00:00Welcome ma'am and sir to INS. It's an absolute, absolute pleasure to have you with us on board today.
00:07Firstly, congratulations on the movie. It looks very, very emotional.
00:11Very, as an audience, it kind of heals us also somewhere.
00:15So, I really wanted to know, ki ye hame aisa mehissus ora hai.
00:20Aap is movie, is project ka itna integral part rai hai. How do you feel about it?
00:24Such to ye hai ki ye eek zindagi ka reality jo hai, uske saath jura hai.
00:30Or yeh ghar ghar ki kaani hai, ho bhi sakte hai.
00:35And iska jo message hai, this movie ka jo message hai,
00:39wo yehi hai ki family values are so important.
00:43Saath me rehna ya understanding hona bhoat zhruuri hai.
00:48Akela pan ya ego ki wajay se alag hona.
00:52Yeh sab hote hai magar aakhri mein, end of the day.
00:57Ham log saath milke vaapas us raasta pe aaye.
01:02Kyunki end of the day ham log to sab chale jayenge.
01:05Toh we have to leave a better world for young, for the young people or for the children of India.
01:12Right.
01:12To yehi hai message.
01:13Right.
01:14Aap apne shabdu.
01:16When Paddy came and told this story,
01:20it was not like a story.
01:22It was like the people whom I have seen already.
01:26I saw my father in that, I saw my son in that.
01:30I saw my friend's daughter in that who went through this same problem.
01:35So, it was nice when you hear a story to be made as a film.
01:40It's more of imaginary, romanticized, stylized, you know, all this thing.
01:47This film with this story was very, you know, very straight.
01:51It went to my heart, not to my brain.
01:53So, I thought this will be very comfortable and truthful to do this film.
01:59So, that's why I hear.
02:01There are, it is about true, genuine, not dramatized, genuine human feelings.
02:11Very rarely that kind of films come into the, come in Indian films.
02:17So, I took the chance of doing this film.
02:19Right.
02:20Ma'am, if you could elaborate on your character in the movie,
02:23it would, also, like Sir mentioned his take, why did he come on board?
02:28What made you come on board?
02:30Actually, I, it's Paddy's belief in me that I could play this character,
02:38which made, because I was questioning myself,
02:41because at that point of my life, I was battling stage 3 cancer.
02:45Today, I'm battling stage 4 cancer.
02:48But, the fight, the fight for putting out a message in my life has been the most important.
02:57Because, you never know when, just something goes wrong.
03:03And, why me?
03:06Or, why somebody in your family?
03:08So, that's the message.
03:10We have to take care of each other.
03:12It's important, ki, ham log sab mil ke, is ki baray mein soche, ki, kya kuch ho jai.
03:17To, what, what is the, what is the cause of action, ham log sab mil ke, karna chahiye.
03:24Moral responsibility, jo hai.
03:27Because, aap, ham log, today I am here, kal kya hone wala, who knows.
03:33Fight the good fight, but honestly, earnestly.
03:37Aur, jab picture bante hai, to, uska maksad kya hai.
03:41Ki, ke, ek message jai for the future generations.
03:45Aur, wo hi, wo hi, sachahi ke saath, mein hain ee picture kya.
03:51That's such an honest answer, like it really, really warmed the cockles of my heart right now.
03:56Nafisaj ji, truly I am telling you, from afternoon, afternoon I was trying to tell you this.
04:03Whether this film gave me a message or not, you have passed on a great message to me.
04:10You have made me strong, and the people who are watching, they are going to be stronger.
04:17Thank you for that.
04:18Ah, never give up.
04:19Keep, just keep fighting.
04:20Like I said before, before, I mean, off record, that I've come here majorly to soak in the energy from
04:26you,
04:26the inspiration from you, and that's truly what I mean.
04:29I mean, I'm sure ki jase hume abhi aise feel, there is a lot of energy hara hain.
04:32I wanted to know, sir, aap jab, a ma'am ke saath, when you were working,
04:36to what kind of energy did you feel, considering kiunki hum jab kisi ko dekhte hain,
04:40especially who's battling a certain disease or certain issue in life,
04:44hum hum ki tari vee empathy wale angle se dekhte hain.
04:47But that person may not like that empathy constantly.
04:49No.
04:50I really want to know what was your take.
04:56It's very emotional for me.
04:59You know, sharing the screen with, when Paddy told that she is playing this role,
05:04I was so, you know, I was so happy.
05:08I told my wife that Nafisa Ali is going to, I'm going to, you know, be with Nafisa Ali.
05:16She said, she's not an actor alone, she's a politician, she's an activist,
05:21she's a sportswoman, she's a, you know, a beauty pageant.
05:24And everything, suddenly I got, oh my God.
05:28So, she prepared me, she warned me almost.
05:32So, you better know the persons, you know.
05:36Then I said, I, with all the, this thing, okay, fine.
05:39How to meet her, how to greet her, with all this preparation, I came.
05:44Then I saw a child called Nafisa Ali coming and telling me,
05:50Nasser, sir, for a long time I didn't come in front of the camera.
05:54You please help me how to go up.
05:57I said, what is all this?
05:59See, all this decoration, it's not the human being what, what it is.
06:04She is what she is, that's what I love her.
06:09And even, at that time also, I never knew that she was undergoing this thing.
06:16After the whole shooting was over, Paddy told me that she was going through this.
06:26How a person can be so strong to face her own, you know, challenge and still fulfill the responsibility she
06:37has taken without any strain.
06:41Without any strain.
06:43And after that, I felt very bad to call her and ask about her health.
06:48She is such a great woman.
06:51She has, she is, she is living a great life.
06:55Even though she is going through the painful thing.
06:59Nafisa ji, you are great.
07:03Ma'am, this question is for you.
07:05Like, Jaisal, sir, ne bola bhi ki, unho ne apna experience bhe yaht kiya.
07:09I really wanted to know, how was your experience working with him?
07:12As he mentioned that when he saw you, he saw like a little child in you,
07:15who was, you know, determined and had complete perseverance towards life.
07:19And all positive outlook towards life, despite battling issues that probably would make another random person collapse.
07:26But you being you, motivated him and now motivating all of us.
07:30I wanted to know, what, how, what is your experience working with him?
07:35I have been fortunate in my life to work with very great actors.
07:40Don't tell lies.
07:41And 550 film years old.
07:47Muscle memory, integrity of character, the way you portray your role.
07:55I absorb these energies always.
07:58And that has been my biggest learning in cinema.
08:00Though I have done very few films.
08:02But my master class has always been the greats that I have worked with.
08:08And he is one of India's greats.
08:14Thank you so much.
08:14Right.
08:15Sir, when we talk about the movie, right, I mean, there is this very emotional equation
08:18between a father and son, grandfather and son, grandson, right?
08:22So in today's era, in today's, these questions are both of you actually.
08:26In today's era of social media, or when kids of this generation, or probably our generation also,
08:31are very overexposed to a lot of things that are not needed.
08:34So that that was, when we say, that parents didn't want to be a good bond.
08:40Friends, friends, there is a fancy term, called gentle parenting.
08:45So parents have gentle parenting.
08:47So don't cry with children, don't move your hands, don't even help it.
08:51Don't just talk about anything.
08:51You can keep talking about it.
08:53So that's why kids kind of don't realize the parental equation.
08:58because parents try to be more friends with their kids.
09:00So I want to understand
09:02what is your take on this kind of
09:06generation
09:08respect
09:08guru-janon
09:13considering the kind of news
09:15we hear
09:16in our environment
09:18and in our surroundings
09:18it's very heartbreaking
09:20and very disturbing.
09:21So I really want to understand
09:22considering
09:23that you come from that
09:24where respect
09:26ye front foot hota thamesha
09:28at work also
09:30at home also.
09:31What is your take on this?
09:33You know
09:34whatever I saw in this film
09:37it is happening
09:38in each and every Indian family.
09:41Right?
09:42In South
09:45when you sit in front of
09:48you know elders
09:49you are not supposed to put
09:50your
09:51cross your leg.
09:53No, no, no.
09:54I'm not doing it.
09:55No, no, no.
09:55Now here it is accepted
09:58and in West
10:00it is very common.
10:01No, no, no.
10:02You please
10:03No, no, it's okay.
10:03No, no, no.
10:04No, no, no.
10:05So I didn't mean that
10:07just reminded of me.
10:09So whatever is good
10:12in one community
10:13or it may be
10:15it means something else.
10:17For example
10:18when you
10:19go to Kerala
10:20they will say for no
10:22like this
10:23but that gesture
10:24is very damaging thing
10:26in Tamil.
10:28but
10:28even though
10:30we have so many
10:30difference of
10:31you know
10:32the so-called
10:33gestural respect
10:35this thing
10:36the respect
10:37is the real love
10:38you have over a person.
10:40that's what
10:41we are losing.
10:42If we have
10:43a real respect
10:44and love
10:45you can cross your leg
10:46you can sit in
10:47anyhow you want.
10:49But
10:49are we losing
10:51that love
10:51the real love
10:52that is the big
10:53question mark.
10:54and as it told
10:55the exposure
10:56to this generation
10:57is too much.
11:00When I grew up
11:01as a child
11:01to listen
11:02radio songs
11:04we have to go
11:04to the next house.
11:05But here
11:06the whole world
11:07is in the palm.
11:09And they know
11:09more terms
11:10they know
11:11more things
11:11they are deriving
11:12today we had
11:14you know
11:15Pramo this thing
11:16there are so many
11:18abbreviations
11:20T.T.
11:21O.O.
11:21T.T.
11:22this thing
11:23that thing
11:23it is
11:25sometimes
11:26you feel
11:27jealous
11:28we never
11:29had this thing
11:30but yet
11:31it is not
11:32about the respect
11:33it is not
11:34about
11:34it's about
11:35the love.
11:37Respect
11:37is another
11:38kind of
11:38extension
11:39of
11:42love.
11:43Are we
11:43losing
11:44that
11:44is a
11:44very big
11:45question mark.
11:46And I
11:46don't know
11:47parroting
11:47alone
11:48is not
11:49enough
11:50it's about
11:50educational
11:51institution
11:52the
11:52faith
11:53you believe
11:54everything
11:55takes the
11:56responsible
11:56into this
11:57thing
11:57but we
11:58are trying
11:58to bring
12:00up a
12:00stronger
12:01you know
12:02generation
12:03in future
12:04but I
12:05don't know
12:05we have to
12:05do that
12:06we have to
12:06take that
12:07responsibility
12:07responsibility
12:08I know
12:09it's scary
12:10but.
12:10Yeah
12:11sometimes
12:12you wonder
12:12because you
12:14can see young
12:14people bully
12:15their elders
12:16also today
12:17you can see
12:18old people
12:19being beaten
12:20up by
12:21their own
12:22children
12:22I mean
12:23it's horrifying
12:24how in our
12:26culture
12:27as we have
12:28been brought
12:29up
12:29how are we
12:30allowing this
12:32to happen
12:32what could
12:33it could
12:33the reasons
12:34be
12:34it's a
12:35dangerous
12:36trend
12:36and therefore
12:37protection
12:38from
12:40growing old
12:42is also
12:43the need
12:44of the hour
12:45and cinema
12:47such as this
12:47shows you
12:48the importance
12:50of that human
12:51bond
12:51that human
12:52spirit
12:53that cultural
12:54fabric
12:55that we
12:56are perhaps
12:57also
12:58losing our
12:59town
12:59due to
12:59aggression
13:00through cinema
13:01that is
13:02actually
13:03dividing
13:03India
13:04dividing
13:05the youth
13:05because the
13:06message going
13:07out is
13:09is a bit
13:10dangerous for
13:11the values
13:13that we
13:13have been
13:14brought up
13:15or India
13:15has been
13:16brought up
13:16understanding
13:17and respecting
