00:00I still get so much love for Kidan.
00:15The Pro-Punjab League, which is our arm-wrestling league.
00:21They were looking for a fresh face for a Colgate gel ad.
00:25So they came to our college and they were distributing pamphlets
00:28that whoever wants to come and audition, please come and audition.
00:32So then this was approved by the college.
00:36So of course, we only wanted to bunk class.
00:39So we went to audition and we went to shoot it in Ooty.
00:42And I think modeling just kind of started from there.
00:54No, it's like everybody still tells me about that toy
00:57and still remembers it and still remembers the video.
01:07When we received the offer to meet Adi for Yash Raj Films,
01:12we didn't even know that, you know, Yash Raj Films is,
01:15you know, who they are in terms of, you know, the world of filmmaking.
01:20And it's later only when people told us that you're crazy,
01:23you have to do this film.
01:25So it's only later that we realized that.
01:28So even meeting Shah Rukh Khan and Mr. Amitabh Bachchan,
01:31I think they are such down to earth people, both of them.
01:35They don't give off that air that, listen, I'm a superstar
01:38and you've got to behave this way with me.
01:40They were so friendly and so genuinely friendly and interested in your life.
01:56It didn't bother me that that that was the image that I was carrying of this
02:00very sweet, soft, very nice.
02:03In real life also, I was not very loud.
02:26I was always very busy with my shows and my events,
02:28and I was always busy working.
02:30Then we started our company, Swen Entertainment.
02:33So I was always very busy with that.
02:35And films, I've always done films as and when I've got the films that I like.
02:43When we saw an arm wrestling match for the first time,
02:45we realized what an edge of the seat feeling it is.
02:50And there are so many people who are like,
02:53It is.
02:53And there are so many arm wrestlers in India.
02:56The Indian Arm Wrestling Federation, whom we've tied up with,
02:59have been conducting amateur tournaments for so many years, more than 20 years.
03:04And there are so many players.
03:06But the only thing they don't have right now is the push, the proper training,
03:10the proper exposure and the proper infrastructure,
03:13which is what a Pro Pancha League is providing to them.
03:16I'm choosing movies and scripts as and when I like them.
