00:00When I was leaving the gym recently,
00:02they were like,
00:02Oh, look, she's so sad.
00:04We broke up.
00:05And I'm like, firstly, you lift 170 kgs
00:08and do deadlifts.
00:09Then we'll see everyone sad at the gym, dude.
00:13Where you at in the social media stuff?
00:15What do you post? Do you not post?
00:16A lot.
00:17What?
00:17Like your life.
00:19I post. I post.
00:20You post a lot?
00:21Yeah. Not a lot.
00:22Like I think now I have phases.
00:24Would you like upload stuff like on Facebook
00:26and VBM and f*** was going down.
00:29I would make my DP black.
00:31Like if I was having a fight,
00:32make a dot as my status.
00:33Yeah.
00:34I would do that.
00:35Right? Did you unlock that?
00:36You take your WhatsApp DP off
00:37when you're fighting?
00:38Now I don't because my picture's damn nice.
00:39But like I used to.
00:40It's okay.
00:41When do you do it?
00:42Like if you're fighting with someone
00:43or you're sad about something,
00:45then just make your DP like black.
00:46Then everyone will ask you what happened.
00:48Oh.
00:49And then you'll be like,
00:50nothing, whatever.
00:51Nothing, yeah.
00:52Yeah.
00:53There must be s*** that you don't want to post online
00:55because of like,
00:56you've decided not to.
00:57But like your life has this thing
00:59that's different from most of us,
01:01which is paps.
01:02How do you deal with that?
01:03I mean, honestly, like,
01:05I'm fine with them,
01:07but I don't like that
01:08peeche dekho and like turn around.
01:10I hate those.
01:11Like you know when they come from like behind angles
01:13and then they're like guess who,
01:14guess who and all of that stuff.
01:16It's like...
01:19And I can take all these.
01:20It's really not nice.
01:22Right.
01:22Yeah.
01:22So you guess their name
01:23and they don't really care.
01:24They just got their shot.
01:25Yeah.
01:25I just don't like the peeche dekho.
01:27Otherwise, I'm fine.
01:28And it's got to be weird, right?
01:29Because when you know that you're on camera,
01:30if you are having a bad day,
01:32you're like f***ing the s***.
01:33But you can't because you're going to be papped.
01:35I mean, I honestly just like
01:37have the bad day.
01:38Like I don't really...
01:39Like when I was leaving the gym recently,
01:41they were like,

01:43Like, you know, she must...
01:44This must have happened in her life.

01:56And I'm like,
01:57you just came out of the gym?
01:58I'm exhausted.
01:59Give me a minute.
02:01Because I don't like when they read into my moods.
02:03Oh, because people...
02:03Like my face is always like...
02:05You know, when they think like I'm...

02:12They think it means something
02:13but it means nothing.
