00:00 So Geeta Ma, first of all we would like to know, you have come to Shardul's podcast today.
00:04 So many unfiltered things have happened and...
00:06 There have been a lot of things, I don't know why.
00:08 But because there is a rapport with Shardul ji, so there is no hesitation in talking.
00:14 So my problem is that when I speak, I speak.
00:18 I have spoken. Now how unfiltered and uncensored it is, we will have to see.
00:24 Well, we would like to know, what is one thing or anything that we the audience or your fans don't know and you have said it on this podcast today.
00:34 A lot of people know about my work.
00:37 And there is nothing hidden about it.
00:40 My personal life is not that heavy.
00:42 And I don't like discussing it a lot.
00:45 So maybe you will get to know some things about my personal life.
00:49 Hmm, wow.
00:51 There is nothing like that, but you will get to know.
00:55 Well Geeta Ma, till now we have seen you in the position of a judge.
00:59 Now we see you there as a choreographer.
01:01 You will see me anywhere.
01:03 Why there is nothing, you know, not something else?
01:06 I feel that a lot has changed now.
01:10 The school where I have started from, the way of working there was very different.
01:16 Now it has become very different.
01:17 Also I enjoy now having to sit and watch other people and give my opinion.
01:26 It is not that there is no work there.
01:29 It is work.
01:31 How much to say, how much not to say, who to hurt and who not to hurt, that is work.
01:37 Right.
01:38 Because you say anything and if you are not impactful in someone's life, then that can turn around and become a fine thing.
01:46 Well, that's work.
01:48 Well, if I am not wrong, this will be your first podcast or second podcast?
01:53 I think I did the second one with Manish earlier.
01:55 I go less in these things.
01:57 Why you don't talk about your personal life or your…
02:01 What to know about me anyway?
02:03 I think if people see and appreciate my work, then it is enough for me.
02:09 I have been on television from 2008 I think.
02:12 And I have been loved, I have been humbled with the love I have got.
02:17 So, that is enough for me.
02:19 What more do you want to know?
02:20 I wake up in the morning, drink coffee, you all can see how I drink coffee.
02:24 Now, what more can I show you about me?
02:27 There has to be something interesting.
02:29 I feel that if you show something interesting to someone, then it is fun to watch.
02:37 I am chopping vegetables in my house, cooking food or sweeping, you don't have to give it to me.
02:44 But you know, ma'am, as you are saying, there are so many celebrities who say that
02:50 they don't want to disclose their personal life or don't want to tell.
02:54 But on the other hand, we are seeing that their blogs are going on where they are revealing themselves.
02:59 But when the media covers it, then they are pointed out.
03:02 What do you have to say about this?
03:04 I think it's double standards.
03:05 I think either you keep your personal life by itself quiet and keep it the way it is.
03:09 I have always disengaged.
03:11 I have never encouraged anyone to come and shoot in my house.
03:15 Even when my mom was alive, a lot of people used to say that you have to interview her.
03:19 How do you spend your day at home with her?
03:21 I think why are you interested that I should keep anything private?
03:26 And if you said that and you feel like that, then you should stick with it.
03:30 At the most, I can show you what I do in the morning, how I drink my coffee.
03:36 What I do, I don't want to go that deep.
03:39 No one should see that much.
03:42 Some things are very important.
03:44 Because I think that the fame you are shooting, getting is very short-lived.
03:52 If you are not interested in me, then what will I do?
03:58 So it's better that I show you as much as is necessary.
04:03 You will also like it.
04:05 You will see me next time.
04:07 And if a lot of time has passed, then you will also be interested.
04:10 You will know something about what is going on in the work.
04:14 And it will be interesting.
04:16 If you see me every day, whether I go to the gym every day or not, what clothes I am wearing,
04:22 then what will you be interested in?
04:24 So I like to keep it personal.
04:27 Not only personal, it's just a little bit.
04:30 I think that is the enigma of being in the limelight.
04:34 And if I am not famous tomorrow, by God's grace, I should always be there.
04:39 But if I am not a celebrity, if I am not famous, and I go back to being who I was,
04:44 then I want to get the same respect, not that I feel bad that someone is looking at me.
04:50 Well, now I would like to know, you have met Mama ji here.
04:55 And what kind of conversations have you had with her?
04:58 Because you were a super dancer with Mama ji.
05:00 Your knock-jokes were very much appreciated on that.
05:03 But now he is coming on Madness.
05:05 He is coming on Madness.
05:07 Parikosh is now very busy.
05:10 He is doing films.
05:11 His film will be released on 7th and 14th.
05:14 And this was always our prayer.
05:17 We used to sit together before, during the time of the super dancer.
05:20 I used to pray that you should be so busy that you don't get time to meet.
05:25 And today that is happening.
05:26 So today I have met him, I think after many months.
05:29 Because he is shooting my last film, which I met on Madness.
05:32 I am meeting him today.
05:33 And maybe I will meet him when the film is released.
05:36 So yeah, it's become lesser, but I am just happy.
05:39 Because he is doing a good job.
05:41 Coming from television to film world is a big achievement.
05:47 I am happy for that.
05:48 And I will always be happy.
05:50 But lastly, what would you like to say to fans and viewers?
05:53 Keep loving.
05:54 And keep showing love.
05:56 Don't sit at home and make people cry.
05:59 It feels very weird.
06:01 Don't do that.
06:02 Because I think everyone is trying to make up somewhere over there.
06:05 And whether it is media, or personalities, or celebrities.
06:08 Everyone is trying to do something, to earn something.
06:12 So when you bring them down, it affects them morally.
06:15 Let's not do that.
06:16 Spread the love.
06:17 There is a lot of lack of love in this world.
06:20 Show some love.
06:21 Make love.
06:22 Thank you so much.
06:23 Thank you.
06:24 God bless you all.

06:31 you
