00:00What is the difference between a village and an OTT series?
00:05It's not a village. It's my first time doing such a character.
00:09And secondly, I had taken Palla in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.
00:13But it's my first time doing a village and a comedy.
00:17And it's my first time being a part of an OTT series on such a big platform.
00:23What is the difference between a village and an OTT series?
00:28It's not a reference, but our language trainer, Ravi Khan Sahay,
00:33he has done a lot of work.
00:36I wanted to sit with him because I didn't want him to get hurt.
00:42I wanted my words to come out correctly in that language.
00:47So I definitely did that work with him.
00:50I think he did a lot of work with everyone.
00:53But I needed him a lot.
00:55Although, I am very familiar with Bundeli of the village because of Mr. Ranan.
01:02But Bundeli and this dialect is very different.
01:05So whatever difference I had to make in that,
01:08usually my how, kachu, etc. used to come because of Bundeli.
01:13But for this, I had to work a little. Definitely.
01:17What is the difference between a village and an OTT series?
01:22Anupamati, when we are sitting with friends and laughing,
01:26and you have said something in Punjabi,
01:31or in UP, or in Indori, that's one thing.
01:36But when you bring it to the story, to the cinema, to the show,
01:42then your responsibility increases.
01:44Because it's very touchy.
01:46People get hurt. They get angry.
01:49They made fun of our dialect.
01:52So I always make sure that it doesn't happen.
01:56That we don't do anything out of overconfidence.
01:58So our coach, was it Ravi Khan or Shashi Khan?
02:01Ravi Khan.
02:02Ravi Khan.
02:03Ravi ji.
02:04Ravi ji.
02:05You do so many projects that you forget the name.
02:07Why do I keep remembering his name Shashi?
02:09Ravi.
02:10Ravi.
02:11Shashi Kapoor came to Mumbai.
02:13He was Ravi Khan.
02:14Yes, Shashi Kapoor.
02:16So we had a training session with him,
02:19where he spoke in a dialect.
02:22Because there is a difference between Bihar and UP.
02:25There is a difference in Purvanchal.
02:27So we tried that.
02:29And our other director, Sonam,
02:31her belief was that we don't have to make the dialect too heavy.
02:36We have to keep it simple.
02:38So that the people of Hindi language,
02:40people from all over India,
02:41or people from all over the world,
02:43don't find it difficult or confusing.
02:46So that's how we worked on it.
02:53I don't think so.
02:54If we're talking about Devdas,
02:56he had studied in England.
02:58From abroad.
02:59There is a difference.
03:00The people there,
03:02like Kiran ji,
03:04or Smita Jaikar,
03:07the housewives,
03:09they were speaking in that dialect.
03:11And he has studied from abroad.
03:13His father was an Englishman.
03:16So there will definitely be a difference.
03:20But I feel that
03:23sometimes it is a decision,
03:26be it a director or a writer,
03:29how much of that dialect we should use.
03:33It is completely in the hands of the creators.
03:37So I feel that
03:39if they have used it in a provocative way.
03:42Like Aishwarya ji also used to use it.
03:44Yes.
03:45Single words.
03:46Exactly.
03:47That token.
03:49Yes.
03:50We also have a mix.
03:52It's Hindi,
03:53but we don't speak the language of that village.
03:56It's a little provocative.
03:58If we go in that direction,
03:59a lot of people won't understand.
04:00It will be a regional show.
04:02Before Bansali sir,
04:04in the 60s and 70s,
04:06I think that
04:08in commercial cinema,
04:11the language was turned into a caricature.
04:15A Punjabi or a Sikh character
04:17will say,
04:18Oye Paji!
04:19Or an Indian character
04:21will say,
04:22Aye Aye!
04:23And a Bengali character
04:25will say,
04:26Om Goya!
04:29Who talks like that?
04:31Or a Mumbai character
04:33will say,
04:34Parsi!
04:35There was a time
04:37when people used to take it lightly.
04:39There wasn't a lot of tension
04:40about languages.
04:42Now people are sensitive.
04:44So we should take care of those sentiments.
04:51What is being written,
04:52because
04:53like we eat at home.
04:55Yes.
04:56We put rice and lentils in a plate.
04:58And when we go to a restaurant,
05:00we go to eat separately.
05:01So in that,
05:02different dishes are served.
05:04The timing is different.
05:06This is the difference in cinema.
05:08In those days,
05:09all the makers,
05:10from Vimal Roy,
05:11to Raj Kapoor in the 50s,
05:14they used the language.
05:16I often see in the credits,
05:18that it is the credit of the dialogue director.
05:21In the 50s and 60s cinema,
05:23the language should be spoken correctly.
05:30Memory,
05:31I mean,
05:32there was no theft in Dupaiya.
05:35But,
05:36our favourite Dupaiya
05:38used to be the cycle.
05:40In our childhood.
05:41And this,
05:42we only saw the film's heroes
05:44in Dupaiya.
05:46Making a lot of sound.
05:48Whether it was Hollywood
05:50or Hindi films.
05:52So,
05:53Dupaiya was not very common
05:55in our area,
05:56growing up.
05:57In the 90s,
05:59I mean,
06:00you were growing up in the 80s, 90s.
06:02I was grown up in the 90s.
06:04But,
06:06I mean,
06:08I come from Shivali Park.
06:10So,
06:11it was not very common there.
06:13To own Dupaiya.
06:15Scooter, cycle.
06:17Was it possible in Mumbai?
06:18Yes, of course.
06:19The impression of Mumbai,
06:21in people's minds,
06:23actually,
06:24it's many villages.
06:25Mumbai is a big city.
06:27But,
06:28there were many villages there.
06:30So,
06:32in our growing up years,
06:34we didn't see all this.
06:36And Renuka ji,
06:37I remember my childhood,
06:39there were two things.
06:41Telephone
06:43and
06:45Scooter.
06:46Scooter.
06:47It used to take a number for that.
06:48It used to be a wait for months.
06:508 months, 9 months,
06:5210 months,
06:53after 1.5 years,
06:54the phone will come to your house.
06:55And the scooter was not easy.
06:56It was not like you went to the showroom
06:57and bought it.
06:58No, no.
06:59It used to take a long time for that.
07:00Waiting.
07:01Our Bajaj.
07:02Yes, absolutely.
07:09Once, a cycle was stolen from my society.
07:11I remember this very well.
07:13Somebody
07:15got a new bicycle
07:17and kept it in a chain.
07:19We were very young.
07:20And the next day,
07:21we were going to school.
07:22So, there were a lot of people.
07:24It was crowded.
07:25Somebody was shouting.
07:27We were talking.
07:28What happened?
07:29That new cycle was stolen.
07:30Who steals a cycle?
07:32But I think,
07:34I remember that.
07:35But apart from that,
07:36I have not seen anything else being stolen.
07:38Once, my father had a bike.
07:40After discovering it.
07:41So,
07:43there is a hobby.
07:45When my father is not at home,
07:46he steals a bike and takes it.
07:47And then he plays with friends.
07:48So, I took it one day.
07:50And now I am riding a bike.
07:52My friend is sitting behind me.
07:54I am speeding the bike.
07:55Two dogs were fighting on the footpath.
07:57And while fighting,
07:58they came in front of me.
07:59And to save them,
08:00I slipped.
08:01And there was a scratch in the car.
08:02Now, this is not the fear that I got hurt.
08:04The fear is that
08:05if my father sees
08:06that there is a scratch in the bike,
08:07then I will get beaten up.
08:08So, now,
08:10we are figuring out
08:11how to get it fixed.
08:13We got it fixed.
08:14We hid it at my aunt's house.
08:15And then,
08:16we went and sat in our room.
08:18But my father found out in the morning.
08:21You have been beaten since childhood.
08:23You have been beaten since childhood.
08:24I have been beaten since childhood.
08:26My father used to run a super market.
08:28He also had a scooter.
08:29For the first time,
08:30I learned two-wheeler riding on it.
08:33So, I used to ride it.
08:36I have more memory
08:37of petrol money than Dupayya.
08:40At that time,
08:41I remember we used to fill petrol
08:42for Rs. 20 or Rs. 30.
08:43And we used to roam a lot on it.
08:45We used to have fun
08:46with our friends in the evening.
08:49And no one needed me
08:50to steal anything.
08:52No one needed me
08:53in our house.
08:54And there were no thefts
08:55around me
08:56which I still remember.
08:59But I have a lot of memories
09:01because I developed
09:02an interest for it
09:03very soon.
09:05To ride.
09:07The first Dupayya I rode
09:08was my father's super market.
09:09It was yellow in colour.
09:10I still remember it.
09:11I still have some childhood photos
09:12on it.
