00:00The second film is coming, some money will come, let's do this, the third film is coming but one day the film will stop coming.
00:12I am working now, if I get stuck in shooting after a few days, then you…
00:30A lot of times this thing comes up that a lot of actors are like this, that maybe they face financial problems and face a lot of problems in it.
00:48What do you think, especially for character artists or for any actor, because a lot of times the heroes have also faced problems,
00:55writers have also faced it, there is a recent example of Qadar Khan, he had a great run when he was at his peak.
01:01So what do you think that actors should do so that they remain financially secure and in future they don't have to worry about their family?
01:07There is nothing like that. I am working now, if I get stuck in shooting after a few days, then you…
01:15I mean, why only actors? Those who have saved a little money, their future is good, otherwise everyone is hanging on Aadhaar.
01:25I believe that the royalty system should be here, that whoever is being used for any service, they should have something or the other.
01:36If a technician gets a cheque in 5 years, that's great, he has come to the whole team, isn't it? That system is very important.
01:45Because there are a lot of platforms, OTT platforms, there are a lot of films like Golmaal, when it comes on TV, people appreciate it.
01:53So that's basically what you want to say. That's a good idea.
01:55It is the same that everyone is being valued, you don't even know who is being valued, so there is some benefit because of that.
02:01Life is not insured. I mean, there was a call actor, I heard that he is fighting cancer in Chandigarh.
02:08So it's not like that, but at least there is something. We have given our whole life in this.
02:15One thing I would like to say very openly that until you do something, no one supports you, in any way.
02:23But as soon as you get some work, money comes, everyone's things start coming out, bring it here, bring it there, give it there.
02:31There is no help in standing up for anyone.
02:33That there should be a help so that you can stand up.
02:36Come in any line.
02:37Absolutely.
02:38And when you stand up by yourself, then all the burdens start coming on you from above.
02:47Are you understanding or not?
02:48Absolutely, absolutely.
02:49There is a combination of respect and income.
02:53Here the work is that income is in commercial, from where it will go, and respect is in this.
03:00So the actor keeps fighting for that.
03:02Many actors say that what to do, it has to be done, it has to be done.
03:06Whatever we know, everyone knows.
03:08But now it is the same, he also has to keep that it shouldn't be like this.
03:13I have found that it has to be done with enthusiasm.
03:16It has to be done without any complex, with full enthusiasm.
03:21I would also like to say one thing, there are many examples like this,
03:24whether they are actors or directors or technicians,
03:26who have made investments at the right time and in the right way,
03:29their families have also been given a lot of advantage in the future.
03:33So do you think that it is also the responsibility of the actors, for example,
03:37I mean, obviously, they enjoy life, everything,
03:40but at the same time, right investments are also important.
03:43It is very important.
03:44Why only actors?
03:45Everyone needs it.
03:46Everyone needs it.
03:49And people do it in their own way.
03:51Now the actors have become a little more careful.
03:54As you will hear, big actors only work for their own production house.
03:58Exactly.
03:59If you are selling me and I am selling, then please,
04:04we don't have that kind of position.
04:07Boss, you will get so much money, do this,
04:10give this much to them, give this much to them,
04:13whatever is left, that is expensive.
04:15Isn't it?
04:16Today you live in Bombay,
04:19it has a separate expense,
04:22it is a lot of expense.
04:23It is more expensive than many cities here.
04:26Exactly.
04:27You are immersed in that only.
04:28Then you don't think, it will come,
04:30the second film is coming,
04:31some money will come,
04:32let's do this,
04:34the third film is coming,
04:35but one day the film will stop coming.
04:37That's it.
04:38This is all that is left,
04:40whatever is left,
04:41one bedroom hall is left,
04:42or what is left,
04:43or what is left.
