00:00Ravi Ji, first of all, welcome to INS.
00:02First of all, do you want to go from the beginning of your journey?
00:09How do you see your journey as an actor and as a person?
00:16Thank you so much. It's a pleasure to be here.
00:20How do you see your journey?
00:22I am a young man.
00:24I am a young man.
00:26I am a young man.
00:29I see it as a profession, not just as an actor.
00:34There are faces in everyone's lives.
00:36When I am confused, when I was in the beginning,
00:40before I started acting, that is.
00:43I want to do what I want to do.
00:45I have to understand and understand.
00:47I have to enjoy the work.
00:50I am a young man.
00:52I never planned to be an actor.
00:56But yet, here I am.
00:57And I love my job.
00:59I have had my options down in my career also.
01:01In the sense that, I have had an unblank break.
01:06And now I am back.
01:08And I am doing my best.
01:11And now I am at Home.
01:14How many choices have you done over before,
01:15and things can be done over the years.
01:15You are also missing as many shows.
01:17There are many changes in TV shows,
01:18how many changes do you think?
01:23As long as you can,
01:24how many changes do you feel?
01:25And how many changes can happen over the years?
01:25Well, this will increase its progress,
01:28technically as of course.
01:31I guess,
01:31Because we compare the technical options, the world of us has been used in the world.
01:38With the same camera we use, the same as the person who has seen, the same as the person who
01:46is seen, the same as the person who has seen, the same as the person who has seen.
01:48It is vast, it has grown exponentially and will continue to improve.
01:54Because your role is pivotal, what is the character that will surprise the audience to the audience?
02:03The surprise was that they expected me as the nominee to be negative because I was a negative character in
02:13the last season.
02:14The surprise was that the audience waited for a long time, so now he will do something.
02:19So he was an anti-climactic character.
02:23He turned out to be a very real person, with very real issues, not very dramatic.
02:30So, yeah, I think that's the best part about it.
02:33Usually, we talk about actors, so they have to say that if you play a negative role, then you get
02:40a chance to show a lot of emotions.
02:43And if you play a positive role, then you get a chance to play a positive role.
02:49So, how do you agree with that?
02:51Or do you have a negative role?
02:53Yes.
02:55Look, obviously, because negative characters are so much, at least one time, when they are very obviously negative.
03:04If they are negative, then they will be evil.
03:07Meaning, they have less realism.
03:11They have been underlined every thing.
03:14So, yes, you get a lot of things to do, but there was no variation, there was no depth.
03:21And vice versa, the same for positive characters also.
03:26When they are positive, or women are talking about women's characters,
03:31So, when they are positive, they will be evil.
03:35So, there is no variation.
03:37But now, I am seeing a change.
03:39Even in daily soaps, even in…
03:43I am seeing a depth in the characterization, which is very accurate.
03:46As you said in daily soaps, you have seen a depth in the daily soaps.
03:50I feel that sometimes, especially when we talk about women's characters, there will be changes.
03:57There will be changes in script writing or screenplays.
04:00I mean, people are connecting a lot more with today's women's characters.
04:07Yes, absolutely.
04:08Because at one time, there was a sort of stigma in television and in daily soaps, particularly.
04:15That women are more submissive.
04:19You know, there is no realism.
04:20There is a lot of realism.
04:20There is a lot of sense that you have to sacrifice for the whole family.
04:24So, what is being said in the past.
04:27It is not…
04:28It is not uplifting for women.
04:31It is not uplifting for women.
04:31Now, it is not because of what I have seen.
04:33The characters evolve.
04:35Or the characters are showing the characters,
04:39where they are talking about abuse,
04:41where they are talking about marital rape.
04:45So, there are a lot of things about these things, which is very important.
04:49And because of the show, it is very impactful.
04:53How special about Balaji with her?
04:56And what did you give this show?
04:58What did you give this show?
04:59Look, this show has given me a lot.
05:01It has given me a lot.
05:02It has given me a lot.
05:04It has given me a lot.
05:05And Balaji is one production house.
05:07I have done the most part with Balaji.
05:10I have done the most part with Balaji.
05:10I have done the most part with Balaji.
05:13So, it has been a very long, wonderful, positive relationship with Balaji.
05:19And I will continue this.
05:21In real life, you are talking about the real life characters.
05:27So, what similarities do you think about the characters?
05:30I have done a lot.
05:31I am doing a play in my own way.
05:34Which way I am.
05:35Because there is a normal family.
05:39There is a husband and wife.
05:40There are normal issues.
05:42Sometimes there are problems with money.
05:44Sometimes there is a future.
05:45There is a social work with them.
05:46Or a child who is doing an affair.
05:49Or is in love with them.
05:50So, there is a lot of real issues.
05:52And I am very grateful.
05:54Maybe if I am in this situation.
05:56I am also doing it like this.
05:58And then I am doing it like that.
06:01In real life, you have seen that the social media presence is very noticeable.
06:06So what do you think that social media is important for actors and actors?
06:11100%
06:13I don't say that you can't work without social media without social media
06:16But it's a very large extension of our profession
06:21And you can utilize social media a lot
06:31I have explored another aspect of my professional life
06:36I always study poetry
06:39And I also wanted to study
06:42My father does, my father does
06:44So I was very inspired by him
06:47And I also wanted to study
06:49So I always save myself
06:56And I just started reading that
06:58And I love it
06:59Not just because I like it
07:02Of course
07:03But I feel very good
07:04So I got to explore some new things through social media
07:10As you said that you have a lot of shock of poetry
07:14So what is your favorite poetry that you always find in your mind
07:20If you can hear something
07:22What is your favorite poetry?
07:23Look, there were a lot of things
07:25I have learned something
07:27I have learned something
07:31That a woman has so much
07:34And the idea of this thing
07:36You can think of this
07:38That no one will make a woman for her heart
07:43So it really stuck with me
07:46That no one is supposed to be
07:48No one is supposed to be
07:50No one is supposed to be
07:51You are talking about the acting legend
07:52Your father Rajinder Gupta Ji
07:53He is a legend
07:55What did you get to the acting
07:56Apart from that
07:57What did you get to the learning of acting?
07:58What did you get to the acting?
08:01His passion towards his craft
08:06He is
08:07I mean, he is not working
08:09He is an actor
08:12Through and through
08:13Every bit of him is an actor
08:16And he is constantly learning
08:17He is constantly reading
08:19He cannot sit still
08:20And that is what inspires me
08:23Have you ever felt like
08:25With the expectation
08:27And comparison
08:29No
08:30Because I didn't tell people
08:33Who is my father
08:35No
08:35I have taken myself
08:37I have taken myself
08:39Because
08:41I want to make him proud
08:43So I don't want to do anything
08:44With my father
08:46That is what motivates me also
09:01I think it will be fun
09:03I think it will be fun
09:04No joke
09:04I think it will be fun
09:08You have a lot of fun
09:10I think it will be fun
09:10You seem like television industry
09:10Similar to you
09:12How that série
09:16You have a lot of time
09:16Some people who use
09:18like the television industry and the imanimate industry
09:21What do you think of OTT?
09:23What negative effect is that?
09:27I don't think of it. OTT has added such an incredible dimension to television
09:32There is a television here, we are watching TV
09:37And in OTT the freedom creatively
09:40The television has self-imposed on its own
09:44It works, it doesn't work
09:47We are very creative in OTT
09:49And we are watching this level of writing
09:54In fact, I am thinking of OTT because of the television
09:58In your opinion, the stories we are watching
10:04If there is a television show
10:08People are watching these stories
10:10People are watching these stories
10:11In other channels, in other shows
10:13I am thinking of Rohit Rae's statement
10:15Desmond's statement
10:17How much is it appropriate for us
10:19Or how much is it appropriate for us
10:21I can never do this
10:24I really respect my work in this profession
10:27In there, people all know
10:28There is a perspective
10:29And point of view
10:30I have not studied his intervie
10:32I have heard his speech
10:33And before that
10:36I don't think I said that
10:37There is no sense of sensationalism
10:38He must have had his reasons
10:39He must have had his reasons
10:39He had a perspective
10:40That's why he used what he did
10:42In every profession
10:44There's some negative or disappointing
10:47The some kind of shahin mood
10:50But personally
10:51I don't think that.
10:54Do you think that when a person belongs to the television industry,
10:58they are inappropriate because they are also getting the television industry?
11:04Yes, I can't answer that.
11:07Because this is the time that we have discussed in November,
11:14so if it happens, how do you see this face?
11:17How do you see this face?
11:19How do you see this face?
11:20How do you see this face?
11:21How do you see this face?
11:22I think it will end.
11:23It will end.
11:24But every show starts.
11:26It has a beginning and an end.
11:27And it has been a great run.
11:29I really enjoyed being on it.
11:31And we can see what comes next then.
11:35Recently we have seen you in the Chumbak series.
11:38In Chumbak there was a cameo.
11:40How do you see that in OTT in character driven roles?
11:48Absolutely.
11:49Like I said, there are no restrictions on OTT.
11:52There are no restrictions on television.
11:55So yes, it was a lot of fun.
11:56A small cameo.
11:57But I had to work with Hatsong.
11:59They are incredible makers.
12:01And the cast.
12:02That stellar cast.
12:04And he is a quirky character.
12:06I have never played that character.
12:08She is a little crazy.
12:11You know, she lives in her own world.
12:13And so it has been a lot of fun.
12:17If your focus on TV on OTT in which direction is more?
12:21And what are your upcoming projects on Dream Road?
12:25Look, I want to do a lot of work.
12:27And I want to do a lot of work.
12:30Of course, I want to do a lot of village characters.
12:33And if you have a different character that I have not done before.
12:38So I want to do that.
12:40What options do I get?
12:43From that point, I would try to choose my best.
12:46But yes, I would like to play as many varied characters.
12:49It doesn't, the length of the role doesn't define, wouldn't define how I select it.
12:56How much I get to do that is what really, you know, tell me how I choose that part.
13:03The other point of the television industry is that when we talk about actors,
13:08we have to say that long working hours are a lot of work.
13:11So what do you say about that?
13:13And some of the pages are still shooting.
13:16Some of the new actors come, especially, who are selling timefaring.
13:21Or what do you say about it?
13:22Or what do you say about it?
13:25Or what do you say about it?
13:26Okay, this is unfair.
13:28It's absolutely unfair.
13:30Because it's a corporate structure.
13:33People are on salaries.
13:35So, sometimes I don't understand that it's a delay.
13:39But, actors, especially if we talk about unit, team.
13:43We talk about lighting, camera team.
13:48Yeah, sports team.
13:51It's very unfair to them to not pay them on time.
13:57Because they work the hardest in the office.
13:59So, definitely, this is very important.
14:05And, working hours, of course, like I said,
14:08we do not have to pay them on time.
14:09Because they work the hardest in the office.
14:12So, definitely, this is very important.
14:18And, working hours, of course, like I said,
14:19to go to the office on the other day.
14:20As we talk about it,
14:22we have seen some of the reals.
14:24As we talk about it,
14:26and also some of the actors.
14:28Who have made a little reel.
14:29Where you said social media talk about it.
14:33We talked about body shaming.
14:35Yes, we talked about body shaming.
14:37Recently, Saruman Khan has asked that.
14:39So you think that you don't have added pressure on an actor
14:45that you keep so deep-top that people don't have to troll him?
14:49But if you don't have to troll something, you have to do something wrong.
14:56There should not be a troll.
14:58There is no regulation because it is a democracy.
15:02But morally, it is so wrong.
15:06It is so unkind. It is so unnecessary.
15:10It is part of this world.
15:13But I 100% don't agree with it.
15:17People say that they are right.
15:19But it is necessary.
15:20You can't.
15:22You will talk about yourself.
15:24And in such a way, in such a way,
15:26in such a way, in such a way,
15:27you talk about the incident.
15:30What do you think about yourself when you do that?
15:35Yes.
15:35So,
15:37Why do you think about the trolls?
15:40No.
15:41No.
15:42No.
15:42I don't have any attention to the trolls.
15:44I like to keep you fit.
15:49Because everyone should be fit.
15:51That's one.
15:51Well,
15:54I think too.
15:54How does the people get the attention to the trolls?
15:57Because he is a legend.
15:58And so,
15:59And so,
16:00After coming and coming,
16:01And then coming and coming,
16:02And so,
16:03And so,
16:04And so,
16:12It's such an inspiring event.
16:15In the first time we know him as a co-actor.
16:18Now he's so big and he's back again as an actor.
16:23And both roles are so good.
16:27When he's in the set, he's a colleague.
16:30He doesn't have any respect, he doesn't have any package.
16:33She's humble, she's down to her.
16:35She's very friendly, she's very warm.
16:38I find her truly inspiring.
16:40How much pressure on the TRP to the actor?
16:44How much pressure on the actor?
16:45How much pressure on the TRP to the actor?
16:50How much pressure on the TRP to the actor?
16:54If it's small, I wouldn't take TRP.
16:56Because I'm not a producer.
16:58I think it's a lot of pressure on the actor.
17:01I think it's a lot of pressure on the actor.
17:01Because TRPs are all over the actor.
17:05And it's decided that this is the show number one, this is the show number two.
17:09So I think it's a lot of pressure on the actor.
17:12I don't think it's a lot of attention or attention.
17:17It's a lot of pressure on the actor.
17:28I think it's a lot of pressure on the actor.
17:32And it's a lot of pressure on the actor.
17:43But the actor doesn't get paid for the actor.
17:49If I've agreed to play it, then I play it in its entirety.
17:53If you don't play it, if I don't think it's good, then leave it.
17:59But if I'm not doing it, then I will do it to the best of my ability.
18:03Ma'am, lastly, what do you want to give future projects?
18:08Yes, I want to give this message. Please be kind to each other.
18:13And future projects, I say, keep going.
18:18Then I will take it as if when it comes.
18:20And till then, thank you for the love.
