00:00 I don't know what a TV actor is, what an OTT actor is, what a Bollywood actor is.
00:05 I think an actor is an actor.
00:06 I always wanted to get married in a grand way.
00:09 As time and life got realized, I think around 12-1 pm.
00:15 It was very quiet but there was a different peace and atmosphere.
00:21 I think in the streets...
00:22 If you see our chemistry on screen, it's reflected.
00:25 If I want to eat something, I say it to Dhiraj.
00:30 He comes to me.
00:31 People are liking the trailer.
00:38 If you have seen your comments, you will know how much people are loving it.
00:43 So first of all, I want you both to tell us what is Tatlubaaz?
00:46 Because we know it but the audience wants to know what is Tatlubaaz?
00:49 Real Tatli...
00:50 Listen, this is the real Tatlubaaz.
00:54 In UP, a con artist, a con man.
00:57 They call a con artist, a con man, a Tatlubaaz.
01:01 Tatlubaaz is the one who makes people fool.
01:05 They call them a con.
01:06 So, the con man in this is Bulbul Tyagi.
01:11 I am playing the role of Bulbul Tyagi.
01:13 And how the story unfolds, how I meet Disha, who is her character.
01:19 How I meet Isabel, who is Nargis's character.
01:21 How things unfold and who makes whom a Tatlu.
01:25 That's the story.
01:26 So you have become a Tatlubaaz.
01:28 But you said that in UP, he is called a Tatlubaaz.
01:31 So I am sure his shooting must have happened in UP.
01:34 Absolutely.
01:35 We shot in the very real locations.
01:37 We shot in Banaras, we shot in Rai Bareilly, Lucknow, Alibaug, Goa, Mumbai.
01:41 We shot in many places.
01:43 So it is said that, because I am from UP, but I have heard many dialogues.
01:48 That in UP, you get fooled a lot.
01:51 What would you like to say?
01:52 What was your experience in UP?
01:53 My experience was very good.
01:54 I mean, there was nothing to fool.
01:56 The people were very sweet.
01:57 We were shooting on the main road in Banaras.
02:00 I mean on the road.
02:01 And it was very crowded.
02:03 But no one tried to fool us.
02:05 They were looking for just a selfie with us.
02:07 And the food experience was great.
02:12 The food in Banaras is famous.
02:13 We had chaat, potato chaat, tomato chaat.
02:17 In fact, in the scene.
02:18 There is a scene in which Disha and Bulbul are eating the local chaat.
02:23 At 1 am.
02:24 We had a very sweet conversation.
02:26 So there was no experience of fooling.
02:28 But we enjoyed it.
02:29 Yes.
02:30 Also Divya, if you have been to Banaras, then the streets of Banaras have a different experience.
02:34 So while shooting, what memories have you made for yourself there?
02:38 Other than shooting with me.
02:40 Other than shooting with you.
02:43 You must have seen a small scene in our trailer.
02:46 Where I am sitting in the local rickshaw of Banaras.
02:50 And he is following me on the cycle.
02:53 So in fact, we shot that lane at very late night.
02:57 Around 12 or 1 am.
02:59 It was very quiet.
03:01 But there was a different peace.
03:03 And a different atmosphere.
03:05 I think in the streets, you get to see so much art.
03:08 So many paintings.
03:09 One of the most beautiful places I have been to.
03:11 Yes, yes.
03:12 And in such small streets.
03:13 So I think, the way we want to see big roads in Bombay.
03:19 We enjoyed the small streets in Banaras.
03:23 So we shot there and had fun there.
03:25 The lanes are also very different.
03:27 You must have roamed there.
03:28 Yes.
03:29 Have you experienced Ganga Aarti?
03:31 We have done a scene in Ganga Aarti.
03:33 Yes.
03:34 We have done a scene on a boat.
03:36 And behind us, Ganga Aarti is going on.
03:38 Yes.
03:39 And there were so many ghats.
03:42 From Manikarnika to Ganga Aarti Ghats.
03:46 Life and death together.
03:48 Yes.
03:49 Seeing all those things.
03:50 I think the whole city is so beautiful.
03:52 Every corner of the city.
03:54 It's a very old city.
03:55 So it has a different architecture.
03:57 One of the oldest cities here.
03:58 The architecture is completely different.
04:00 And the vibe of the city is also different.
04:03 When we were shooting, it was very hot.
04:07 It was very hot.
04:09 But the localites there enjoyed the food more than the heat.
04:13 In the trailer, we saw many different looks.
04:17 I think, as far as I know you,
04:21 you have a different style in everything from food to everything.
04:25 But the look you showed is also very different.
04:28 So how much effort did you put in yourself for that?
04:31 The whole team worked hard.
04:33 We did workshops on the language,
04:37 the character, the characteristics,
04:40 and the looks, especially the body language.
04:44 And I think Vibhu did a great job with that.
04:46 Our director, Vibhu Kashyap.
04:48 And even the creative director Aman.
04:50 They worked very hard.
04:52 We made sure that when we go on set,
04:54 we will be very prepared.
04:56 We will run with our characters.
04:57 And that's what we did.
04:58 When we reached Banaras,
04:59 I think we knew everything.
05:01 We just had to deliver our dialogues.
05:03 We got that feel.
05:06 The other people who were talking to us on set.
05:08 So for a long time, I think our mindset was the same.
05:11 And we were enjoying it.
05:13 That was the fun part.
05:14 So, Divya, did you know Dheeraj before working on this project?
05:18 Or did you meet him before?
05:19 We didn't meet.
05:21 We wanted to meet him.
05:22 But luckily, the team we work with,
05:26 that team worked with both of us.
05:28 Our photographers, our makeup artists.
05:31 Everyone was working with each other already.
05:34 And I heard a lot about him.
05:36 When I first understood that he was working with us.
05:39 What did you hear?
05:41 What did you hear?
05:42 That he is very experienced.
05:44 He is very professional.
05:45 And he does everything in a very particular way.
05:48 From his diet to his mindset.
05:51 Everything.
05:52 And anger.
05:53 Anger.
05:54 I have never experienced anger.
05:56 Have you heard of anger?
05:58 Yes, I have heard of anger.
05:59 I have never experienced Dheeraj's anger.
06:01 He has always talked to me with love.
06:03 People hear anger.
06:06 But the reason is different.
06:08 The backstory behind it is different.
06:10 Everyone gets angry.
06:12 But Dheeraj has never been angry with me.
06:14 He has always called me with love.
06:15 Never.
06:16 And he has always been nice to me.
06:17 Anger is also important sometimes.
06:19 If you are with everyone with love, who will see your anger?
06:21 No, he has never been with me.
06:23 I know this much.
06:24 So, when you met on the first day of the shoot.
06:27 And today when you are sitting together.
06:30 How deep is the bond between you two?
06:32 I think it has become very deep.
06:33 I met Disha for the first time.
06:35 I think it was our reading session.
06:37 Disha, Disha, Disha.
06:38 You forget everything.
06:39 I forget Disha a lot.
06:41 I meant Divya always.
06:43 He has said Disha a lot on the set.
06:44 Always.
06:45 I met Divya for the first time at 9 pm.
06:48 At our producer's office.
06:49 We met there for the reading session.
06:51 He has also said that we already knew each other.
06:54 That Divya is there, Dheeraj is there.
06:56 But we never worked together.
06:58 It's a sad thing that we did not do it.
07:00 She is such a senior artist.
07:01 I have been in the industry for many years.
07:03 Why didn't we do it?
07:04 But we were meant to do this together.
07:06 It was something else.
07:07 The bond is so deep that I was still telling someone.
07:10 Before this interview.
07:11 I think she is my buddy.
07:13 If I have to say something or I have to say something.
07:16 Or I have to say something.
07:17 Then I don't think.
07:18 And that comfort is very important for you as a friend.
07:23 I think if you see our chemistry on screen.
07:26 That reflected that.
07:27 And if I want to eat something.
07:28 I tell Dheeraj.
07:29 I want this on set.
07:31 He comes.
07:32 So there is Nargis between you and Dheeraj.
07:36 What is his character going to be?
07:38 Nargis's character is Isabel.
07:41 That is also a very interesting character.
07:44 When you will see, you will understand.
07:46 Who is Isabel and who is not.
07:50 She has a very sexy character.
07:52 Very spicy.
07:53 Spicy and sensual character.
07:56 For which she is also very excited.
07:57 She has never done this before.
07:59 She always says that this is very interesting for me.
08:02 The good thing is that Nargis has also made her OTT debut.
08:06 Me and Vibhu Kashyap who is our director.
08:08 She is the only one who is the OTT star.
08:09 OTT queen.
08:10 Who was actually telling us what to do about OTT.
08:15 How to do it.
08:16 She was telling me about acting.
08:17 No, no.
08:18 It's good.
08:19 There is a big difference in OTT.
08:21 There is very less time.
08:23 In such a crowded time.
08:24 You have to do everything quickly.
08:26 And sometimes it takes hours.
08:29 We are on the road.
08:31 We are in the market.
08:32 We are struggling.
08:33 So it used to be really hectic for everyone.
08:36 So there I was the water guy.
08:39 I was the fun guy.
08:40 It used to be that.
08:41 That's it.
08:42 Nothing else.
08:43 I didn't learn anything about acting.
08:45 So Dheeraj as you said.
08:47 This is your debut on OTT.
08:49 According to me, an actor is an actor.
08:51 Because acting has to be done in movies.
08:53 In shows too.
08:54 In fact, I feel that TV actors have to work harder.
08:56 Because I have seen it with my own eyes.
08:58 The movie ends in 45 days.
09:00 In 50 days the shoot is over.
09:02 But the actors who have soap daily.
09:04 I have seen it with my own eyes.
09:05 14 hours, 15 hours.
09:07 Until the take is not complete.
09:08 They have to do it.
09:10 But when you hear OTT actors.
09:13 TV actors or Bollywood actors.
09:15 What do you think?
09:17 I think what is a TV actor?
09:20 What is an OTT actor?
09:21 What is a Bollywood actor?
09:22 I think an actor is an actor.
09:24 A medium cannot define an actor.
09:29 I feel a little uncomfortable with that.
09:32 Like you said.
09:33 I want to say that we have adapted a lot from the West.
09:38 We are still adapting a lot of things from the West.
09:40 Why are we not adapting this particular thing?
09:42 If you see a TV actor.
09:44 People who work in TV.
09:46 They work in films too.
09:47 They work in OTT too.
09:48 They are called actors.
09:50 Nobody calls them a TV actor or something.
09:52 Why is the culture not coming here?
09:56 It should come.
09:57 And it will be a great way for all of us.
10:00 I also think that if you see this category from a negative perspective.
10:05 Then it is bad.
10:07 But this categorization.
10:10 It is like an audience.
10:13 The whole category brings an audience.
10:15 Maybe the TV audience has never seen me.
10:18 And because of Dheeraj.
10:21 Today TV audiences will also start recognizing me.
10:23 So there is a mixture and amalgamation of all the three platforms coming together.
10:28 And if you say it in a negative way.
10:30 That is this.
10:31 That is this.
10:32 That is from here.
10:33 That is wrong.
10:34 But this is like an identity.
10:36 Which we all have carried very proudly.
10:39 And we are still carrying it very proudly.
10:41 What I mean to say is.
10:43 It is not about being negative or being okay about it.
10:46 People do this.
10:47 It is about breaking those norms.
10:50 Even people are considering you for certain kind of characters.
10:55 For OTT or film.
10:57 But then they say that you are too exposed on TV.
10:59 What do you mean by that?
11:00 Oh you mean that?
11:01 Yeah.
11:02 So many times.
11:03 Why not?
11:04 I should be a part of it.
11:05 And being exposed is a good thing.
11:07 People know me.
11:08 I mean it might bring certain kind of audience to your platform or to your show.
11:12 So why not?
11:13 What I am saying is that.
11:15 When you categorize, you categorize a person.
11:18 You categorize an actor.
11:20 My craft.
11:21 See my craft and then tell me that I am this actor.
11:24 And I cannot do this or I can do this.
11:26 So you should always judge an actor through his craft.
11:30 I believe that.
11:31 Not through the media.
11:32 Also this is your OTT debut.
11:34 So when you hear the word debut.
11:36 Even she is saying OTT debut.
11:38 After talking about the category, she is saying OTT debut.
11:42 But in short, whatever we are following.
11:45 If we see that, this is your OTT debut.
11:47 And when you hear the word debut, you get a different responsibility.
11:50 Because it is our first thing.
11:52 So what is going on in your mind and heart.
11:55 That this will be your first project.
11:57 See when.
11:58 It's a very new space.
11:59 Excitement.
12:00 It's a very new space for me as an actor.
12:02 I have never.
12:04 As you said it's my debut.
12:05 So I have never.
12:07 Done it.
12:08 What happens in TV.
12:10 You shoot mostly in an air conditioned setup.
12:13 You shoot there.
12:14 You have 20-25 days of work.
12:16 You know.
12:17 Work goes on in a month.
12:18 You make episodes.
12:20 Back to back.
12:21 But in OTT there is timelines.
12:23 You have to finish the whole season schedule.
12:25 In like 40-45 days.
12:26 You have to finish the timelines.
12:28 You have one location.
12:30 Which is only for 2 days.
12:31 You have to finish the whole shoot for those 2 days.
12:33 Day and night.
12:35 OTT.
12:37 The difference is.
12:38 OTT is more realistic also.
12:40 TV is more about the audience.
12:42 You know.
12:43 They want to see the characters in a certain way.
12:45 In TV.
12:46 Like I say.
12:47 Being there for the last 18 years.
12:49 In TV there is a definition of a hero.
12:51 He has to look a certain way.
12:53 He has to walk a certain way.
12:54 With slow motion shots.
12:55 His entry etc.
12:56 With the car.
12:57 Everything happens.
12:58 But in OTT.
12:59 It's not.
13:00 There were no slow motion shots.
13:01 There was no entry sequence.
13:02 It was all about.
13:03 Very realistic.
13:06 Very real in terms of characteristics of the character.
13:09 So that's the main difference.
13:11 And I am super happy that I am in this space.
13:13 And I told the director.
13:15 I told Vibhu.
13:16 Help me out.
13:17 If I am doing something.
13:18 If I am going haywire.
13:19 Just correct me there.
13:20 Because it's a very new space for me.
13:22 As I said.
13:23 So I want to be lead.
13:24 So 2023 is about to end.
13:26 It will end.
13:28 So what are your plans for the new year?
13:30 And what is coming in the movie?
13:32 Before the year ends.
13:33 This will be a surprise gift.
13:35 For your fans.
13:36 For the viewers.
13:37 It will be a surprise gift for us.
13:38 The second season.
13:39 Yes.
13:40 What will you do?
13:41 And apart from this.
13:42 What are your projects?
13:43 I am sure.
13:44 Dheeraj.
13:45 After seeing you in this character.
13:46 After seeing your different styles.
13:47 You must have got calls for more projects.
13:49 I hope.
13:50 What will you tell?
13:51 What is coming?
13:52 Your new project.
13:53 New project.
13:55 Right now.
13:56 I have never come.
13:57 I never think of the future.
13:58 I think.
13:59 This is coming.
14:00 It will come in 2-3 days.
14:02 And we have to ace it.
14:04 I think she is doing pretty well.
14:06 I mean.
14:07 I have seen.
14:08 Since the time we shot Tattlubas together.
14:09 You are almost everywhere.
14:10 Back to back.
14:12 I was jumping around.
14:14 In my ears.
14:15 Divya.
14:16 In your life.
14:17 There is going to be a big happiness.
14:19 You are going to get married.
14:20 Yes.
14:21 So my new year plan will be.
14:22 I will sit at home.
14:23 I will watch Tattlubas.
14:25 And then I will start planning for the wedding.
14:27 So you have not started anything yet.
14:29 No.
14:30 Tattlubas is a very important project for me.
14:33 Till the time I did Tattlubas.
14:35 I didn't want any personal life stress.
14:38 Or tension.
14:39 Or preparation to come in between.
14:40 When it will happen on 25th.
14:42 I will be very happy.
14:43 Double happiness.
14:44 Then double happiness.
14:45 Then I will enjoy celebrating it.
14:47 Personal things.
14:48 But what kind of wedding do you like?
14:50 Very simple.
14:51 Very simple.
14:52 I wanted my wedding to be very grand.
14:55 Like the realization of time and life.
14:59 I think only 7 rounds are important.
15:02 I will do that in my living room.
15:04 And our family should be there.
15:06 Yes, God and my family should be there.
15:08 I don't want anything else.
15:09 Dheeraj, you have been married for 7 years.
15:11 Wow.
15:12 You celebrated a week ago.
15:14 How has your life changed?
15:16 And also.
15:17 Same time.
15:18 Same date.
15:19 Same date.
15:20 Wow.
15:21 For her it's 1 year.
15:22 For me it's 7 years.
15:23 Wow.
15:24 So Dheeraj, it's been 7 years.
15:26 Life has changed a lot.
15:27 Also you are enjoying your parenthood.
15:30 How much has your life changed in these 7 years?
15:32 Because you have two phases in your life.
15:35 One is husband.
15:36 Life has become better.
15:37 I will not say it has changed.
15:38 Life has become much better.
15:39 When you get a partner who supports you so well.
15:41 And who understands everything about your professional life.
15:45 About your personal life.
15:46 About your needs.
15:47 I think that's a blessing.
15:48 Especially nowadays.
15:49 And Vini who is a partner like that.
15:53 She understands everything.
15:54 My commitments.
15:55 And she is the one who always supports me in everything.
15:58 And I have a habit.
15:59 I ask her even the smallest of things.
16:02 It's not that I can't do it myself.
16:04 But I like to take her advice in everything.
16:06 I like to ask the smallest things from her.
16:09 I even ask her what should I wear for the shoot.
16:11 And you know.
16:12 We do this too.
16:13 We do this too.
16:14 So this is what I like about us.
16:16 And after Zain especially.
16:19 After Zain's arrival.
16:21 Life has changed completely.
16:23 And I think for good.
16:25 The only place I want to be is with him.
16:28 The only thing I want to be is just a father.
16:31 So when I have a shoot.
16:33 I wrap up and run home.
16:35 When I give interviews.
16:36 I wrap up and run home.
16:37 Because I don't want him to sleep before I reach.
16:40 I want to play with him.
16:41 I want to be with him for some time.
16:43 Because when I have a shoot.
16:45 It gets hectic.
16:47 I can't meet him.
16:48 Because I leave in the morning and he's sleeping.
16:50 I come in the evening and he's sleeping.
16:51 But now I have some time in hand.
16:53 I will make sure that I spend that time with him.
16:55 How many times do you get up to change your nappy?
16:57 It's not like I'll get up or Vinny will get up.
17:02 If someone's eyes are open.
17:03 I'll change his nappy.
17:05 So you get up.
17:06 Absolutely.
17:07 Because I have a niece at my house.
17:09 So we have a competition.
