00:00Sonia Ji, first of all, welcome to INS.
00:04And, Sonia Ji, first of all, I want to say that
00:06every girl has a dream
00:08that she comes in the industry
00:09and can't walk on the red carpet.
00:14So, how did you feel emotionally
00:18overwhelming?
00:19And did you feel that
00:22this industry is seeing me seriously?
00:26I don't care.
00:27If you look seriously or not,
00:29you don't depend on yourself.
00:30If you look seriously,
00:32you depend on yourself.
00:34You are happy with yourself.
00:36What do you think?
00:38I don't care.
00:40Overall, you talked about your journey.
00:42So, starting with Big Balls,
00:44you have done some work in South.
00:46Then, Big Balls,
00:48and then you have to go to Kansker,
00:50so what do you say?
00:51How do you see your journey?
00:53I think it is so beautiful.
00:56Because in my life,
01:00I am trying to get ahead of my life.
01:01I try to get better.
01:03I try to get better.
01:05I try to get better,
01:06and I don't get better.
01:07I try to get better.
01:11I try to get better.
01:16I try to get better.
01:37From my job.
01:37I try to get better.
01:43I do a lot of outfits.
01:46I understand that.
01:47I try to get better.
01:53I try to get better.
01:54I try to get better.
01:55I try to get better.
02:01When the trolling and memes are viral, do you have a personal effect or do you keep your emotions as
02:07a public opinion?
02:09I'm laughing because I'm making a meme and commenting on you.
02:17I don't know what reality is.
02:19If you don't know the reality, then you get it wrong.
02:25I take it funny.
02:29What do you think that Kahn is judged on the looks of the way of the film?
02:36It depends on the carpet.
02:39Whatever I watch on the carpet, I don't want anyone to go.
02:47There are carpets.
02:49Who will watch and who will not watch?
02:52It depends on the camera.
02:56I don't want anyone to watch it.
02:59I don't want anyone to watch it on the camera.
03:00I don't want anyone to watch it.
03:02You don't want to think that it's going to be for a film.
03:06It's going to be for a film.
03:10You're going to take a film.
03:23How was your experience?
03:24How was your experience?
03:25How confident are you for your red carpet look?
03:27I'm always confident.
03:29But my first day of the carpet, I just watched it.
03:33How was your experience?
03:35What did I do this?
03:35How is your experience?
03:37What did I do this?
03:39What did I do this?
03:42That was very much and the second time.
03:50I was very confident.
03:51Third time, I was very confident.
03:53How did I do this?
03:54when I was watching all the cameras, so I was very happy, and then the two people started
04:03to start talking, I've never seen you at the time, I've never seen you, I think
04:09when I was in the morning, I started to know that, and slowly people started to know
04:13a lot of memes, I watched a lot, that was normal, that's normal, it's normal, that
04:24Because all the cameras and media are all foreigners and they don't watch Hindi films.
04:31So, they don't understand how they are.
04:35So, they don't have to think much about it.
04:38So, what do you think about Aliyah's meme?
04:43So, what do you think about it?
04:49It happens there.
04:51It happens there.
04:53It happens there.
04:54Because there is something like this.
04:58There are all foreigners.
05:00There are many films that they haven't watched.
05:02They are all Hindi films.
05:05Aliyah has done so much work.
05:07They all know everything.
05:12You have a film in your career.
05:17Is it a crucial film for your career?
05:18Is it a turning point of this project?
05:21I don't think that every project I do.
05:25I think that the public will like or not.
05:29It will depend on what I do.
05:31Before I have done it.
05:33And I haven't decided that this is my dream.
05:38I mean, this is my dream.
05:39It will be like this.
05:41I hope everything will be good.
05:45And we will have to think about it.
05:47How crucial is it?
05:49Especially when you both have the identity of reality show.
05:54What do you think about reality shows?
06:10I don't think so much, I don't think so much, and I don't think so much after any reality.
06:17If you get something, accept it.
06:21In the last breath, I think that you are getting more respect for smaller films on the international platform.
06:31Of course, respect is an artist, and there is no big thing.
06:38If you have a small thing in your mind, I think that they don't reach to the big ones.
06:47If you reach the big ones, you have to accept the small ones too.
06:52In your opinion, OTT and social media, is it possible for outsiders?
06:59Or is it possible for competition and insecurity?
07:03I think that if you have a social media, or any other platform,
07:07if you have any artist, then you should get respect for them.
07:11There are some people who have made TikToks,
07:16and they can share with us.
07:20How do I work with our friends?
07:25So this is bullshit.
07:27I think that they should accept it too.
07:29I think that the people who are working on the bottom,
07:33or the people who are working on TikTok,
07:37who have made a lot of artists and people.
07:41So I respect a lot.
07:43I think that the actors who are working on social media,
07:51they are only two minutes of acting,
07:53and after that, the acting is finished.
07:55What do you think about it?
07:56No, no.
07:57If they will get the field,
07:58they will definitely be able to work.
08:00They will be able to work.
08:01And that doesn't happen.
08:03That doesn't happen.
08:04How do you think about acting?
08:08How do you think about acting?
08:18How do you think about acting?
08:20How do you think about acting?
08:30It's a bit difficult.
08:32It's a bit difficult.
08:32But what is the best thing to do is,
08:33yes, it's the audience.
08:37It's the best thing to do.
08:38It's the best thing to do.
08:40I think that in reality show,
08:42people can do good acting.
08:44That needs to get the opportunity.
08:47I think that in future,
08:50I'm going to do a great job.
08:52Bigg Boss has given you fame.
08:54But what did the judgements and fake narratives
08:59It's funny, it's normal. It's good actors. So, I smile on my mind and smile on this matter.
09:09In reality show, emotions are also public and breakdowns. What has that experience made you mentally stronger and emotionally guarded?
09:18I'm not a person emotionally. I can't do anything from myself. I can't do anything from myself.
09:24I can't do anything from myself.
09:29What kind of characters do you want to do in the future?
09:32Do you see a different side of the audience or Sonia Wanzar?
09:36I really like a challenging role in which I can show my acting.
09:41So, I'm watching the film The Last Fifth.
09:46So, it was challenging for me because I had never seen any patterns.
09:50I've never seen a person living in a dream. I played a character.
09:56So, it's challenging for me.
09:58What I've never done.
09:59As a normal life, I feel like it will happen.
10:04I have to add some efforts.
10:06I have to add some efforts.
10:06I have to add some efforts.
10:08In the future, I feel like I can do it.
10:12What do you think?
10:14I have to keep you in the future.
10:15Even for the industry.
10:18People have presence on social media.
10:21You want to go to social media.
10:24You want to advertise your own and you need to do anything or not.
10:29So, you want to make presence on social media.
10:30Look, social media is not presentable. Your personality is the one that you can do.
10:39First of all, keep that priority. I don't keep that priority for social media.
10:45For my work, I don't handle social media. I don't handle my team a lot.
10:53I don't keep that priority for that.
10:55Many people tell me that I don't follow me on Instagram. I follow.
11:01I don't keep that priority because it is presentable.
11:06It is very important to make a grab.
11:08Whether it is social media or your personality or your acting.
11:13It is very important to make a grab.
11:14It is very important to make a grab.
11:16Sometimes it happens when producers and directors are also wanting to make a grab.
11:23They are also wanting to make a grab.
11:28They are also wanting to make a grab.
11:36And they are wanting to make a grab.
11:41If you don't have to make a grab.
11:45I don't have to make a grab.
11:46If you don't have to make a grab.
11:47As an actor, you will have to get yourself out of your followers.
11:53If you don't have to make a grab.
11:56If you don't have to make a grab.
11:59If you don't have to make a grab.
11:59Then you will have to make a grab.
12:01And then you will judge how much you have to make a grab.
12:07Today, in OTT content,
12:09it does involve modern storytelling and modern storytelling.
12:13As an actor,
12:15How do you feel so conscious that you have to do content or not?
12:20I don't like Bolt content because as much as possible, there are a lot of stories and content.
12:29It is better to create it than to do Bolt scenes.
12:33I don't prefer those things.
12:36I feel like my personality comes from that way.
12:40I do not watch bold content or do not do it.
12:48What does success mean to fame, financial stability, critical appreciation or inner peace?
12:55First, I don't need to think about stability in life.
12:59I am stable.
13:00As long as you realize that it has been enough in our life,
13:05it has never been enough.
13:05Okay?
13:07I feel like my life is still there.
13:11I feel like my life is still there.
13:11I feel like my life is still there.
13:12I feel like I am very successful.
13:19So this is wrong.
13:20You do it.
13:21Okay.
13:22Okay.
13:23How do you think about your alternate career?
13:25How do you think about your alternate career?
13:29Do you want to explore business, fashion or entrepreneurship in the future?
13:34Definitely.
13:35I have some other efforts.
13:37I have some other efforts.
13:40I have launched a new project and I have more of my work.
13:43Like I have no other work.
13:44I have many more work.
13:46I do it.
13:46I do it.
13:47So I do not think that my relationship only is acting.
13:51Okay?
13:53Acting is there.
13:54It is my life.
13:55It is my life that I have to become an actor.
13:56And the other thing is that we need to work because sometimes in the acting line there is a financial
14:03issue.
14:05So we need to keep it stable.
14:10The drama industry feels profit from outside, but how do you feel lonely from inside?
14:17As you can see outside, it's not in the industry.
14:20There are a lot of breakdowns in life.
14:22With the breakdown, I feel like there is no understanding to accept it.
14:30People are falling away from it.
14:33As I understand, I feel lonely in the industry.
14:38And it's different to see patterns.
14:41For people's thinking that they are very stable, they will be very happy, they will be very happy.
14:47As you are, I feel like you are all.
14:51How do you handle the dating rumors or personalized speculation?
14:55Do you think that the actress doesn't get luxury of privacy?
15:01No, it gets luxury.
15:03Why not get luxury?
15:05Luxury, luxury life.
15:06But luxury life.
15:10It's not stable here.
15:13It's not stable here.
15:14So it's very stable.
15:15It's very necessary.
15:17Are you currently emotionally available for love?
15:20Or in this phase of your relationship?
15:23No, nothing.
15:24I don't see anything.
15:26I see that something is good.
15:28I will carry on.
15:30First priority is my work.
15:32So I will keep it.
15:34In this phase of my relationship with the family and my friends.
15:35Since today's sonia, and 14 years of sonia, do you have to give her advice?
15:40What do you give her advice?
15:42She will give me too much advice.
15:56I didn't know anything, but today I didn't have any advice, I didn't have any advice, but yes, I would
16:04take my advice.
16:06You were hospitalized in the hospital, so what happened exactly?
16:09What happened exactly? How did you tell me about this?
16:12It was taking my relationship, taking my family, and taking my family.
16:19I mean, it was going on in this life.
16:22So, when it's unbalanced life, you can also be hospitalized, you can also be stuck in the house.
16:30So, it was going on in this life, but now it's fine.
16:33So, did you go to Sonia's relationship or not?
16:37I don't know.
16:39I don't know.
16:40I don't know.
16:42Actually, my relationship is, I mean, it's been quite a long time, okay?
16:47Approximately two and a half years.
16:50So, I'm getting more stable now.
16:54Okay.
16:55So, when you see glamour or controversy,
17:00do you have to prove an actress's hunger and stronger?
17:04I don't have to prove at all.
17:06I don't have to prove it.
17:06I am trying to prove it in my own mind.
17:08Because I am trying to prove it that I am wrong and I am wrong.
17:13So, try to prove anyone to anyone when they don't know anything in your life.
17:16I don't know how many comments and messages I don't know about our lives, they don't know
17:23about our lives, Instagram, Google, they judge me, so I don't have any issue with it.
17:31Because when I know about my life, I will understand that it's okay, it's okay, it's
17:36my life.
17:37They judge me, so okay.
17:39You are still fighting from your life?
17:43Failure, fear, public judgment?
17:45You are losing religions?
17:47I don't fight with anything.
17:49I'm learning something from life.
17:52I'm learning everything from every time.
17:55In fact, I learned a lot from my relationships.
18:00I don't believe that thing bad because it taught me a lot.
18:06It taught me a lot.
18:08It taught me a lot.
18:09It taught me a lot.
18:14I taught me a lot.
18:16I taught me a lot.
18:18I taught me a lot.
18:19After the relationship, I did a lot of meditation.
18:23After the meditation, I realized that the sun was different.
18:29It was different.
18:31It was different.
18:41When I raised my relationships, I didn't follow my relationships.
18:44You don't know what I'm trying to do with my relationships.
18:44I taught me that I didn't do a lot.
18:49I didn't realize that I have their relationships.
18:50I taught me that I would respect what I have to respect.
18:53What did you learn from the relationship?
18:54When you were not here in the industry, how did you struggle with it?
18:59I taught you that wherever you were, you have to move from there.
19:04You don't have to stay stuck.
19:06Whether you don't have any project or you don't have to accept it.
19:11If it's done, then accept it.
19:13If it's done, then accept it.
19:14So I taught you to accept it.
19:17And it's very necessary to accept.
19:19For a newcomer industry, how difficult is it?
19:22It's too difficult.
19:24Why is it?
19:26It's because in this time, there are some weeds in the industry.
19:34I'm not saying anything about it.
19:36There are some weeds in the industry.
19:39There are new people who are coming to the industry.
19:41They will say, I will do this and that.
19:45I feel like anyone is saying that.
19:47So be aware.
19:49Do you personally have faced something?
19:52When you started?
19:53For me, I have to think that I understand people.
19:58So I am aware.
19:59I feel like most people don't have awareness today.
20:04Not aware of what people are saying.
20:06Is it reality or not?
20:08Because you come to reality.
20:11Someone is saying something to you.
20:13Listen to everyone.
20:15You don't listen to them.
20:16Listen to them.
20:17But it's reality.
20:18What is it?
20:19You have to think from yourself.
20:21So you should be aware.
20:22So you must have been aware of what casting is.
20:25Has something happened to you?
20:27Yes.
20:28I was in Mumbai when I came to my family.
20:30That's when I was.
20:30And at that time, I became very excited.
20:34Looking at me.
20:37Looking at me.
20:38And I could say anything.
20:39I was saying to myself.
20:39Just leave me.
20:39I'm going to see.
20:41I don't have any issues because I have told that the seeds are missing.
20:46You have to know who you are.
20:49Who is it? What is it? What does it do?
20:51Why do you want to get to it?
20:52That should be a calculation.
20:54You don't believe it.
20:55I have many meetings.
20:58I will only do two meetings.
21:01And I will postpone everything.
21:04Because I know that there are many seeds in industry.
21:07I am very aware of it.
21:09You will give them a lot.
21:11You will give them a lot.
21:12You will try to see how it will happen.
21:16And zero.
21:18You have the capability.
21:20You will get the job.
21:22But it is not necessary.
21:24You will compromise them.
21:27So, there are seeds that you will say for compromise.
21:30You will try to push them.
21:33Don't do that.
21:34A strong and independent person.
21:41I will say.
21:43I will give you advice.
21:45And I will give them advice.
21:46I will give them advice.
21:48But I have to visit Mumbai.
21:49Mumbai has given me a lot.
21:50You are very important.
21:50I have to give in.
21:51Because Mumbai has taught me a lot.
21:54You can give them advice.
21:59I will give them advice.
22:00be aware. Awareness is very important because you will be misguided and misused and then
22:10you will realize that if you don't do it, it will be better. So I think it is good
22:18to be aware that people will misguide you.
22:44I hope you will feel good. Thank you.
