00:00Is that even a question to ask? It feels amazing. I'm so happy and privileged to be part of
00:11such a mega franchisee which I have seen. I've grown up watching Housefull and today
00:18I'm a part of Housefull 5, one of the leads, featuring opposite and alongside many more
00:25talented actors. It feels amazing. It's a dream opportunity.
00:35Honestly, I'm not balancing. My acting career is balancing me. I finished my studies and
00:42I came to Bombay and that's how my journey began. So honestly, acting is balancing me.
00:48I'm not balancing anything. So I finished my studies and I decided to come to Bombay
00:53and that's how my passion for acting began. Started giving auditions. Then I went to Los
01:01Angeles to finish my course in acting. I studied at New York Film Academy, Lee Strasberg Theatre
01:08Group and I came back. I started getting work here and yes, that's how I got my big boss
01:14and my ad with Shah Rukh Sir and now Housefull 5.
01:24Oh, it is amazing. Ritesh Sir is so humble, so sweet. Of course, I know him from before.
01:30Of course, because of Big Boss, we had common friends and we met after that. Ritesh and
01:37Genelia came in during Big Boss and Jacqueline is a sweetheart. Everybody, Abhishek Sir is
01:43also like so humble.
01:45Memorable is this. I'm still creating my memories and building. We finished shooting for like
01:55the first skit, the half part of it and I'm still shooting for the second skit. But Akshay
02:02Sir is very goofy. He is very mischievous. I mean, on the trolling set, if it's someone's
02:08then it's mine. Whenever I get a message from someone's phone and I think what's happening,
02:14I get to know that Akshay Sir picked it up and messaged me. So, there are a lot of such things.
02:18But the most memorable part of this journey is, I would say, meeting Varda Nariyadwala.
02:25She is my god sister. People have godfathers, she is my god sister. Because I'll tell you,
02:32she believed in me when nobody did. One thing is that everyone is praising you, you have
02:37come from Big Boss, you have also got such a big ad. But to translate into work, it takes
02:42one person to believe in you. And I think for me, it's her. So, that is one thing, meeting
02:48her is one of the best things that has happened to me.
02:56Definitely, because I think every dot is connected. I don't know what and how, but the determination
03:01of making it big has always led me to do something or the other. I've been very selective of
03:06what I do, honestly. Be it my Rakhtanchal show or how I began my journey in the industry.
03:14Cut to Big Boss, which I was not going to do. My father and mother advised me to do,
03:19which I did. That time I thought, I would be a disaster in Big Boss because I can't
03:24fight with people. I have not done community living. How will I fight with people there?
03:30But I remained truthful to myself and my persona. And I think that translated into something.
03:36And yes, somehow it has led me to Housefull 500%. The kind of love and adulation I have
03:44got after that. It is surreal. I mean, people still go and click photos with their parents
03:50whether I'm there or not. So, you know, it speaks volumes for itself. But I feel every
03:55dot is connected. Earlier, I used to think, why did I do it? Because I lost out on very
03:59one or two important films, which have become big hits now. And I was going to do them,
04:05but I remained in the Big Boss house. I didn't come out. And I thought, I would just
04:10stay for like three, four weeks. I'm not going to survive there. But I think I was
04:15the dark horse over there. I would like to at least believe that. And God has been kind
04:22to me. And then the ad came out with Shah Rukh sir, Akshay sir, Salman sir. And now
04:27Housefull 500%. So somewhere, I think, something is going on. God is kind.
04:34I have taken a baby step for my career.
