00:00Ma'am first of all, welcome to INS.
00:02Thank you so much.
00:03And Ma'am, welcome to Diwali.
00:04Is this an occasion for your celebration or your family?
00:10So, how do we celebrate this?
00:12We usually do this at home.
00:17I usually call my mom.
00:19We try to have dinner as a family.
00:21We try to have dinner as a family.
00:21We try to have dinner as a family.
00:22We try to have dinner as a family.
00:23We try to have dinner as a family.
00:30We try to have dinner as a family.
00:31I don't have a fault in Bombay.
00:32I have a fault in Bombay.
00:38We try to have a gutter.
00:46We try to have dinner as a family.
00:49That's all.
00:50In this time, the celebration of the festival is very media-centric.
00:54What do you see that at some point,
00:58I don't know, it's a myth that I feel sharing things.
01:03I also see positive things, at least I try to do it.
01:06Everything has a positive side.
01:09I can connect with many people who live in Mumbai.
01:13I get to know how their celebrations are happening,
01:17what they have made in their house,
01:19how they are prepared.
01:20So I loved it.
01:22What do you feel the difference between Diwali and Diwali and Diwali?
01:29In Diwali and Diwali,
01:31I just feel that pollution levels are very bad,
01:37because I and my son both suffer from this.
01:41But Diwali has increased so many levels in Diwali.
01:46But apart from that, of course, celebrations have increased.
01:48When I was younger, I was younger.
01:51People have a lot of respect,
01:54and they have a lot of new clothes.
01:58But I feel like I have more expenditure on everything.
02:01And it's more about the commercialization of the festival.
02:05That is the difference.
02:06Do you have any family tradition that you follow every year?
02:09And I don't forget.
02:11Look, the tradition is that we are here.
02:14Wherever we are,
02:15I and my little brother,
02:17we are with mom and dad at home.
02:20Apart from that,
02:22we are making food,
02:24I make medicine,
02:25I make medicine.
02:26So these are small things that I have seen in my childhood.
02:29And I want to remember my son
02:31and I want to carry forward these things.
02:35In today's Hectic Professional Life,
02:38how much time is challenging for the festivals?
02:41Look, the time is challenging for everything.
02:43It's challenging for everything.
02:44In the city,
02:45where you have to go anywhere,
02:47anywhere from 1.5 km to the distance,
02:50you have to spend half an hour.
02:51So,
02:53because of that,
02:53the time is definitely difficult.
02:55But,
02:55the time is difficult for these things.
02:59For the festivals,
03:01there are many years of pollution and firecrackers.
03:04But,
03:04how do you see the balance of the celebration
03:05and environmental responsibility?
03:09Look,
03:09frankly,
03:12I don't like my son
03:15because it is very warm in Mumbai.
03:18There are no winters.
03:19because of pollution,
03:21actually,
03:22I think,
03:22the ambient temperature
03:24also increases.
03:25So,
03:25the situation is very calm.
03:27He doesn't enjoy it.
03:28And apart from that,
03:29of course,
03:29we use a shagun's name
03:30or a shagun's name,
03:33But,
03:33that's more important.
03:35What is the most important thing about family food,
03:38gifts,
03:38and spiritual connection?
03:39Family,
03:41food with family.
03:43For the family,
03:44for the family,
03:44for the family,
03:45food,
03:46and the family,
03:47I think,
03:47I don't like everyone.
03:49What would you like to give them the festival?
03:52What would you like to give them the fans?
03:55I would like to say the fans,
03:57please,
03:57play safe.
03:58Do not like Diwali.
04:00Or take the food,
04:00but do not take the shore.
04:05Don't be a waste in the house.
04:06As long as possible,
04:16It happens that the cars are falling down, or they get a rocket in the house.
04:21So, as much as possible, I can't say to anyone that don't run away.
04:26But it's safe for me.
04:28Nan, since it was a lot of time, the show's suffering and the end of the show's emotional re-union
04:34and the celebration of the show.
04:36So, do you think that in this ending, the show's central message, family, and relationship's importance also beautifully concluded?
04:43Absolutely.
04:43Just like you're saying, this is exactly what it was.
04:47And because it's the same, because it's the same relationship between the family.
04:50You know, how does one another help, or how does one support it.
04:55And that is what they did.
04:57And I think you said it perfectly.
04:59Just as far as they've seen it, I think it was absolutely good.
05:03Ma'am, originally, since I was a lot of work, I was taking a role of Damini,
05:08but after that, did you think of that character or a new responsibility?
05:12Definitely, I think it's a new responsibility.
05:15Because I was in a new role.
05:19There were old people too, and there were new people too.
05:22And there was a lot of time with the show.
05:25It wasn't that the story started from the beginning.
05:28The story was actually going forward.
05:31So, definitely with new responsibilities.
05:33How did the show offer happen in the news or actual fervents?
05:37How was the emotional transition for actors?
05:39Are you mentally prepared for this journey?
05:42Because we said that it's going to be a finite show,
05:46So, you knew that it's going to be a little bit better.
05:50And when we were a few days after the last few days,
05:53I also knew that we'll probably wrap up shooting today.
05:55We'll wrap up.
05:56It will end up.
05:58But that day, especially when we did Diwali,
06:00we'll have to shoot a shot.
06:01So, it was all the same.
06:04Everybody was quiet.
06:06Of course, we were happy.
06:07But there was a sense of ending.
06:11So, everyone was a little sad.
06:15You also said that the show has given you a spotlight in your career.
06:20Yes.
06:24So what do you think that in the television industry, actors will come back to an iconic show?
06:32Look, the show will never be aware of how it will become iconic.
06:37To begin with, it could be any show that can become iconic.
06:42Because it started, I don't even know that it will go to this point.
06:50So of course, everyone wants to know that you are part of a successful show.
06:54At least, you can note it, you can note it, you can note it.
06:58Everyone wants that.
07:00But I don't believe that the definition of any show is iconic.
07:04It will happen.
07:05Okay.
07:05So you also add to it.
07:07I felt it, the partner of the partner of the partner of the partner.
07:08Smithi Enani Ji express the support of her career and professional orientation
07:14and her intakesail journalist cards that's happy.
07:15Does the manager of her working side affect your work?
07:19She is a very thorough professional, very friendly, very warm and the political image or stature she does not bring
07:31it ever on the set.
07:34She is a very simple straight lady and I have never put her baggage in that way.
07:42When she was talking about the show, when she was ending the show, how many emotions were in Cap English?
07:49What have you witnessed?
07:53Of course it was, especially for her.
07:55Her character is iconic because she is from Tulsi and she is Tulsi.
08:03So, yeah, I have seen a lot of videos on the show. I think everyone was theory-eyed.
08:10As was Sheet. It is such a big part of her career and of her life.
08:17Yes, it was a very profound moment.
08:20In the television industry, there are changes in the TV and audience feedback.
08:27So, do you think that the character's originality is compromised in this process?
08:32Yes, I think that you learn to work around these things.
08:39Yes, there are changes.
08:41And it is also a reason for it.
08:44Because there is something going on in the track.
08:46Or what you thought was not being able to do with it.
08:51So, they do play with it.
08:54At which point it is frustrating for actors.
08:59But you learn to adapt.
09:01Ma'am, when you talk about TRP, as an actor, how much pressure you do with TRP?
09:07And if actors take them, what do you want to give them?
09:10How much pressure you do with TRP?
09:10Look, I will give myself a message.
09:16But TRP, as an actor, there is something else in our hands.
09:20So, whether the show is going, or how good it is.
09:26It doesn't matter how good it is.
09:28It doesn't matter how good it is.
09:31And these things can't be controlled.
09:34So, as an actor, I never take this pressure on myself.
09:39And I don't say that.
09:41It doesn't matter.
09:42It doesn't matter.
09:43It doesn't matter.
09:43But it doesn't matter.
09:44Because as an actor, we can only do our work.
09:47We are not creatives.
09:48We are not producers.
09:49We are not the channel.
09:50So, what we can do in our hands.
09:52We can do our work.
09:54And then leave it to the audience to do the rest.
09:58Ma'am, what do you think,
09:59Do you think that television actresses,
10:00after a certain age,
10:01after mother or supporting role,
10:02limit it to her?
10:05Look, it's a stereotype.
10:09There are a lot of stereotypes.
10:09But as far as TV is evolving,
10:14ODTV,
10:15and even television,
10:16for that matter.
10:17Traditional television.
10:18There are a lot of artists,
10:20who are not in the 40s.
10:23They are only mother and mother.
10:25There are a lot of nice characters being written.
10:27So, I am very grateful and hopeful,
10:30that you don't have a slot,
10:33as much as possible.
10:36Ma'am,
10:37why do you want to play a role?
10:40Do you want to play a role in the audience?
10:41Do you want to play a role in the audience?
10:44Do you want to play a role in the audience?
10:44Yes.
10:45I want to play that.
10:46As an actor,
10:47I want to play a role in the various characters.
10:51Because, frankly,
10:52I don't know what my photo is,
10:55so to speak.
10:56I want to play everything.
10:56I want to play something.
10:57I would love to do comedy.
10:59I did Chumbak.
11:00But I would love to do a comedy show.
11:02I hope I get a chance to do it.
11:04Thanks.
11:05I want to play everything.
11:07Ma'am,
11:08what would you like to play a role in the show?
11:10Where do you enter the real person in the audience?
11:14Look, this is a very silly question.
11:18I have thought about it and approached me.
11:23I am not very sure specifically about Bigg Boss, not her reality show.
11:29Because it is 24 hours on camera.
11:32So that makes me very wary.
11:36I am a private person.
11:38I don't know how many games I will play.
11:41So it doesn't excite me the idea.
11:44Ma'am, if you have a chance to write a different chapter about Damini's life,
11:49what would you like to explore her story?
11:53I am a professional life of Damini.
11:56Because she was a working lady.
11:59She was self-supporting herself.
12:00So, you know, if someone would explore her personal life, not just as the mother of the family.
12:11So that would have been interesting, I think.
12:14What would you like to say to your fans about Damini's life?
12:17And what would you like to say to your fans about Damini's life?
12:22I would like to say, Vishyum.
12:24I am very, very happy.
12:25Damali, Damali.
12:26I would like to say that you all, your family, please stay safe.
12:41Stay safe, stay blessed, stay healthy.
12:45Okay, thank you.
