00:00First of all, welcome to I.N.S.
00:02Thank you so much sir.
00:04First of all, tell us about Rock and Petem and Pedro
00:09What did you attract the most of the projects in the two projects?
00:13When I got a call from Rock,
00:16the scene was very small.
00:19And when I studied the scenes,
00:23I understood that he was going to be a very impactful character in the show.
00:28And then I prepared a lot,
00:31because he was also a Parsi character.
00:33So I saw how the Parsi pronunciation is on YouTube.
00:39I prepared a little period for the show.
00:45Then I dressed up and auditioned in the casting office.
00:52When I was auditioning,
00:54I figured out that he was a very impactful character.
00:58The scene is going to be very impactful in the whole show.
01:02So, I always wanted to work with Process Roy.
01:07And that was good with Rock.
01:11Deena and Selene are both different characters.
01:15Yes.
01:16What was the biggest challenge for them?
01:20Deena's character in Rock,
01:22the challenge was of course,
01:25mental preparation for a character.
01:26But the physicality,
01:29the retakes,
01:31and the scene,
01:34the scene,
01:34the physical energy,
01:38the physical energy.
01:39And,
01:41we were also doing a lot of work with the director and my co-actor.
01:46And in our set,
01:47there was constantly an intimacy coordinator
01:49who was guiding us throughout the scene.
01:53So,
01:54the preparation was quite,
01:56I mean,
01:58when I went to shoot,
02:00I had a mental preparation,
02:02I had to do it.
02:03Then,
02:03I went there,
02:04with co-actors,
02:05the scenes,
02:07choreographies,
02:08and then,
02:09we worked on the scene.
02:10And then,
02:11we worked on the takes.
02:12And Sherlyn's role,
02:14it's a very opposite role,
02:17Deena's role.
02:19I mean,
02:20it's a comedy role.
02:21So,
02:22and it was the first time,
02:24I was trying a comedy.
02:26And,
02:27of course,
02:28Rajkumar Hirani sir,
02:29Avinash Arun,
02:30Arshad Varsi.
02:31So,
02:32my work was very easy,
02:33because,
02:33I worked with them,
02:35and I was able to see them.
02:36I was able to choose them.
02:38You choose a new character in every project.
02:42Do you consciously,
02:43repeat your image?
02:49you're not able to do that.
02:50Every actor is moving from repetition.
02:54But,
02:54what happens is because,
02:55when you see a character in a while,
02:58people will mix your personality from that character,
03:03and their recall value are increasing.
03:07It will be the same as to the imagination
03:09It is very difficult for casting directors and directors.
03:13So there are a few repetitive roles.
03:15You have to do one job.
03:18But I have no problem with repetitive roles.
03:21I have come to work and I will do it.
03:25How did FTI training have you learned as an actor?
03:32FTI met me.
03:34I understood that I was afraid of any of my emotions.
03:43The difficult conversations are difficult to do with friends, family members, brothers and sisters.
03:54It is very difficult to do with the emotions.
03:55It is very difficult to do with the set.
03:58Because you have to imagine yourself.
04:00Or you have to bring your personal experience in your acting.
04:06So FTI taught me that.
04:08FTI taught me a beautiful community.
04:11For friends, actors, directors.
04:14You have created a project for all the film industry.
04:21What are the most important things for you?
04:22You have created a project for content driven and commercial.
04:26What are the most important things for you?
04:32I am working with the director.
04:35I am working with the director.
04:36I try to read a script for 2-3 times.
04:39And who is my character.
04:41Whether the screen time is enough.
04:42Whether the dialogue has enough.
04:44Whether the character is not visible.
04:47The character is not visible.
04:47That is a little bit of attention.
04:51And I try to think how impactful the character will be.
04:56I try to focus on that.
04:58And if it is an independent film.
04:59It is an opportunity to improvise.
05:02It is an opportunity to work differently.
05:05It is a bit of constraint in commercial projects.
05:10But in independent cinema.
05:12It is an opportunity to work more on that.
05:16Hotel Mumbai.
05:17Tripool.
05:18Misra.
05:18CA Topper.
05:19Abra.
05:20Which project has changed you as an actor?
05:25The change?
05:29I mean.
05:30As an actor?
05:31The first film of Hotel Mumbai.
05:33And I first went on a set.
05:36So.
05:36He had.
05:37And that.
05:38As an actor.
05:41I learned something.
05:42The first thing.
05:43I was able to understand.
05:44What is the set?
05:46How does a set function?
05:48That.
05:48That.
05:49There.
05:49I mean.
05:50I.
05:50The first time I felt like an actor was in a set of hotel in Mumbai
05:53So I gave that credit for the first time that I went to a set of hotel in Mumbai
06:01Your upcoming project Lagi, Kamsay or Drive and Catch Fire
06:06Will you get the new audience to see the audience?
06:11Yes, I have a lot of interesting films
06:15There are different genres of films
06:17One film is Maharashtra based
06:21One is Chandigarh based
06:23And the third film is Delhi based
06:27So these are all independent films
06:30I mean, I am a mother of a character
06:34I am a South Delhi girl
06:41Dry wounds catch fire
06:44It is a diploma project
06:46Siddhan Singh Chauhan is a junior from the film institute
06:49It is a diploma film
06:51It is a post-production film
06:53So these are all independent films
06:56In fact, I am going to work on my future
06:58It is a film
07:00That is what you work with
07:01You are a physiological
07:02Romantic film
07:06What is your real life
07:08To inspire a real life
07:09What kind of this story
07:10Turning the world
07:12How much of this story
07:14How much of this story
07:18is your life
07:20In my life
07:23I can't talk about the story exactly, but there are personal experiences and there was a traumatic event on which
07:35I wanted to write
07:36which I think will be very relatable to a lot of women across the world.
07:41My film institute is a batch mate of screenplay writer Shreya Bhattacharya.
07:45So, when we started talking about the story, and when some years passed, that I can objectively see it,
07:53then we decided that we should start writing it because the story is very interesting.
07:58I hope that I can write it properly and create it.
08:04When you see your personal experience on the screen, do you have any fear?
08:11Yes, there is a fear. I have a fear for writing.
08:16It's also a fear for me.
08:18So, I think that...
08:20I mean, I mean, I mean...
08:22I mean, I mean, I mean, the process of adapting the character to me is very difficult for me.
08:28Because you have to see both of yourself black and white.
08:56Today, OTT has increased the opportunity for new actors.
08:58You have increased the opportunity for new actors.
09:01Do you think that you have more importance of talent?
09:06You have created your own background in your industry.
09:10So, what did you teach this journey?
09:15I've learned a lot about the journey in the last 19 years.
09:17I've learned a lot of things.
09:20But I also think that sometimes when I watch some projects,
09:27when I watch some projects,
09:28the currency of talent,
09:31I think it should be a priority.
09:33When we work in films,
09:35the currency of talent,
09:36it should be a priority.
09:37Not that your social media posts,
09:41your followers,
09:43your knowledge and knowledge.
09:45Sometimes it feels like
09:47that if you have more followers,
09:49you get more work.
09:50So,
09:52sometimes it feels like that.
09:54But you also meet such good people,
09:57who are only on the basis of your talent.
10:00So, I've learned a balance.
10:01I'm really looking forward to the quality of that.
10:07I've learned a lot
10:07So, people who don't like to learn
10:10what their social media plays in the world.
10:13Where are your training?
10:14Where are your new ones?
10:14and they don't like to learn
10:15If you have an acting?
10:17So, I'm following the truth
10:18that I'm doing training,
10:22working in the world
10:23and getting the work done.
10:26Today, some actors, without any formal acting training, do work with other banners, especially start kids.
10:37After taking FTI training, do you feel that the background of the talent is more important?
10:47I mean, this question is legit, but if they are the star kids and the roles they offer, I don't
10:57compete for those roles.
10:58So, I don't think this is a problem.
11:01If they are the roles, I don't give audition for them.
11:04And if they are the roles, I don't give audition for them.
11:06They don't consider them for their roles.
11:08So, for me, this is probably my time-waste.
11:14If they are the roles, when will I get a lead character?
11:18When will I get this film with this director?
11:21So, if I think this is better than thinking, I will see 5 films and work with writing.
11:28For an outsider, how difficult to create a role in the industry?
11:32How difficult to create a role in the industry?
11:34What do you think that the opportunity is also available today?
11:39If you want to give a young outsider from today, then what will happen?
11:46My juniors are passing out from the film institute.
11:50And many people come to Bombay.
11:52So, if there is no advice for me.
11:56If there is no advice for me, I will say that when you come to Bombay,
12:00then definitely figure out what will happen to you.
12:05What will happen to your alternate source of income?
12:08When you don't work in Bombay, you have to do something.
12:13You have to do something.
12:14You have to do something.
12:15You have to do something.
12:16You have to do something.
12:16You have to do something.
12:17So, if you can get this money, you can buy some money,
12:20You can do something.
12:20Because one person has to do something.
12:24You can do something.
12:25But if you can do something,
12:27if acting does not come to the last few years,
12:29and you will do something,
12:31You can do something else,
12:31let all get you figured out a certain source of income.
12:34Because as an artist,
12:35it will rise to the mind as an artist.
12:37And then, you have a choice.
12:39That you have to say,
12:41So, never again,
12:47We will figure out, voice-overs, assist films, costumes, writing.
12:52Whatever works, do it and figure out income.
12:57I am developing a mini-web series.
13:01My film institute has a batchmate of Screenplay Writing, Shreya Bhattacharya.
13:06We both are writing it together.
13:07We are co-creators.
13:09It is now a very start time.
13:12We will go to many months.
13:13And I hope that we will make this show.
13:18Thank you so much.
