00:00 You did mention that even if when it comes to a past relationship, you haven't hidden it from your children, your children know about it.
00:06 Yeah.
00:06 Yeah.
00:07 Because it's not...
00:08 My life's an open book for them. If not today, tomorrow, they'll read about it somewhere.
00:12 They might read something worse.
00:13 Because then you know how the 90s press was.
00:18 I mean, it was yellow journalism at its peak.
00:21 So they had no scruples, they had no morals, they had no integrity.
00:25 Seriously.
00:26 So tell me, is Russia prepared for that? Is it something you've thought about?
00:31 Well, luckily today you have the social media where you can put out your case right in front of your fans right there.
00:37 Your statement matters. Today there's, you know, there are different mediums, different platforms
00:42 where you can be on one-on-one with your fans or your friends or whoever, where you can put out what you have.
00:48 Earlier we were at the mercy of editors whose camp they were in or whom they were buttering up
00:55 or which hero was buttering them up or heroine was buttering them up. They would only write about them.
00:59 So, and their side of the story and not even waiting to find out what the truth was.
01:04 So it was that and what they thought, how they wanted to bring someone down, they would.
01:10 You were just at their mercy. So even if they had to print an apology, it would be like one minute line right at the bottom of some obscure page
01:18 which nobody would even read and they'd say, "Oh, but we did print an apology. Now no wonder, edit, what can we do?"
01:23 Did you have any of those kind of stories about you which you were upset about or whatever?
01:28 Of course. Yeah, of course. Any particular that you remember?
01:31 Not that I remember. So that's one thing great about me. I just block out negativity.
01:36 Whenever I know someone's leading me down a negative path and I have to go back into a negative situation, I just block it out.
01:43 And then sometimes your memory helps you because you forget. And that's, I think, a great thing to happen.
01:50 So I only keep people who are positive and positive things around.
01:54 I'm surprised you're saying this because you were somebody who was always very friendly with everybody in the media.
02:00 Everybody liked you in the media.
02:03 No, no, no, no, no, not really. Oh, I've had the worst articles written about me.
02:08 So it's not, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I mean, you could always see and some of those women editors today play the feminist card
02:16 and play the, you know, I'm so liberated kind of card in, you know, I'm so high society.
02:23 And the fact being that they slut shamed, they body shamed, they called you names, there was pet names, you know, given to everyone.
02:32 And the most scandalous the story, the worst that they would write.
02:37 And what was this pet name you had?
02:39 Oh, I don't know. I've been called so many things, Amazonian and Thunder Thighs, Thunder Thighs was cute though, TT, TT, Thunder Thighs and Miss Arrogant and Miss I don't know what or Miss High and Mighty.
02:51 Yes, there are a lot of names. A lot, a lot, a lot. It was fun.
02:56 I was Googling to see because I don't remember you ever doing a kissing scene in your career.
03:04 No, I haven't.
03:05 And I, you know, the nets keep saying things like Kamala Haasan's hot kiss with Raveena Tandon.
03:11 And there was?
03:13 Puppe Ingar's hot kiss with Raveena Tandon.
03:15 And somebody else.
03:16 Then did you Google it and see?
03:17 I Googled to see what the hell because I don't remember.
03:19 Was there a kiss?
03:20 There wasn't.
03:21 There you go.
03:22 So, you know, I'm so surprised that they have these headlines.
03:25 These are clickbaits.
03:26 Yeah, clickbaits. And I because I was researching on you before our conversation.
03:30 No, I've never done kissing scenes.
03:31 You've never done it. In fact, if I remember right, you had that in your, you had a no kiss contract kind of a process.
03:38 Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:40 You had.
03:41 No, those days there were no contracts or anything.
03:43 But you're not this time.
03:44 But yeah, yeah, I never had any. I never did. I'm not comfortable.
03:48 But today's generation, everybody's doing it. So, Rasha would have different principles for herself.
03:55 Again, it depends on her. If she's comfortable doing a scene with someone, why not?
03:59 But if she's not comfortable, nobody should have the power to force her to do anything that she doesn't want to do.
04:05 Or what she's not comfortable doing.
04:07 So, these little restrictions of I won't kiss on screen, etc. were self-imposed restrictions?
04:12 Totally. I'm not comfortable.
04:14 I remember I was doing a scene. It was like a little rough handling kind of a scene with a male actor.
04:22 And by mistake, his lips, I remember just brushed my lips. It was a mistake. It was not even required in that.
04:30 Like in that whole frenzy, it was a mistake. And I went up to my room and I threw up.
04:35 Because I was so not comfortable.
04:38 The shot got over and I went up and I had nausea. I felt nausea.
04:43 So, I was never comfortable. I couldn't bear it.
04:46 I was like, yuck, no, please brush your teeth, wash your mouth like 100 times.
04:52 So, if I was not comfortable doing something, I wouldn't.
04:55 So, this was, I'm not wrong in saying that you were a villain.
04:58 Obviously, I'm not going to name him.
05:00 Once can.
05:01 The poor villain. He was doing a villain's role. Poor chap.
05:05 He was so apologetic. I said, it's okay. It's a mistake.
05:09 But I was really surprised that the net was so full of all this, you know.
05:15 It's all click bait. So, internet has a lot of trash on it as well, yeah.
