00:00I went to give an audition for Bhoot in Ram Leela, but it didn't happen.
00:04After that, I was offered Happy New Year, which I was going to do.
00:07But again, I didn't get it, and it went to Deepika.
00:24One day, I got a call for Balaji.
00:28So I went to give an audition for Bhoot.
00:31Someone was coming, someone else was coming.
00:33I remember, they gave me a white sari.
00:37I was standing there as Bhoot, and I gave a look test for Bhoot.
00:41Even that didn't work out for me.
00:43Just imagine, what was happening to me.
00:46But after 5-6 days, or 1-2 weeks, I got a call from Balaji.
00:52That we are auditioning for a character called Archana.
00:56And it's a Marathi girl's character, who has to wear a sari.
01:00So I told my sister, my sister was with me, Poonam.
01:03I just told her, look Poonam, I don't think I can be Balaji's heroine.
01:07Because Balaji's heroine looks very subtle.
01:10I didn't even wear a sari, I wore a suit.
01:11I said, I don't want to do it.
01:13I was so sure.
01:14So I went.
01:16I gave the audition.
01:17What did I do?
01:18I remember, after my grandfather,
01:20that girls in our house always wear bindis.
01:23Marathi girls, black bindis.
01:24So I just wore that bindi.
01:27And then I gave the audition.
01:28And in 5 days, I got a call that I got selected.
01:39I had given a look test for Ram Leela.
01:40But I didn't get selected for Ram Leela.
01:43Because I think Kareena was doing Ram Leela first.
01:46And then Deepika did it.
01:49So I didn't get selected.
01:50But I did get suggested.
01:52After that, I was offered Happy New Year.
01:55But again, I didn't get it.
01:57And it went to Deepika.
01:59But after that, I got a call for Badlapur.
02:03I was doing Pavitra.
02:05I said, I don't want to do it now.
02:07I mean, it's not happening.
02:08The thing in between.
02:10I was tired.
02:11I thought, no, whatever I'm doing, I'm very happy with that.
02:25Love is full of trials, pain, and separation.
02:29If I'm in love, I forget everything.
02:32And I just focus on that.
02:34I feel like, I've always seen this.
02:36I've seen a lot of women being very successful.
02:39But they don't have love.
02:41You know, I have seen that.
02:42So I always feel that my priority is my love.
02:46These are things that come and go.
02:48Fame, name, money.
02:50If it has to come, it will come.
02:52But if you want to keep love, you have to give a lot of love to yourself.
02:57So I've always this feeling.
02:59And till today, I'm like that.
