00:00If I am walking, they are making me walk a little.
00:03Because people were coming and going and I was sitting.
00:05No one was telling me to walk.
00:07I was not looking at anyone. It just felt like I was here.
00:09I am sitting for the first time in the business class.
00:12I am Nancy Tyagi and you are watching me on Brook.
00:23This is my design.
00:25And I have made it in a month.
00:27I have made it in 1000 meter fabric.
00:29If I knew Hindi, I would have done it.
00:31If I knew English, I would have done it.
00:33But it's good that I don't know it.
00:35It would have been beneficial for me.
00:45I am sitting for the first time in the business class.
00:48I made a lot of videos there.
00:50I had a lot of fun.
00:52I lay down and slept the whole night.
00:54I ate well.
00:56I drank coffee.
00:58It was fun.
01:00It was difficult to travel.
01:02It was 10-12 hours.
01:06Hindi, English, there is nothing.
01:08There is French.
01:10There was nothing for me.
01:12People went with me.
01:14They translated what I was saying.
01:16I told them in Hindi.
01:22I don't eat non-veg.
01:24I don't eat fast food.
01:26But I had to eat there.
01:28I ate pasta.
01:30I ate pizza.
01:32My mother gave me a big bag.
01:34It had chips, biscuits, everything.
01:36And some rice and choles.
01:38I had to boil it and eat it.
01:40I ate it for a few days.
01:46I made four for my mother.
01:48They were made in two months.
01:50In a month, I made a big gown.
01:52And in a month, I made all three outfits.
01:56My brother told me that
01:58most of the time,
02:00big gowns are worn on red carpets.
02:02According to the carpet,
02:04I should make something big
02:06so that people notice me.
02:08That's why I made it.
02:10My brother, Manu,
02:12told me to keep the design
02:14and color of the gown.
02:16I sewed it.
02:18He told me.
02:26I had another pose in mind.
02:28I wanted to join hands.
02:30But I missed that pose.
02:32I didn't think about sitting.
02:34I sat like this.
02:36I thought if I'm walking,
02:38they won't let me walk.
02:40People were coming and going.
02:42I sat down.
02:44I was scared before.
02:46But after getting down,
02:48I was in the air.
02:50I had a tail of 1.5-2 meters.
02:52It was different from a lehenga.
02:54I kept it at home.
02:56It was too heavy.
02:58I couldn't walk
03:00when I wore it.
03:02I cut it at home
03:04to reduce the tail.
03:10It was very difficult.
03:12I don't know how I took it.
03:14I charged an extra bag.
03:16I asked for 10-12 bags.
03:18I got two bags.
03:20They fit.
03:22I put it in the cab.
03:24I put it inside
03:26when I wore it.
03:32That's my design.
03:34I didn't see it.
03:36I thought
03:38I'm going to India.
03:40I should wear a sari.
03:42I changed my touch.
03:44I made it backless.
03:46I gave it to people.
03:48They liked it.
03:50It was heavy.
03:52It looked like a sari.
03:54But it had handwork.
03:56It was not less than 10-15 kgs.
03:58It was heavy.
04:00I thought that's it.
04:12I made Sillampur famous.
04:14I'll hide my face to buy clothes.
04:16I got a call from Sillampur.
04:18I asked for my dad's number.
04:20He told me to come to his shop.
04:22He's from Varnava.
04:24He's taking clothes from my shop.
04:26It's getting famous.
04:28Everyone in Sillampur knows me.
04:30I'm thinking of
04:32going to a different market.
04:44RO doubt her mother was working in the factory.
04:50Goal is 100%
04:52from hope to success.
04:58If you don't believe in your mother,
05:00don't believe in me.
05:02My mother always worked.
05:04She worked through her life.
05:08It was getting late whether she could work.
05:10So we kissed her.
05:12I don't scream at my mom, she's always there for me.
05:19Now I'll go somewhere alone.
05:21My brother was supposed to go with me, but he didn't go because of his visa issues.
05:27So I feel like I'll do something alone.
05:30I'm thinking of cancelling Manu's trip, but I'm motivated to do something alone.
05:38I didn't go anywhere without Manu. I went straight to France.
05:42I didn't go anywhere without Manu.
05:46I didn't copy anyone's recreation.
05:49Now I'll have my own designs and I'll make them for people.
05:52A lot of people message me and ask me to make them for themselves, but now I'll make them for everyone.
05:58Sonam Kapoor asked me to make them for him.
06:01There are so many big things happening and everything is big.
