00:00Hi, Sakshi ma'am. Congratulations.
00:02The trailer is getting such a good response.
00:04What do you have to say about Katil Haseena?
00:07Thank you.
00:08Katil Haseena is a very amazing show.
00:13I want our generation, younger generation,
00:17and the generation above us to watch it.
00:19Tell us about your character in Katil Haseena.
00:22What is going to happen?
00:23Because the trailer is getting a lot of romance,
00:26a lot of drama.
00:28What do you have to say about that?
00:30It is a dramatic show.
00:32Basically, my character's name is Shanaya.
00:36And Shanaya is taking revenge in this show.
00:38Why is she doing it? How is she doing it?
00:40I can't tell you that.
00:42But yes, it's very interesting because
00:44people don't understand whether
00:46Shanaya has a double role, or Sakshi is single,
00:48or she has three. Because it's very confusing.
00:50So that's what we try to do in the trailer
00:52to confuse our audience.
00:54Can you say that you really have a double role?
00:58The audience is really confused about this.
01:00I can't tell you that it's a double role.
01:02But yes, it's a mystery.
01:04If I tell you it's a mystery,
01:06then where will you watch the show?
01:08So I really wanted to watch the show on 31st May
01:10and find out yourself.
01:12How challenging was it for you to play this role?
01:18Yes, it was very challenging
01:20because in a lot of excitement,
01:22like a week before or something,
01:24maybe 3-4 days before,
01:26I was sure that yes, I am doing this show.
01:28After that, I read the whole script.
01:30So I was shocked myself.
01:32How can a beauty be such a killer?
01:34So I was like, I enjoyed it a lot.
01:36You know the best part is
01:38for an actor, when he plays
01:40different characters,
01:42then it's fun.
01:44Because if I want to be a doctor,
01:46then I can play it.
01:48If I want to be a killer,
01:50then I can just play it out.
01:52So it feels like my inner soul is satisfied
01:54in playing versatile roles.
01:56Ma'am, this character was challenging for you.
01:58Right.
02:00During this show,
02:02when you were shooting,
02:04do you want to share a memory
02:06that was funny?
02:10Funny, funny.
02:12Oh yes, on the first day of my shoot,
02:14while we were in our,
02:16the shoot was in the bedroom
02:18and
02:20on my head,
02:22I got hurt.
02:24On the first day of my shoot,
02:26my whole eyes were swollen.
02:28And I was like,
02:30the whole set was tensed.
02:32What will Sakshi do now?
02:34But I was like, it's okay.
02:36Just give me an hour break
02:38and let me just do icing.
02:40I kept my makeup,
02:42my hair and everything for an hour.
02:44It was swollen, but we tried to cheat.
02:46I didn't shoot from this angle,
02:48so I tried to shoot from the other angle.
02:50On the first day of the experience,
02:52I was like, I got a bump on my head.
02:54So this was a weird experience.
02:56A lot.
02:58But was there a moment
03:00where you felt,
03:02they pranked you?
03:04No, we didn't have time to prank.
03:06We were all into the character.
03:08And also because my character is
03:10a very complex character.
03:12And to know why Shaniya is doing
03:14whatever she is doing,
03:16there was a lot of concentration and focus.
03:18Which I actually gave.
03:20So there was no time to joke around
03:22and prank.
03:24It was just the first day of the experience
03:26that I got a bump on my head.
03:28Alright, ma'am.
03:30The name of this film is
03:32Katil Haseena.
03:34I would like to know
03:36that the writers of this film
03:38have put in a lot of effort.
03:40But do you think that
03:42the writers don't get as much appreciation
03:44as compared to others?
03:46I think that
03:48they should definitely get appreciation.
03:50But I am not confirmed that they don't get it.
03:52But I keep my directors,
03:54DOP, producers, everyone
03:56on top of their heads.
03:58Because eventually it's the cast and crew.
04:00We have to make people comfortable
04:02to work with each other.
04:04If the environment is tense,
04:06then the work doesn't go well.
04:08So it is very important to
04:10suit the environment.
04:12So we need to appreciate
04:14Recently, you went to Cannes.
04:16Do you want to share something?
04:18I would love to.
04:20My Hollywood film MR9
04:22Do or Die
04:24was released
04:26in America.
04:28The trailer had to be launched all over the world.
04:30So my producers and directors
04:32chose Cannes Film Festival
04:34to showcase my trailer.
04:36We were lucky that Cannes accepted us.
04:38Our film was seen there and all of that.
04:40I, as a leading lady,
04:42had the opportunity to walk the red carpet
04:44to promote my film.
04:46That was the best experience of my life.
04:48I can't tell you.
04:50I can't even express
04:52when I had to walk
04:54and I was like
04:56This is your time.
04:5810 seconds of opportunity.
05:00Make it or break it.
05:02I just aced it.
05:04I walked so well
05:06that I can never forget it.
05:08And all the photographers and everybody was on me.
05:10And I was like, thank you God
05:12for such a big opportunity.
05:14I got an opportunity to do an international film.
05:16I got an opportunity to work with actors like
05:18Frank Grillo and Michael J. White.
05:20I got an opportunity to represent India.
05:22It's a very amazing and a proud feeling.
05:24After Cannes Fest,
05:26people talk a lot about Nancy.
05:28What do you think of her
05:30designer dress?
05:32She worked really hard
05:34to get to where she is today.
05:36I am so happy.
05:38She is from a small town.
05:40She is so cute.
05:42She is designing and curating.
05:44She is going to Cannes herself
05:46and making India proud.
05:48I am so proud of her.
05:50I actually want to say, Nancy,
05:52please make a dress for me.
05:54Nancy will be like, yeah sure.
05:56I would love it.
05:58Apart from Cannes,
06:00I would like to talk to you
06:02about your plans
06:04after this film.
06:06I have a lot of plans.
06:08It depends on my destiny.
06:10What destiny gives me.
06:12I want to go back to America.
06:14I want to start producing.
06:16I want to do so much.
06:18The list won't end
06:20but my life will end.
06:22It's the time to
06:24concentrate on my career.
06:26That's what I want to do.
06:28What message do you have for your parents?
06:30Read, write, chill and respect your parents.
06:32That's all I can say.
06:34I wish you all the best.
06:36Thank you.
