00:00So, for me, I don't see it as a transition.

00:07I see it more as an evolution of Ranveer the person, Ranveer the human being, Ranveer the

00:13artist.

00:14Dheere dheere, you know, once you get familiar with the art of expressing yourself through

00:19your medium, you look for more mediums to express yourself.

00:24This for me is an extension of the artist in me.

00:27The actor in me is purely an extension of the artist in me per se.

00:36It was outstanding working with the likes of Hansal Mehta sir and Kareena, I think both

00:44of them were more than willing to sort of go that extra step to help me feel comfortable,

00:51to help me settle down, to help me get the character, get into the character and gave

00:59me the conviction to deliver the character.

01:07The biggest challenge for me was preparing for that role.

01:11Otherwise, I am living in a very black and white world as Ranveer Brar.

01:18Everything should be good.

01:19And he was the first grey character.

01:21And this grey character was going to very different places, was going to very negative

01:30places.

01:31So, navigating those places was interesting and challenging for me.

01:44Every scene was tough for me.

01:45It is not that I was sort of born into acting.

01:49But yeah, the moment that sort of everybody talks about is the slap moment where sort

01:54of Kareena slaps me and that slap never happened.

01:57She had never actually slapped me, but we had to take it 15 times because I could not

02:02swing my head to her slap.

02:04But the moment that sort of defines me in that film is the first take that I did when

02:10Kareena comes for the first time as Jazz Bhamra and she sort of talks to the family.

02:18And then, you know, the scene where Ranveer says,

02:24That scene was, the first take was really bad from my side.

02:28And those three minutes looking at everybody around me were my defining moments to say,

02:34Ranveer, will you be able to do it or not?

02:36Is this where you belong or not?

02:38And I'm so glad it turned out the way it did.

02:46I think everybody, everybody should have a say.

02:53And if somebody is saying trained actors should be given, should be given roles, I completely

02:59and totally respect that.

03:01I think as I get to understand the medium more, I will be able to speak on it even more.

03:27But I completely respect those opinions.

03:32So I believe that eventually everybody's reputation is at stake in a film, right?

03:40I believe everybody wants to make a good film.

03:44And just because somebody is known to you or somebody is a known face, but it compromises

03:53on the outcome of the film, nobody will take you for that.

03:56A director will never risk his reputation and cast you because you are a known face.

04:02At the end of the day, nobody wants to risk their reputation, right?

04:06People don't cast people for fun.

04:08It's their reputation at stake.

04:10And hence, it's a great responsibility for everybody, whether you're a celebrity, non-celebrity

04:15to deliver whatever is in front of you.

04:18And that's, I think that's what, that's what should matter.
