00:12I am very grateful to God that He has given this day.
00:27I am very grateful to my parents that He has kept me so grounded that I can truly enjoy this.
00:36After that, the memories come from the set, they come to the set.
00:44Because in this set, Adi Chopra, Uday Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Kajol's little sister, all friends.
00:54So, I felt like friends were making a huge project.
01:01And with all of them, there was a camp for young people and a lot of senior people.
01:12So, Yash Ji, Amrish Ji, Parida Ji, all of them were.
01:17And all of them were in the camp.
01:21So, I remember that day when I was sleeping every night,
01:27I felt like, God, wake up in the morning and wake up in the morning and wake up in the morning and wake up in the morning.
01:33Because I wanted to party with them.
01:36And all of them were making plans.
01:38And I couldn't go anywhere.
01:40So, I had to go home work.
01:42So, I felt very bad for myself.
01:47And I felt like Jagjit Singh in the make-up room.
01:54Which, when I think, is so dramatic.
01:57And all of them are very funny.
02:01And I am a stand-up comic.
02:03So, I feel like this is so dramatic.
02:06I feel like this is so dramatic.
02:10How do you feel about Chutki's role?
02:12How do you feel about Chutki's role?
02:13How do you feel about Chutki's role?
02:14How do you feel about Chutki's role?
02:15Sir, this is about Sanjog.
02:16I made Chutki's role.
02:17I made Chutki's role.
02:18The audition process, in particular, was never in particular.
02:22Where I put lines, etc.
02:24In the film craft office, King Uncle, who I did before,
02:28I got my number in the office.
02:31And I got a phone in one day.
02:33We got to meet them.
02:35We did a photo shoot with Kajol.
02:38Where they wanted to see them.
02:40We would like to wear them or not.
02:42After that, Pam told me to go shopping.
02:46We bought the whole Chutki's clothes.
02:49We bought all the designer stores.
02:52Which I felt very fancy.
02:54And after that, I got to the sack.
02:57After that, it's been written.
03:00This was a joke.
03:01I never felt like it was that I didn't have to try the same thing.
03:05This was very naturally.
03:11Does Harukh have made the same scenes while you are the same feeling not?
03:14Shah Rukh is a very generous co-actor and I thought that I am in an acting school
03:22because there was one scene where she keeps the girl's body and she keeps the girl's body
03:29and this is a very liberating thing because this is the first time we got to keep the girl's body and woman
03:38and that scene was only in the three, so I was learning about the body language
03:46and this was a very intellectually stimulating environment where I was helping to become better
03:57Shah Rukh like co-actors.
04:00So, this is my heart.
04:04How much involved and alive are in the set.
04:08And Kajol was a very big girl.
04:13He was a great girl and I was a small girl.
04:19So, one day, he was trying to sleep and I was singing in Walkman.
04:26And then, he saw me and I closed my mouth.
04:31So, I was trying to sleep.
04:33Because they were doing so much work.
04:36Our work was a little bit.
04:39So, obviously.
04:41But yeah, there are such memories.
04:43It was great.
04:45Because of Kajol, we got to eat Baskin Robbins' ice cream.
04:48Because Yash Ji has been so many tubs that I remember.
04:52I remember that.
04:53Satish Ji was so happy during lunch break.
04:56It was so happy that I was crying.
04:58And that day, BTS didn't happen.
05:01There were cameras and phones.
05:03So, all of this is my heart and mind.
05:06And I was very happy to think about this.
05:09I was very happy to think about this.
05:12I was very happy to think about this.
05:13When you think about any performance.
05:14I think you have seen some performance on EGLJ.
05:16What else do you think about the future?
05:18What do you think about the future?
05:20Have you given the opportunity to see some opportunities?
05:22I think that when you don't think much, sometimes the best work is coming out.
05:32And the character of chutki is just like me. I am the character of chutki.
05:39And the things that chutki says in the film, in real life, my character is just like that.
05:46I don't know if I have seen anything, but I will give you a chance to see it and then this chutki will come out with me.
05:58So, my performance was very natural.
06:05And Adi is such a subtle and clear vision of the director.
06:14I believe that if I can do something better, then they will tell me.
06:20And if they didn't touch me, it means that what I did, I really liked it.
06:28And what I wanted in the scene is that it is for him.
06:32You have also worked with Kikungar, so how do you work with Jackie Shaw?
06:38He was very nice and supportive.
06:44My mother took the food in the outdoors and came to our room to eat food.
06:50And once they ate food in the food in the food in the food.
06:53And today I thought, who eats food in the food in the food in the food?
06:56I was very funny.
06:58When I was 9 years old, I was a small child.
07:01So, I was very nice.
07:03When you say chutki, do you want to count on that tag or do you want to count on that tag?
07:12When you say chutki, do you want to count on that tag or do you want to count on that tag?
07:25How can I say this?
07:27I think I can say that it is nothing but happy.
07:32After 30 years, I had one expression and one person in my heart.
07:40I mean, I don't think I'm prepared for this.
07:44I'm not going to typecast me.
07:47This is my love.
07:49And everyone knows that I am an excellent actress.
07:53And now the picture is complete, friends.
07:56I think that every person can become a channel today.
08:11In a period of time, it was only 3 hours for TV.
08:14They were so talented and they were only able to get a lot of TV on themselves.
08:20And today, if you're a person and you're a person,
08:26then the sky is the limit.
08:28There's OTT platforms or YouTube.
08:31I think it's a very long time to start.
08:37What's your opinion about the 90s cinema?
08:43In the 90s cinema, the pacing was slower.
08:49And it was very slow.
08:51We were not fast.
08:53The songs were long.
08:55There were injuries.
08:57I think that it's a very slow, fast-paced, stressful beat.
09:05I feel that it's not a very slow country.
09:14Because if someone is a good person or a good person,
09:18it's not a good person.
09:20So I feel that it's a better way to get to it.
09:25And that it's not so slow and so fast.
09:28If we can get the right path,
09:31this will be the best in our films.
09:34Do you have any young actors or filmmakers that you have done?
09:39Aryan Khan. Oh my God.
09:42I just watched her serial on Netflix.
09:48And I just binged it on that.
09:52So beautiful and beautiful serial.
09:57Hats off. Congratulations.
09:59Really. I want to work with them.
10:02So courageous and so talented. Really visionary.
10:06And what is that?
10:08It's so much.
10:10I want to film with Adi, Karan, Mani Ratnam.
10:16You have to name Bollywood, Hollywood.
10:18Every director has to film with Bollywood and Hollywood.
10:21And today you have spoken.
10:22So you will have to say this.
10:24You will have to pray.
10:25Daddy Adi, I have seen the iconic film scene or final scene.
10:29So what do you feel?
10:30You are part of that classic.
10:33I know.
10:35I am a cult classic.
10:40I mean, I can't deny it.
10:42And that scene is lovely.
10:45Your fans have a special message that you want to hear.
10:50But why do you feel like this?
10:51I want to confess to my fans to our fans.
10:57I want to confess to my fans that you really can't believe.
11:03That an actor's life is so hard.
11:07Some days, it's very difficult.
11:10It's very tired.
11:12I think that if you look and see them like that,
11:16you have seen them come from there,
11:17it's really fun.
11:18Why do you do not want to see these movies?
11:21It's a real story.
11:23You think there is a lot of joy.
11:25But what does that happen to you this matter?
11:27It is a lot of joy.
11:29But it is also something that you have learned today.
11:33And that you can tell us a lot of purists
11:35of your lives.
11:36And how many people choose me to tell you.
11:38This is a lot of joy.
11:39I will never tell you about it.
11:46But I will definitely try this,
11:49that in the coming years,
11:51I will show you how much I am grateful
11:54and I will do more than you.
11:58Did you have a gap in the past?
12:03Yes.
12:04Why did you have a gap?
12:07I was here, sir.
12:09I was doing ads,
12:12I was doing professional theatre,
12:14I was doing stand-up comedy,
12:16and I didn't go anywhere.
12:18The only thing is,
12:20I did not do all the work.
12:22The work has come a lot,
12:24I will not say that there will not come offers,
12:27but there will not come offers,
12:30which will give me my heart.
12:32So I am just waiting,
12:35or I will try to write myself,
12:40which will become happy,
12:44and the heart will become happy,
12:45and the heart will become happy,
12:46and the heart will become happy.
12:48Some people have said that there is a work.
12:52There is a lot of work,
12:53but not so much.
12:54Do you have a lot of work,
12:55and do you have a lot of work?
12:57Do you have any ideas,
12:58or do you have any ideas?
12:59No.
13:00You know,
13:01there were a series of TV series,
13:03that were made of one piece.
13:05and there were so many things that I didn't think that I would be able to justice for 30 days if you have to cry every day on the shoot.
13:21I think that people might become depression. So I was afraid of all these things and I wasn't convinced.
13:30If I was convinced by someone's role, I would always do it.
13:36Whether it's small or small, whether it's 2 minutes or not.
13:41But if I felt that I would get a chance to show myself in truth, then I would always do it.
13:50If I felt that I would get a chance to show myself, I would always do it.
13:58Legendary. And we miss you so much. The world is less colorful without you.
14:06You are a mother and that is the hardest thing and the most beautiful thing. So thank you for being that wonderful.
14:15The fact that I got to do two films with you has changed my life.
14:23The fact that I got to meet you, know you has inspired me every day since we've met.
14:29And I wish you the very best. Thank you.
14:31You are feminism wrapped up in a person.
14:37Thank you for being so impressive at such a young age by being yourself and giving me permission to do the same for years to come.
14:51Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Adi, for making me part of this passion project.
14:57The love of your life that endures 30 years later.
15:00It was truly prophetic.
15:02I grew up to be a standup comic like you had written all those years ago.
15:06And it will stay with me. It's a gift that keeps on giving.
15:11Yes.
15:12We miss you.
15:13Yes.
15:14You really were a model of how wonderfully a father can be a father and a producer and excel at both things.
15:21You are very missed and so cherished.
15:24Thank you for all your films and for being a cult unto yourself.
15:27Oh, I love the way you've transformed from DDLJ to the way your career took off after that.
15:37It is truly charismatic, inspirational.
15:40I hope I get to hang out with you and work with you again.
15:43We work together in 24, but I'd love for that to happen again.
15:49Karan, come on.
15:50I think it's time.
15:52You know, I'm going to be great in one of your films.
16:00Oh, I want to tell Karan one more thing.
16:03Karan, you remember you had once told my mom while you were bringing the costume in for the day that if DDLJ did what we anticipated, we hope that it would do, that it would bring me a lot more fame than King Uncle.
16:20And wow, like from your lips to God's ears.
16:24I think you saw this before the rest of us did.
16:29So thank you for that.
16:31I had so much fun working with you and I hope that we get to do that again.
16:40And your wife is wicked cool.
16:42Dr. Donald, you learned something calledמוji, is his kind of disillusioned campaign for you.
16:48You haven't even loved it too?
16:50Now, I've didn't become a professional boat and apartheid!
16:53So keep saying how big is running on Diwali to the region?
16:55What are the conditions on Diwali to the region?
16:59Ranguli's Diwali, and I would like to say to my fans,
17:04that the inside of the glass is completely empty and deep.
