00:00Artists supporting characters play karte hain.
00:02You know, they get stereotyped in the industry.
00:04But the character's presence in the film or the show
00:06has to be given equal importance.
00:08Apni lagki roon par itna bharusa mat karu.
00:11Yeh kehti kuch aur hai aur kerti kuch aur hai.
00:30But I think you broke the stereotype with Delhi Crime.
00:49But now all your fans want to see you in the main lead.
00:52So what's that plan?
00:53Are we going to see you now as only main lead characters?
00:56What are the choices going to be like?
00:57You know, Kareena, I honestly feel that every piece of work can be an ensemble.
01:05But then it has to be a proper ensemble where every character, and it doesn't have to depend
01:11on the time, you know, the running time of the character's presence in the film or the
01:16show, has to be given equal importance and treated as a pivotal character.
01:22Chhota ho, bada ho, hota hi nahi.
01:26If that is kept in mind, then automatically this whole thing of character, actor, supporting
01:30actor, all that melts away.
01:32Right.
01:33You know, when you, for example, when I did Monsoon Wedding, it's an ensemble cast.
01:38Yeah, absolutely.
01:39It's not, there isn't one person who's the lead in it.
01:41And every character is so important.
01:44Of course, I want to play the lead, but I love Delhi Crime because it's all of us together.
01:50It doesn't just belong to Vartika.
01:52No, of course not.
01:53But you stole the show, so that's fine.
01:56So now we have to see your goofy side.
01:58So I'm going to give you some of your film dialogues.
02:01And you have to say it like with a British accent.
02:05British accent?
02:06With like a, yeah, like in a, as a horror dialogue.
02:10Okay.
02:11Okay.
02:12And like a tapori.
02:13I don't know, they're putting you on the spot.
02:15Okay.
02:16The dialogue is, I don't even know if you remember it, but you can practice it.
02:20Apne lakiro par itna bharosa mat karo.
02:22Yeh kehti kuch aur hai, aur karti kuch aur hai.
02:25Okay.
02:26You want to say it like a tapori?
02:29Haan, haan, haan.
02:31Bye apne lakiro par itna bharosa mat karo.
02:34Yeh kehti kuch aur hai, aur karti kuch aur hai.
02:38Fab!
02:39A British accent.
02:41Apne lakiro par itna bharosa mat karo.
02:44Yeh kehti kuch aur hai, aur karti kuch aur hai.
02:47Fab!
02:48I love the British accent.
02:50It's too cool.
02:52And obviously this one, in a seductive manner.
02:55Oh.
02:59This is a tough one.
03:03Nahi.
03:05Oh God.
03:06Apne lakiro par itna bharosa mat karo.
03:09Yeh kehti kuch aur hai, aur karti kuch aur hai.
03:13I can't believe I just did that.
03:15This is the worst.
03:17So as artists, sometimes it can be tough to, you know, drop a character.
03:20And your, you know, I mean the kind of characters that you've played recently.
03:24Like I said, Jalsa was amazing in Delhi Crime.
03:26And when I look at you, jab, you know,
03:28main aapko dekhti hoon, screen par,
03:30toh I feel like, how does she break away from these characters?
03:33Because they're so intense.
03:34So do you carry that home?
03:36Is it like, you know, how do you break away from that particular character's personality?
03:39While I'm shooting for it, I'm obsessed with it.
03:42Right.
03:43It doesn't mean I go back.
03:44I completely obsessed with it.
03:45I love it.
03:47You become that person.
03:48Completely.
03:49I'm living her.
03:50And it's just, I'm just wanting to be on set.
03:52I don't even want to go back and sleep.
03:54Oh my God.
03:55I'm obsessive.
03:56But it doesn't mean that if I'm doing an intense scene,
03:58or if I'm doing a scene where I'm really angry,
04:00I come home and bite my kids' heads off.
04:02Yeah.
04:03It's not that.
04:04But the whole process, I don't want to break away from it.
04:07And when I finish it, it's consumed everything out of me.
04:10Yeah.
04:11So you've kind ofтАж
04:12It's like a release.
04:13Oh my God.
04:14So I don't have much left to take back.
04:18Yeah.
