00:00So welcome Rohanika to INS. It is an absolute and very cute pleasure to have you with us.
00:06So I just want to know that we have seen you from your toddler days to
00:11now being this very fierce and power pack girl that you are now.
00:14But I wanted to know that how do you look at your journey?
00:18I think for me this is going to be me being back on screen after a long break
00:24which I had taken to focus on my academics.
00:27And khatro couldn't fall at a better timing because it is my summer college.
00:33And in my summer break I am doing this and I am so excited
00:37that now people will see me as Rohanika,
00:40those who are growing, those who are facing their fears.
00:44So I am so excited.
00:45Right, also correct me if I am wrong, are you the youngest one on board?
00:50Yes, in fact I am the youngest in the history.
00:52So I am super thrilled.
00:55Right. So, you know, as the youngest one on board as you mentioned,
01:00do you, when you see that, when you got to know that
01:02all these people are on board for khatro, what was your first reaction?
01:06I mean, were you nervous?
01:07Were you like, this will go away?
01:09What was it like?
01:10I think I was very happy because I also know many names personally.
01:16So I am going to get a lot of fun and I am with a very strong set of contestants.
01:20So there is pressure to win and that also puts me on my A-game.
01:25So, fingers crossed.
01:26Right. Also, like you mentioned right now,
01:29that this was after a long period of time that you are back on screen.
01:32Right. Was it like a conscious decision of coming,
01:34getting back with a reality show or was it that, like, why not fictional basically?
01:40I think Khatro Ke Khiladi is the perfect fit for me,
01:43because I am someone who loves the adrenaline rush that you get.
01:47I love pushing myself to the limit and of course,
01:52my academics were important with my board years and college was important.
01:57So, doing this in the break just makes perfect sense.
02:01Right. Absolutely.
02:02And like, even Divyanka was part of Khatro Ke Khiladi and she had absolutely aced the game.
02:09She was on top of her every activity that happened, right?
02:13Firstly, did you get to see that particular season?
02:15And if yes, did you get a chance to talk to her before?
02:18Of course, of course, I did.
02:20And I think I am telling everyone that that woman is made of steel.
02:25She is an iron woman and there's nothing she can't do.
02:30I talked to her and like a mother would be concerned for her child going for a show like this.
02:36She has sat down and explained me every pointer to how I need to stay in a very calm state
02:45of
02:45mind and not panic and just relax and take it on.
02:49Also, when you talk about Khatro, it is basically facing your fears, right?
02:53So, what is your biggest fear?
02:55I don't think a biggest fear is there as of such, but
02:59you will know that it's about facing the fear.
03:04And you are all physically and mentally prepared for it?
03:07Yes, I am absolutely physically and mentally prepared for it.
03:11I am just going to stay calm and physically I am extremely active.
03:15I am exercising so that should not be a problem at all.
03:19Right.
03:20And you know, when you like you began with the entire interview and how do you look at your journey?
03:26So, when you see your old episodes, right?
03:31How do you feel?
03:32Basically, when we look at our children's pictures, we have this nostalgic,
03:36I mean, we remember everything about BTS.
03:37I think they are all over episodes and reels and they are all over.
03:44So, when someone sends me, they are like, oh, look at you.
03:47And then I am looking at myself and I am like, oh, wow.
03:49I would really talk a lot for a four, five-year-old kid.
03:53So, it feels nice.
03:54Right.
03:55Also, you know, when we talk about Khatro Ke Khiladi,
03:57we have a lot of comments on social media regarding the show,
04:01it's more, it's less of actual fears and actual activities and more of drama.
04:07So, do you feel like they say that Khatro is a little bit subtly a big boss.
04:12What is your take on it?
04:13No, it's not.
04:14I think Rohit sir is hosting the show and he brings so much action onto his films, his sets.
04:23I mean, the whole point of the show is Khatro Ke Khiladi, it's a new fear.
04:27So, tasks will be challenging and difficult and we will have to face our fears.
04:35Absolutely.
04:36And as you said that you are the youngest one, right?
04:39So, when we have such stalwarts and big wigs of the industry already,
04:44but when there will be activity, right?
04:47They will not probably consider that you are small, so it will be equal for everything.
04:51Of course.
04:51And that's how it should be and I will use them in my advantage.
04:55I will use them in my language because a small packet of big wigs.
04:58That's what I've been telling everybody.
05:00I don't want to kill anything and I will win.
05:04Yes, and how excited are you to be sharing the screen with Rohit sir?
05:08I am so incredibly excited.
05:10I have heard that he doesn't give up and I am somebody who works so well under pressure
05:16that I feel like a mentor like him is going to change me as a person.
05:22I am going to come out a stronger version of myself.
05:25You know, now that I am talking to you, I suddenly feel that this little girl has a very fine
05:29lady within her.
05:30Right? The way your pitch, your tone, the way your usage of words and all of that.
05:36I really wanted to know, whom would you want to credit for this entire girl that you are today?
05:40I think my mother, there's nobody else I'd give this credit to.
05:44She's been the backbone of my entire career and I'm so incredibly grateful.
05:49I've lucked out with parents that support my passion 100%.
05:54A lot of mums sacrifice and that sacrifice goes very unsaid. We don't really, we don't go beyond
06:00certain point to appreciate that, right? If you could elaborate, if any sacrifice in your
06:09mind that you remember that your mother has done for you and that stayed with you till date.
06:13Oh, so many. I think we kids take undue advantage of our moms. She's sitting right here.
06:17But so many, whether it's she's had to really give up on her work to stay on sets with me
06:24because she's
06:24not left me alone for even a millisecond. And I'm going to go to Khadro and she has let me
06:31go.
06:31She's like, okay, it's going to be my first international trip without her.
06:35And I'm ready to take it on as a part of adulting and the growing up process.
06:42Right, right. Absolutely. I think you're pretty much it. And thank you so much.
