00:00Well, I think, it just came up that this beautiful role is happening. And then, the way he gave
00:27all the hues to Nandini was really, really lovely. And for me, it was like easy to just
00:34follow him. He showed me the way and we walked. My job was to enjoy. I enjoyed it a lot.
00:40I was a little nervous because it was a completely new world for me. First of all, these faces
00:46have been shown a lot of love in season 1. So, it felt really nice just being a nice
00:52and a little, what do you say, a little butterflies in the tummy to just enter something with
00:57season 2. So, yes. And then, you're trying to unearth that how will you do this. It takes
01:053-4 days. But, I enjoyed it. I learned a lot. And I forgot a lot and learned again. Unlearning,
01:17what to say. That's a beautiful thing. Shabana ji told me a beautiful thing that when you
01:24act, you get measured a lot. If you look from here to there, how beautiful the expression
01:30is. That's what we feel. But, the other musicians who were with us, they were raw. And suddenly
01:38you see that they did it in one go and it looked lovely. So, I'm like, acting is not just
01:44about looking. It's also about just being you. Just being you. And that energy I got from them.
01:52And this girl here has been so hardworking and very sincere with in spite of being there
02:00through season 1 and getting all the love. I think she's held everyone through the new family
02:06that she had. So, yeah, it just felt amazing to belong to this world. You better have that in
02:12everything you do. Because if you don't have that, the car won't run. You need that. If you're
02:16very sure that you know your work, I think it's never enough. You always have to learn. Especially
02:21when you're doing something like Bantish. Music is a zone where whatever you learn, it's less.
02:29And our director came here after doing a lot of research and carved all the characters beautifully.
02:36And everyone was intertwined with each other. So, we just had to enjoy those nuances and that's
02:42what we all did, I think. And it's turned out really beautiful as an experience, as a show
02:48and as something that I would probably talk back and say I'm so proud of it.
02:57I don't know about pressure. There was a lot of excitement because we're very grateful people have
03:02waited for four years for us. So, I think there was just excitement to kind of give that love back
03:10to the audience. So, pressure I think was sort of self-inflicted for me because when I read the
03:17script, I realized there's a lot of prep required. You know, Tamannaah's character goes to music school.
03:23She also went to music school. So, yeah, it was equal parts of nervousness and excitement.
03:30And how did I deal with it? I mean, I had an amazing bunch of people around me starting from
03:35Anand and Amrit to Divya ma'am to the entire cast. But there's a scene actually in the show that
03:42really stayed with me without giving out too much about how Divya ma'am's character basically
03:49indirectly explains. You know, you're constantly thinking about how you're not good enough,
03:54this is not good enough, this is bad, blah, blah, blah. But sometimes you have to just
03:57tell yourself, I am enough. That's the sense of what she's trying to say.
04:02And that really stayed with me.
04:10It was actually quite beautiful because Tamannaah and Shreya were learning and figuring out things
04:15every single day simultaneously. Like you said, it's majorly there in the writing. But the
04:21workshops that I did with Anand, they really helped. Because obviously, I had a backstory,
04:27very solid one from season one. But in season two, like you said, because there is a arc,
04:32there is this, you know, transformation that happens in her. I had to just hold on to that,
04:38because what you know, the decision of going to music school and becoming a student from being a
04:42star, it stems from a lot of maturity. So then everything that you know, Tamannaah was doing
04:48from there had to have that as a foundation. So if you see her in when you see her in season two,
04:56hopefully people will kind of, you know, pick up on that or relate to that or get empowered by
05:01that. Not that I'm saying she's right or wrong. She's a flawed human being and she makes mistakes
05:06and she's learning.
05:07But that's what makes it very relatable.
05:11So those are all the things that we really like kind of, you know, try to work around.
05:16Like Anand would always say this thing, what would Tamannaah do? Ask yourself that.
05:30So I'm not somebody who really intellectualises acting. Like I don't think I'm capable of
05:39thinking so seriously of myself. And so I don't know if I actively learned anything, but I know
05:48like, just by existing in the same room, and then just by having even the smallest interactions,
05:57like I know energetically I'm absorbing a lot more from her, from the way that she's saying
06:02her lines and the way that she's breathing in between her lines, the way that she's choosing
06:07to look at what point and everything. I know and I hope I did. I know I did sort of somewhere
06:15absorb that subconsciously. But like actively I don't like I just get very overwhelmed if I try
06:21to think about something very consciously. So I just like to keep it that way. And I'm glad
06:28because ma'am was very, she's that kind of person as well, who just internalises her process
06:37and you can just watch and learn. You don't have to necessarily talk all the time.
06:49There's something messed up with my brain where it's a combination of the ability to do it exactly
06:56the way that it has happened before and also not. And it's just a weird combination of that and
07:03having great scene partners, who are all who have one objective that with every take, we need to
07:09make sure that we get it right. And if you need something from me, then we incorporate that and
07:14it's always like, and it's in one of those combinations something but no, that was it like
07:20something magical happens.
07:21But I think you, it cannot be a solo effort of any actor. You have to feed off the other co-actor
07:28for sure. If he takes a pause, then I will also get a pause. If he sees me in a certain way,
07:34then I will also see the same way. Sometimes the most fun is that you start on a certain level,
07:39the other actor will feed off that. When you say, okay, let me just give it another tonality. You
07:45start off on that level and the other actor will go there. That's the fun of doing the team thing.
07:50And I think here everyone's so receptive of taking on that. So I think I also really fed a lot from
07:57all of them.
