00:00Oh, but I've always been an actor.
00:08There is no doubt about that.
00:09When I was a child, I used to perform in front of my parents.
00:12I used to convert jokes into acting, I used to do skits, I was the leader of the kids.
00:18It was always a thing.
00:19I was like this since a school.
00:22I did that in college.
00:23I was part of theatre.
00:24I've done plays at Prithvi.
00:26The reason I'm telling you this is because after a point, generally your passion gets
00:30suppressed by your career and that is not something I wanted to allow.
00:34Because my career also is such, it was my passion only.
00:37And I always decided that I will continue to extend my career creatively.
00:42And I have done exactly that and the radio has helped me a lot in this.
00:46There has never been a...
00:47Radio is also very performative.
00:48Performative, yeah.
00:49You're a performer.
00:50Correct.
00:51I have to say that.
00:53I have to give you that.
00:54You're already an actor.
00:55For the last 15 years, you've been making an image of an audience in your mind.
01:01Only with your voice.
01:02You've carved that voice.
01:03You've honed it.
01:04You know when to dip.
01:05You know when to lift.
01:06You know when to...
01:07You know.
01:08You learn.
01:09It's a way that you connect with your audience.
01:10So, it was just one thing that the face came in front.
01:11And that, of course, through various things that I've done over the years.
01:12Whether that's television or social media.
01:13Whether it was a dance reality show.
01:14Whether it was a play.
01:15Whether it was a play.
01:16Whether it was a play.
01:17Whether it was a play.
01:18Whether it was a play.
01:19Whether it was a play.
01:20Whether it was a play.
01:21Whether it was a play.
01:22Whether it was a play.
01:23Whether it was a dance reality show.
01:24Whether it was...
01:25You know.
01:26You've seen me on very many things.
01:27And I've kept that going because it's something I've always wanted to do.
01:30But the screen...
01:31I remember in 2015 or 17, when I told someone for the first time that I'm an actor.
01:36I want to be an actor.
01:37And they were like, but of course.
01:38At that time, I didn't have much faith in myself.
01:39Now, I'm saying this with a lot of confidence.
01:40Especially after doing something like this.
01:41I hope that you love it.
01:42But the preparation that went through it.
01:43Even mentally to tell yourself, yes.

05:10You know.
05:11You know.
05:12You know.
05:13You know.
05:14You know.
05:15You know.
05:16No.
05:17Don't think so.
05:18I don't think.
05:19See, expanding what Ira said, the entire story, if you understand form a hawk's point of view,
05:28was the machinistion and idea of 10 people.
05:31Including the Britishers.
05:32Including if you include Mountbatten, Radcliffe, and the other Indians.
05:37So it was the decision of 10 people.
05:40So people also need to know that.
05:42It will present another perspective.
05:46In fact,
05:46I think the show that we have made is a message of peace.
05:52That because of these people,
05:54these people had political ambition,
05:56political dynamism.
05:58The British had a lot of politics in it.
06:00What happened in that cycle,
06:02it was sad, but it happened.
06:04So I think it will do more healing work.
06:06And maybe it was inevitable.
06:08Instead of saying that tension will get aggravated,
06:13I think it will diffuse it.
06:15Because we are trying,
06:16I'm saying we are trying to present a true,
06:19proper perspective.
06:21Not showing that this happened because somebody had a very fierce,
06:27anti X, Y, Z culture feeling.
06:31It was a political decision in the head of 10 people.
06:35We have shown 10 characters,
06:36the leaders of Britain and India.
06:38This happened on the basis of what was in the minds of 8 or 10 people.
06:42And a lot of factors are at play.
06:43You will see.
06:44So there is a farcical element in the show also.
06:47Mountbatten tells him,
06:48I don't know what to do.
06:50So let's just draw the line and go.
06:53It's as simple as that.
06:53Like a child on a paper,
06:55drawing a piece of line.
06:56The period of art class is over.
06:58So I have to give something to the art teacher.
06:59That scene is in our show.
07:01So they draw that Radcliffe line
07:02because they want to leave.
07:03Mountbatten says,
07:04I just want to bloody leave from here.
07:05So that fallacy is very funny.
07:08It's like a Charlie Chaplin humor.
07:10It's a very big tragedy.
07:11There is a very light humor as well.
07:13So you know,
07:14I think he will do more of the joining work.
07:16Instead of spoiling it.
07:2415th November,
07:26you better be glued to your television sets
07:29because Freedom at Midnight is releasing.
07:31And that is my only message
07:33because in the interview before this,
07:34I gave a lot of life advice.
07:36And my comrades laughed at me.
07:38So please watch 15th November,
07:40Freedom at Midnight.
08:04It's not a very serious show.
08:07There is a lot of comedy,
08:08there is a lot of humor,
08:09there is a lot of entertainment.
08:11There is nothing like that.
08:12With every character,
08:13there is an element of pathos and humor.
08:16You will get a mental smile when you watch it.
08:18These are all warm characters.
08:22So please watch 15th November
08:24and binge-watch it for the whole year.
08:28Don't watch anything else.
08:34Shucks, I had something.
08:35It fell out of my head.
08:37But...
08:40If you just want entertainment,
08:42then you can watch this.
08:44Our director himself said a while ago
08:47that if you are looking at aspects
08:49that you have seen in Bollywood,
08:50you will get it.
08:51But apart from that,
08:52what you will get is
08:54water-cooler conversations,
08:56what you can talk to your kids about,
08:58what you can tell your grandkids about,
08:59what you can discuss with your colleagues
09:01because this is the history
09:03that you didn't even know about.
09:05And I really do hope,
09:07I feel,
09:08generally we would say,
09:09watch it, watch it.
09:10I want you to see it
09:11because I feel that
09:12if you haven't seen Freedom at Midnight
09:14on SonyLiv on 15th November,
09:16then you are doing yourself a big disservice.
09:18This I am saying as a viewer,
09:20not as an actor.
09:21So please watch it
09:22and I hope you have a lot of discussion around it.
