:45and glorify my struggles that,
06:48okay, I've done a lot for myself.
06:50You know, this is,
06:51this is a blessing.
06:51I wanted to become an actor.
06:53I am an actor now.
06:54And I am getting paid for what,
06:57what my passion is.
06:59So what else I could have asked for?
07:00So, it's like,
07:01the journey that happens,
07:03the process that happens,
07:04it doesn't mean difficulty.
07:06I enjoyed every phases of my life,
07:08getting rejected from all the TV ads,
07:10to, you know,
07:11walking in the Versova streets,
07:12to all the,
07:13all the,
07:14all the,
07:15auditions.
07:15So,
07:16that's a process,
07:17which I really enjoyed that time.
07:20And,
07:21I feel not only in acting,
07:23in every field,
07:23you go through a process.
07:24And if you love that process,
07:27I mean,
07:27you will enjoy it.
07:28It's not about having a,
07:30hard times,
07:31like,
07:31very bad.
07:32I mean,
07:32perfectly fit.
07:33Two hands,
07:33two pairs,
07:34everything is there.
07:35Salamat,
07:35everything is there.
07:36So,
07:36I don't want to glorify by saying,
07:39it's like,
07:39I enjoyed the whole process.
07:42Right.
07:43You know,
07:44during times of,
07:46a low period,
07:47or a dull phase,
07:49then usually,
07:50what they do is,
07:51coping mechanism,
07:52what they do is,
07:53they think of a certain,
07:54low phase in their life,
07:55which has been already,
07:56which has motivation,
07:57that,
07:58that,
07:58in comparison,
07:58nothing.
07:59Yeah,
08:00we do that sometimes,
08:00in our acting process,
08:02like sometimes,
08:02when we have to feel the scenes,
08:03we do that mechanism,
08:05by the way.
08:06Yeah.
08:06So,
08:06I just wanted to know that,
08:07what is that one low phase,
08:09that you faced,
08:09and just came,
08:10you just got back into action?
08:12You know,
08:122021 was a very difficult phase,
08:15to be honest.
08:16I mean,
08:17what happened in my life,
08:18because,
08:19when I came to Bombay,
08:20the very first day,
08:22I cracked one audition.
08:23So,
08:23everything was going very smooth.
08:25And,
08:26you know,
08:26I mean,
08:27the age was also very low.
08:29So,
08:29that time,
08:29I guess,
08:30Bhagawan,
08:30it's always working on their screen,
08:32saying,
08:32let's go right now.
08:33But,
08:34we learn how to be humble and grateful.
08:37Because,
08:37I never felt how,
08:39it feels to sit at home,
08:41and,
08:42not being selected for any role.
08:44So,
08:442021,
08:44was that year,
08:46where,
08:47a lot of things were not going correct,
08:49in my professional life.
08:50But,
08:50I guess that was really important in my life,
08:52so that,
08:53ah,
08:53I can understand that,
08:54the things that I have,
08:55there are so many things,
08:58and,
08:58I have to be very grateful,
08:59and,
08:59humble about it.
09:00That,
09:00that,
09:04that was important.
09:08Right.
09:09Absolutely.
09:09Also,
09:10I wanted to know,
09:11that,
09:11how much,
09:11do you credit your parents,
09:14into this journey?
09:15100%,
09:15I am sure.
09:16100%,
09:16I am sure.
09:17But,
09:17what happens,
09:19that,
09:19we are so busy,
09:21especially,
09:22our generation,
09:22that,
09:23that,
09:23that,
09:23that,
09:25you will understand.
09:27But,
09:30I just want to know,
09:31what kind of sacrifices,
09:32have they made,
09:33for you to be here today?
09:35A lot of things,
09:36like coming from a middle class family,
09:37or,
09:38a lot of things,
09:39like,
09:40financial,
09:40mental,
