00:00 Earlier I used to look for work, now work is looking for me.
00:02 I am only influenced by him, not any other hero.
00:05 I was a stick, in fact I went to buy a ticket for the road.
00:09 In the era of PR mechanism, marketing, I think that more than being published in the newspaper, I am printed in people's hearts.
00:14 I think that being memorable is better than being discussed.
00:17 This is Varsha Phool.
00:18 Here even a pigeon flies with one wing and saves its dignity from the other.
00:25 Where have you come here? Come on.
00:27 Children, you have finally reached the 10th place.
00:30 And the result of the 10th place is that who will become the horse of a long race and who?
00:34 Khachhar.
00:36 Very good.

00:58 Of course, we have seen that time when we used to wait for our phones,
01:02 our phones would not work for two days.
01:04 In the olden days, we used to keep our phones in the window of the tower where the whole network used to come.
01:09 So that no call gets missed, if someone has to cast, it is not reachable.
01:14 Now of course, the phones are ringing a lot.
01:17 Now to attend the phone, someone else has to keep it.
01:20 How much will I talk? Will I pay attention to the scene or will I attend the phone?
01:24 Now I think people used to say that he has become a star, he does not pick up the phone.
01:29 I understand the pain of that these days that if I pick up all my phones, then I will not be able to work that day.
01:35 I know that after getting free at night, we will call back those who were there.
01:41 So of course, the situation has come that first I used to look for work, now work is looking for me.

01:53 I was not a fan of Bollywood, I was a fan of Sanju Baba.
01:55 It was the time of road decorations, I used to study in Patna.
01:58 So for a few days, I had grown my hair like Baba and kept a little hair like that.
02:04 I was only influenced by him, not any other hero, Sanju Baba.
02:08 And I had a stick, in fact, I went to buy a ticket for the road in Regent Cinema, Patna.
02:12 At that time, there were a lot of black tickets, there was no multiplex etc.
02:16 It is a matter of 93-94, so the stick was lying.
02:19 I told Baba one day that we…
02:21 (Speaking in Hindi)
02:37 There was a film called Vakth Ki Awaaz with Mithun Da, Guru Guru Aajao Guru, she used to dance very well.
02:42 The first film I did, I met her while sitting in Delhi, so the paycheck I got in it, it had her signature on it.
02:49 I thought, wow, I was a fan of hers, she sent me the money.
02:53 So, this is it, nothing special.
02:55 Be it Bareilly or Munna Waikal, all the films, from Phukre to Anarkali.
03:06 I have become a dancer in Anarkali.
03:08 In Gurgaon, there is a very brutal, brutal, violent, scary, complex builder.
03:14 Despite that, in the era of PR mechanism, marketing, I feel that I am more in the hearts of people than in the newspapers.
03:22 And if I am printed in your heart, then the other person will not be able to read who is printed.
03:27 But I feel that it is better to be memorable than to be discussed.
03:31 Today, what is discussed, can be forgotten, tomorrow it will not be discussed.
03:35 Nowadays, digital, every day, what is it called, trending.
03:40 Do you remember what trended five days ago?
