00:10 I didn't really understand what acting was.

00:13 You know, I remember my sister telling me this thing once.

00:17 She said, acting is not about facial expressions.

00:21 It's about how you feel and how that takes expression.

00:27 Therefore, your eyes are very, very crucial.

00:30 It's not just about a pretty face.

00:32 And I don't know whether I understood any of it

00:34 when she said it to me.

00:36 But I guess over time, as I grew up,

00:38 I began to understand what it was.

00:42 And you know, learned on the job.

00:44 Actually, for the camera, you need to do very little.

00:47 And the camera-- because the camera

00:49 picks up every little thing.

00:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:56 I think first is just pure instinct.

00:59 When I hear something or when I read something,

01:04 I can't describe it.

01:04 I've not figured it.

01:05 It just calls out to me.

01:07 You know, and I feel like, oh, this is something I want to do.

01:09 This is a person whose life I want to live.

01:13 I think I began to realize the value a good producer can

01:17 bring to a film by just creating an atmosphere that

01:21 is very conducive for everyone to, you know,

01:24 give their best.

01:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:30 Actually, it's interesting that the roles I choose

01:34 or I veer towards almost respond to my state of mind.

01:38 I'm in a happier space now.

01:39 So I've just done a film called "Tumhari Sulu," which--

01:44 where I play, you know, a very happy-go-lucky person.

01:48 She's like an Enthu cutlet.

01:50 I think every role alters me in some way.

01:53 I don't know whether I'm playing to the gallery by saying that,

01:55 because everyone expects me to say that.

01:57 But I do think "The Dirty Picture" and more so "Ishqiya"

02:01 are the two films that really--

02:04 you know, it-- they really loosened or freed

02:09 some part of me.

02:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:15 I think it's never easy to deal with failure.

02:17 I think probably you realize with experience, with time,

02:22 that it's not the end of the world.

02:24 You know, when a film doesn't work,

02:26 it's almost like a breakup.

02:28 You don't want to listen to the songs from the film.

02:30 You don't want any-- any memories creeping up.

02:33 You almost want to push it.

02:34 But now I'm better.

02:36 It's not like I'm not going to listen to a song of a film,

02:39 because it hasn't worked.

02:40 So I guess I've matured.

02:42 So my-- so I know this is part and parcel.

02:46 So if there are flops, there will be hits.

02:47 If there are hits, there will be flops.

02:49 That's fine.
