00:00Welcome to INS and let me begin by complimenting all of you.
00:04You look so beautiful, you look so beautiful, you look so beautiful, and I also heard their conversation about sardis.
00:11So, how was it like working on the set?
00:15It's one of those rare instances where I'm interviewing all women team.
00:19So, you were also interested in the set.
00:21So, what was the conversation like when you were interested in the set?
00:27I think I did not enjoy as much as they did, because there were other duties.
00:33But as much I could interact with them, I think complete, we must, you know, the way we talked about
00:45personal experiences,
00:46how did it happen, how did it happen, how did it happen, how did it happen, how did it happen,
00:51how did it happen, how did it happen.
00:51Or, you know, there were love stories, or, Samita ji is a very good storyteller.
00:58So, I remember now, because I had a lot of questions asking me about what to do, what to do,
01:04what to do, what to do, what to do.
01:06So, they told me that I had to listen to a story, but I need 45 minutes.
01:11I remember now.
01:12I remember thinking that I have 45 minutes today.
01:14I remember when I was in a short, in a short, in a short, in a short, in a short,
01:17I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:20It's the whole arc that's worth 45 minutes.
01:25So, they have heard that story that I haven't heard.
01:27I remember that story, but I remember that story.
01:30So, you know how girls are, you know, women are.
01:35We have a wide range of subjects, especially because they are all very opinionated women, very mentally stimulated sort of
01:47women.
01:47You know, so, whether we talk about politics, whether they are very inquisitive, curious, you know, whether we talk about
01:56art, food, cooking, children, love affairs, everything.
02:04So, when we talk about love affair, I just wanted to know that there was something new in the set
02:13that you guys were shocking or something.
02:17Anybody?
02:18I don't want to.
02:20No, no, no.
02:21We don't have anything about it.
02:22I just don't know.
02:23I just don't know.
02:24It is not about your question, but I am asking you when are you going to get married, but this
02:30is not the answer.
02:31The entire world has been asked.
02:33I am not going to get married.
02:36The nation wants to know.
02:39You are doing something that you are doing.
02:43I am not going to get married.
02:48No, but then.
02:52It is not about what you are doing in your life.
02:56It is generally talking about what you are doing in your life.
03:03But Samitha is looking for my relationship.
03:06Yes.
03:06That is not your wife.
03:08A good woman and a good thoughts.
03:13Why not a marriage?
03:14It is a very good and good thoughts.
03:20This is something that we have been seeing in the last 10 years.
03:25Women who are very, very, you know, who have done so well in life and they think a lot before
03:32settling down marriage.
03:33This is what we have seen in the last 10 years.
03:36This is what we have seen in the last 10 years.
03:39But having said that, you know, I mean all of them are married and two of them have children also.
03:46Having said that, I would say that every one of our journey is happening.
04:09I am a believer of the institution of marriage.
04:17I am not a believer of the institution of marriage.
04:19But I have to admit that growing up or for the longest time, I would say that marriage was never
04:29my priority.
04:30It was always my career.
04:32I am a believer of my priority.
04:33When we were little, I remember, in my childhood, my cousins, when we had friends with them,
04:39they would always meet the children.
04:41So I would ask everyone, what would you do to do to do to do to do to do to
04:45do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to
04:50do to do to do.
04:55So, I used to judge big time, you know.
04:59So, I…
05:01I…
05:01My career was very necessary.
05:03My parents also told me,
05:05why do you…
05:06You know, I got success in my life very late in my life.
05:10When I started in 16, 17 years,
05:13then I got success in my life,
05:15I was already 29, touching 30 by the time Tanu Manu and all those films came, Queen and all.
05:21So then, I would say that all the things that I would say
05:26I don't think I would say that as far as I would say,
05:28I don't think I would say that as soon as I could grow,
05:33I could not say that.
05:36I felt that it was a very different way,
05:40so that I felt that I would say that
05:40I felt that in my life always,
05:43that that I felt a drastic arc is going to be.
05:45And that I felt that my opinions would be,
05:47or my likes, dislikes would be changed.
05:49After that, there were some situations like Durbhagyapurna, and then like I said, you know,
05:56but anyway, like I said, Samita Ji, you are looking for a relationship with me.
06:01And that's how it is.
06:04India has made your wedding in the past.
06:06Yes.
06:07Yes.
06:08Actually, with Mangal Sutra and that's how you married.
06:13Yes.
06:14I'm just now talking about the film.
06:16This is based on 26-11.
06:25Everyone, they have their own story, that night.
06:29I would like to know from you,
06:32what it was that night and around the last 3-4 days.
06:36That emotion, that feeling,
06:38and that feeling,
06:39your memory,
06:42and your memory,
06:43that you have to move,
06:44that you have to be able to feel the scene or the visual,
06:45that you have to be able to enjoy.
06:50The trailer launched,
06:51I also told you about the premiere of a film.
06:54I was on the premiere of the film.
06:55It was on the screen.
06:56It was on the phone,
06:57and I had to stop the film and stop the film.
06:59because we all knew that something was very big.
07:03Then we were all out of the film,
07:08and we started talking about how to go out,
07:10how to go out, how safe is or not,
07:12because we didn't understand.
07:13So some people came out out of the room
07:16and then we had a friend's house
07:18and then we had a whole night
07:20to go out there.
07:23Our friend's mom and dad
07:24kept us all in our house
07:26and so many people came out.
07:30So that night was the same.
07:31We were all watching news.
07:33I didn't understand what was going on.
07:35At that time, I didn't meet my husband.
07:38I didn't know our knowledge.
07:39But now I know that that day
07:41my husband was going to Leopold
07:44with my friends.
07:46And at the end of the time,
07:48their plan changed.
07:50Literally,
07:51they crossed the platform
07:52to the other side.
07:53They were on the other side.
07:55They were on the opposite side.
07:57Otherwise, they were on the other side.
08:00They were on the other side.
08:00So maybe they were on the other side
08:02or Leopold or Leopold
08:03or at that time.
08:05So I know that now.
08:07I know that.
08:07On the other hand,
08:08there was a story that was linked to me.
08:23I died in the trailer.
08:37I was on the other hand.
08:39So now we have a photograph of the CST station, which was on every news channel.
08:48It has been damaged in our memory.
08:50The bag, the shirt, the bag, the shirt.
08:54We remember the whole visual.
08:56It was the get-up.
08:58And as I saw it, it stopped for 2 seconds.
09:02Because it has been damaged in our minds.
09:05And it has all the memories that we saw at that time.
09:11So this was the time to create the film.
09:16I'm sure all of these memories will be different.
09:21After doing this film, I always think that we feel very important to us.
09:30But I want to share one incident.
09:33I want to share this script.
09:35When this script came to me,
09:37and when this film is not only in 2016,
09:41this film is not only in 2016.
09:42There are nurses who are pre and post this film after this film.
09:46And it is truly a great journey.
09:49The way they are in all situations,
09:53the film is being,
09:54we are standing up and then,
09:55and after that,
09:56how the life has changed.
09:57How it has changed its way of being.
09:59This is a very tragic layering in the film.
10:03So when you study this script as an actor,
10:07then you think,
10:09what's the character of this history?
10:12What is this story?
10:12What is this story?
10:13What is this story?
10:14When you are in the character,
10:15you think that this character
17:38I think it's a patriarchal view.
17:40I think it's a patriarchal view.
17:40So, when the lens will slightly change,
17:43it will not come.
17:46So, I think it's a little bit changing.
17:49People are more aware.
17:50First, the things that were easily passed
17:52were made by a woman,
17:55they said very nonchalantly.
17:57So, someone didn't think anything.
17:58We were all looking at the same lens.
18:01So, now, because the lens is slightly
18:02removed from our eyes,
18:04we think,
18:05why are we saying this?
18:07Why are we saying this?
18:07Why are we saying this?
18:08We are starting to understand.
18:09So, it's a good thing
18:11that it's going to happen.
18:12If this lens is changing,
18:14and it doesn't go extreme,
18:16I think there will be a very positive change.
18:20Yeah, I agree.
18:21So, the whole thing about
18:25to see everything from this perspective
18:28of trolling, trolling, trolling
18:31may not be good because I think
18:33somewhere south films have also resonated a lot
18:36with the whole of India
18:39because there is a regional touch to it.
18:43and aapka milieu kya hai,
18:46aapka background kya hai,
18:48agar aap kisi koi mazdoor kisi bar mein jata hai,
18:51just to have an easy night out.
18:54Aap aap social media pe uske
18:56cha shots dekke ho halah kareenge.
18:58And maybe that person is a grey character.
19:02You know, toh ik abhi film koi nahi nahi hai.
19:06I don't know.
19:09I don't know.
19:11I don't know.
19:11I have no idea.
19:12But the extreme trolling of every subject is not good.
19:45And it is also going down, down, down, down.
19:47because eek joh joh humare joh audience hoate te te.
19:52They are drifting into a sort of you know.
19:55Toh har cheez ko dhyan mein rakte huye.
19:57I personally feel this culture of trolling should end and people should if they don't like something they should just
20:05pass and
20:07Self-awareness is very important, but at the same time
20:21So all this is is actually very frivolous to even to comment on you know, so
20:28Film industry ki baat apne chedi aur yeh sab ke liye valid hai ki that like there is a lot
20:33of concern in last few years, especially post covid
20:37That's going down down. Suddenly one film comes and bhot bade hit ho jate hai
20:42And then people have this ray of hope that you know people are coming back to theatres now
20:45And then suddenly us ke baad phir you know kate hai hai sukhha phir se ho ho jata hai
20:51Kangana you have been part for so long and you have been you have given biggest hits
20:58Koun sa ik jyase ki bhot analysis ho rhi hai, but if I ask your POV what is your POV
21:03why you know people are not coming to theatres or why films are flopping
21:08Jho bhi aapko
21:09People are not coming to theatres kyunki unke paas itne zyadha
21:14Alag-lag mediums bhot ho gae hai unke paas
21:16So screen joh hai chhoti chhoti hote hote hote hote hote tv se woh phone pe bante bante
21:23I remember aad se das saal pehle
21:27Shikhar Kapoor ji ke saath hum kuch baat chal rhi thi
21:30Film ho ko leka
21:31Toh unho ne us wakt kaata ki anybody
21:33Kangana in future anybody who has a camera will be a director
21:38Toh maine us time pe sucha aisa thudhi ho sakta hai anybody who has a camera will be a director
21:41Toh maine us time pe sucha aisa thudhi ho sakta hai anybody who has a camera will be a director
21:41Toh unho ne kya anybody who has a camera will be a director
21:45Woh aaj eek saast fiktah hai dho dho minute ki film me loog bana rhe hai, comedy bana rhe hai,
21:49thrill bana rhe hai, trainon pe latak jah rhe hai, khanay bana rhe hai, aapko
21:53Toh ye eek sachai hai, badalti zamane ki
21:57Toh kahi na kahi film me bhi apna wajud black and white se colored aya thay, silent se talki aya
22:03tha, phir uske baad me sab digital ho ne laga
22:06Ab hum film me bhi eek tarah se evolve hoongi
22:10Aysa kuch nahi hai, ke loog joh hai, woh dhek rhe hai, but chute-chute alag-lag divert ho gaya
22:15hai medium se
22:16Sab sada addict toh mere khud ke ma baap hai, parents hai, an addict to face book, toh sara din
22:23face book joh hai dhek te rhat hai, toh is tarah ki abhi hai cheez hai, but hopefully we'll find
22:31a way around it
22:32But your industry, aapke industry ke loog and big directors and filmmakers they keep saying that one of the reasons
22:39why like when big films do not work that
22:42So having said that, I think films need to evolve and eek tarah ki price, the star ki price ho
22:44tii hai, woh bhoat zhaadha ho tii hai and woh poora economics, you know, bharbaad kar di ti hai
22:49Dekhye, woh toh, see, woh toh obviously context mein, jab film nahi chalegi toh value toh bhoat zhaadha lagi na,
22:57aap jis tarah se kharche kiya kertte te, kabhi kisi agar ghar mein, toh uske amdini utni na ho, toh
23:01woh kharche, chhote se chhote bhi ap kitna unko woh karengi, chhote karengi
23:06So having said that, I think films need to evolve and eek tarah se jis tarah se society evolve hori
23:15hai, they need to keep evolving themselves
23:16So having said that, I would like to add something that I always think, I always think, I don't have
23:24much of my knowledge in this vision, but as I always think, I always think that
23:30There is always a person that always finds a relevance, in any case, in any case, wherever, our relevance is,
23:37we are seeing, or we are seeing larger than life visuals
23:41So having said that, I always think that the relevance of the cinema and common audience, I always think that,
23:48I always think that, I always think that, I always think that, I always think that it will be a
24:07attraction point
24:17And that's also probably why regional films work better, because they are more connected with the logo, like Kangana Ji
24:23said, South Indian films, we feel pan India good
24:26Because it is pretty much that it is also more of an amusement event and what we think about as
24:30a part of the cinema, of the cinema and film itself
24:30Pushpao, when we had a majdour hero, laborer hero, all of them lives in Hindi films, in Mr Bachchan's time,
24:40he was coolie
24:41Exactly, he was coolie, exactly
24:42So when we think that that relevance of what we think will come, now that a helicopter is coming, how
24:49do we think that the chopper is coming
25:03I have read a lot about your theatre experience and when I was researching, you are also very
25:10popular but when you work with a theatre artist, what do you pick from each other?
25:17I have a lot of theatre background but obviously Samita Ji is very popular. I think overall
25:25they have put it in a way that you can't tell them that they are a theatre artist.
25:37Obviously theatre is more body-language oriented and movie acting is lens oriented.
25:45So there is a lot of sophistication, I think, like Irvān Sahib has put it in finance,
25:57theatre can be seen in the theatre, but it is very natural.
26:05I think it is very important to me that theatre actors will always see the best work in films,
26:16Thank you very much.
27:08Thank you very much.
27:33Thank you very much.
