00:00Cheetah! Cheetah! Cheetah!
00:02I feel the most secure when Ali is there.
00:05This is not a challenge for Ali Fazal.
00:07You do not need to do Ali.
00:09I'm a small independent woman.
00:10Yeah! Yeah!
00:11And it's amazing. It's amazing to be there.
00:14For daddy girls, represent.
00:16Correct.
00:17Why is self-pleasure a bad thing?
00:20Why is Shweta Tripathi receiving backlash from people for a bold thing?
00:25Exactly!
00:26Why is Shweta Tripathi receiving that?
00:29Since you are dating a... sorry.
00:32Dating?
00:33Dating means that every time I have boyfriend.
00:36Is that it?
00:37So you call him Cheetah or Chaitanya?
00:39Cheetah.
00:39He doesn't want to eat.
00:41I mean, I call him Senior Tripathi.
00:45How many likes on this video for a Batata Vada and Vicky Kaushal dance video?
00:49Oh my god! I think I'll love it.
00:53I want to go back to Masan.
00:55And my first question is, when you first read the script for Masan, did you know the kind of impact
01:02it will have to this day amongst audiences?
01:05And also, did you kind of sort of know that this movie might get a lot of critical love but
01:12maybe not box office success?
01:14Yes!
01:14So, when you first read any project, you can't know exactly what will happen.
01:22I didn't tell you.
01:24And Nawaz Bhai said that it wasn't an actor's spirit.
01:28And by that, from what I understand, he meant was that because you have a character, your characters are different.
01:34What's wrong with that?
01:35We'll be happy with that.
01:36So, when you're on a set, your work as an actor is to deliver and to bring to life what
01:41the director and the writer have imagined.
01:44And again, I think also what makes a huge difference is, how do you define success?
01:50I think that everyone is very different.
01:52What is your success is different for me and it's different for every person.
01:56So, now I have to ask you, why do you have to be afraid of this?
02:02Why do you have to be afraid of this?
02:03Why do you have to be afraid of this?
02:04Why do you have to be afraid of this?
02:06Because the fear of this is also the fear that we alter.
02:08Again, your reality is very different from my reality.
02:11We might be sitting in the same room experiencing the same things.
02:15But because of the days that we've lived and the experiences we've had, our reality today is different.
02:21So, I think it's a shame that you have to hold the shame.
02:26Give a tight hug and say that you don't leave.
02:32Be here. Stay here with me.
02:35And then you learn to live with it, is what I have understood.
02:39Also, Vicky Kaushal, what was working with him like?
02:43And were you already friends with him? Did you know him?
02:46I had seen him dance and I was mind blown.
02:50We all laugh on.
02:51So, imagine that I had seen a party too.
02:54And I remember that, in fact, Gunit's success party, there was something that we were celebrating.
03:01And a lot of people in the cast and crew were there.
03:04And at that time, Masan didn't have any fun.
03:06And when I was standing in a chair, I wanted to watch him dance.
03:10Because that is how, he's so easy.
03:13In fact, we did a shoot shoot too.
03:18And which are, again, before the TikTok world came in.
03:21And we just had fun.
03:23I think that was the dub smash era.
03:26Yes.
03:27Yes.
03:28Yes.
03:28Yes.
03:28So, how many likes on this video for a Batata Vada and Vicky Kaushal dance?
03:34Oh my god.
03:34I think unlimited.
03:36I'll have to polish my skills.
03:38Because he's such a fantastic dancer.
03:40Because I've learned Bharatnatyam.
03:43And when I was in the nursery, I've learned that.
03:47But my skin is very sensitive.
03:50I was a guru.
03:51So, I think we can dance off some step-up type.
03:55Even with Punjabi moves and you with your Bharatnatyam.
03:59Oh!
03:59I think that's a great idea.
04:00Yeah.
04:01I think the audiences will love that.
04:04Now, they will bother you in your comments.
04:06Where is that?
04:07We must manifest that.
04:09So, now coming to Mirzapur.
04:11Pankash Tripathi is also a Tripathi.
04:13You are a Tripathi.
04:14Do you have a soft spot for him?
04:17100% Pankash Ji.
04:19I mean, I call him Senior Tripathi.
04:21And he's so lovingly.
04:24He's a subtle person.
04:26He's a subtle person.
04:28He's a subtle person.
04:28He's a subtle person.
04:31But I feel a very beautiful personal connection.
04:35So, what happens is that you favour him a little more on sets because he's a Tripathi.
04:40That's not our scenes.
04:42Because we are in the Golu team.
04:47Yes.
04:48And he's not in our sight in this world.
04:52Eagle Gang and Bichu Gang.
04:54Correct, correct.
04:55But off camera, totally different.
04:58But on camera, then...
05:02So, who is pulling the most pranks on set?
05:06Mirzapur.
05:06You know, Ali does it in a very quiet way.
05:09You know, people know that many times you know that you have 2-3 days after a prank.
05:13That's what happened to me.
05:14So, Ali does that.
05:15Or he'll say the most absurd things in the most serious way.
05:19So, only if you know him, you'll figure out that now we call it out like that.
05:24So, then he gets frustrated.
05:25You guys didn't call for it.
05:28But he's just always added.
05:29You always have to switch on.
05:31Do you know that Ali is saying or seriously?
05:34That's what he's saying.
05:34So, what is this prank that people know after two days?
05:39That's it.
05:41I'm with the rest of the actresses.
05:42So, if I tell them, it's better.
05:47When I heard him, I was like, what?
05:49Does that person know that Ali didn't do it?
05:52So, you've been immune to the pranks until now.
05:55Now, I don't think he can.
05:57And this is not a challenge for Ali Fazan.
05:59You do not need to do anything like this.
06:01He's a good dude, yaar.
06:03But the non-violent dude.
06:05That's the sweet dude.
06:07Oh, yes.
06:08Yes, before the whole room girl came into life.
06:13And Ali, he's a very peaceful actor.
06:16If you try to gossip with him, he'll change that.
06:20So, he's zen.
06:21He's zen.
06:24He's badmash but not in an evil dad.
06:27In a very musty.
06:29I think both husband and wife, Ali and Richa.
06:32Whenever I hear them speak also,
06:34the same is the same.
06:36The same.
06:38Richa, I feel, is a pattaka.
06:40Like, if you're sitting with her, I'm always laughing, learning and always entertained.
06:46Like, it's just, it's just so much fun to be with her.
06:50Bawati, bawati mazadar.
06:52I think she says the most like, fun, bizarre things in a very calm tone.
06:56I remember her clip.
06:59I always remember her.
07:00There was an interviewer in the podcast.
07:02And someone asked her how to deal with trolls.
07:05And she says,
07:08Exactly. And that is so true.
07:11So, tooth bombs are very nice.
07:14So, what is your equation like with Richa?
07:19Richa is because of Masan.
07:21And you know what happens is that your starting projects and the people that you work with,
07:25they define a lot of your journey.
07:28And she treated me with a lot of love and respect and fondness.
07:33So now, because of that, I am the actor also, off screen.
07:39Because of her, because she just made it like a very nurturing and safe space.
07:46And do aap log bhi aasi conversations karte ho like we do.
07:49If I'm going out somewhere, I'll call my friend before and be like,
07:51Eh, what are you wearing?
07:52Show me your outfit, I'll also wear accordingly. Do you guys do that?
07:56This is my friend, my bestie, my cutie Malika Dua.
08:00Okay.
08:00Whenever, in doubt, or if I'm very confident or I'll be, just we love sharing.
08:06And those photos, videos and because I just love Malika's style.
08:12Like, you know, chahi woh decor mein ho, chahi the way she dresses up or she inspires me a lot.
08:16The books that she's reading, movies that she's watching.
08:19So, woh hemysha, in fact, in my chat me be okay, kis kis saath kya chahi hai, kya shoes honne
08:24chahi hai, bag kaisa honna chahi hai.
08:26So, and we know each other very well.
08:29So, she's my, Malz is my bad person.
08:32Delhi girls, no, Delhi girls represent.
08:34Delhi girls!
08:35Delhi girls represent.
08:36Correct.
08:36Correct.
08:37Ek or question Mirzapur ke baare mein jo mere zahhn mein ki, so there was a little, I won't say
08:44bada controversy but a little backlash that Golu's character got for the bold scenes in Mirzapur.
08:51But then we see a lot of other characters and actresses having bold scenes and they appreciate like for example,
08:56I can think of lust stories.
08:58Ki that scene was widely appreciated ki someone had the guts to show that and do that.
09:03But then why is your character or why is Shweta Tripathi receiving backlash from people for a bold scene?
09:11Exactly!
09:13Why is Shweta Tripathi receiving that?
09:16Also, also, why is self pleasure a bad thing?
09:21Why is self love a bad thing?
09:23And why are we making a big deal?
09:25I swear when I did that script,
09:28I didn't feel bold in the sense that
09:32are we saying that everybody over here,
09:35people have not tried it, people do not do it.
09:37So, why don't we normalize?
09:40I don't say that you go and talk about those things about every place.
09:44There is obviously a time and space and place for conversations.
09:47We take love and get so much that the rest of the fights,
09:53whether you are in our home,
09:54or in our world,
09:55or in our society,
09:57or in our work spaces,
09:58we will not talk about that.
10:00That's not bold.
10:01But,
10:03self pleasure is bold.
10:04I don't understand that.
10:06Why is that a big thing to start with?
10:09When you signed Mirzapur,
10:12did you already know about the ensemble cast?
10:14Like, who all did you know that
10:15these people are going to be a part of this project?
10:17So, Sweety and Golu were signed such a bad thing.
10:19Okay.
10:19So, we knew that Shriya Pilgaonkar is playing Sweety.
10:24And,
10:25I knew that Divyandu is going to be a part of the cast,
10:30but I knew that they wanted Divyandu for Bablu.
10:35Okay.
10:36And they wanted Ali for Munna.
10:37Oh.
10:38And then,
10:40what I think,
10:40things were just meant to be like this,
10:43because I think,
10:43all the actors have just
10:45hit it out of the park.
10:46True, true, true.
10:48So, I think,
10:49character character peh lighha hai actor channel.
10:52So, now,
10:52since we are in a bookstore,
10:53I want to do a fun game with you.
10:56Okay.
10:56I will give you some characters,
10:58or some people that you work with,
11:01and you have to assign a book character to that person.
11:05Okay, okay.
11:06So, let's start with Golu.
11:08I would say Golu is,
11:10okay.
11:11I would say Golu is Hermoine.
11:13Okay.
11:14Hermoine who goes and almost like beats up Draco.
11:18That Golu, no?
11:19Yeah, that Golu,
11:20that who also has her information and power through books.
11:24Yeah.
11:24And then also she loves adventure.
11:26Yeah.
11:26Guddu.
11:27Guddu,
11:28I think Hulk comes in my mind.
11:30Because,
11:31like Hulk,
11:32it's like,
11:33you don't have to leave.
11:36Actually, yes.
11:37You are quite right.
11:37And then otherwise,
11:39if you want the beast.
11:40Yeah.
11:41So, in fact,
11:41what we are talking about shooting,
11:43I love,
11:44when we are shooting in Banaras,
11:45or Yuki,
11:46I feel the most secure when Ali is there.
11:49Because I'm like,
11:50I just,
11:50I just go,
11:52he's also big like,
11:53the Hulk.
11:54Exactly.
11:54I feel extremely safe when he is,
11:56you know,
11:57around.
11:57And with our height,
12:01you need,
12:03you need,
12:04strength.
12:04I agree.
12:05I'm a small independent woman.
12:07Yeah.
12:07Yeah.
12:08And it's amazing.
12:09It's amazing to be that.
12:10I think of poetry,

13:37Which is why,
13:37Cheetah and I slept in.
13:39And we went.
13:40And on a way back.
13:41On that flight.
13:43Which was like a 5 am flight.
13:45Cheetah and I were sitting together.
13:47And on flights,
13:47I really liked to sleep.
13:48Or eat.
13:50We started talking.
13:53And I just knew that I want this person in my life.
13:57I did not know in what capacity.
14:00But,
14:00in fact,
14:01I was like,
14:01I want,
14:02he has to be my best friend.
14:03Because,
14:04I was just so happy.
14:06There was an energy that I felt.
14:08And I was just laughing.
14:09And he,
14:09he has this.
14:10Like when you meet him,
14:11you will realize that he has this.
14:14He just makes you feel better about yourself and the world.
14:18And you are just giggling.
14:21And thinking.
14:22And feeling all good things.
14:24So,
14:24you call him Cheetah or Chaitanya?
14:26Cheetah.
14:26I think everybody just,
14:27I think everybody just,
14:28in my house,
14:28Cheetah, Cheetah, Cheetah.
14:30And obviously,
14:30there are a lot of other nicknames and stuff.
14:34But yeah.
14:35Cheetah has a sort of a ring to it.
14:37Exactly.
14:38So, Cheetah's name is Cheetah.
14:40Cheetah.
14:40Cheetah.
14:41So,
14:43if he is a rapper,
14:44why is he called Slow Cheetah?
14:46Cheetah.
14:47Cheetah.
14:49But you should meet him.
14:50You really should meet him.
14:51Done.
14:51Done.
14:52We will.
14:53Made in Heaven,
14:54you have a scene,
14:55where you are almost about to get married.
14:58And,
14:58you have a dialogue,
14:59a line that says,
15:00I am not going to pay someone to marry me.
15:03I am not going to pay anyone to marry me.
15:06That is one scene that changed my brain chemistry.
15:09That scene really stayed with me.
15:11Whenever I have a conversation about dowry,
15:13I just like,
15:14I bring up that scene.
15:15So,
15:16I want your reaction,
15:18your take on it,
15:18when you read that scene.
15:20Wow.
15:21Because it's very powerful for the woman to just walk off and say,
15:24I am not going to pay someone to marry me.
15:27First of all, thank you.
15:28Because.
15:29Thank you for that scene.
15:31And,
15:32but,
15:32which is why I feel that cinema is so powerful.
15:35Because if it can reach,
15:37the right set of people,
15:40and can change the wiring,
15:43and our thought process,
15:45which is why it's so important that what I am making.
15:47For me,
15:48like I said,
15:49thankfully because of my upbringing,
15:52it was wrong, right?
15:55It is not right.
15:57And literally doing that scene was something that came from a lot of honesty,
16:01and my personal experience,
16:03because that is something that I believe in.
16:06Financial independence is so important,
16:08and this is one thing that I would want to tell everybody,
16:12especially girls.
16:14Please,
16:15please,
16:15please,
16:15educate yourself,
16:17read,
16:17ask the right kind of questions.
16:19Because,
16:20when you ask questions,
16:21then the answers that you hear,
16:23your mind and your heart.
16:25This is Shwata Tupathi,
16:27and I just want to say that,
16:30that,
16:31that,
16:31that,
16:33I would love to read something that you all are recommending,
16:37and I would also recommend a few of the books,
16:39that I have read.
16:41Please,
16:41keep sharing good thoughts,
16:42good feelings,
16:43and,
