00:00I came to Bombay. I shifted to Bombay.
00:02I shifted to Bombay only 15 days ago.
00:05Initially, I came to Bombay and cried.
00:07Whether my decision to come to Bombay was right or not.
00:11Because in the beginning, as soon as I remember,
00:14as soon as I said, Mr. Nawazuddin is in the film,
00:16I said, okay.
00:18I said, Niko, please get me a narration from the director.
00:23If my parents are there, then my parents will do it for me.
00:26They won't do it for the outsiders.
00:28My parents have a different business.
00:30They say, okay, I'm in this industry.
00:32But if I wasn't in this industry,
00:34if I was in their field,
00:35then they would have done something for me.
00:36Why would they bring outsiders?
00:38They would have given their family.
00:39So, nepotism is not wrong.
00:42There is a casting couch.
00:43There must be different reasons.
00:45But I have come into the industry.
00:48I have come with certain beliefs and values
00:51that how and in which direction I have to move forward.
00:57INTERVIEW WITH ANJALI SHARMA
01:04Hello, you are watching Lehren.
01:05And I am Rehan Hussain.
01:07At this time, to talk to us,
01:09most talented actress Anjali Sharma is present with us.
01:13Her name has changed.
01:15Now she will be known by a new name.
01:17And this is a new name, Yavi Sharma.
01:20So, welcome, Yavi.
01:21First of all, your Lehren.
01:23What's going on these days? How are you?
01:25I am absolutely fine. You tell me, how are you?
01:27I am fine.
01:28What's new with you?
01:30Section 108, have you completed it?
01:32Section 108 has just got over on 5th May.
01:35It was the last day of the shoot.
01:36It is with Nawazuddin sir and Abbas Khan.
01:39So, it has just got over.
01:41So, rest is God's will.
01:44What kind of role do you play?
01:46The role is negative.
01:47The girl is an opportunist.
01:49She only cares about money.
01:52She has seen life.
01:54She is coming from a very middle class background.
01:57So, she has seen the struggle of money at home.
02:01So, in life, she doesn't care about anything else.
02:04She doesn't care about relations or anything else.
02:07If the money is good, then it's fine.
02:09She doesn't care.
02:09She doesn't care.
02:10She has understood that everything runs on money.
02:15So, this is the initial phase of your career.
02:18And playing such a negative role in the initial phase,
02:21is it a risk for you?
02:23No, I mean, my first film was Operation Mayfair.
02:27It was a positive character.
02:28It was a very vulnerable character.
02:30After that, the second film I did with Rajpal sir,
02:34that was also a vulnerable character.
02:35When I got this film, the director gave me a narration.
02:39He said that it is a negative character.
02:42He told me the whole story.
02:43And I was instantly convinced that this is a negative character.
02:47I will get to play this character.
02:49There is a lot of variation in the character.
02:51There is a lot of variation in the character.
02:52In the beginning, we show that I am a very simple girl.
02:55After that, there is a transformation.
02:58So, in the transformation, you get to play a lot.
03:01Because I am the first, a very simple girl.
03:03After that, I become someone who has a lot of attitude.
03:07Who only cares about money.
03:08So, in this transformation, I got to play a lot.
03:12So, that's why I immediately jumped on this opportunity.
03:15I said that I should really do this film.
03:17You are very active on social media.
03:19I am trying to do something related to this film.
03:22You posted a photo shoot or a photo related to the film.
03:27What kind of response did you get from the users?
03:30Everyone is like, all the very best and congratulations.
03:34And they are very happy.
03:36Even my parents were very happy.
03:39So, this is what is coming now.
03:40And now, it is only post-production.
03:44So, there is a good response from the editor as well.
03:47That the film is looking very good.
03:49So, only the audience will be able to tell the rest.
03:51Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a well-known actor in the industry.
03:55And he is the most versatile actor.
03:57With whom, he is doing a lot in OTT.
04:00And people are liking his roles.
04:04So, when you got the offer to work with Nawaz sir.
04:08So, what was the reaction and what kind of feeling did you have?
04:12Because, in the beginning, as soon as he told me,
04:14As soon as he said, Nawazuddin sir is in the film.
04:17I said, okay.
04:18I said, please get me a narration from the director.
04:23Because, if I get this film.
04:26I was like, if I get this film.
04:27So, it will be like a whole life circle.
04:30Because, I have seen Nawazuddin sir.
04:31Everyone has seen Nawazuddin sir only on TV, while doing films.
04:34And as soon as the opportunity of the film came.
04:36I said, everyone doesn't get the chance.
04:40That you are seeing him in the film first.
04:42And I don't know, even in the wildest dream.
04:45I didn't think that I will get to work with Nawazuddin sir.
04:50The experience with him was something else only.
04:54I remember, he doesn't remember the lines in his script.
04:58Once he sees the script.
05:00After that, he says his dialogues as per his wish.
05:03So, he is a very fine actor.
05:06So, even on the set, when our scene was going on.
05:09Even then, I was learning a lot from him.
05:12He is so down to earth.
05:13He talks to me with so much love.
05:15I was getting nervous before meeting him.
05:19I had a rehearsal with him, before the shoot.
05:22So, even in the rehearsal, I felt like I was in front of Nawazuddin sir.
05:26But then, I felt like I shouldn't get stuck.
05:28Because, it will be a fangirl moment with Nawazuddin sir.
05:31So, I shouldn't get stuck.
05:33But then, no.
05:34He makes you feel very comfortable.
05:37Sometimes, when you get a chance to work with big stars.
05:40There is a nervousness.
05:42There is a huge aura when you work with them.
05:45How to make a comfortable label.
05:48How much did you rehearse or try to make a good rapport with them?
05:52Rehearsal, as soon as my character got locked.
05:56I started rehearsing.
05:58I am currently sitting with Ashish Pothode.
06:01So, I started rehearsing with him instantly.
06:04Because, he is Nawazuddin sir.
06:06So, I said I don't want to take any risk.
06:08Nothing should happen on the set.
06:10I want to make good scenes with him.
06:12So, I guess, I rehearsed with him for a month.
06:16After that, the shoot started.
06:18But, the shoot went very fluently.
06:20The first scene got over.
06:22I remember, I went to Nawazuddin sir.
06:24I said, sorry, if I made any mistake.
06:28He said, no, no. You did a very good job.
06:30Nawazuddin sir validated that you did a very good job.
06:35I was very happy.
06:37The director also shook my hand and said, good job.
06:41So, the title of the film is Section 108.
06:44Is it about the law or its background?
06:48Will you be able to explore it?
06:50Section 108, according to the law,
06:55if a person goes missing for more than 7 years,
06:59if someone goes missing for more than 7 years,
07:02they are declared dead.
07:04The insurance company has to pay a particular amount to the nominee.
07:08So, Nawazuddin sir, the insurance company,
07:11came to investigate the case.
07:13And I am one of the key suspects.
07:15That he might have committed the murder.
07:19So, this is Section 108.
07:21So, how was the overall experience of working with the film?
07:25And the experience of working with the other people?
07:28The entire experience was just amazing, actually.
07:32So, everyone has treated me with so much respect
07:37and with so much love.
07:39They have taken care of me throughout.
07:41And I was already scared of Nawazuddin sir.
07:45But he is so friendly.
07:48He doesn't have that star quality.
07:51From the start, he is like, I am also a normal person.
07:55He talks normally.
07:57The whole set was full of laughter and happiness.
08:01By far, I have had the best experience with this film.
08:05So, what did you find special about Nawazuddin Siddiqui?
08:09What did you like the most about him?
08:11What was his best quality?
08:13I liked his quality that
08:15even after reaching this position,
08:17he is still so down to earth.
08:19He has a simplicity in him.
08:21He doesn't like too much show-off.
08:25He likes simple things.
08:27Sitting at home and eating lentils and rice.
08:29He likes all those things.
08:31He doesn't like Bombay much.
08:33He likes mountains more.
08:35He likes slow life.
08:37So, from there, I got to know that
08:39God has given you everything.
08:41Everything should go well.
08:43No matter what level you reach,
08:45you should always be down to earth.
08:47Absolutely.
08:49You can't have an attitude.
08:51You should never have that.
08:53So, from the very first day,
08:55I understood that
08:57he has such an aura
08:59that you won't hesitate
09:01to talk to him.
09:03He makes you so comfortable.
09:05He talks to you with so much love.
09:07So, I learnt from him
09:09that no matter what,
09:11you should always
09:13keep smiling.
09:15Stay down to earth.
09:17Don't forget your values.
09:19What is one negative thing
09:21that you would like to share?
09:23If Nawazuddin Siddiqui goes away,
09:25I don't think there is anything negative.
09:27No, I don't think there is anything negative.
09:29I don't get that.
09:31Do you have any songs
09:33with Nawazuddin Siddiqui?
09:35No, I don't have any songs.
09:37I want to become a Hindi film heroine.
09:39I want my sari to be torn.
09:41But nothing like that has happened.
09:43I don't have any songs with him.
09:45If we talk about your early days,
09:47you were associated with NSD.
09:49Did you want to come into acting
09:51from the very beginning?
09:53When I was a kid,
09:55I auditioned for
09:57Dance India Dance Little Masters.
09:59I auditioned for that too.
10:01I had an interest in it from the very beginning.
10:03I auditioned for 2 years.
10:05When I didn't get selected,
10:07I realised that life had some other plans.
10:09Then slowly,
10:11I started focusing on acting.
10:13Which season did you audition for?
10:15I don't even remember.
10:17I must have been in 5th or 6th class.
10:19I was very small.
10:21I didn't get selected.
10:23But slowly, I started focusing on acting.
10:25I shifted to Bombay 2 years ago.
10:27Then I came here
10:29and worked as an actor
10:31with Sourav Sachdeva for 2 months.
10:33Currently, I am working with Ashish Pathode.
10:35He also helped Priti Sen in Mimmi.
10:37So, I am currently working
10:39with him.
10:41You took Sourav Sachdeva's name.
10:43He was recently released.
10:45Or was he released last year?
10:47Yes, last year.
10:49When you saw Sourav Sachdeva
10:51on the cinema screen,
10:53what was the difference?
10:55He doesn't appear in every class.
10:57But he appears in some classes.
11:01His experience is such that
11:03I will tell you a scene
11:05where he gives monologues
11:07to 2-3 people.
11:09There is a group.
11:11He gives a monologue.
11:13I am telling you the scene.
11:15You say the dialogues according to you.
11:17You do the scene according to you.
11:19Then all the people watch you
11:21and give you feedback.
11:23I liked his classes.
11:25You tell the scene according to you.
11:27You make the scene according to you.
11:29Then you get feedback from all the people.
11:31You get feedback from Sourav sir
11:33at the end.
11:37I really liked
11:39that you are getting feedback from everyone.
11:41You did a fashion designing course.
11:43Yes.
11:45Why did you come to acting?
11:49Fashion designing
11:51was for parents.
11:53I wanted to be an educated actor.
11:55I am not good in maths.
11:57I love sketching and painting.
11:59That's why I did fashion designing.
12:03If I don't do acting,
12:05then I should do something.
12:07I am an educated actor.
12:09That's why I did fashion designing.
12:11When did you get the first offer?
12:13Operation Mayfair
12:15or you completed Sun?
12:17Operation Mayfair.
12:19Can you tell us how you got the offer?
12:21Operation Mayfair
12:23I did a short film
12:25on MX Player.
12:27I came to Bombay
12:29after 4-5 months
12:31I did a short film.
12:33When the shoot was going on
12:35the director
12:37had a friend
12:39who came to meet him.
12:41He told me that
12:43there is a film
12:45Operation Mayfair
12:47Sudeep is the director
12:49and Jimmy is the actor.
12:51He asked me if I wanted to do it.
12:53I said yes.
12:55The next day
12:57I met the director
12:59and he gave me the narration.
13:01I auditioned
13:03for 15-20 days
13:05and the result was good.
13:07After that
13:09I was confirmed
13:11for the role.
13:15How did you feel
13:17working with Jimmy Sergill?
13:21Jimmy is like
13:23Nawaz sir.
13:25He is very simple.
13:27We go to the same
13:29gym.
13:31He is very simple.
13:33When I did scenes with him
13:35I felt that
13:37Jimmy doesn't put much effort.
13:39He just goes with the flow.
13:41He doesn't look like
13:43he is putting a lot of effort.
13:47He is a great actor.
13:51You started your career
13:53with three films.
13:55Section 108, Sun
13:57and Operation Mayfair.
13:59You started with great actors.
14:01Jimmy Sergill, Rajpal Yadav
14:03and now Nawaz.
14:05How do you feel
14:07that you started with such great actors?
14:11I would like to thank God.
14:15I am actually
14:17very grateful.
14:19When Operation Mayfair came
14:21with Jimmy Sergill
14:23then Sun came with Rajpal Yadav.
14:25I saw Rajpal Yadav
14:27for the first time.
14:29I remember
14:31Rajpal Yadav's film Chupke Chupke
14:33When we were young
14:35our whole family
14:37used to watch the same film
14:39on repeat in the afternoon.
14:41My father used to ask
14:43me to keep quiet.
14:45When I got the film
14:47with Rajpal Yadav
14:49the shoot was going on.
14:51I was sitting with Rajpal Yadav
14:53and he was getting ready
14:55for the scene.
14:57I told him
14:59that my father wanted
15:01me to make a video call
15:03to him.
15:05When I made the video call
15:07my father said
15:09that he used to watch
15:11your film Chupke Chupke.
15:15He said
15:17that he did a great job.
15:21I would like to thank God
15:23that I came to Bombay
15:25and shifted to Bombay.
15:27I shifted to Bombay 15 days ago.
15:29Initially
15:31I came to Bombay and cried.
15:33Was it the right decision
15:35to come to Bombay?
15:37Did I leave my home and come here?
15:39What if I didn't come here?
15:43It happened
15:45but I had faith
15:47that I have to do it.
15:49I kept
15:51God's support
15:53and worked on my craft.
15:55What was the best
15:57scene of Rajpal Yadav
15:59that you liked the most?
16:03There are so many funny scenes
16:05that I can't name them all.
16:07All his scenes
16:09are very good.
16:11All the funny scenes
16:13are with Rajpal Yadav.
16:15Bonding with Shakti Kapoor,
16:17Paresh Rawal.
16:21I would like to thank God
16:23that I got to work
16:25with Rajpal Yadav sir
16:27and Nawazuddin sir.
16:29If you didn't want to become an actor
16:31what other career option
16:33would you have?
16:35Fashion designing.
16:37I got my degree
16:39for fashion designing.
16:43What attracted you
16:45to Mumbai?
16:47There is a lot of struggle
16:49here.
16:52Nawazuddin sir
16:54was telling me
16:56how he started
16:58his career.
17:00He told me
17:02that he got
17:04one scene
17:06two scenes
17:08three scenes
17:10so he did it like this.
17:12I did one scene
17:14then two
17:16then three
17:18and then I got a film.
17:20His struggle is different.
17:22What challenges
17:24do you face
17:26as a single girl
17:28in Bollywood?
17:30It is very challenging
17:32for a new girl.
17:34Did you prepare
17:36for this?
17:40I didn't come here
17:42as a target.
17:44I knew I had to do it.
17:46I put in efforts every day.
17:48I had struggles
17:50at that time also.
17:52Now I know
17:54which people are right
17:56and which are not.
17:58But you should
18:00have faith
18:02that you can do it.
18:04You should have that fire.
18:06If you don't have that fire
18:08then you can do anything.
18:10You won't be able to stay here.
18:12Mumbai is like a city
18:14and you are an outsider.
18:16You will get a job like this.
18:20It is a struggle
18:22but you have to have faith.
18:24If you doubt
18:26whether you can do it
18:28then it won't be like that.
18:30You should have faith in yourself.
18:34Talking about acting
18:36there is a big gap
18:38after OTT.
18:40People are getting a lot of work
18:42and the character
18:44is being explored.
18:46People are getting more time
18:48to portray the character.
18:50People are exploring the character
18:52in a series of 7-8 hours.
18:54How do you see this?
18:56The character of OTT
18:58and its content.
19:00I believe that
19:02people like us
19:04who are not from this industry
19:06have opened up opportunities
19:08for us.
19:10We are getting chances.
19:12I am very happy
19:14that OTT has come
19:16after the lockdown.
19:18I am also trying to do OTT.
19:20Let's see when it happens.
19:22I am very happy that OTT has come.
19:24We got a chance after OTT.
19:26If it hadn't come,
19:28it would have been difficult for us.
19:30You have done 3 films.
19:32Ma Phair has been released on Netflix.
19:34Sun is coming.
19:36Did you get any compliment
19:38that you have done
19:40a good film?
19:46I have received a claim
19:48for Operation Ma Phair.
19:50The film didn't do well.
19:52It was released in theatres
19:54and then on Netflix.
19:56But still,
19:58a lot of people
20:00watched it on Netflix
20:02and not in theatres.
20:04A lot of people
20:06watched it on Netflix
20:08and said that
20:10the film was good.
20:12Your work
20:14as compared to the first film
20:16was good.
20:18I liked that.
20:20In the second film,
20:22there was a scene
20:24which the director liked a lot.
20:26We were discussing
20:28which was his favourite scene
20:30and which was mine.
20:32He told me that it was his favourite
20:34scene and I did a good job.
20:36Sun
20:38is a horror comedy.
20:40Not exactly a horror,
20:42it's a thriller.
20:44When will it be released?
20:46We are trying for film festivals.
20:48First,
20:50it will go through film festivals
20:52and then on OTT.
20:54It will take a lot of time.
20:56If you are given
20:58to choose the characters,
21:00especially if we talk about animals,
21:02if you are given the option
21:04to choose your favourite character
21:06or if you are given
21:08the option to choose
21:10the character played by Tripti Dimri,
21:12which one will you choose?
21:14I think both the roles
21:16are good in themselves.
21:18If I get both the roles,
21:20I will be happy to do it.
21:22I won't differentiate
21:24between the characters
21:26as they have their own qualities.
21:28I will do anything
21:30because I liked both the characters.
21:32What do you like
21:34the most in Bollywood?
21:36If we talk about last year,
21:38there are 3-4 films
21:40which earned the most
21:42in terms of box office.
21:44Shahrukh Khan's film,
21:46Sunny Deol's comeback,
21:48Ranbir Kapoor's film Animal.
21:50Before this, the situation
21:52was very bad in Corona period.
21:54After this, the comeback
21:56of Bollywood,
21:58it was often compared
22:00with a different subject.
22:02How do you see
22:04the success of these films?
22:06Our first successful film
22:08was Bulbulaiyaa
22:10which was released
22:12as soon as the pandemic
22:14was over.
22:16Why? Because people
22:18were tired of sitting at home
22:20and they wanted entertainment.
22:22As soon as the theatres opened,
22:24Bulbulaiyaa was released.
22:26Bulbulaiyaa instantly became
22:28a hit.
22:30Animal became a hit
22:32because of Ranbir Kapoor.
22:34Ranbir Kapoor's acting
22:36was praised in Animal.
22:38Animal became a success
22:40because the audience
22:42liked the action.
22:44If we talk about thrillers,
22:46people prefer OTTs.
22:48They go to theatres
22:50only when they get
22:52that entertainment factor.
22:54South Indian films are becoming
22:56able to deliver
22:58that kind of thrillers.
23:00There are some Bollywood films
23:02like Maidaan
23:04by Ajay Devgan sir
23:06which didn't do well.
23:08But the content of the film is good.
23:10Yes, the content of the film is good.
23:12Chamkeela was released on Netflix
23:14and it did well.
23:16It would have done well
23:18if it had been released in theatres.
23:20Every film
23:22has its own destiny.
23:24Some films do well
23:26and some don't.
23:28We can't make a rule
23:30that if a film is a hit
23:32it is because of this film
23:34and if it doesn't do well
23:36it is because of that film.
23:38You are making a film
23:40and you feel that it is a good film.
23:42You decide that
23:44it will hit in theatres
23:46but it didn't.
23:48You can't do anything.
23:50Every film has its own destiny.
23:52There are many South Indian films
23:54which didn't do well
23:56but 2-3 films did well
23:58and people said
24:00that South Indian films are doing well.
24:02But it is not like that.
24:04Things are happening in Bollywood.
24:06And now
24:08the pan India is going.
24:10Hindi actors are not going to South India
24:12they are doing Tamil Telugu.
24:14I don't want to bind myself
24:16in one thing that I will only do Hindi films.
24:18I want to do films
24:20that are not Hindi films.
24:22If we talk about Khan's films
24:24what will define you?
24:26Shahrukh, Aamir and Salman?
24:28Confidence and power.
24:30For Shahrukh?
24:32Yes, for Shahrukh sir.
24:34He is down to earth.
24:36I haven't met him yet
24:38but in an interview
24:40Badshah sir said
24:42that he went to his house
24:44for dinner
24:46and Shahrukh sir
24:48came down
24:50with him
24:52and opened the car door.
24:54So he does this
24:56with every guest?
24:58Yes, he does this with every guest.
25:00This is a good thing about him.
25:02Look where he is sitting
25:04but he is still connected
25:06to his soil.
25:08With Shahrukh sir
25:10all the interviews
25:12I have seen
25:14he has a different aura.
25:16Shahrukh sir
25:18has a different aura
25:20of a star.
25:22What will you say about Aamir Khan?
25:24I haven't met him yet
25:26but
25:28his film
25:30Laapata Ladies
25:32whatever films he has done
25:34every film
25:36has a message
25:38and his film
25:40Laapata Ladies
25:42is so simple
25:44I don't think
25:46Aamir sir goes for
25:48a specific actor
25:50he only goes for the story
25:52and that's it.
25:54So for all three
25:56Khans
25:58and if we talk about Salman sir
26:00he is there for our action.
26:02Aamir Khan
26:04is said to have been
26:06played by Ravi Kishan
26:08in Laapata Ladies
26:10but
26:12he is more fit for Ravi Kishan
26:14that's why he is back.
26:16He goes for the story
26:18he doesn't think
26:20I want this character
26:22I want that actor
26:24I want that actor
26:26so no compromise
26:28he is in his film but he is back
26:30no compromise
26:32but if this is fit for him
26:34then he takes him.
26:36The two girls in the film
26:38they are new girls
26:40so he has to take the one
26:42that fits him.
26:44What do you think about
26:46the young generation
26:48like Kartik Aryan
26:50or Ranbir Kapoor
26:52what kind of actors are they?
26:54They are very lucky
26:56but yes
26:58if we talk about Kartik Aryan
27:00his film Chandu Jampin
27:02and his first film
27:04Pyar Ka Panch Nama
27:06you will see Chandu Jampin poster
27:08you will see his trailer
27:10you will see Chandu Jampin
27:12and Pyar Ka Panch Nama
27:14you will see Kartik Aryan's transformation
27:16he has actually
27:18improved himself a lot
27:20in Pyar Ka Panch Nama
27:22he was looking like a chocolate boy
27:24but now in Chandu Jampin
27:26he is looking like a fighter
27:28so he has a different transformation
27:30he has worked on his craft
27:32and yes
27:34Ranbir Kapoor
27:36his films
27:38like Animal
27:40but Tamaksha
27:42Tamaksha is a very good film
27:44it's a very underrated film
27:46people haven't seen it
27:48but everyone has said it's a very good film
27:50Ranbir Kapoor's acting
27:52has always been good
27:54the film hasn't worked
27:56yes, the film hasn't worked
27:58but Animal has
28:00yes, Animal
28:02he is so angry
28:04in Bollywood
28:06there is a debate
28:08about two things
28:10one is nepotism
28:12and the other is casting couch
28:14what do you think about nepotism
28:16do kids from star kids
28:18have to struggle less
28:20instead of people from outside
28:22have to struggle more
28:24nepotism is not wrong
28:26if my parents are there
28:28they will do it for me
28:30they won't do it for outsiders
28:33if I am in this industry
28:35but if I am not
28:37and I am in their field
28:39they will push me
28:41why do they bring outsiders
28:43so nepotism is not wrong
28:45everyone has to struggle
28:47entry is not easy
28:49entry is not easy for us
28:51but if you are connected
28:53to the industry
28:55entry is easy
28:57you will get your first film
28:59there is no doubt
29:01you will get your first film
29:03but if you want to stay in the industry
29:05you have to be good at your craft
29:07you will get your first film
29:09but if the audience
29:11has accepted you
29:13then only you will get work
29:15so nepotism is not wrong
29:17my parents will do it for me
29:19they won't do it for outsiders
29:21what do you think about casting couch
29:23casting couch
29:25I haven't faced it yet
29:27but
29:29casting couch has it's own reasons
29:31but
29:33I have come into the industry
29:35with certain beliefs
29:37and values
29:39that how and in which direction I have to go
29:41so
29:43whoever has faced casting couch
29:45I really feel bad
29:47that they
29:49have experienced this
29:51but I haven't
29:53faced it yet
29:55because if I have ever
29:57felt uncomfortable
29:59in any situation
30:01then I back off
30:03I accept the opportunities
30:05but
30:07I have decided
