00:00So good to see both of you.
00:01When an announcement of a show is made, people get excited and the show starts getting delayed.
00:07So people start asking why the show is getting delayed.
00:11And finally when the show's date is announced, people start getting excited again.
00:16So first of all, how many responses did you get when the show's date was announced?
00:23I think when a show is supposed to be released on a certain date, people wait for it.
00:30But when it gets delayed, it becomes the most awaited show.
00:37So our show has also become the most awaited.
00:41And yes, our followers, people who love us, they are very excited.
00:47Everyone was waiting impatiently.
00:50In fact, they kept asking me and I was so clueless.
00:53I didn't know what to say about the technical difficulties.
00:59Now, thank God, we got an answer.
01:01We were waiting for the American presidential elections.
01:04We were waiting for the results and then we released the show.
01:07Of course, it had to be at the right time.
01:08So that people can watch it easily.
01:10Because Trump had said that he would like to watch the show.
01:15So we said, let's finish the show.
01:17You have spread a lot of magic by showing the trailer to people.
01:20You have captured people with your magic.
01:23But tell your true audience about the characters you play in the show.
01:28So in Magic of Shiri, I will play the role of Shiri Shroff.
01:33And I am actually a housewife.
01:37But I have some ambitions.
01:39And this is not just a regular story that someone had to become something and he did it.
01:46It's a beautiful story about interpersonal relationships.
01:51And it's a story of Delhi.
01:52It's a Punjabi setup.
01:54Like Shiri Shroff is Punjabi.
01:58By birth, she's Punjabi.
01:59And it's a very beautiful story.
02:02Especially our relationship.
02:05A mentor and mentee.
02:08It has been shaped beautifully.
02:12Magisah, you tell us.
02:14Also, what is it?
02:16Necessity becoming the mother of invention.
02:18That is, they have to take a step out of necessity.
02:24And that step is connected to their childhood dream.
02:29And they feel that now they can spread their wings and fly a little.
02:33So it's complicated, but it's a beautiful story.
02:38A mother, a wife, a daughter-in-law, and a disciple.
02:46All these roles have to be played by Shiri.
02:50And how to balance all these characters.
02:53So it's a beautiful story.
02:55And my character is of magician Salim.
02:57To fulfill his dreams, I become a medium, a way.
03:03And then how changes come in my life.
03:06Those emotional changes that bring confidence.
03:10I was in a lot of negativity.
03:12How do I come in positivity?
03:14So this is my journey with them.
03:16And it's a very beautiful story.
03:19I would like to ask you two questions.
03:23The way we notice something in childhood.
03:25But not at that time, but after that, something comes in handy.
03:28Like a man must have seen a magician in his childhood.
03:32In this film, in this show, how much did that thing come in handy?
03:35Why did you get into that role?
03:36And the second question was, not from a Punjabi background.
03:40You also tried Punjabi.
03:42So what was the difference between the two?
03:44I think being a magician or being Punjabi.
03:47Which was more difficult between the two?
03:50Being Punjabi.
03:52Because I come from a very subtle background.
03:56I am from Gopali.
03:57And I speak in pure Hindi.
04:00So one thing is to hold the language.
04:02Holding Punjabi was a big challenge in itself.
04:06So for that too, I don't know how many scripts I took.
04:10I don't know how many readings I did.
04:11How many rehearsals I did.
04:14I used to tell people who were actually Punjabi.
04:16They were my friends.
04:18I used to tell them, tell me, tell me.
04:21And then I would record myself.
04:23And I would send them my voice recordings.
