00:00What's up everybody? It's official. Celebrities have stopped inviting me to their house.
00:05So today I have a small window with D. Rajkumar Rao on a busy day of movie promotions.
00:10And me being the sweet host that I am, I've ordered him some cupcakes.
00:15Thank you, sir.
00:19There he is. How are you? How are you, sir? I'm good. How are you, sir? I'm great. Love your shirt.
00:23Oh, thank you. Looking absolutely dapper. Thank you so much.
00:25Must be a busy day. Got a lot of promotions happening today.
00:28Oh, yeah. Film is releasing in a week's time now. Promotions are hectic.
00:32I can imagine. I can imagine.
00:33I'm getting used to the idea of promoting a film.
00:36I feel like lift conversations are usually just awkward.
00:40You don't feel that?
00:42Most of them, they are silences.
00:43Yeah.
00:44Sometimes I don't even know where to look.
00:46Oh, it's nice to see you here.
00:47You see me at the number.
00:50I get it. I get it.
00:54Now it really is awkward.
00:55That was my setup. I thought it would last me till the 13th floor.
01:06Motion, I can imagine it's like super hectic.
01:08It is. Our day started around 9, 9.30.
01:11Okay. Do you get annoyed by it or like you've made peace with it?
01:14What's it like?
01:15Now, I've made peace with it.
01:16So, a while back, I saw you at the escape rooms.
01:19Yeah.
01:20How was that going? Did you make it out in an hour's time?
01:24I think even before that.
01:26That's not what the staff told me though.
01:28They were like, sir is in there for 2-3 hours, but it's Raj Kumar.
01:32So, we can't like...
01:33I'm playing Vikram Jai Singh, who is a really sharp cop.
01:37So, no. We didn't take so many hours.
01:39But it's fun.
01:40Yeah.
01:41You get stuck there with your friends and then you have to figure out your way out.
01:43Right. Right.
01:44So, you'd say you have pretty good deduction skills.
01:46I have. I have.
01:47Okay. Nice.
01:48I have very good investigative skills.
01:50Nice.
01:51So, you're married.
01:52Yep.
01:53Congratulations.
01:54Thank you so much.
01:55How is married life, sir? Tell us. Is the grass greener?
01:57It is greener.
01:58It is.
01:59I think everyone should get married.
02:00And especially if it's with the love of your life and somebody who is also your best friend.
02:05I think two people who can just be with each other 24x7 without getting bored and still having lots of fun.
02:10Right.
02:11And each day feels like a new, fresh day.
02:14I think that you should just get married to that person.
02:17I mean...
02:18That's exactly what happened with me.
02:19Sir, I mean, I want advice, okay? Because I'm trying to...
02:22Don't call me Raj. Please don't keep calling me sir.
02:24So, Raj, I'm messaging girls, okay?
02:26I'm like, hey, would you want to go out with me?
02:27They all reply.
02:28Of course, they say no.
02:29But they reply fast.
02:30But how do I navigate?
02:32Give some advice to the younger audience.
02:34How do you sustain a relationship?
02:36Give some tips on that.
02:37Trust is very important.
02:39And understanding is the key factor.
02:42To understand each other and not to keep, you know, not to keep complaining.
02:47Okay.
02:48Don't be nicky-picky.
02:49Compromise.
02:50Yeah.
02:51I called you three times, why didn't you pick up?
02:53I think that understanding factor has to be there.
02:55For your wedding photos, I believe you were wearing sneakers.
02:58Yeah, for one of the events.
02:59Okay, yeah.
03:00I love wearing sneakers.
03:01So, you consider yourself a sneakerhead?
03:03Yeah, yeah.
03:04Absolutely.
03:05Do you collect perhaps?
03:06I do.
03:07I do.
03:08I won't say I don't.
03:09But I'm not crazy that everything I have to buy.
03:11But yeah, I've got enough.
03:13Now, I think Patralika has told me to stop buying any more sneakers and to buy something else.
03:18Right.
03:19So, we're going to do a quick rapid fire.
03:21All right.
03:22Okay.
03:23And I want you to answer really quickly.
03:24Don't take any time.
03:25Sure.
03:26If you do it right, you know, you could be the winner of two cupcakes.
03:29Okay.
03:30No matter what.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Let's see.
03:33Let's see.
03:34Two cupcakes.
03:35I'll do anything for cupcakes.
03:36Yeah.
03:37The Brute Budgets is skyrocketing.
03:38There's no telling where we will go.
03:39As I was telling you earlier, I'm such a big fan of your channel.
03:42I think you guys make some great content so responsibly, which is in need of the hour.
03:47Thank you, Raj.
03:48So, we're going to start rapid fire with Rajkummar Rao.
03:50All right.
03:51What is the first thing you do in the morning?
03:53First thing I do, I take a leak.
03:56Oh.
03:57Okay.
03:58What's your guilty...
03:59The pressure is unbelievable.
04:00I can imagine.
04:01What's your guilty pleasure?
04:03Pizzas, gelatos.
04:05What's your pet peeve?
04:07When people are lazy at their jobs.
04:10Who's your worst critic?
04:12Myself and Patrulekha.
04:13Do you have a favorite airport look?
04:15No, I just want to be in my comfort clothes.
04:17Especially some anti-fits.
04:18Your most called contact?
04:20Patrulekha, for sure.
04:21What's the most expensive thing you own?
04:24My friends and my relationship.
04:27Deep answer.
04:28Box office success or critically acclaimed?
04:31Respect, more than anything.
04:33And the last one, your favorite Delhi hangout?
04:36Money House.
04:37When I was doing theater during my graduation.
04:39I'm very fond of that area.
04:41The whole South Delhi area.
04:42I'm very, very fond of that part.
04:44Okay.
04:45Nailed it.
04:46That was the rapid fire.
04:47I'm happy to present you with these cupcakes.
04:50Here you are, sir.
04:51Thank you so much.
04:52Enjoy.
04:53I would like to thank my family, my friends.
04:55This was the award I was always, always dreaming about.
05:00Yeah, yeah.
05:01No worries.
05:02No worries.
05:03Okay, sir.
05:04So, are you familiar with Gen Z lingo?
05:05Are you familiar with this internet trend?
05:06The way the kids are speaking?
05:07Little bit.
05:08Little bit.
05:09Okay.
05:10So, we have a segment on our show where we quiz our guests on it.
05:12It's called OK Boomer.
05:13I'm going to throw some...
05:14I'm going to suck at it.
05:15No, no, no.
05:16I'm going to throw some words at you.
05:17Just guess what you think it means.
05:18All right.
05:19So, the first word is slaps.
05:20What does slaps mean?
05:21Slaps?
05:22Hmm.
05:23Slaps means slaps.
05:24Huh, but...
05:25Slang.
05:26For the people of Delhi, slaps means slaps.
05:27But, like, what could it mean in, like, the slang connotation?
05:30Oh, slaps.
05:31Why would someone say, like, that slaps?
05:34Sucks.
05:35Okay.
05:36Well, it actually means it's really good.
05:38So, you can say, this song slaps.
05:40This song slaps.
05:41Yeah.
05:42This interview slaps.
05:43There it is.
05:44There it is.
05:45Let's go.
05:46I like it.
05:47Next one is a phrase.
05:48Okay.
05:49She ate it and left no crumbs.
05:50Why would someone say that?
05:51She...
05:52I don't know.
05:53I'm just going with the literal meaning.
05:54Yeah.
05:55She cleaned it so well, uh, somewhere there.
05:59Okay.
06:00Well, see, it basically means when someone nails something.
06:02Oh.
06:03Oh, she ate it and left no crumbs.
06:05Okay.
06:06It's like a phrase.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Okay.
06:09Next one is noob.
06:10What does noob mean?
06:11Noob.
06:12Noob.
06:13Yeah.
06:14N-O-O-B.
06:15Noob.
06:16What a noob.
06:17Like, loser?
06:18Close.
06:19Uh, it means amateur.
06:20Amateur.
06:21So, it started from the gaming community.
06:22You're like, you're a noob, dude.
06:23You can't even play.
06:24Noob.
06:25Okay.
06:26Yeah.
06:27You're not doing too well, sir.
06:28Last one is finsta.
06:29What does a finsta mean?
06:30Insta, I'm sure.
06:31There's something insta.
06:32What's a film insta?
06:33I don't know.
06:34You know what, I feel like taking back the cupcakes.
06:39Finsta.
06:40Yes.
06:41Finish your Instagram.
06:42No.
06:43Okay.
06:44Fed up with Insta.
06:46Oh, okay.
06:47Finsta means it's like a secondary Instagram, right?
06:50So, you would have your normal Instagram and then you make like a fake Instagram for like
06:54very less following, just your close circle.
06:56So, you'll make a finsta.
06:58That's a finsta.
06:59That's a finsta, yeah.
07:00This generation is amazing.
07:01Yeah, it is.
07:02It is.
07:03Please, right at camera number six.
07:04You guys are amazing.
07:05Okay.
07:06Sir, so next I wanted to show you some of your older photos.
07:10Okay.
07:11Get you to react to them.
07:12Just give us some juicy insights on what's happening.
07:15Yes, please.
07:16This is the first photo.
07:19Very cute.
07:20Yeah.
07:21I feel that.
07:22I'm with Shahrukh sir.
07:23Yes.
07:24SRK.
07:25I love him.
07:26So, we were at his house.
07:28There was a party and he invited us there.
07:31And this was pretty late at night actually.
07:33I said, sir, can you, you know, and he saw us three.
07:36And he and I think his kids also loved it.
07:39And then I just asked him to say Bikki, please with me.
07:43And he did that for me.
07:44He is super.
07:45Super sweet.
07:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:47You know, all this while as a kid growing up, even now, we've been seeing his dialogues,
07:50you know, even in life.
07:53But for him to say my lines was pretty magical.
07:56It's an absolute banger.
07:57This is, yeah, this is class 10th.
07:59Class 10th and we went on a school trip to Mussoorie.
08:03Yeah.
08:04But one thing, you know, I realized even going through all your photos, sir, your fashion
08:07was always 10 out of 10.
08:08Oh, yeah.
08:09That's the consistent.
08:10I was a very filmic kid.
08:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:12Do you pay a lot of attention to your looks?
08:13Not at all.
08:14Okay.
08:15It's natural.
08:16I don't even have to try.
08:17Okay.
08:18Though I have a very small incident to tell you.
08:19Like when, you know, farewell party happens after class 10th and so I, financially it
08:23wasn't like that great where I come from.
08:25So, but I wanted to look good.
08:26I wanted to do something.
08:27It was also, I choreographed a song with my male friends.
08:30Boys, yeah.
08:31And we performed.
08:32So, I had what to wear.
08:33So, I went to the Chor Bazaar in Delhi.
08:36I bought a jacket worth 100 rupees.
08:39I bought a chain, I think worth some 15 rupees.
08:41Okay.
08:42And I was prepared for that farewell party.
08:45Okay, nice.
08:46What's happening in this photo?
08:48This was my first play.
08:49It's Rex Oedipus.
08:51It's a Greek tragedy.
08:52Oedipus, the king.
08:53If you ask people who are from the theatre community, playing Oedipus is a big deal.
08:57It's like Hamlet.
08:58It's like the Hamlet of Greek tragedy.
09:00Right.
09:01It's a big, big deal.
09:02Now, your wedding photos went kind of viral for all the right reasons.
09:05Yeah.
09:06This is so sweet.
09:07Please tell us about this.
09:08So, this was very impromptu.
09:09And I'm, I'm a big feminist myself.
09:12And I, and you know, I've been seeing all my life the rituals of a wedding, Hindu wedding.
09:18And when I was putting Sindoor in Patalekas, on Patalekas forehead, very impromptu I thought
09:24that why not?
09:25She can also do the same to me.
09:26So, I asked her to, you know, keep.
09:28Mujhe bhi laga do.
09:29And she did that.
09:30Very sweet.
09:31Very sweet.
09:32And the last photo.
09:35This was happening.
09:36Wedding was a rage.
09:37Okay.
09:38It looks like it.
09:39For three days.
09:40That's how I was for three days.
09:41I think almost without clothes.
09:42Just dancing.
09:43How it should be.
09:44How it should be.
09:45And I don't drink.
09:46I don't do nothing.
09:47I was super high.
09:48But I still, I don't do anything.
09:49I was just high on, I think, there was a lot of sugar rush.
09:51We were just dancing.
09:52Man, there's a lot of like, see, geechar, everything.
09:55But we didn't care.
09:56We were just having fun.
09:57So good.
09:58But this was the pool party, which was the first event of the first day.
10:00Okay.
10:01Actually, I have one last photo.
10:02And it's this little cutie over here.
10:04Who is this person?
10:05Who is this person?
10:06I have no idea.
10:07Look at, such a cute kid.
10:08Yeah.
10:09See, he loves the camera so much.
10:10He's still looking, facing the camera.
10:11That's true.
10:12From day one.
10:13Day one.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Paps are following me.
10:16My mother must be the pap at that time.
10:17So, your upcoming movie, HIT.
10:19Yes.
10:20Talk to us about that.
10:21How excited are you?
10:22And like, what sort of preparations were you going in to fit the role?
10:25Well, it's a tough part.
10:26To be honest, I haven't really done something similar as of now.
10:30HIT is a thriller, as the trailer suggests.
10:33And in case you haven't seen the trailer, please go watch the trailer.
10:35And then watch the film on 15th July.
10:36It's a very fast pace.
10:38There are lots of twists and turns.
10:40It keeps you hooked throughout.
10:42I think that's the perfect note to end it.
10:45I know you have a busy day with a lot of promotions.
10:47So, I'm going to get out of your hair.
10:48Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
10:50Thank you so much.
10:51It was so nice meeting you.
10:52Thanks a lot.
