00:00Actually, my leaving from here was spiritual.
00:12Because in 1996, I was getting a lot of attraction for meditation.
00:22And I met my Guru at the same time.
00:30And till then, Bollywood gave me everything.
00:36They gave me name, fame.
00:38I had almost 48 movies.
00:41I did that many movies.
00:42Then I did world tours.
00:44Some 40-50.
00:45National too.
00:47Then, as they say, if a seed is of an apple, it will become an apple in the future.
01:01That seed will fall in someone's hands for 2-5 years.
01:07But when that seed will know that it is an apple, it will start becoming an apple.
01:13When I was born, my grandmother was lying outside.
01:21And my mother had gone for a presentation.
01:25And my mother, she got a witness of Adi Shakti.
01:33And she said, I am coming.
01:35This girl is coming in my form.
01:37And you keep her name as Yamai.
01:41So, I was born.
01:43And a lot of spiritual things were happening with me since childhood.
01:48Then till 1996, my Guru came in front of me.
01:52He was a great ascetic.
01:53He has an ashram in Khopoli called Gagangiri Maharaj.
01:55And he was a great ascetic.
01:57In fact, all these Kumbh Mela's used to start after his arrival at that time.
02:05So, his vision fell on me.
02:08And inside me, Kundalini Shakti, Spirituality, Brahma Vidya.
02:14I was already interested in all these things.
02:18When I was in Bollywood, I used to read a lot of books.
02:21About Yoga and this and that.
02:24So, when this Guru came, I told him that I want to awaken Kundalini Shakti.
02:30So, he gave me his mantra.
02:35And my spiritual practices started from that time.
02:39When he used to come on Navratri, I did a lot of hard penance.
02:42I did a lot of hard yoga for 9 days in my life.
02:48So, if I had shootings for 9 days, I used to tell everyone not to disturb me.
02:55I used to tell my security that whoever comes, he will not knock.
02:59I used to keep my phones off for 9 days.
03:04I used to do Havan Yagya myself.
03:11So, I used to do Havan Yagya for 3 days.
03:15Then I used to sit on water for 9 days.
03:17Since that time, and as they say, a lot of things will happen in my life.
03:23So, I used to meditate quickly.
03:25I used to sit like this for 2-3 hours.
03:28So, when this Guru came, I got rid of everything.
03:32I got rid of Bollywood.
03:34I got attracted to Bollywood.
03:38I saw money, fame, fame.
03:42My picture also got a lot of hits.
03:44Very soon, I got super stardom.
03:46What is left now?
03:48My mother passed away.
03:49Next thing, from 2000 to 2012, I started my meditation.
03:59Do you know what happens when a Guru thinks for you?
04:06Because they know that Bollywood will not let me meditate.
04:09I used to do it for 9 days.
04:11Then I used to go back and forth.
04:13I used to eat wrong food.
04:15So, sometimes I used to get a lot of distractions.
04:20So, Guru decided a place for me.
04:25Then in 2000-2012, I did a lot of penance.
04:28I was in Dubai.
04:30I was in Dubai, but it was in a two-bedroom hall.
04:33But it was not like that.
04:34I had left everything.
04:35I used to go to the temple by myself.
04:37I used to collect flowers for 7 days and bring them.
04:41So, I did not have to go out for 7 days.
04:43I used to be completely in meditation.
04:45From morning to evening, I did not eat anything.
04:47Only in meditation.
04:48So, you can say that for 12 years, I had followed the vow of Brahmacharya.
04:54I did not eat onions or garlic.
04:56I did not watch movies for 12 years.
04:58So, I did not do all this.
05:00So, you are asking what I was doing.
05:06So, I was an aggressor in this.
05:13Of course, Prime Ministers like Narendra Modi are very rare.
05:20And what can I say about Narendra Modi?
05:26His personality, what can I say?
05:35This man loves his country very much.
05:38And he can do anything for the country.
05:40He can even give his life.
05:42And his country is safe in his hands.
05:44There is no doubt about this.
05:51Actually, I have given my time in many interviews.
05:55And how can I tell you?
05:59In 1996, many people who knew Vicky Goswami were in Bollywood.
06:05I was the last one.
06:06Everyone had gone there for his hotel opening.
06:09For the opening of his casinos.
06:11Everyone had gone to Bollywood.
06:13I was the last one.
06:16And that too on the day of his hotel opening in Dubai.
06:19I was shooting in Sessles.
06:21I didn't have time.
06:22He was going to come to meet me.
06:24And he was caught in drugs in Dubai.
06:26In 1997.
06:28I met him only for two months.
06:31After that, he was arrested in drugs.
06:35He was in jail for 12 years.
06:38And I was doing penance outside for 12 years.
06:41He told me to meet him once.
06:43When he was in Dubai.
06:45My mother had settled here.
06:47Around 2000.
06:49Then I went to meet him.
06:52I stayed there only.
06:54To meditate.
06:56I kept meditating.
06:57He left there.
06:58I was in Samadhi.
06:59My Kundalini Shakti awakened.
07:01Then I met Kumbha here.
07:03Till 2012-2013.
07:04Then I came here.
07:05And then he left for Kenya.
07:07No, that's what I want to say.
07:09I want to say this through you.
07:11I want to say this through all the tabloids.
07:13I am sorry to use this word.
07:17They publish anything.
07:19They don't have any proof.
07:21They don't have any proof.
07:23Take the proof.
07:25You publish anything about anyone.
07:27Don't do this.
07:29Because everyone has a karma.
07:31What you do with others.
07:33You will be blamed.
07:35You should be responsible.
07:37You should be responsible.
07:39I didn't get married.
07:41I didn't have time.
07:43And when a person gives up food.
07:45I didn't eat onions and garlic in 12 years.
07:47Everything gets destroyed.
07:49So where will the desire to marry anyone be?
07:51Love will always be there.
07:53Because for that.
07:55Once I went to meet him.
07:57I had such an attachment with him.
07:59But after so much penance and meditation.
08:01He also gets destroyed.
08:03He also got destroyed.
08:05He left there.
08:07I went to Kenya to meet him.
08:09I kept coming back to Dubai.
08:11I didn't go to Kenya.
08:13But he also got destroyed there.
08:15They took him away.
08:17When they took him to America.
08:19I was back in Dubai.
08:21He left this time.
08:23I didn't see him again.
08:25I am done now.
08:27It's been 8 years.
08:29No.
08:35No.
08:37I won't come back to the film industry.
08:39That's for sure.
08:41It's not possible.
08:43Yes.
08:45But if someone calls me in a debate.
08:47In which 3-4.
08:49Spiritual people are there.
08:51Spiritual people.
08:53For some discussion.
08:55I will definitely keep my viewpoint.
08:57Because I am a quite liberal.
08:59Spiritual person.
09:07Casting.
09:09I don't know.
09:11It wasn't for me.
09:13I didn't go alone.
09:15My mother was there.
09:17My secretary was there.
09:19I didn't have such an experience.
09:21I was very young.
09:2314-15.
09:25Now.
09:27People are getting some illusion.
09:29And what happened.
09:31I don't know.
09:33What is not right.
09:35They have started.
09:37Useless people.
09:39They think.
09:41We won't give anything.
09:43Corruption has come everywhere.
09:45In Bollywood.
09:47Corrupted people have come.
09:49There are such girls.
09:51There are such girls.
09:53They don't know anything.
09:55Some people don't know anything.
10:01I will come.
10:03After 2-3 months.
10:05I will come.
10:07After 3-4 months.
10:09I will come permanently.
10:11After 5-6 months.
