00:00So, for me, I don't see it as a transition.
00:07I see it more as an evolution of Ranveer the person, Ranveer the human being, Ranveer the
00:13artist.
00:14Dheere dheere, you know, once you get familiar with the art of expressing yourself through
00:19your medium, you look for more mediums to express yourself.
00:24This for me is an extension of the artist in me.
00:27The actor in me is purely an extension of the artist in me per se.
00:36It was outstanding working with the likes of Hansal Mehta sir and Kareena, I think both
00:44of them were more than willing to sort of go that extra step to help me feel comfortable,
00:51to help me settle down, to help me get the character, get into the character and gave
00:59me the conviction to deliver the character.
01:07The biggest challenge for me was preparing for that role.
01:11Otherwise, I am living in a very black and white world as Ranveer Brar.
01:18Everything should be good.
01:19And he was the first grey character.
01:21And this grey character was going to very different places, was going to very negative
01:30places.
01:31So, navigating those places was interesting and challenging for me.
01:44Every scene was tough for me.
01:45It is not that I was sort of born into acting.
01:49But yeah, the moment that sort of everybody talks about is the slap moment where sort
01:54of Kareena slaps me and that slap never happened.
01:57She had never actually slapped me, but we had to take it 15 times because I could not
02:02swing my head to her slap.
02:04But the moment that sort of defines me in that film is the first take that I did when
02:10Kareena comes for the first time as Jazz Bhamra and she sort of talks to the family.
02:18And then, you know, the scene where Ranveer says,
02:24That scene was, the first take was really bad from my side.
02:28And those three minutes looking at everybody around me were my defining moments to say,
02:34Ranveer, will you be able to do it or not?
02:36Is this where you belong or not?
02:38And I'm so glad it turned out the way it did.
02:46I think everybody, everybody should have a say.
02:53And if somebody is saying trained actors should be given, should be given roles, I completely
02:59and totally respect that.
03:01I think as I get to understand the medium more, I will be able to speak on it even more.
03:27But I completely respect those opinions.
03:32So I believe that eventually everybody's reputation is at stake in a film, right?
03:40I believe everybody wants to make a good film.
03:44And just because somebody is known to you or somebody is a known face, but it compromises
03:53on the outcome of the film, nobody will take you for that.
03:56A director will never risk his reputation and cast you because you are a known face.
04:02At the end of the day, nobody wants to risk their reputation, right?
04:06People don't cast people for fun.
04:08It's their reputation at stake.
04:10And hence, it's a great responsibility for everybody, whether you're a celebrity, non-celebrity
04:15to deliver whatever is in front of you.
04:18And that's, I think that's what, that's what should matter.
