00:02First of all, welcome to INS.
00:05First of all, you need to know about your journey from Mumbai to Mumbai.
00:09What will be the biggest struggle in your industry?
00:14Thank you so much.
00:16Asaam to Mumbai's journey is very good.
00:29What was the biggest struggle for now?
00:36The biggest struggle is that you stay away from your family in the city.
00:43Every day, you have to make an audition every day.
00:47You might get rejected every day.
00:50Next day, you have to make an audition every day.
00:54I will not call it a struggle, but it's part of the process.
00:59So, the struggle is that you are away from your family and trying to make your name in a big
01:07city.
01:09How did your first show grow in Pandya Store?
01:17My first show was Neema.
01:20It was my first show that ran for a year on Colors TV.
01:23It was my biggest show in my life.
01:26I have learned from Neema's show.
01:30Because of that show I came to Mumbai.
01:32And the rest that you have mentioned, Pandya Store, also Pandya Store, I did for 7-8 months.
01:37That was also a good experience.
01:39But that was my last show.
01:41After that, I left television and started auditioning for OTT and films.
01:46So, I think this is the best thing for TV actors.
01:52They remember scripts very quickly.
01:53So, in my shows, I have learned how to remember scripts quickly and how to stay active.
02:02Because television actors are really hard.
02:05So, what did you say about Ramayana?
02:15I am a very fortunate and grateful that I am a small part of such a huge film Ramayana.
02:26and audition we go to m triple c usually just as a swiss
02:32i gave my intro once a lot of time and then i got a call for this film
02:37that there is a part that you will audition for that
02:40then i went to mukeshwabara office and auditioned after 2-3 months
02:44then i got a call that i got locked as shrut kirti
02:48and then we started shooting
03:02so basically to be very honest shrut kirti
03:05ke liye itna kuch thane karne ko but mujhe overall us journey me hi
03:10bhot maza aya to be able to be there amongst such great actors
03:16uh nitesh sahar ke direction mein and i liked i liked everything about the set
03:22uh sare actors jaise itna focus se kaam karte saai for that matter
03:27she was so in her role um into her character and ram like ranveer was into
03:33his character to wo sab dekh ke bhot kuch sekhne ko milai that even after reaching such heights in your
03:39career you are still so dedicated ramayana ke brand sets per shooting
03:45and we need to share the memorable experience
03:48memorable experience to yahe ki the the outfits everything was so heavy
03:53jewelry and all sab kuch bokh zahada heavy tha
03:55so bokh muskil tha wo carry karna but humne continuously
03:59do din who shadi walai lehengay mein shoot kia and
04:02uh jab hum cd se neche utar rayette to wo tho difficult
04:06tho because hum chaareo ko ek saath utarna tha and hum hum
04:11You can't see it down, but you can take steps along with it.
04:15So that was a little difficult but Sai really helped us and yeah, it was an amazing experience.
04:23How did you work in this Triwari direction?
04:25Very, very. Sir is so calm on set.
04:30I never saw him raising his voice or losing his calm.
04:34He was completely dedicated to this project as we all know from so many years.
04:40And we could see that on set also, his vision.
04:43Although he was very clear in his vision, we couldn't do anything at that time.
04:50But now I watched the film and what he planned, exactly we could watch that.
04:59And it was a very amazing experience that he worked with.
05:02Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, how did he work with acting and how did he get to learn?
05:07Yeah, I just mentioned like I said, even after reaching such heights in your career,
05:14you were still so dedicated, still so passionate about your craft.
05:19And how to stay humble even after being like the superstar, even after being superstars.
05:29You have worked with OTT, so how did you work with OTT and Television are so different?
05:35I think in a lot of different things, the main difference is that you can explore a lot craft-wise.
05:47You can try a lot of different characters, different characters, different emotions.
06:02You can try a lot of different emotions, but in OTT, you can touch a lot of different emotions and
06:09different characters you can play.
06:11You can try a lot of different emotions, different emotions, different emotions and different emotions.
06:17I feel that there are many other things left behind.
06:22We are like on the way.
06:26I want a lot of actors from the Northeast to come here to try their luck and to try in
06:33Hindi cinema.
06:34Because I think there are many other things left behind the stage and actors from the Northeast.
06:41There are so many actors who need to be or who need to be.
06:44Because we also have a lot of talented actors in Assam, like in the Northeast.
06:50So I think we can give more opportunities.
06:54Don't think about the looks.
06:55We were in a lot of stories.
06:57I think we can actually give chances to Northeast actors.
07:03If you are talking about Ranbir Kapoor, you can share the work with Ranbir Kapoor,
07:08you can share the work with Ranbir Kapoor, you can share the work with the wow moments.
07:14I think overall experience was very good.
07:18And I think as an actor, when you worked with such a big set, with such a big actor,
07:24with such a great director, with such a great director,
07:26you cannot think about all these.
07:31You have to stay in the same moment.
07:34You have to focus on the same thing.
07:36But what I personally loved about Ranbir Kapoor, how dedicated he was.
07:42He is an introvert, I think.
07:44So he was completely in his character.
07:48Not even for once, I saw him breaking his character.
07:53So I really loved that about Ranbir Kapoor.
07:57I am really fortunate to be able to share a screen with him.
07:59We have heard that he gives cues to people.
08:03I am sure, I am sure Ranbir Kapoor, because the dedication he has, I am sure he gives cues.
08:17How do you handle rejection and competition in the industry?
08:22Relation or competition.
08:24Rejection or competition.
08:26Rejection or competition.
08:27So rejection is part of the process and competition is also part of the process.
08:34If you are in this industry, then you will have your competitors.
08:37You will get rejected.
08:39I think just accept it and move forward, keep hustling, keep working.
08:44You can best yourself.
08:46So what will happen in front of you, you will have to accept it and move on.
08:50What do you feel about your career in yourself?
08:52What do you feel about your career in your life?
08:55Change?
08:56Like being someone from Assam, who has television shows, music videos and today to be able to share screen with
09:07Ranbir Kapoor, Sahi Pallavi is the biggest change I can say.
09:21So, as we all know, Kamikha Mandir, we all know that this is Shakti Peet.
09:26And when I go to Assam, mostly I try to go to Kamikha Mandir and this is because I had
09:33a special reason for such a big project that I am a part of this project.
09:38So, I felt the need to take mass blessings.
09:42And every time I visit, it is so surreal, so peaceful.
09:48And when you feel that connection, you feel Maa's blessings, you know, I got emotional when I was praying.
09:57Because I feel Maa has given me so much.
10:01As far as I didn't want to ask her, she has given me so much.
10:04So, definitely a very deep connection and I really feel good when I visit Kamikha Maa.
10:30Yes, yes, yes, yes.
10:38I feel like we should not judge a book by its cover.
10:42Please go and watch the film and if you like anything, please tell me.
10:49But the film is genuinely very good.
10:52I feel so good.
10:53Mangal Rang is literally my favorite.
10:56I am listening to every song and scene.
11:00I feel like what a visual experience it is.
11:05And every actor has done phenomenal job.
11:09All the things are very good.
11:11So, I will just say that it is only real.
11:13And I feel like if you watch one reel and the other reel, people are judging.
11:18So, just go and watch the film once.
11:19And then, you will understand yourself.
11:21And then, you will understand yourself that what you feel is wrong.
11:25It is a very good film.
11:26But, the film is a great film.
11:29But, the film is a great film.
11:30The film is a great film.
11:32The film is a great film.
11:34The film is a great film.
11:36I don't know.
11:37Maybe, I don't have much knowledge of that.
11:41But, personally, I feel like it is a great film.
11:44I have told you that I am listening to every time.
11:47And I don't know if someone feels like that.
11:52I respect their opinions.
11:53I respect their feelings.
11:54That's why I am just requesting you guys to just watch the film in theatre once.
11:59And I am sure that after that,
12:01you have any doubts or any disappointments that will, you know, that will go.
12:08So, if we talk about Ramayana, Ramayana first came to the TV show.
12:13He was a great actor with Arun Govila and Arun Govila.
12:17So, if he has an impression that he doesn't have to go quickly.
12:22If we talk about Ramayana about Ramayana,
12:24we will see the picture of Arun Govila and Arun Govila.
12:30How many people accept Ramayana's character?
12:40I think that once you have seen the film,
12:43you will accept Ramayana as Ramayana as Ramayana.
12:51Because he has shown that he has this vibe,
12:55he has this aura,
12:57when you watch that film in the theatre,
13:00you will not have any opinion in your mind or opinion in your mind.
13:04You will love him as Ram.
13:06They have worked with such passion and dedication.
13:11So, I understand,
13:12because people have seen the shows from childhood,
13:15you will not see it in your mind.
13:18But please give this a chance and I am sure you will love it.
13:22Do you think Ramayana is a big risk?
13:25I think it is a big risk.
13:26I mean, especially in today's time,
13:29because the social media is coming,
13:32and every little thing,
13:33and every little thing,
13:34and every little thing,
13:34and every little thing,
13:35they are communicating with Ramayana.
13:45I think that this is a good thing.
13:53It is a good time to make such films.
14:00And after Ramayana,
14:01I hope,
14:02it will become a great film.
14:04And in social media,
14:05I know,
14:06because in social media,
14:07there are many small things,
14:10but it is also,
14:11I feel that today's generation,
14:14they are going back to the Bhakti.
14:17The people were not much into spirituality.
14:22Now,
14:22I feel like,
14:23people are going back to that direction.
14:25People are meditating.
14:28I personally,
14:30I listen to Hanuman Chalisa almost every day.
14:33So I feel like,
14:33that our generation is going back to that country.
14:37And I think it is a great time to make a film like Ramayana.
14:41So,
14:42what are the challenges and different roles of tour?
14:46So,
14:47one more film is like,
14:49two of my films are releasing very soon.
14:51One is Darwaza,
14:53and one is Paramveer.
14:54I have played a lot of challenging role play.
14:56I can't tell anymore.
14:58But,
14:58it will release soon.
15:00And it was a very different and tough character for me to play.
15:06And I am really looking forward to it.
15:08And in future,
15:08I really,
15:10because as an actor,
15:11you always love challenging characters.
15:13You always,
15:13want someone to challenge you,
15:16a character to challenge you.
15:17So, I would definitely look forward for something that is,
15:21really tough to play.
15:23But,
15:24it will be fun.
