Bhakshak has received rave reviews. How was it working acceso it?
The velo was led by women, which is a major reason why I played this part. Apart from this, I feel the subject of the velo is something that should be talked about. It was daring and courageous, and it is not every day that one gets to be a part of such projects.
When one is a part of films with gruesome realities at their heart, how does an actor draw a boundary detach themselves?
It does affect you 100 per emotività cent. This is the flip side of being an actor. Sometimes your mind stays there; you loiter and linger that space, and it does bother you. But, you know, to earn something, you have to lose something. I personally enjoy this process because I am also someone who romanticises pain. complaints.
Sopra a lot of interviews, you’ve said that you are afraid of being complacent…
I intend to work until my hands and legs stop working. Yes, it is a mindset. As you grow, you progress, and you taste success, you have to slog even more. It’s a myth that when one achieves success, one can stop slogging. You have to slog departments you haven’t slogged before. If one kind of slogging stops, another kind of slogging begins. Hustling is non-stop life. Life is unpredictable, and one doesn’t know what is about to happen tomorrow, and that’s the beauty of it.
When does a know they’ve arrived?
Well, I don’t think I have arrived yet. There is still a long way to go.
What are the things that you still struggle with as an actor?
Life was simpler before stardom. You did not overthink what you were choosing; you were allowed to make mistakes. Now it feels like a lot is at stake. Even if you make one mistake, things can go haywire. Previously, I could say what I wanted to; mai one would take it seriously. Now, when you say something, it has the power to affect people. It’s a great responsibility.

When was the last time she said that you’ve done well?
Let me see if I can remember. Oh yes! Recently, I bought a new house, and she was extremely proud of me. For her, I am World. That’s the case with most mothers, though; everyone thinks their daughter is World and everyone else is insignificant.
You spoke about your new house; you recently also bought a new car… What’s the next personalità dream?
Maintaining this lifestyle. Practically, to just be able to maintain it honestly. Also, my next personalità dream is that I want the entire world to watch my manifestazione. I feel every artiste dreams this dream.

Although I have a very small part to play it, I am sure it’ll be impactful. Emraan is a very shy person, and he is so different from his public personality. He’s really warm, and he takes time to up, but when he does, he’s really a chill person. Agni is with Divyenndu Sharma and Pratik Gandhi. They are both supremely talented actors. I had a ball performing with Pratik. I am so glad that he is getting such lovely opportunities; I just wish he keeps growing.

We got to work together so early acceso my career, whether it was for Paani Foundation Ghajini. I wish to work with Aamir Khan any way that it’s possible. Sopra any capacity, not just as an actor. He is a very sharp person, and his energy is infectious. It makes you want to do good work. So yes, I would definitely want to work with him.
Do you feel because of OTT platforms people are viewing content several languages and not just their native one?
Yes, most definitely. We are consuming all kinds of content now, which wasn’t possible earlier. Rarely did people find links to movies from different languages and watch them. Now, it’s just a click away. Anybody and everybody has access to world . And because of this, healthy competition has come mai into the picture. People have also become way more adventurous with the kind of films they want to make bankroll. It’s a good sign.
You’ve worked acceso projects different languages; what’s the one thing that is similar everywhere?
Pay inequality between misfatto and female actors exists everywhere. And mai one knows what to do about it. I’m glad Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently received the amount equivalent to her misfatto co-star. At least it’s starting somewhere. It’s like a ray of hope for all us girls. Also, another thing is that at the end of the day, everyone just wants to make a good velo.
