00:00Meela, we are doing a negative road, because in real life, you are dominating.
00:07You can say that I know how to take charge of a situation.
00:13My reflexes are very prompt and I am very accurate in my judgement.
00:19So, it may be that I am dominating, because I know what to do at that time.
00:25So, if that is domination, so be it.
00:28If you are talking about negative characters, I mean that some of the actresses like negative roles,
00:35and some of the actresses are a challenge.
00:39What do you think of that?
00:41Of course, there is too much to play around.
00:43There is too many shades that can take a negative character, a grey character on the screen.
00:48He and she is not limited to just one thing.
00:51They can do so many things at one time.
00:53So, it is challenging, it is exciting.
00:56As an actor, it feels very fulfilling that you can do this too.
00:59If you do a positive role, then you keep crying.
01:02Just.
01:03If you do a positive role, then you get so tired, eventually you get a gliss.
01:07So,
01:08You can only do a positive role.
01:10So, I think that on television,
01:12or some people, negative shade is an amazing challenge that you should take up.
01:17There are many actors who don't have to do negative.
01:20They are like,
01:21No, I don't want to do it.
01:22People will think like this.
01:23It is not about what people think.
01:25It is about the variety that you can give as an actor in a negative character.
01:30Yeah, those were the days,
01:32when we make stars,
01:34and shows like 500,000,
01:351500,
01:372000,
01:382000,
01:39and so on.
01:40But,
01:41now,
01:42the time has changed.
01:43Because,
01:44the time has changed.
01:45You have to do it.
01:46Why do you demand?
01:47Yeah, those were the days,
01:48when we make stars.
01:50And shows like 500,
01:511000,
01:521500,
01:532000,
01:542000,
01:55but now,
01:56the time has changed,
01:57because the audience is smart.
01:58The channels have opened.
01:59The platforms have been opened.
02:00So,
02:01it is all about numbers now.
02:02It is all about making money now.
02:04It is all about making money now.
02:05It is all about that whatever thing benefit is,
02:06you should do.
02:07If you don't benefit,
02:08then do it.
02:09The creativity has left behind.
02:11The number game has become a number game.
02:12But,
02:13everybody has their own way of running their show,
02:16and their business.
02:17So,
02:18it is all about business now,
02:19I feel.
02:20This is why,
02:21creatively,
02:22people have not given the opportunity.
02:24Like,
02:25I remember,
02:26I had done Krishna Mohini.
02:27Within 3 months,
02:28the show got offered.
02:29Now,
02:30it has not opened the correct plot in any way,
02:32and the channel has closed.
02:33So,
02:34but then,
02:35you can't do anything about it.
02:36It is what it is.
02:37The time changes.
02:38That was the time when the 1000 episodes were made.
02:41It is the time when the 100 episodes are made.
02:43It is also the 1000 episodes.
02:45It is also a milestone.
02:46It is also a milestone.
02:47You have worked with Vikrant,
02:48and Darshan,
02:50and Darshan.
02:51Yes.
02:52So,
02:53what kind of chemistry is strong here?
02:54No.
02:55No.
02:56It was a great chemistry.
02:57Like, Vikrant,
02:58was my devar in the show,
03:00and Darshan was my husband in the show.
03:02So,
03:03there were a lot of amazing scenes.
03:04Off screen,
03:05on screen,
03:06we had a lot of fun.
03:07We had a great job.
03:08It was a good job.
03:09It was good,
03:10you know,
03:11when you work with good actors,
03:13your give and take is very real.
03:15It is less effortless.
03:16You don't think that it is hard.
03:18When you read the script,
03:20you talk about it.
03:21And you are living the character.
03:23To the full extent.
03:24So,
03:25I am blessed that,
03:26you know,
03:27I have got an opportunity to work with Vikrant and Darshan.
03:30In fact,
03:31I remember,
03:32after Baba is over,
03:33Vikrant and Darshan both said to me,
03:35that,
03:36let's not do TV.
03:38We will continue.
03:39We will do films.
03:40We will go together.
03:41We will find work together.
03:42So, I said,
03:43no, you go.
03:44You do.
03:45I want to do TV.
03:46Because,
03:47I recently got married.
03:48And then,
03:49I wanted to have kids also.
03:50So,
03:51television is like something,
03:52just the payse continuously aate rehte hain.
03:53Because,
03:54you are continuously working.
03:55At least,
03:56I am.
03:57So,
03:58it was not holding capacity.
04:00I can sit on the train.
04:02But,
04:03today,
04:04if you are sitting,
04:05Vikrant and Darshan,
04:06it's probably something good.
04:08Today,
04:09there is no balance between the TV and the lady.
04:12Do you think that
04:14the actors have a little moderate?
04:16Or,
04:17in fact,
04:18image?
04:19Look,
04:20TV actors,
04:21there are opportunities to find the opportunity.
04:23Because,
04:24there are probably new faces.
04:27Fresh faces.
04:29They don't understand that if an actor is 15 days in the house,
04:31then they are fresh.
04:33So,
04:34So, I think their criteria is that the actor is very overexposed, that you are watching them on TV, so how do you get a different flavor in OTT?
04:44So this is a challenge, it's sad that if you leave the talent, you are looking so exposed, so then you are also losing on a good actor, right?
04:54So, let's talk about our thoughts, OTT people, they come and kill them everywhere.
04:59Like, the big actors, the lines, the dialogues, I can't speak.
05:03The TV actors, the main actors, the color-cars, they are doing so well.
05:10And they are proud to say that they are from TV.
05:14Now, let's talk about TV shows.
05:17So, we can see that there are two Pakistani shows that they like a lot of audits.
05:23Don't give the name of the Pakistani show.
05:25Don't give the name of the Pakistani show.
05:27I mean, there are Indian shows that are melodramatic,
05:30and there are Indian shows that have been a bit confusing.
05:35I mean, there are Indian shows that have been a bit confusing.
05:51Look, your question was very good.
05:53It was a very, very good question.
05:54But you should not compare with Pakistan.
05:56Because it is our own, it is our own.
05:59There is no comparison.
06:00And the situation is still happening in that moment.
06:04So, my point is, yes, we should up our game.
06:07We should change our way of working, our style of working.
06:11But then, our audience doesn't accept it.
06:14As I tell you, I have shown a show like a lady special.
06:17It was exactly as real as you are expecting it to be.
06:21The shot-taking was also very difficult.
06:23We didn't make-up.
06:25I told you, you have to tie your hair like this.
06:27You have to be ready to be ready.
06:28But our audience needs it.
06:30So, our show doesn't work.
06:31Because they wanted people to get dressed.
06:34They wanted the dharan-dharan.
06:36They wanted that.
06:37It did not work.
06:38If the show is going on,
06:40then we will also increase one step with it.
06:42So, I think we are making what people want to watch.
06:47And now, there is a smart way of shooting.
06:50There are a lot of things that are good in the shows.
06:53But then, there is a long journey to show.
06:55So, I think there is a long journey to show.
06:56So, I think there is a long story.
06:58Because it is a number game.
07:00Like I said, creatively, you cannot do anything more.
07:03Because there is no number.
07:05So, it is all beyond creativity now.
07:08So, I think there is a platform where you have a real self.
07:23And unfortunately, reality shows are very low.
07:27Like I have shown a reality show.
07:31So, I was able to win it.
07:32So, I enjoyed doing it.
07:34Of course, Big Boss is one of the biggest platforms.
07:37So, if we will call it,
07:39I would like to think about it and consider it.
07:41I cannot do it because I am scared of everything.
07:44So, I will never do it.
07:46I will never do it.
07:47I don't want to be like a laughing stock.
07:50I am scared of everything.
07:53I am scared of everything.
07:54I am scared of heights.
07:55I am scared of water.
07:56I am scared of trees.
07:57So, there will be a few opportunities.
07:59So, I would love to do it.
08:02Social media is a lot of people.
08:04Is it connected or connected?
08:06What do you think?
08:07I think it is connected.
08:08And it is very challenging.
08:10You have to up your game on your social media.
08:14You know, you have to.
08:15You can't just post anything.
08:17You have to put something and put it.
08:18Then you have to be ready for criticism.
08:22I think it is an amazing platform.
08:25Where you are not on TV.
08:27If you are not on TV.
08:28If you are not on TV.
08:29If you are not on TV.
08:30But you are not on TV.
08:31If you are not on TV.
08:32But you are not on TV.
08:33So, it is your domain.
08:34You will present yourself on your social media.
08:36So, do that wisely.
08:37I think it is a very very strong way to stay connected.
08:40I think it is a good question.
08:41I think it is a good question.
08:42I think it is a good question.
08:43IPL is just entertainment.
08:44I don't know.
08:45It may not be fixed or whatever.
08:46But it just looks scripted.
08:47Sometimes.
08:48How do they do this?
08:49How do they do this?
08:50So, it is just fun.
08:51You are enjoying this episode.
08:52You are enjoying this episode.
08:53You are enjoying this episode.
08:54If you want, you can just go into a restaurant.
08:55Have a few drinks.
08:56Have your starters.
08:57Chill.
08:58Have fun with friends.
08:59IPL is more about that.
09:00And not real cricket.
09:01Like I have heard this episode.
09:02Like my father said.
09:03Test cricket is the actual form of cricket.
09:04I don't know.
09:05I don't know.
09:06It may not be fixed or whatever.
09:07But it just looks scripted.
09:08Sometimes.
09:09How do they do this?
09:10How do they do this?
09:11So, it is just fun.
09:12You are enjoying this episode.
09:13If you want, you can just go into a restaurant.
09:15Have a few drinks.
09:16Have your starters.
09:17Chill.
09:18Have fun with friends.
09:19IPL is more about that.
09:20And not real cricket.
09:21My parents say that.
09:22Test cricket is the actual form of cricket.
09:24That is real cricket.
09:25You are not so much of me.
09:27My dad is watching.
09:28Five days.
09:29And my husband is also very fond of watching cricket.
09:32So, yes.
09:33IPL is just fun.
09:34If you have a little friend of mine.
09:37Is an actor who does not work with each other.
09:42He doesn't have his name.
09:44He doesn't give him so much importance.
09:47No one is number one today.
09:58I think films and OTT both.
10:05What is your Instagram?
10:09What is your message?
10:13I am a loyalist. I am a keeper.
10:27Last time you didn't have any post.
10:31What is your message?
10:35You have to ask.
10:39I am a loyalist.
10:41I am a loyalist.
10:43After the marriage,
10:45I am a loyalist.
10:47I am a loyalist.
10:49I am loyalist.
10:51I am loyalist.
10:53I am loyalist.
10:55I am loyalist.
10:57I am loyalist.
10:59What do you think about this?
11:01Especially in TV industries,
11:03you are looking at back-to-back divorcees.
11:07What do you think about that?
11:09You are all scheduled for the TV industry?
11:11What do you think about that?
11:13No, I don't think it has got anything to do with TV schedules.
11:17Divorces are very unfortunate and the worst thing to happen to anybody.
11:22I feel that you can never come out of that.
11:25Because it remains a ghost and a shadow.
11:28Everyone has their own reasons, their own thresholds.
11:31For me to comment on someone else's divorce will not be right.
11:34But I know that when two people can't live together or can't live,
11:38they don't want to lose their life because life is one.
11:43So, people probably don't have a threshold.
11:45And they don't have patience to deal with any nonsense.
11:48Everyone doesn't live in their own life,
11:51which is not possible in a marriage.
11:53Because in a marriage, you have to take everything together.
11:56You, your partner, your children, your sisters, your relatives.
12:00So, people probably don't have a threshold.
12:03And if they are decision and they don't want to do it,
12:07then it is their choice in their life.
12:09They should have the freedom to step out of a relationship
12:13that is not productive for them.
12:16That is not working for them.
12:18Aapko khush rehenne ka hak hai.
12:20Aur agar aap e khrishta mein khush nahi ho,
12:22to din aapka hak hai us pe decision lene ka.
12:24掃 agar aap ka hak居 si hur gia ka idea,
12:27he ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke he bisa hai.
12:33Peace to ho gie, fca tam hai ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke pe pour quark hi,
12:45India is a very giving and a very forgiving country.
12:52I feel our Prime Minister Modi ji is, he's a dost.
12:57You know, just as they say Mitro, I feel like if Pakistan will forgive him, Modi ji will forgive him.
13:04But how many times I feel that India has left a friend's hand on a human ground,
13:11and put a stand on his hand and said, let's go, okay. They give a lot of shame, these people.
13:15So then, how much of a person will get a lot of shame?
13:18What Modi ji is doing is absolutely right.
13:20I stand by my country. Once and for all, finish this.
13:24Of course, casualties of war, innocent citizens, civilians, but this needs to end now.
13:32And you shouldn't have to take such a granted, India, that you don't have to give us a chance, boss.
13:38You're just killing it.
13:41Thank you so much for always watching me, loving me, supporting me.
13:48I will always try to entertain you, to make a smile on your face, to make a smile on your face, to make a smile on your face.
13:54So, you also love me and I will also be happy.
14:02Bye-bye.
14:03Bye-bye.
14:04Bye-bye.
