00:00See, inevitable to kuch nahi hota. Raaste, raaste nikaale jaa sakte hain. Majority kya
00:15hai, usk baare mein agar hum baat karein, toh it is a two way street. It is actually
00:22a double edged sword. Mediocrity has crept in because of volume as I said, also because
00:29of our understanding of how or what revenue these particular mediums that we spoke of
00:37generate. They are businesses today. There are major conglomerates handling the businesses
00:43or different segments of entertainment that we are talking about. But by the end of it
00:50there is something called integrity, which cannot be measured, which cannot be compromised
00:56upon. That also depends on one's own world view, one's own value system. The absolute
01:05deterioration of journalism is synonymous with the fact or is symbolic of the fact that
01:16it is business. All the news channels today, they are competing with each other not with
01:22regards to their reportage but with their ratings. Everyone claims to be no. 1. Isili
01:33aaj shayad aapko har organization mein ek fact checking department milega. Jitni information
01:39hai, utni hi misinformation bhi hai. Agar entertainment ki baat karein, toh it is a
01:47massive industry, revenue generating industry. Now why I call it a double edged sword and
01:53I do not blame those sensational news channels either is because people want to see it. There
01:59is a demand for it. Demand or supply ka simple law hai. But here we are talking about integrity.
02:08Why do we talk about integrity through this film and especially the unfortunate incident
02:13of the Sabarmati Express is when we recognize the media as the 4th pillar of a healthy democracy,
02:22one has to look and also with the advantage of hindsight, you can look back and understand
02:26or probably analyze, did they do their duty rightfully at a time when the country needed
02:32them the most? Or are they continuing to do that today when an average common man wakes
02:39up in the morning or returns home at night after a long arduous day, are they actually
02:44doing the duty that is expected of them from a common man? So this is what we want you
02:51to think about or probably observe and ask your own self. Achi baat hai yaar. Sensationalism
02:59agar aapko pasand hai, aap dikhen. But even as a member of a civil society, aapka yogdaan
03:06jo hai na, wo larger aspect mein kaam aata hai. Agar aapko aisa lagta hai ki aap apne
03:10ghar ki chaar diwaron mein kya karte hain, uska samajh pe koi farak nahi parta hai, toh
03:13yeh aapki galat maansikta hai. Butterfly effect hai, domino effect hai. Ghar se mahalla, mahalle
03:20se shahir, shahir se desh, desh se duniya banti hai. Na? Toh mera yeh maanna hai.
03:26See, we cannot speak about someone else because we have absolutely no knowledge. Speaking
03:38about Sabarmati report, whatever little information that I have or we have rather, is that the
03:46film has so far not been asked to have any major cuts in the film. The honourable CBFC
03:53has already seen the film. There are certain recommendations which are very generic, which
03:58is a general procedure. Now how the audiences will react to it is something which I cannot
04:04pre-empt. Right? We have made a film with absolute honesty, with intent and facts and
04:14research. But having said that, the complex world that we live in, my reality could be
04:21your propaganda. So I would like to leave it there. I do not want to come out there
04:27and try to change your world view because firstly, I can only hope that it changes,
04:32but I am not going to push it upon you. Here we have spoken about absolute facts, backed
04:38by the judgments and reports of the honourable Supreme Court. That's it.
04:49Of course, there is a difference in the technology we have today and the technology we had in
04:53those times. But it's amazing, you will notice one thing, that even in those times with not
04:59as much technological advancement, the facts were twisted. You know, there are so many
05:06voices which you will see on social media. There are so many people saying so many things
05:10on one particular news article or whatever event that happens. So you get confused. But
05:15even at that time, this whole incident, if you open anything about it, if you google
05:23it or see it, there are so many conflicting things about this incident. So I was amazed
05:29that even though there was not so much advancement at that time, it's not like you pick up the
05:35phone and start recording things. That was not there at that time. Even though all this
05:39was happening, so many facts were twisted. So of course, at that time, I think it was
05:46probably a better time. Because nowadays, you don't know, you don't trust any news piece.
05:52You don't trust anything that comes on it. You will have to do your own fact checking.
05:55You research that too, if you really want to dig into the truth. As it comes out, people
05:59become ignorant. But at that time, the media was very powerful. You know, you used to hear,
06:04like Riddhi said, you used to hear what the news anchors say. So I was a little disappointed
06:10that such a big incident happened at that time and so much was twisted. You know, so
06:14these are the differences that I saw in today's time. It's easier to make it, you know, with
06:19all the gadgets that we have, you know, it's easier to access information. Even at that
06:23time, there was not so much, yet so much was twisted. That's why this film is so important
06:28that you go and watch it.
06:29No, you don't think like this that technological advancement has happened. I mean, you just
06:34go into the world of the story. And because this is a true story, a tragedy that has happened
06:40in our country, so it had to be portrayed well, you know. So, I just put myself into
06:48that and followed the director, followed the writing, the research. I myself did a lot
06:54of research. Luckily, I had, you know, I had access to people who have worked as journalists
07:04back then, in the same time period. So I asked them, you know, what was the world like at
07:10that time, how did they work, how did the offices run, what were the things that were
07:13important. I have also worked on a television channel before being an actor. So I also understand
07:19how the agendas are made. I understand how, what happens. I have also seen that. I mean,
07:24I used to work in an entertainment channel, but it was associated with us, its news wing.
07:30So I used to go there and see how the anchors come out, what they do. That was in 2007-2008
07:35when I used to work. But I have seen all that, that you know, how, how artificial it is or
07:42how fast it is. And you feel like, oh, we sit and watch and think. What they are saying
07:47is everything and they are speaking the truth. But here, I mean, now do this, do that, do
07:51this, do that. I have seen it, you know, when I was a student. So, all those things help
07:57you. And like I said, this is a real incident. So it was very important that the research
08:04I have done and the incident, I stay connected with it. So that was my attempt. And also
08:10I will tell you, my character is a bit gray shades, negative, whatever you may want to
08:14call it. So, one very important thing as an actor is that you should not judge.
08:18So, I came out of a blank slate in this film, that I should not judge my character so that
08:25I can give full justice. If I had judged, then maybe I would have thought, no, she is
08:29very good. Neither did I want to do that, nor did I think, oh God, what kind of a girl
08:33she is. No, you know, she is doing her job. So, I have portrayed her in a way so that
08:38the audience says she is bad or the audience says she is good. I did not want to show anything
08:44like that.
