00:09bit more about your role or the world that she comes from and her value system
00:12in general yeah it's Armaan ko produce kiya hai Moonleaf ne aur direct kiya hai
00:21Manchan Vakil ji ne. Puri shooting humne Kashmir me ki hai aur Kashmir me
00:27kaam karke bahut hi maza aaya it was beautiful jitna location beautiful tha
00:31utne khubsurat artist bhi the waha ke 75% artist waha ke hai aur sab logon ne
00:37bahut pyaar se aur bahut achche se kaam kiya it's really very nice
00:40yeh ek drama hai romantic drama me bahut different twist ke saath hai
00:48aap mai chahungi ki aap sab dikhein bahut acchi bani hai. I believe this is
00:56your first project in 45 years after agar that's shot in Kashmir is that so
01:00I think so pata nahi kyun kyun ki humare producers waha jaana ban kar diya I think
01:05they should go it's a beautiful place aur log bahut achche hai I think it's a
01:08very safe place okay and if you could tell us about your role just on the
01:13periphery without delving in too much. Mera role toh jaise family ka hi role hai
01:18ko itna specific koi role nahi hai lekin accha hai poori family ki family ka
01:24subject hai romantic bachon ki romance ke baare mein hai toh isli ka aisa koi nahi
01:29ki jaisa main kuch kar rahi hu aisa kuch nahi it's a very natural simple film
01:34and you have a very rich experience and a great body of work behind you
01:38yes yes seeing the cinema changing in totality you know in these all these
01:42years satellite came then you know OTT has just you know as a shot up after the
01:48pandemic specifically. In terms of the working of the industry or you know the
01:53influence of the artists what major change have you seen in all these years
01:57compared to. Change toh bahut change toh aaya hai aisi baat mein yeh nahi kahungi
02:01bilkul change nahi hua camera even technically bhi kaafi changes aagaye
02:06pehle toh different cameras hua karte the abhi different camera hain. Hamare
02:10zamane mein toh zyada toh Mitchell mein hamkar karte the jahan pe dubbing bahut
02:13kam hua karte the. Aaj kal toh dubbing hoti hai aur camera pata nahi upar se
02:18jaara, neeche se jaara, kaha kaha se jaara. Lekin jab usme changes aasakte hain toh
02:24artist mein bhi bahut saare changes aaye hain. Aur aana bhi chahiye aur aate rahenge.
02:28And iss cheez ko thoda aur aage badhate hain. Aapne iske pehle sawal mein aapne
02:33kahati you know 70% of the artists are from Kashmir. Now in such a
02:37setup where you know everything it's so dynamic in terms of the equipment that
02:41the way it's shot. Even the artist you know you're interacting with new set of
02:44people perhaps a new language new culture all together. How does it add to
02:48the repertory of an artist in your opinion?
02:50Aap zara iss sawal Hindi mein karenge?
02:52Agree toh bahut kam chahiye.
02:54Kis tarah se you know alag-alag
02:56alag-alag kism ki artist ke saath mein
02:58local artist ke saath mein interact karna
03:00wo kis tarah se aapke work mein jhalagta hai
03:02when it comes on screen?
03:04Nahi unke saath mein jab kaam kar rahi thi toh mujhe aasa lagayi
03:06nahi ki mein koi matlab maha se kar rahi thi.
03:08Hindi toh sabhi baat karte hain.
03:10Toh this was not in a different
03:12language ki jo humko bahut gauhar
03:14karna padega.
03:16Mujhe toh aasa lagayi jaise hum apne artist
03:18ke saath, Bombay ke artist ke saath hi kaam kar rahi hain
03:20aur wahaan ke log bahut acha kaam karte hain.
03:22Aisi baat nahi hai. Mere khayal se aaj kal

03:28talented hain.

03:50specifically that scene wherein

04:42Jab mein Pune Film Institute gayi thi

04:46Telugu mein meri padhaayi hui thi.
04:48Ho rahi thi toh main actually school chhod ke
04:50main wahan chali gayi.
04:52Aur meri Hindi bahut hi kharaab thi.

05:00Toh log haste the the
05:02Shabana, Kamaljeet Singh, Shailendra Singh
05:04ye log toh humare batch ke the.
05:06Toh they used to make fun of my Hindi.
05:08Abhi dheere dheere main wahan se
05:10karte karte confidence aaya gaya.
05:12Diction classes bahut humare hua karte thi.
05:14Diction ki wajah se kaafi
05:16meri zawaan mein sudhaar aaya.
05:18Aur
05:20that was a beautiful experience.
05:22Itna college toh nahi gayi
05:24lekin wahan college jaane ki barabar tha.
05:26It was very nice.
05:28The volume of work on OTT has suddenly increased.
05:30Har kisi ke paas aaj har khaam
05:32kuch se aa raha hai.
05:34Pehle films ya theatrical jab thi
05:36work kaafi limited tha.
05:38Ab har platform ki apni web series hain.
05:40Har series ko multiple seasons hain.
05:42Us waqt actually zyada log
05:44bahut saare ache artist aati the.
05:46Kaam nahi milne ki wajah se kitne logon ne
05:48industry chhod ke chale gaye.
05:50Bombay chhod ke chale gaye.
05:52Kuch logon ne suicide kar liya.
05:54Dekin aaj waisa nahi hai.
05:56Aaj kaam bahut hai.
05:58Itne platforms hain.
06:00Jo bhi aayega koi khaali nahi jaayega.
06:02Sabko kaam milega yaha.
06:04Itne huge amount of work me
06:06kya kabhi kabhi bohot mushkil ho jata hai?
06:08Acha kaam to aa raha hai
06:10but inme se kya choose karne?
06:12Itna kaam zyada nahi aaya ki
06:14hum choose na kar sakhe.
06:16We used to choose and we used to do it.
06:18Aaj bhi itne saalon ke baad
06:20we have started doing mother roles.
06:22To aaj bhi maa ka role achha ho
06:24to hi mere paas aate hain.
06:26Peeche khade rehna,
06:28aise roles to nahi aate hain.
06:30Ek zamana tha,
06:32aaj mujhe kaam
06:34karne ki zarurat nahi hai.
06:36Phir bhi I want to work, I don't have to work.
06:38And as an artist,
06:40jo itna time se industry me
06:42ek industry ke part rehna hai,
06:44wo kya cheez hai jo aap industry ko apni taraf se dena chahate
06:46apni community ko apni taraf se
06:48as an artist, as a give back dena chahenge aap?
06:50Achha kaam karun aur achha behaviour
06:52rakhun,
06:54panchal rahun,
06:56time par jaun, bas isse zyada
06:58main kya keh sakte hain.
07:00Meri ki generation hai, jo workforce me abhi abhi
07:02enter kar rahe hain.
07:04Unka ek kaafi alag tariqa hai,
07:06ek alag nazariya hai kaam ke prati.
07:08Meri generation, ya humare pehle ki generation,
07:10ya aapki bhi generation ki log hain,
07:12wo apne kaam ko ek alag tariqa se dekhte the.
07:14Is cheez ke oopar aap kuch kehna chahenge,
07:16kya message aap dena chahenge aaj ke liye?
07:18Waqt badal raha hai
07:20aur badalta hi rehega.
07:22To uss hisaab se log ne
07:24adjust karna bhi seekh liya hai.
07:26Humare waqt hum seniors ki bahot
07:28badal raha hai.
07:30Woh log agar baithe toh hum kabhi
07:32unke saamne hum log jaakar baithne ki himmat nahi karte the.
07:34Lekin aaj woh nahi hai,
07:36hi buddy, hi buddy, ye chalta hai.
07:38So, it's okay.
07:40And talking about Armaan now,
07:42is series ki ek wo kya aisi cheez hai,
07:44jo aapke liye
07:46souvenir ka taura pe aap usne saath me rakhna chahenge?
07:48Film bahot achi banayi hain.
07:50Isme actually main
07:52ek ka naam lena chahungi,
07:54Preeti Kumaria ji hain,
07:56hum bahanat kiye is film ke liye.
07:58Aur meri bahot favourite hain.
08:00She's a very nice person.
08:02Aur unhone itna accha hum log ko handle kiya
08:04maha pe, toh kabhi bhi humko
08:06kisi bhi baat ki takleekh nahi hui.
08:08Aur bahot achi se kaam kiya sab log.
08:10Mere khal se bahot achi bhi bani hai.
08:12Abhi tak maine nahi dekhi. Ek frame bhi maine nahi dekha.
08:14Abhi jab release hone wali hai,
08:167th ko,
08:18toh hum zarur dekhenge.
08:20And kala ke duniya mein bahot baar aisa dekhne ko milta hai,
08:22ki jab do artist saath me aate hain,
08:24toh bade digat saath me aate hain.
08:26They create some magic.
08:28Agar mein udharan ke taur pe kahun toh
08:30Mani Ratnam, A.R. Rahman ho gaye.
08:32Electric Music Composer mein.
08:34Raj Kapoor sahab aur unke kahi saare kalakar
08:36unke saath me ho gaye.
08:38Waise hi aapki jo creative wavelength hain,
08:40wo Amol Palekar sir ke saath me bahot achi match kar diye.
08:42Aaj bhi wo Amol ek hi actor hain,
08:44jit ke saath main aaj bhi I'm in touch with.
08:46And I can say he's a good friend of mine.
08:48He's in Pune now.
08:50Toh unke saath meri baat hoti rehti hain.
08:52And wo kya cheez hai Amol sir ke baare mein?
08:54As an artist, actor, director, both.
08:56And as a person jo aapko bahot...
08:58Person toh bahot hi ache hain.
09:00He's very nice aur
09:02kham kham compromise nahi karenge
09:04wo kisi bhi cheez ke liye.
09:06Agar role achha hai, paisa nahi mila,
09:08agar paisa kitna bhi achha toh
09:10role achha nahi hai toh nahi karenge.
09:12He's like that.
09:14And for my final question, you know,
09:16Indian cinema ne peete kuch saalon mein
09:18alag alag film movements dekhe hain.
09:202015 ke baad,
09:22specifically Bahubali ke baad mein,
09:24Pan-India film movement shaal hoga hai.
09:26Is cheez ko aap kis tarah se dekhte hain?
09:28How will this reflect in a positive light
09:30on Indian cinema in totality?
09:32I'm extremely sorry I won't be able
09:34to give answer to this question.
09:36Kyunki yeh pahut hi...
09:38Aisa question hai ki mai kya bataun?
09:40Kyunki abhi log change ho rahe hain,
09:42change kar rahe hain.
09:44Pan-India pehle nahi tha, abhi aa raha hai.
09:46Yeh toh changes toh aate hi rahenge.
09:48And last question,
09:50kyunki volume of work suddenly badh gaya,
09:52ek artist ki competition ab sirf India mein
09:54aur regional zone mein nahi hai.
09:56We are competing at a global level
09:58jab bhi koi nahi web series aati hai,
10:00ek nahi film aati hai because of the OTT.
10:02Is system mein
10:04kya challenges badh raha hai
10:06actor ke liye specifically, aapke opinion mein,
10:08jab competition global ho gayi hai?
10:10Woh toh badhegi hi na,
10:12kyunki log chahenge unse achcha mai karun,
10:14unse achcha woh kare.
10:16Toh film jahan hai,
10:18toh usko leni ke liye,
10:20artist they go out of their way to do it,
10:22karne ke liye kaam.
10:24Aur kar rahe hain,
10:26jinn ko mahinat karna hai,
10:28woh toh karenge hi chahe,
10:30woh kisi bhi level pe jaye.
