00:00Hi Neha, welcome to ANS.
00:02Firstly, a very congratulations to you guys.
00:0421 years is a long, long time.
00:07Like, how has, you know,
00:09how has the roadie journey for you as a gang leader
00:12to go over the course?
00:13I think the one thing that roadies has taught me is that,
00:18you know,
00:18when you're a gang leader,
00:20you can say that you have your voice,
00:21you must always raise your voice in a direction
00:23that you want to use it in,
00:25and, or you wish to use it in.
00:27And,
00:29I mean,
00:30it really has taught me that I have a voice.
00:32It's made me believe that,
00:34you know,
00:36you can be on a shoot,
00:39on an adventure,
00:40you can change lives,
00:42and you can be,
00:43you know,
00:45calling it work as well.
00:46I don't think there's any other job that I do
00:49in my life,
00:50personally or professionally,
00:52where I have so many twists and turns,
00:56so much to learn from,
00:57so much to teach people.
00:59And,
01:00I feel like there's a joy in which,
01:03when you're being put under pressure,
01:05and you perform,
01:06and at the same time,
01:07when you do well,
01:07you're not just doing well for yourself,
01:09you're doing well for other people,
01:10and they also look up to you.
01:12So,
01:12so it's great,
01:12the whole combination.
01:13Right,
01:14I'm having like a fun girl moment,
01:15because,
01:16I love you so,
01:17so much,
01:17you're like the epitome of confidence.
01:19Thank you very much.
01:20Not really.
01:21I mean,
01:21I also have shaky days.
01:23But,
01:23you know,
01:23in a show,
01:24which is so,
01:24which was earlier,
01:25so dominated with,
01:27you know,
01:27male power,
01:28male,
01:30male power,
01:31having your voice there,
01:33and,
01:33you know,
01:33putting your ideas there.
01:36How has that been?
01:37I mean,
01:38it's,
01:39it's,
01:40because I,
01:41in my head,
01:42don't have,
01:43any gender biases.
01:45Like,
01:45I haven't been raised,
01:47thinking,
01:48that this can be a girl,
01:49and this can be a girl,
01:50and this can be a girl here,
01:51and this can be a girl here,
01:52because you're a girl,
01:53or you're a girl there,
01:54and you're standing behind,
01:55or you're a girl here.
01:56But at the same time,
01:57to have respect for people around me,
01:59I think the combination of that,
02:01has never had,
02:02any like,
02:03sort of,
02:04I've never been in a situation,
02:05where I feel that,
02:08you know,
02:10I'm,
02:10I'm,
02:11I'm surrounded by people,
02:13where there's any,
02:15inequality of gender.
02:16And that's been my biggest voice,
02:18even when it comes to the contestants,
02:21where,
02:22I know they come with their stories,
02:24and I respect that,
02:25but their stories are also,
02:26that the girls talk about,
02:27how they're raised differently,
02:28because they're girls,
02:29and this platform,
02:30actually gives them,
02:32you know,
02:33a place,
02:33a position,
02:34and a point of view,
02:35that they can put across,
02:37keeping aside,
02:38the fact that,
02:39they're a girl,
02:40or the fact that,
02:42they're in a place,
02:43full of boys,
02:44but,
02:44it's really something,
02:45that I don't advocate,
02:47it's something,
02:47the show doesn't advocate,
02:49and it's,
02:50it really makes you feel,
02:52one amongst equals,
02:53as opposed to,
02:55less or more powerful.
02:56I'll take a leave,
02:57out of what you just said,
02:58that you've had your moments,
02:59your shaky moments too,
03:00so how do you fight that,
03:02and when have these days come,
03:03because I seem so confident,
03:04all the time,
03:05what's your fashion's autism?
03:07Thank you very much,
03:08I mean,
03:09I have a team that,
03:10you know,
03:10does stuff,
03:11and then I have a very strong,
03:12point of view in fittings,
03:13you don't want to be in the fittings room,
03:14when I'm doing fittings,
03:15I'm just like,
03:15no,
03:16no,
03:16no,
03:16no,
03:17no,
03:17no,
03:17I think confidence,
03:19also comes from a place of comfort,
03:20whether you're dressing,
03:21whether you're speaking,
03:22I mean,
03:23I don't want to talk about subjects,
03:24I'm not comfortable,
03:25I don't want to wear clothes,
03:25I'm not comfortable,
03:26but,
03:27when you talk about shaky,
03:28I think becoming a mother,
03:30has made me very shaky,
03:31I have zero confidence,
03:34when it comes to,
03:36you know,
03:37and I hope it never happens,
03:39but it comes to,
03:40actually,
03:41being in situations,
03:43when I'm,
03:45you know,
03:45looking into things,
03:46like,
03:48God forbid,
03:48once in a while,
03:49when my,
03:49say,
03:50children get fever,
03:53or they're not well,
03:54I'm so shaky,
03:55like,
03:56I'm,
03:56thank God,
03:57I'm married to the person,
03:58I'm married to,
03:59because,
04:01I feel like,
04:02he has to control,
04:04you know,
04:04a child who's not well,
04:06and at the same time,
04:06me,
04:07because I'm just nervous,
04:08I'm,
04:08the one thing,
04:10and strangely,
04:11I feel like,
04:11you know,
04:12all these years of,
04:14and there was very little,
04:16but it's right,
04:17like,
04:17you know,
04:17nothing would make me nervous,
04:18because I'm,
04:19not scared of winning,
04:21losing,
04:21proving a point,
04:22not proving a point,
04:24being right,
04:24being wrong,
04:25being told what's right,
04:27being told what's wrong,
04:28whatever,
04:29like,
04:29you know,
04:29that kind of stuff,
04:30has never troubled me,
04:31because I'm just like,
04:31hey,
04:32live in the moment,
04:32life is too short,
04:33you don't have to worry about it,
04:34but that entire ball of confidence,
04:37gets fully deflated,
04:38because I'm just like,
04:39I hope my children are okay,
04:40I hope they're fine,
04:41even now,
04:41when I'm doing my interview,
04:4390% of my brain,
04:44is just consumed with,
04:45child talk,
04:46and then there's 10% of me,
04:47that's just this confident person,
04:49also like,
04:50since you talked about being a mother,
04:52you know,
04:52and this show,
04:53this show has like,
04:54a very polarized view,
04:56you know,
04:56on the internet,
04:57in terms of like,
04:58parents being very,
05:00having PC over,
05:01what kids should watch,
05:03because they think,
05:03it's kind of,
05:04really awesome,
05:04and kids love it,
05:05and,
05:06I mean,
05:06I'm like a big,
05:07low-key star,
05:08so,
05:08yeah,
05:09and kids are also,
05:10I mean,
05:10kids love it too,
05:11and that's where the polarization
05:12comes from,
05:13you know,
05:13like,
05:14yes,
05:14polarized views,
05:15so what do you say about that?
05:16Well,
05:17I think that,
05:20you know,
05:21there's me,
05:23who's a gang leader,
05:24on roadies,
05:25there is me,
05:26who's a mum,
05:27who kind of,
05:30watches over the content,
05:32that my children consume,
05:33having said that,
05:35my daughter's eight,
05:36and,
05:37I've met enough,
05:38and more eight-year-olds,
05:39who are like,
05:39you know,
05:40we want to grow up,
05:41and become roadies,
05:43I think today,
05:44on this show,
05:45there's a huge,
05:46highlight around,
05:48oh,
05:48tum roadies,
05:49pejauge,
05:49or tum gali doge,
05:51or ek dusre ko dhaka doge,
05:52that's not what it is,
05:53we're in decade three,
05:55we,
05:56there are,
05:57there are stars,
05:59made out of these contestants,
06:01there are lives,
06:02that are changed,
06:03there are people,
06:04who get meaning,
06:05last year,
06:05I think we had,
06:07this wonderful lady,
06:09who was,
06:10I think,
06:10in her late 50s,
06:12or in her 60s,
06:13and she came on the show,
06:15and you know,
06:16it brought in,
06:17so much meaning to her,
06:18some people come here,
06:19for themselves,
06:20some people come here,
06:21because it's their parents dream,
06:22some people come here,
06:23because this is what they want to do,
06:24or give it one good shot,
06:26and why not,
06:27and I feel like,
06:28every reason is great,
06:29so today,
06:30if there are young kids,
06:31who,
06:32you know,
06:33are sitting and watching content,
06:35or consuming roadies,
06:36as a show,
06:37of course,
06:37with their parents,
06:38sitting next to them,
06:39I don't see anything,
06:40wrong with it,
06:41and I'm just ordered out,
06:42with my children,
06:43seeing me on TV,
06:44because I just want them,
06:46to know that,
06:46this is their mom,
06:47who's telling them,
06:48eat your greens,
06:49go to bed on time,
06:51read your book,
06:51and hey,
06:52your weekends are your weekends,
06:53so own them,
06:54but that's my life philosophy,
06:55I don't want it to like,
06:57that one,
06:57don't want them to get like,
06:58confused between the two people,
07:00that's all.
07:12I don't know about my most famous,
07:15or most popular roadies,
07:16pop culture reference,
07:17I mean of course,
07:18the two one,
07:19the two that I get a lot,
07:20is Tu Bane Ga Rodi,
07:22and it's her choice.
07:24Thank you,
07:25thank you.
