00:00Salman Khan is a man who's like a child and that's what makes him Salman Khan you
00:06know and in this film he's utilized it very well there's a very emotional side
00:10to the man in this film. I know Diyah when she was not a film industry joined.
00:15So I must say that working with Diyah in this film was like working with family
00:20because I just know her so well for this year. I mean this time I have
00:25in my whole career my first time I change the channel on TV and I have promos
00:31but this is enough. I can't work more than this.
00:41Tumko Na Bholpayenge is where it has completely different emotions throughout the film's journey
00:49and it's it's so well done that each character embodies a certain part of that film.
00:54For example I, my part is that of meheks. Pretty much what I really play in the film.
01:02It's the mehek of the film. Diyah is Muskaan which is literally the smile
01:09because the way she's made you laugh in this film it's hilarious you have to see it.
01:14Me on the other side is more the emotional one. This is a journey of Salman Khan as the protagonist
01:21and me and Diyah are a part of his two different lives and how bringing it together
01:27complicates things at times but beautifully shown. It truly is the title says it. That's what it is.
01:34What is the story about Roshni?
01:38Yes, I can add Roshni but the problem is that I will get a lot of damage here.
01:42Because I can't tell you more about the film.
01:44It's only so much that Salman Khan's two lives in this film
01:53they will not forget anyone.
01:58And in that journey we are all the characters in this film.
02:03It's a very emotional film which is also being commercial it has its attributes of you know the fun, the
02:11laughter, the games.
02:12But in essence I personally think it's one of Salman Khan's best performances.
02:17He's done a lovely job in the film.
02:19What about Salman Khan?
02:20What about Salman Khan?
02:23Yes.
02:24Look at my second film with Salman Khan.
02:29In the first film we were so many people that we couldn't even know each other.
02:35In this film we have been very comfortable working with one another.
02:41Salman Khan is a man who is like a child and that's what makes him Salman Khan.
02:47You know and in this film he's utilized it very well.
02:50There's a very emotional side to the man in this film.
02:53I think, I personally think it's one of his better performances.
02:57What about Pankaj Parashar?
03:00Yes.
03:02Pankaj Parashar is a technically brilliant director.
03:09He's known as a very good technically brilliant director.
03:11But in this film I think from all the way from Jalba and Chalba's.
03:20He's finally reached a stage in his career I feel.
03:23Where he's got amazing growth and maturity in his direction.
03:27In fact in this film he's dealt with all different aspects of the film very well.
03:30He's characterized each of the characters very well.
03:33And of course the fact that he's technically brilliant.
03:36He's seen in every section of the film.
03:39But he's done it very very well.
03:41It's been a pleasure working with him.
03:44What do you want to say about this season?
03:48Diyah, Ravis, India and Awad has seen him.
03:50Yes.
03:51In this film it's been a first time for the audience.
03:54It's been a pleasure working with him.
03:56Inshallah. Why not?
03:59I know Diyah when she joined her film industry.
04:04And I've always said that Diyah is beautiful.
04:13We all know that.
04:14She's gorgeous to look at.
04:16But she has something so beautiful inside.
04:18And she reflects it very well.
04:19So I must say that working with Diyah in this film was like working with family.
04:25Because I just know her so well.
04:27And it was just a matter of different locations.
04:29But Salman and Diyah both felt so much like I was working with my own people.
04:35Very lovely girl.
04:37What was the most fun I had in this film was when I was shooting songs.
04:45When I was shooting songs.
04:45When I was shooting songs.
04:48When I was shooting songs.
04:48When I was shooting songs.
04:51When I was shooting songs.
04:52When I was shooting songs.
04:52And in that whole song.
04:54Every single time we tried to do something.
04:58You saw the naughty Salman do his pranks all the time.
05:01But throughout that shooting of the song.
05:03I have such great memories of even Farah.
05:06And the location we shot in.
05:08And that whole song is just such a catchy song.
05:10That after straight B.V. No. 1, we had to sing one song.
05:14And it was a good feeling to work together again.
05:17Very good memories.
05:19What next song?
05:20The one I have done about.
05:24The one in the disco.
05:26With Salman and me about.
05:28Payal chanke churi khanke.
05:30That one.
05:31And.
05:33Somehow.
05:34In this film.
05:35It's been such a journey.
05:36Because.
05:37Everybody was new.
05:38To me.
05:39Mr. Govardhan Tanwani.
05:40Mr. Pankaj Parashar.
05:42Diyah.
05:43In terms of working with them.
05:44It was my first time.
05:45But Salman being the only other person I had worked with.
05:48But somehow this whole unit.
05:50Mr. Govardhan Tanwani.
05:51Everybody's made me feel so much like a part and parcel of this film.
05:55I really look forward to working with him again as well.
05:57Can you please talk to the music of Video Radio Radio?
06:03Since I was on the first time I watch.
06:06I fully saw Govardhan Tanwani ji.
06:09After she was reading their writers to narrate.
06:13But.
06:14I was feeling forward to a good film.
06:20A good character to play with him again.
06:22When Mr. Govardhan Tanwani came with this role .
06:25I was just a kid.
06:26I met with Panker Ji after the writer.
06:28We were first met with Gopardin Tanwani.
06:34Right now, I'm looking forward to releasing you.
06:37Then after that comes Aakhe,
06:40which is a very exciting film.
06:42After that, for this year, it's been a lot.
06:45I mean, this time, I've been doing this for my entire career.
06:49I've been changing the channel on TV,
06:52and I've been doing a promo after that.
06:53But this is enough. I can't work more than this.
06:56But this year, I will start my next lot of films.
06:59One of which will be Farah's film.
07:03Farah Khan's film with Shah Rukh.
07:04The first time we're going to work together.
07:07Then there is Gopardin Tanwani Ji's
07:10offered me his next film, which will also start.
07:12Then there's Gaurang Doshi's film, next film.
07:15So there's this...
07:16Right now, I want to select three of the best films I want to do.
07:20And as my ratio has always been,
07:22then we'll start in three years.
07:25But right now, it's
07:28It's
07:28Has this been a conscious decision
07:31to work in films which has two heroines?
07:35And has that been a conscious decision?
07:37Which actress, my dear, has a conscious effort to work in a two heroine film?
07:42Nobody.
07:44In this case, it's a matter of getting the kind of work I want to get.
07:48Unfortunately or fortunately, in films where you have two or three or four or five women.
07:53But if I was to get the same kind of work or better role that appeals to me in a
07:59solo film, definitely I'd like to do the solo film.
08:02But...
08:02Do you see you in some film which has a solo goal?
08:06It's coming up.
08:07Aakhe.
08:08You will see Aakhe.
08:10Okay, apart from this, like, two models are working at this.
08:14What kind of experience did you share with each other?
08:17Well, actually, if I tell you something more, I'll give away the film.
08:21So I'm going to avoid that.
08:22But...
08:23I wish Dia and I had a lot to do in the film together.
08:27Unfortunately, we have not shot a hell of a lot together.
08:30We've had our own sections in the film where we have shot with Salman.
08:35But...
08:35An overall view of the whole thing would have been, even if Dia and I had a lot of work
08:39in the film together,
08:41I'm sure it would have been very pleasing because Dia and I go back, like I said, a long time.
08:46So for me, it's far more comfortable to work with someone like Dia than to work with another actress who
08:51I don't know at all.
08:52So I wish there would have been more of us together, but there really isn't.
