00:58I've been doing this.
01:00I've been doing it for a while.
01:02I've been making a lot of fun.
01:06And I've been doing it for a while.
01:10I was trying to reinvent and reinvent and relearn.
01:25We didn't learn social media at that time.
01:29We have to try different ways.
01:59My journey started as a character actor in Bollywood film,
02:04and after that, I had done this album with Grand Mastir, Good Boy, Bad Boy, Mastir 2, 3, 4.
02:11So, my journey was very good. I worked as a talent coordinator as an actor.
02:193-4 years ago, Inspector Avinash had a call for a web series and I had a test the audition.
02:28And I was just going to go next day for shooting in Rajasthan.
02:35So, I had my mother's birthday.
02:38So, they asked me, sir, can I travel now?
02:42I said, no, it's a difficult day because my mother's birthday is.
02:45And I can go again and go again.
02:49So, I said, sir, you have a flight at night and you will have to shoot at night.
02:53So, I mean, I have to travel all night.
02:54I have to travel all night because I have to travel all night from Jayapur, which is our shooting location.
03:01I said, no problem, no problem.
03:02So, as an artist, who is a professional, I went to Jayapur Station Airport.
03:09And we have to travel all night from the location.
03:13And I arrived at 7.30am.
03:17And the call time was 9 o'clock, 9am.
03:19So, the whole night, I had to sleep all night.
03:21So, I arrived on the set, fresh fresh.
03:25And I was introduced.
03:27So, my character was a kinder character.
03:31And in the series, you know, Radheep Bouda, Ugashir Rao Dela, Abhimanyu Singh, and many different things in the television,
03:40web and films.
03:43So, I came to Jayapur and I started shooting.
03:47And after that, the schedule was finished.
03:51And when we ask actors about the agreement, we have to talk about the agreement.
03:55So, I said, sir, we will mail you.
03:58And you will be initialed.
04:00And you will be initialed.
04:01And you will also transfer the amount.
04:03And the amount, the first schedule amount, we will transfer.
04:06So, the shooting was continued.
04:09And I came to Bombay.
04:10And after that, I started following up.
04:15But I didn't get any response.
04:16And I didn't get any response.
04:17So, I got a small amount.
04:21The initial amount.
04:22And after that, the next schedule came,
04:26So, I said, sir,
04:28I said, sir,
04:29I said,
04:29I said,
04:32I need agreement.
04:35I said,
04:36I'm a Sinta artist.
04:37I'm a Sinta artist.
04:38And, according to Sinta's rules,
04:42one artist doesn't sign the agreement.
04:46And technically,
04:47But we, actors,
04:49waiting for the E.P.
04:51I will mail you.
04:52But I did a lot of money.
04:55Then,
04:56I spent a year,
04:57two years,
04:58I spent a year.
04:59I followed up for payment.
05:02And then,
05:03I came to the office.
05:06And then,
05:06I came to the office.
05:06So,
05:07I said,
05:07I'm going to the payment here.
05:09Because E.P.
05:10didn't have my phone.
05:11And then,
05:13I called the E.P.
05:16So,
05:16I said,
05:16Sorry sir,
05:17I was busy.
05:17I said,
05:18I won't have a phone.
05:20And I said,
05:20I will call you.
05:21You don't have a phone.
05:22You didn't have a phone.
05:24I mean,
05:24that's a very respectful,
05:25for an actor.
05:26I've been in the industry.
05:28I left my business,
05:30I've been in the industry,
05:30I paid a 50 years.
05:31You need to get a timely payment.
05:33And,
05:34you've got an agreement.
05:34I mean,
05:35the agreement is for the people who are working.
05:37You haven't given an agreement.
05:39So,
05:39I'm told,
05:40I'm going to do it.
05:41I'm going to do it.
05:42I got two rounds in the office,
05:45and I didn't get a payment.
05:45in 2022 and in 2023. In 2024, my father was very serious and I was able to meet him out
05:59of India.
06:00Our director Sir, Neeraj Paathat Sir was meeting me. Suddenly, we were stuck.
06:06Sir, I said, sir, how are you? I said, sir, my father is very bad.
06:12I was able to follow up for a lot of time for the payment.
06:17The first season was released and I didn't know when it came.
06:22When it came, when it came, I didn't know when I was following up.
06:25The line producer didn't get the phone and didn't get the answer.
06:31So, the line producer gave me the phone and gave me the payment.
06:38He said, okay, I'll do it.
06:40I'll do it.
06:41I'll do it for two or three hours.
06:42And I came to find my father's time.
06:45Then there was a new call called.
06:48Sir, the current AP has left to the production house,
06:52and then I joined the fact that it's a dubbing pending.
06:56So, I said, okay, I'll go with the payment.
06:59Please give me my payment.
07:103-4 years ago, Jio Hotstar has not given payment, how do you continue this?
07:17Then I said that I'm ready to do dubbing, it's my duty as an actor, as an artist, but I
07:25had a payment.
07:27So I'm talking about Niranjee.
07:29Then I called again that Niranjee said that you will be given a payment.
07:34I'm not sure of the dubbing, but I'm already filled with my heart, and I'm going to pay for the
07:42water.
07:42I'm going to go next week, and I'm going for a couple of months, and I'm going to go for
07:46a couple of months.
07:46My husband has been very serious and very serious.
07:49So he told me, sir, that I'm giving them a reminder for 2 days before.
07:55I also reminded them that I'm going to go for 5 minutes, I'm not available for 5 minutes.
08:02So I said, sir, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, 5-6 minutes.
08:06So I got out of India.
08:10Then after that, I came in a half a month.
08:13I called him and called me and called me and called me and said, sir, what happened to dubbing?
08:21What happened to me?
08:22I said, sir, sorry, your dubbing is over.
08:25I said, how can I do my dubbing without my permission?
08:30You know?
08:30And after that, I told you clearly that this is serious issue with my father.
08:35And I'm coming.
08:36And I have done my duty.
08:38I didn't release my payment without dubbing without my consent.
08:44This is a very illegal thing.
08:46So I said, sir, I'm sorry, I've also left my job.
08:50I said, what did you say?
08:51He said, I've also left my job.
08:52Because he hasn't given a payment to many people.
08:55So I've also left my job.
08:55I left my job and left my job.
08:56Now, I didn't have any option.
08:59So I called Neeraj sir.
09:01So I couldn't communicate with him.
09:04Then suddenly, a half a month ago, I realized that this is 2026.
09:10And I'm talking about 2025.
09:12So for one year, there was no communication with someone.
09:15Because all the accountants left.
09:18The whole office was closed.
09:20Because obviously, all of us are left in different projects.
09:21So we started doing different projects.
09:25And then, what happened?
09:27I realized that the second season was released.
09:30And I was shocked.
09:32I said, I didn't have any information or anything.
09:34Suddenly, I got a pro.
09:36And I saw my co-actors and my co-actors.
09:39So I said, hey, I'm not going to do anything now.
09:42It's been a lot.
09:43You know?
09:46And then, when I was talking to Rona,
09:48I made a video for a long time.
09:53But it seemed that it was just like...
09:57And I was doing full of all the time.
10:01I was doing full of all things.
10:02And I had to go to Swiss-anity tendencies.
10:06I'm doing full of all kinds of work.
10:08I had to do some kind of activities.
10:08I had to go through a few of those things.
10:09I was doing all the things.
10:10I had to go through the first six years ago.
10:11Every time that I was working in the first period of a film,
10:12I had to go through the first season.
10:18At that time, I was 51, and at 51 age, I had a lot of lines and dialogues, and I
10:37had a lot of lines and dialogues.
10:37I had to say, sir, I have to rest and I will do it after that.
10:42Because I had a commitment, I had a commitment. Then I called Neerajji.
10:49I told Neerajji that Neerajji was my father and I had a payment.
11:02What is the value of that payment?
11:04What is the value of your time?
11:07When you need a payment for three years, and you have to follow up for three years,
11:13and you have to reach the same level, you have to reach the same level.
11:19And then, I had to call the owner.
11:21The owner asked to say, sir, what's the agreement?
11:26I got all of the messages.
11:27Since then, I've got all of the messages.
11:32Then Neerajji knew that it's coming to release during the 15th May.
11:38And now, why is it?
11:40The 16 June is now.
11:41and then I realized that when I was released and I called the Neerajji and didn't call me,
11:48then they left me a long voice note and said,
11:53that this issue is what we all understand,
11:56that you've also worked on the work and you've also worked on it,
12:00and that you've got to get your payment,
12:02you've got to get your payment,
12:04but you've got to stop a little,
12:06but you've got to stop a little,
12:07I've called them again,
12:09and it's been three weeks,
12:10and they haven't gone back the call and they haven't gone back the reply of voice notes,
12:16and this is the situation right now.
12:20So where do we actors go?
12:23Where do we actors go?
12:24We have no option,
12:27and this issue of payment,
12:29if we need to work on the work,
12:33then what is the issue of working in the industry?
12:35what is the issue of payment?
12:38What is the issue of payment?
12:38We have to tell you,
12:40that you've got to explain the words,
12:45and you've got to explain the words,
12:47and you've got to explain the words,
12:47and what do you say about it?
12:50what is the issue of payment?
12:53sorry,
12:54sorry,
12:54sorry,
12:55sorry,
12:58sorry,
12:58sorry,
12:58sorry,
12:58sorry,
12:59But in the time of shooting,
13:03something happened,
13:05an incident happened to me,
13:11There was an incident with my heart.
13:17There was a very senior technician in Inspector Abhinash.
13:23He had used a lot of different things with me.
13:28There was a very derogatory statement.
13:33I didn't even know about the camera.
13:35It was such a terrible statement.
13:41I won't even be able to say it in front of the camera.
13:47At that time, there were three popular actors in our car.
13:56I was a very serious actor.
13:58We were all having fun in the set.
14:01I was playing the role and I was playing the role.
14:06I was playing the role in the role.
14:07I was playing the role in the role.
14:14I was playing the role in the role.
14:15It's a different role.
14:17But you have to say a statement job,
14:27you have to feel unsafe.
14:30I want to address the role in the media and the interview.
14:40To all the actors, technicians and unit members,
14:45to provide a safe work environment for production company.
14:51It's a safe working environment.
14:53It's a safe working environment.
14:53We talk about girls.
14:56But we are also girls.
14:58We are also girls who want a safe working environment.
15:01And why do we segregate the LGBTQI community?
15:11I feel unsafe.
15:13When they passed such a derogatory statement,
15:19they passed.
15:21And the most important thing in my heart was that
15:29my co-actors,
15:30the big actors,
15:32the popular actors,
15:36my friends.
15:36In the past 20 years,
15:38I was surprised if anyone had said
15:40that senior technician
15:41that who said
15:43that sir,
15:43what do you mean?
15:45What do you mean?
15:47What do you mean?
15:48What did you mean?
15:49What did you mean?
15:50What did you mean?
15:51What did you mean?
15:52What did you mean?
15:52You said that.
15:53No one did not support,
15:54but all the silly and ugly stuff,
15:57and the time,
15:59I didn't give up to it.
16:01and I didn't give up to it.
16:02The impact of the person
16:03that I got into a hotel
16:06After one or two days, I had a co-actor friend who is actually my guru and I was learning
16:12Shastay Sangeet.
16:14He is very small, he will be 20-20 years old.
16:18I had to share that incident with him and I had to share it with him.
16:21I thought, who can I tell you?
16:25The environment was very unsafe because I was looking good at Kinnaar's gatehouse.
16:31There was a crowd, the local junior artists.
16:36I had my makeup room at least 1km.
16:41All the junior artists or the crowd were going on.
16:47I had to say one assistant director, I had two bodyguards.
16:52I couldn't go that way.
16:54I was able to be physically molest.
17:01I could have been raped.
17:05I could have been physically molested.
17:09I could have been raped.
17:09At least 200-300 people.
17:11I felt so unsafe as a male actor.
17:15I am in the LGBT community.
17:16I have another vehicle.
17:17That is a different kind of thing.
17:19But in a set you had to feel about it.
17:21I had to say people just need to get two bodyguards.
17:24I had to go to make a fire, I had to go to make a fire or toillets.
17:29So I wanted to ask the industry that I'm seeing an interview of the people who are watching this video
17:35in the industry.
17:37where are the safe working environments?
17:41We are not insured, we are not taken care of properly,
17:46proper vanity vans provide, we don't get payments time.
17:52So this was not the first thing.
17:54You asked what is the difference in the first two-three years
17:59which I have seen in the industry in the first two-three years
18:01and in this case there is no value.
18:03There is no value of insaniate.
18:06If I am saying that I have gone through the suicidal tendencies
18:10and now I have gone through the payment
18:13without the payment,
18:15the toxic people in the industry,
18:19there is so much toxicity in the industry,
18:22there is so much negativity in the industry
18:24that you have to put co-actors with you
18:28that you have to put in the mail with you.
18:31The first people were not so bad.
18:34The first people were not so bad.
18:37The first people were not so bad.
18:37After COVID, people are getting worse than ever.
18:39they are dying.
18:40They are dying.
18:43I am saying that I was feeling that I am going to be raped
18:49by one of those men there
18:50and I am going to be physically molested.
18:53Now I am an actor.
18:56I am an actor.
18:57I am an actor.
18:57I am a killer role playing.
18:58I am looking at Sunder.
19:00No, it was my job.
19:01As an actor, that was my job to do a role of a transgender.
19:06But if I feel unsafe in that get-up,
19:10then you can understand
19:14what happens with the girls.
19:17If I feel unsafe,
19:20then how many girls are unsafe?
19:22I would like to address the industry
19:27to create safe working spaces
19:29and insurance for actors.
19:31Lastly, what would you like to give a message
19:34to our audience and young actors?
19:42I would like to say that
19:44because my experience is
19:46in the industry of 30-31 years
19:49that
19:50with acting,
19:55you need to do a professional side-by-side
20:01and choose a professional
20:04where you have a regular income.
20:06Because in our industry,
20:07there is no need to be a big deal.
20:09If you have a job,
20:10then after 6 months,
20:11after 8 months,
20:11then you will have a job.
20:13So you have to keep a backup option.
20:16And the other thing is that
20:18if you are doing a project,
20:23then you have to understand
20:23everything,
20:24agreement,
20:25payment terms and conditions,
20:27what is and what is,
20:27what is and what is not.
20:28Then you have to write it
20:28and sign it.
20:31I have to be a Sinta artist.
20:32In the end,
20:35I have to leave the scene
20:36and
20:37it has been insecurity
20:39in the actors.
20:41Because
20:42it's been such a lot.
20:44People say they have so much ego in the actor.
20:47He won't come in the set
20:48until he doesn't get to the contract.
20:51This is a basic right.
20:54As a citizen of India,
20:55as a law-abiding citizen of India,
20:58as an actor,
20:59as a cine artist,
21:00as a Sinta member,
21:01If I have an agreement and a contract, I can fight in the court of law.
21:11If I don't have an agreement, then I can fight with my mouth.
21:15I have messages, I have proof from 2022.
21:21My advice is that you have to sign the agreement and hire a legal person.
21:32We don't have knowledge about the legalities.
21:36You have to have a backup option.
21:39So what do you have to do with Neerajji?
21:40What do you have to do with Neerajji?
21:47Neerajji, I don't know.
21:51I would like to appeal to this process.
21:55Don't do the police, directors, producers, EP.
21:59We are creative.
22:00Don't do the police, directors, producers.
22:01We are mentally tortured.
22:05You know, that we are going through the depression.
22:11And because we are working on this.
22:16For money, for money, for love, for fame, for fame, for fame, for fame.
22:22But the main premise is that we have to get money.
22:26Because we don't have time to time.
22:27And so if you have any money that will pay for money,
22:29if I have money now.
22:31And that is how much money we bring in just the time.
22:32And if I have left my own money,
22:36then there are costs for payment.
22:37Now, if I have to pay for payment now.
22:42That would be a great labor and consumption.
22:45It would be a good sacrifice.
22:46And just listen to the money.
22:49But the money I have to pay for money.
22:50You know, if I have to pay for money.
22:51So don't mind me.
22:52I have to pay for money to get money.
22:52They are eating my own money.
22:52You know, I have to pay for money.
22:54I will pay for money.
22:57When I told you about shooting, I told you about the contract papers.
23:07Absolutely, absolutely.
23:08What did you say?
23:11My date was my mother's birthday on the 19th of March, 2022.
23:20He told me, sir, I'll take you to the same day.
23:24His name is 10 o'clock, I said, I'll take you to the next door.
23:27I asked if I can take you to the second door.
23:30Sir, I will take you to the next door.
23:32I told you, okay, you can take me to the next door.
23:33So, who was the casting director, I asked you to take you to the next door.
23:40He asked me to take you to the next door, then you bail me.
23:44And don't worry about any of those clauses, don't worry about any of those clauses, then we will agree with
23:51you on the set.
23:52And I went to Udayipur for 19th March.
23:5819th March 2022 and now we are in 2026.
24:02Four years.
24:04Four years.
24:05The second season was done.
24:08The second season was done.
24:09And then we had to do the same thing.
24:10No, no, we had to do the same thing as the whole season.
24:17We had to do the same thing as the whole season.
24:19After that, Jio had decided that we would have to do the same thing.
24:23After that, we decided that we would divide them in two seasons.
24:28So the first season was 9 episodes and the second season was 10 episodes.
24:33So we didn't know Jio's story.
24:35Have you ever discussed the course?
24:36Have you ever discussed the course?
24:38Absolutely.
24:39There are a lot of course.
24:40There are a lot of course.
24:42There are a lot of people who don't get payment.
24:45By the way,
24:46I told myself that the course of course,
24:49there are some course of course,
24:52but I don't have to talk about them.
24:54I can't talk about them.
24:55I can't talk about them.
24:57I can't talk about them.
24:57There are some many things I'm sure that I got out of here.
25:10And I have to give a lot of advice,
25:12and I have to give a lot of advice.
25:13I will give you a lot of advice.
25:15I will give you a lot of advice.
25:18And if I get the money,
25:24I will give you a lot of advice.
25:27It's a whole team change, so if we go, we don't have to go, you know, so all these things,
25:36money issues, quarantine issues, agreement issues, toxic environment, sex-per-unsafe environment, sex-per-unsafe environment,
25:57but I know that I deal with at least 20-30,000 actors. I deal with an actor for 18
26:06years, because I have castings in the past 18 years.
26:15I also think that I was insecure at some point.
26:19That I don't want to cut my role, that I don't want to cut my role, that I don't want
26:24to edit my role.
26:26You know, with that insecurity, I also have waited a lot.
26:31But when my father-in-law started to break up in 2014,
26:36I thought, no, now I have to drink water, and I don't have to talk about it.
26:41Then I made a decision, no, now, never, never.
26:45You know, and a respect, a value of humanity, a value, a respect,
26:53that if you don't want to become an actor, what is it?
26:58Why do we become an actor?
26:59You know, a basic human being is not.
27:02And I thought that there was insecurity, there was insecurity, you know,
27:08but I have to talk about this, but I have to talk about this,
27:12so that people have to understand how to manage yourself,
27:17how to manage yourself.
27:19Paraj Ji, we have heard that there are a lot of issues in the industry.
27:22Recently, you also have a film called Showstopper.
27:24No, it's not a film, it's a web series.
27:26Sorry, it's a web series.
27:28It's a showstopper name.
27:29So, the other thing I'm going to ask,
27:31and the payment of your company,
27:33what do you want to say about it?
27:34Correct.
27:36The payment of your company,
27:37I don't know, is that a few months ago,
27:40I don't know,
27:40but I don't know.
27:42I don't know,
27:44but I don't know,
27:44I don't know,
27:44I don't know,
27:46but I don't know,
27:46I don't know,
27:48I don't know,
27:49as an actor,
27:50I put a flight in the morning,
27:52and awful,
27:52I couldn't sleep.
27:54They had great scenes.
27:56And I,
27:57I was,
27:57I was a central character,
27:59important character in my head,
28:01I was in the back of the air.
28:02Shurda Tibari,
28:04Zwarabarak Jain,
28:05Zirad Manji,
28:05Zirad Manji,
28:06Vahil Arirbanji,
28:07Kieran Kumar ji, and many of them were involved in the work of Shifalik Zarivala and her husband Parathiyaghi, Tanaz
28:14Karim, Bhaktia Redani,
28:16all these canyos. But I was constantly working with Amita Dhanbiya, Arti Naathwal and Shweta Pivari.
28:22We were constantly working with the art episode.
28:26So, when we went to Pani Sarge, we went to the office with a director, Manish Harishankar.
28:34The director's name is the producer. They told us that we will release a payment.
28:40Then, after that, we decided that we didn't have a payment.
28:44We didn't have an ODIT final.
28:47But after that, I realized that all the names I received, they got a payment.
28:52But we didn't get a payment for 4-5 actors.
28:55And today, it's been 2026.
28:57And I think I have been a few years since we have other projects.
29:02We don't forget. We are human beings.
29:05We will follow up.
29:06We will follow up and follow up.
29:07And that agreement was made for me.
29:10But it didn't have been signed on both sides.
29:12So, what do I have to say about this agreement?
29:15I have to say that agreement.
29:16I have to go back to Sinta.
29:19I have a copy.
29:20But it hasn't been signed on me.
29:22The new producer has signed on me.
29:23The new producer has signed on me.
29:24The new producer has signed on me.
29:25The new producer has signed on me.
29:31I have a full payment time.
29:33And it's a big chunk.
29:34I don't know.
29:37The new producer has signed on me.
29:41But now, the new producer has signed on me.
29:43The new producer has signed on me.
29:43And the new producer has signed on me.
29:44The new producer has signed on me.
29:44I have a bank.
29:45I have no money.
29:46So, what do I do?
29:49What do I do?
29:50Should it be recorded for Sinta?
29:53That guy walked in.
30:00With the maintenance of two ╨┐╨╛╨║╤Г╨┐als,
30:04I haven't checked onto e.p.
30:06With that agreement in
30:09I also added windows so far,
30:12Even though
30:15I will save myself, if I have to use a legal route, then I will go all my way out
30:22to fight my battle.
30:24This is actually a battle, like come, come, come and fight and you will have to fight yourself and you
30:36will have to fight yourself.
30:36This is a situation in the industry.
30:40Do you think you are experienced actors and young actors?
30:47Yes, very much.
30:50Because I do casting, there is so much exploitation.
30:55Actually, I want to point out that actors are coming in the industry,
31:01that are also the ones who do things.
31:03If they don't give payment, they will also be happy.
31:07They will have to show you.
31:09They will have to show you.
31:10They will have to show you.
31:14They will have to show you.
31:19They will have to show you.
31:36They will have to show you.
31:40They will have to show you.
31:44They will be a leader in the industry.
31:52go through a cleansing process. Industry, I don't know how to do it in Hindi.
31:58Industry needs to be a...
32:01Self-awareness.
32:03Self-awareness.
32:05Self-awareness.
32:06Industry needs to be in Haridwar or Rishikesh.
32:12You need to be in Ganga.
32:14Industry needs to be clean.
32:17Industry needs to be better.
32:23Industry needs to be no status.
32:25We don't have a status.
32:27Industry as a whole, it is not listed in the stock exchange.
32:31There is no industry status.
32:32So where do we go?
32:34I think it's high time that the government of India,
32:39the constitution and the government of India
32:44basically makes the industry and gives the industry a status.
32:47So we can find...
32:49There has to be rights as a law-abiding citizen,
32:53a rightful citizen or income tax paying citizen.
32:57If I don't have a status,
33:01like corporates,
33:03or M&Cs company,
33:04or business,
33:06then why do we have a status in our industry?
33:10You know,
33:11you know,
33:11it's a very much more and more.
33:14It's a very much more and more.
33:17It's a very much more and more.
33:18I'm sure,
33:19many people,
33:19we also have a status in our industry.
33:24Because our industry is so much work,
33:29you know,
33:30it's a very much work,
33:32technicians,
33:34artisans,
33:36stylists,
33:37hairdressers,
33:37makeup,
33:38dressers,
33:38union is there,
33:40but union is not doing anything.
33:42Union also need to take care of the actors, right?
33:46Okay, thank you.
33:47Okay, thank you.
