Short filmTranscript
00:00What's up internet? Today we're going to be meeting another fashion icon, Seema Sajdeh.
00:04So of course your boy is dripped out with his statement piece. I'm going to be real subtle
00:08about it this interview. I'll let Seema be like, hey now that's a nice watch. I'll be like,
00:12Seema? I didn't know you'd see my watch. Let's go.
00:20Hi.
00:20Hello.
00:21Oh my god.
00:29Seema.
00:30My nest.
00:30This is a beautiful house.
00:32This is one of the best houses I've seen in all the episodes.
00:35Wow. Now you're just embarrassing me.
00:37No, no. I mean I do say that to all our guests. So I mean it this time.
00:41I assume that I couldn't be the only one. I can't just be the only lucky one.
00:45What's happening here? This is quite a statement piece.
00:46Isn't it lovely?
00:47Yes, it's great.
00:48It's a mama goat.
00:49A mama goat. Okay, very nice.
00:51So this was my first piece of art I bought.
00:53And then of course we have the in-house bar.
00:56Yes.
00:56What happens here? Do you throw a lot of parties?
00:59So not parties. I mean I have a lot of get-togethers and this is,
01:04can I say it's my pride and joy without sounding too?
01:06No, no. Please go for it.
01:09But yeah, this is the space where everyone comes and hangs out. I mean I have a living room and
01:13stuff. But you know in Bombay to have an outdoor and then all of this. So they,
01:18everyone congregates kind of.
01:20Yeah, where the alcohol is.
01:21Where the alcohol is, where the, yeah.
01:24So you like collecting art?
01:26I, I have, truth be told, I'm clueless about it.
01:30Okay.
01:31Like they show me these paintings and you know this one's a really famous artist.
01:35That looks a bit scary and that looks a bit like, you know what I'm saying?
01:38Yeah, yeah.
01:39Like it has to appeal to me.
01:40Sure, sure, sure. You're selective.
01:42Yes.
01:42Got it, okay. And I see some chocolate.
01:44Chocolate, you'll always find chocolate and candy in my house. Sours especially.
01:47I'm obsessed and so is my son.
01:48You like sour candy?
01:49Oh, I love sour candy.
01:50Sour Patch Kids?
01:51Oh my god. And Warheads.
01:53Oh my god, now you're speaking.
01:54You know when I give someone Warheads, I'm like, what the F are you eating this?
01:59I'm like, you know what? You don't understand. You don't understand. You don't get it.
02:03It's about for the fame.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Now we have some family photos there.
02:06Yes.
02:06Tell us a little bit about these.
02:08This is like my family corner. So those are my parents and that's my, my oldest son who's now 22.
02:14He will be 22. So that's his picture. That was him as a baby and that's my younger one.
02:19That's again an old picture. Next time you come, maybe you'll see new pictures.
02:22So next time, guys, I love it. Can we see what's upstairs?
02:26Sure. So but I have to tell you about this.
02:28This art is by my dearest friend, Gauri Khan. As you can see, it fell down. So she does this
02:35herself. It's 3D multimedia.
02:39Okay.
02:39And I, you know, she's been my friend for now, I think over 25 years. And she's super talented.
02:46And I have been chasing her. And she finally gifted me these.
02:51Yeah.
02:52So I'm lucky.
02:53Gauri, if you're watching this, just look.
02:54Gauri Khan's art.
02:55It's not even hung up. It's just kept over there.
02:58I was told she also helped design some parts of your house.
03:01You know, she did. In fact, that table, these two are hers. It's my space, right? And I spend a lot
03:06of time at home. I'm actually a home cat and I'm a bit of a loner. So this used to be Nirvan's
03:17bedroom. But he's away in university now, in LA. So I've like kind of taken over his room.
03:25Yes.
03:26I hope Nirvan never sees the show because he'd be very upset with me.
03:31And this is where you're working out?
03:32This is where I work out. I mean, if you know anything about my personality, I cannot go, I
03:37work out like maybe five or six days a week. Can you see my strap is still hanging? My trainer has
03:42been told. I said you cannot, he's training my mother, my sister, Nirvan, everybody here. I said
03:48I'm going to start charging you guys rent.
03:50And what are you listening to?
03:53My playlist, I'm constantly updating. I'm a huge 80s fan.
03:56Okay.
03:57And thanks to my boys. I'm always on, I'm on Apple. So whatever the new music is, it just has
04:02to have lyrics.
04:03Lyrics, yeah. No dubstep and weird things.
04:06No.
04:06Okay, got it.
04:06I mean, I have the occasional rap and hip hop and all, a few of them.
04:11Can you name a rap artist?
04:12Like, I mean, is Travis Scott in here?
04:15Yes, let's go. Shout out Travis.
04:17A few Travis Scott.
04:18Very nice. Some Drake perhaps?
04:20Drake, yes.
04:20Yes, okay.
04:21I was listening to Drake this morning.
04:23Very cool.
04:23Yeah. So this is where I kind of unwind. This is my morning coffee, my afternoon coffee, my phone
04:29calls, all of it. If you want to see my bedroom actually, is anyone in here?
04:33Of course, yeah.
04:36Can they open? My mother's here. She refused to leave today.
04:40You know, my mother doesn't see enough of me that I think she tails me for a day just to know
04:44what I'm doing.
04:46Gotta love that.
04:47That's my mother. Say hi. Put on some lights. No, it's okay. It's fine, ma. It's fine. Chill.
04:57Yeah, so that's, it's a bit of a mess.
04:59Seema cushion. I love that.
05:01That's from my show. So, he sent it to me.
05:04Yeah.
05:04And I'm not taking you into my wardrobe.
05:06No, we don't get to see the wardrobe?
05:07No, you don't get to see my walk-in closet because it's not done yet.
05:11Okay.
05:11That's next time. If you're nice to me in this one.
05:13Oh, for sure.
05:14Come.
05:15Okay, so now we're going to do some segments.
05:18Yes.
05:19I'm nervous. Should I be nervous?
05:20You shouldn't be. The first segment, the one that the internet has never asked for but I keep
05:25doing it is where the guest is going to rate my outfit.
05:29Wow. Okay.
05:30I'll give you a twirl.
05:32Please do.
05:34Okay, so let me start off with, I like the neck piece. You know that I love doing this in my
05:41free time. I have a whole box of beads and bobbles. Denim jacket is a must have.
05:47Must have.
05:48You can't go wrong with black.
05:49I love the way this is going.
05:51I love the black and I like the cashmere but explain to me, did you borrow that watch from
05:57your niece, your nephew, your son, your daughter? What's going on there?
06:02This is a statement piece of the highest order.
06:05Can't you just get an Apple watch?
06:07No, no, this has, that has nothing on this. Look at that. Look at that.
06:11I didn't even notice the time.
06:13You know I had that in grade two, right?
06:16Okay.
06:17So, I can tell that you have that child in you.
06:20Sure, sure, yes.
06:21That's a brownie point.
06:22So, what's the, give a number rating.
06:24Okay, I'll give you a six.
06:26Six out of six? I'll take it.
06:27Six out of ten.
06:28Six out of six, I'll take it. I love it.
06:29On a scale of one to ten, I'll give you a six.
06:31So, you are the star of the show, The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Vibes.
06:36I am. We are four stars.
06:37Okay.
06:39Let's maybe talk about the not so fabulous parts of it.
06:42Okay.
06:42What is it like actually being on a reality TV show where all your actions are
06:47out in the public for people to judge?
06:49None of it is scripted.
06:51Just FYI.
06:52Okay.
06:53And it's a ride.
06:54It's actually so much fun.
06:57It's like a picnic.
06:58Like you know when you're in school and we'll go on those school trips and the
07:01picnics and what goes on there.
07:03It's like that.
07:04Have people started recognizing you even more after the show?
07:07Definitely.
07:08At least I can get, you know what I'm enjoying?
07:10When I travel and I can't get a booking at a restaurant.
07:13I'm like, can I use this?
07:15Can I use?
07:17I love that for you.
07:19Would you consider yourself a cool mom or a tough mom?
07:23Are you nuts?
07:24I'm the coolest.
07:26My kids bully me.
07:26Hair questions, yeah.
07:27And my younger one, he just looked at me.
07:29He's very particular about what I wear.
07:31He hates it when I wear Indian for some strange reason.
07:34Okay.
07:35Like when I'm in shorts and stuff, he's like, mom, you look good today.
07:37Oh, okay.
07:40So weirdo, wacko.
07:41But he looked at me and he looked at, he looked at me and he's like, you know what?
07:44Your hair's too curly.
07:46Do you not know it doesn't work?
07:48Oh my god.
07:48It's not working.
07:50He was nine at the time.
07:52Any words your children are using that you don't understand these days?
07:56You know, one of the reasons why I think I know a lot of the lingo is because they're
08:00talking to me like that.
08:01So I don't understand.
08:02When I go Google, I'm like, what did he just say?
08:04Like, I don't want to sound uncool and I want to sound like, you know, I want him to be
08:08able to think that his mom is cool and she can converse with me.
08:11So I'm like Googling on the side, like what the hell was this that he just said?
08:14I'm going to tell you, I am a goldfish.
08:16You can tell me something today and I may, I may completely blank it out tomorrow.
08:21Even names and stuff.
08:23I'm like.
08:23Yeah, you called me dude in this interview.
08:25I'm like, sorry, Nihal.
08:28But I am like that.
08:29I'm a big goldfish.
08:30So we're going to do the OK Boomer segment.
08:33What is that?
08:34I'm going to quiz you on some of the Gen Z lingo.
08:36No, no, you can't.
08:37And you're going to tell me, and you're going to tell me what it means.
08:40Or just take your best guess.
08:41Okay, very cool.
08:42That's fine.
08:42That's easy.
08:43I'm usually, you know, when I'm put on the spot, I don't know it.
08:45But I'll try.
08:46Can I pass my phone?
08:47No, no, no, that's fine.
08:48I can quietly Google under here.
08:50I have a hiding spot under here.
08:52The first word is simp.
08:55Simp, I know.
08:55I know what simp, they're using with me all the time.
08:58What is simp?
08:58They call you a simp?
08:59No, they don't call me a simp.
09:00But I've heard it.
09:01I've heard it very often.
09:02Yes.
09:04What could it mean?
09:04No, no, I know what it means.
09:05Gosh, I need, I need help.
09:07I know what it means.
09:09Clue me now.
09:13Okay, it's something related to a relationship.
09:16Between two people.
09:18You would call someone a simp.
09:19It's when somebody likes somebody so much
09:22that they'll let the other person walk all over them.
09:25This guy is such a simp.
09:26He's such a simp.
09:27Hand-pecked.
09:28Yes.
09:28He's like a, how do you say it?
09:30Okay, okay.
09:31Hand-pecked in my day, dude.
09:32What does caught in 4k mean?
09:34What?
09:35Caught in 4k.
09:36I caught you in 4k.
09:38You have to cut this segment out.
09:39This is all there.
09:40You have to cut this segment out.
09:42Because my boys are going to be very disappointed.
09:45Caught in 4k.
09:46So after this interview,
09:48if you went to your laptop and you're like,
09:49where can I get a turtle watch near me?
09:51And I saw you, I'd be like, hey, what are you doing?
09:53And then you'd be like, nothing.
09:54I caught you in 4k.
09:56It's a fancier way of saying I caught you red-handed.
10:00Thanks for teaching me that.
10:01Yeah.
10:02I'm going to use it today.
10:03Yeah.
10:03Are you also going to buy a turtle watch?
10:05No, never.
10:05So the next one is thirsty.
10:09Thirsty, I know, yeah.
10:10It means you're like,
10:11when you see a dude and he's like,
10:13you know what I'm saying?
10:14No, because you didn't say anything.
10:15When you're checking out dudes,
10:16when the guys are checking out the chicks,
10:18it's like you're thirsty.
10:19Yeah, sure.
10:20A little desperate type.
10:21Yeah, yeah.
10:22There you go.
10:22You're getting some right.
10:23Cool.
10:24What is a hype beast?
10:26Hype beast is someone who's like totally into those,
10:30the trends and the sneakers and that.
10:33Basically the Kanye West.
10:35Sure, sure.
10:36Fashion is like hype beast.
10:37Yeah.
10:37Yeah.
10:38You're doing very well.
10:39That much I know.
10:40Simp I knew, but I was blanking.
10:42I can't give you that one.
10:43Okay.
10:44You have to give me that one.
10:44No, no, no.
10:45You didn't say anything.
10:46Okay, I agree.
10:48Okay.
10:48Well, that's the segment.
10:49Yeah.
10:49But now that we're on the topic of fashion,
10:52tell us a little bit about your fashion label.
10:55So, I'm getting into athleisure
10:57and it's all about the graphics,
10:59the designs and the inspirations.
11:00It's all about the mindset.
11:02You know, the kids today,
11:04they're not like what we were when we were growing up.
11:06Like, I find it fascinating.
11:08I didn't know s*** at that age.
11:10At 20, I didn't know s***.
11:12I think my 11-year-old is smarter
11:14than what I was at the age of 18.
11:17So, I just think that there's beauty in the darkness
11:20and I'm kind of bringing that forward.
11:23Very cool.
11:23It's for both.
11:24It's unisex.
11:25Okay.
11:25So, you're gonna send me a pair maybe?
11:27Yeah, I will.
11:28I will.
11:30Shall we maybe sit down?
11:32Please.
11:32I'm gonna show you some photos of like other celebrities.
11:36How do I say this?
11:37Very bold outfits.
11:39Okay.
11:40At the Met Gala or various events.
11:42And we're just gonna react to them.
11:43Okay.
11:44Yes, let's do that.
11:45Let's do that.
11:46Lady Gaga in a meat dress.
11:48She is outstanding.
11:52Listen, it takes b******s to wear this.
11:56Would you ever wear this?
11:58No, I'm not Lady Gaga, unfortunately.
12:01Okay.
12:01I can't carry that one off.
12:03But you...
12:04Maybe minus the shoes.
12:06I could, but not the meat.
12:08But it's a lot of steaks.
12:10It's a lot of...
12:10No, no, I can't do that.
12:11Yeah, this outfit is a mistake.
12:13Yeah.
12:14What is she doing?
12:14Is she wearing a quilt?
12:15We've got Rihanna and we've got A$AP Rocky.
12:18Yeah, it appears to be they're wearing...
12:19No, no, this is not doing it for me.
12:21Right?
12:21No.
12:22Hey, I hate how they can just wear a blanket in the middle of the day.
12:24Yeah, I mean like what the hell is that?
12:26No, no, no, this is not...
12:27This is not an effort.
12:28This is just pick up my quilt and drape it all over me.
12:30No, no, this is not happening.
12:32Yeah, this is not happening.
12:35Guys, who put this photo here?
12:36Oh my god.
12:38Is that you?
12:39Guys, what are you guys doing?
12:41Okay, that look I'd rate like an 8.
12:45Okay.
12:46Yeah.
12:46Yeah.
12:47Let's go.
12:47That look I'd rate an 8.
12:48Let's go.
12:50The next segment is I'm going to show photos of you now.
12:53Oh.
12:53Yes.
12:53But not fashion-centric but just older photos of you and just tell us about it.
12:58Okay, older photos of me, scary.
13:00Okay.
13:00This is the first one.
13:02Wow.
13:04Okay, you know Karan is going to kill me.
13:06Yeah.
13:06These were those awfully...
13:08This picture is at least 25 years old.
13:10Yeah.
13:10At least 25.
13:11I don't even think I had Nirvana at this point.
13:14It was like...
13:14This is like really, really way back.
13:16This is a throwback.
13:17Do you remember when you took this though?
13:19No, I'm lying.
13:20But it's in Goa for sure.
13:22And then we got this photo.
13:25Oh, this one was at...
13:27We had gone for a fashion show, one of the Lakme fashion shows.
13:30I believe it's that one.
13:33Yeah, we had gone for one of the fashion shows.
13:35This is also an old...
13:36Really, my God, these are really old.
13:38It makes me nostalgic.
13:38Look at Suhana and Shanaya, they're like babies.
13:41And of course, Nirvana and Suhana are exactly six months apart.
13:45Actually, it's so weird that I actually found out I was pregnant on my way to go see Gauri
13:50when Suhana was born in the hospital.
13:52And I was like, I entered the hospital doubly happy.
13:55How sweet, how sweet.
13:56This is great fun.
13:57Yeah.
13:58Yeah, I didn't think...
13:59I thought it would be like one of those same questions again.
14:01No, no, no.
14:02That's what we do.
14:03New segments, we got the watch.
14:04Come on.
14:05If you had prepared me, I'd have done my homework.
14:07Urban dictionary.
14:09You would have googled all the words.
14:10Urban dictionary is my go-to.
14:12All right.
14:13All right.
14:14Will you walk me out?
14:15Please.
14:15Yes.
14:16Of course, I will.
14:18I'm known to be a good host.
14:20Yeah?
14:21Yes.
14:22But thank you so much for this.
14:24It was great fun.
14:25Yes, likewise.
14:26And thank you for the compliments.
14:28Yes.
14:28I'm a happy camper today.
14:30Bye, Nihal.
14:31See you.
14:31Bye, Seema.
14:32See ya.
14:33Bye.
14:34Bye.
