00:00I love the fact that when we met in the morning, you asked me, how are you today?
00:04Because otherwise, it's like, how are you? Oh, I'm good. I'm good.
00:13So, I'll start right here. Tell us, what is this?
00:16So, this was love at first sight.
00:18When I saw this, I was like, I really want this.
00:21But why? What did you think though?
00:23The langur first, man. I fell in love with the langur.
00:26So, you resonated with the...
00:27Yes. Even when I go to the mountains, and I see langurs, and they're just chilling.
00:31They're so curious. They keep walking with their manicure and pedicure.
00:35They keep pulling their hair out.
00:37And when I see them, they're just so playful.
00:40You're one of them. You feel that, right?
00:42Yeah. I think a monkey is my spirit animal.
00:45So, this for me is my sun room.
00:48Okay.
00:48Sun doesn't mean a kid.
00:50Yes.
00:50Sun means light. Sun.
00:53Yes.
00:54So, this is my sun room. I want that energy over here.
00:57So, that means you also have a moon room?
00:59I also have a moon room, which I'm totally obsessed with.
01:02So, your vision was to have this as like a separate little corner?
01:07Yes. I wanted this nook as a separate thing.
01:09Because again, I want this space to be like a community working thing.
01:14Yeah.
01:15And with people that I trust, people that I respect, and people that I'm fond of.
01:20So, we could be working on different projects.
01:22It's not like you're working here, and we're working on the same projects.
01:27Fair enough.
01:27And wherever you're in the mood, you're an artist.
01:30That's how the heart and mind work.
01:32Of course. And again, a lot of moons.
01:34Yes.
01:34It's a common pattern.
01:41We have options, of course.
01:43I'll take whatever you suggest.
01:44If you want glowing beauty, or you want a healthy detox, or Moroccan mint.
01:50What do you think I'm in here? Do you think I need beauty or a healthy detox?
01:53I think meat would be good. Hopefully, it'll be in this.
01:57So, let's talk about what you'll be eating most days.
02:01How do you start your day? What do you eat for breakfast?
02:03I love home food.
02:04Okay.
02:04I'm a sucker for home food.
02:06So, I have my lunch at every place. So, even right now, I have my lunch with me.
02:12So, what do you crave the most?
02:14You know, I was a non-vegetarian.
02:17But last July...
02:19You made the switch?
02:20I made the switch. It just happened.
02:23When I was reading a book, and it said, if animals are our friends, then how can you eat your friends?
02:30And while reading, I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Why did I read this?
02:34And then, just after that... I don't do that.
02:37But eggs, I eat. Farmed, fresh eggs.
02:40So, my breakfast is standard.
02:42Every day, I have scrambled eggs, masala with a little cheese, and a small paratha.
02:49Okay, this is your standard breakfast.
02:50That is standard.
02:51So, let's go back to your workout, your protein shake.
02:54How often are you working out?
02:55In lockdown, I realized that before that, I never used to work out, work out, and work out at all.
03:01Also, thanks to Golu.
03:02Because I realized that after season 1...
03:04Okay, so I never thought I was chubby.
03:06Or I was whatever now.
03:08And I was like, what?
03:10In fact, yesterday, we were watching season 1's second episode.
03:16When Munna comes, and he says, Bolu Devi.
03:19And he pulls my cheeks, and everybody had this like, oh, so cute.
03:23And I was like, I never thought I was chubby.
03:25Yeah.
03:26And I like that.
03:27Because I didn't start my workout journey because of that.
03:32I had to do weight loss, I had to do this.
03:34Because if a girl, in season 1, she was like this.
03:39In season 2, she's picking up the gun.
03:41I wanted to look like that.
03:43Like, yes, she can pick up the gun.
03:44So, I'm very, very happy with that.
03:46Did you...
03:47I didn't understand it late, but I got it.
03:57So, like, how do you spend your time here?
03:59What do you do in this room, exactly?
04:01Here, it's more for thinking.
04:03More for, if I want to make bookmarks, I start making those.
04:08If I feel like totally draining on the energy or the flow that I want,
04:12then I just go ahead with that.
04:14Do you ever get bored?
04:16Or do you somehow, like, manage to, like, always keep yourself entertained or stimulated?
04:22I...
04:30I like to be creatively engaged, or to be thinking, or emotionally engaged.
04:35I think, yeah.
04:37In fact, my dreams are also super entertaining.
04:39The happiest dreams are when I'm on set.
04:41And you remember them?
04:42Most of them.
04:44Okay, that's interesting.
04:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:46Let us start the...
04:48Oh, I like the phone cover.
04:51So, pink is my favourite colour.
04:52Oh, lovely.
04:53Great.
04:54Okay.
04:55Here we go, rapid fire.
04:56First question.
04:57Favourite movie you've acted in?
04:59Oh, my God.
05:01Masaan.
05:02One actor you dream of working with?
05:05Ryan Gosling and Timothy.
05:07No.
05:08Favourite travel destination?
05:12The world.
05:13That is just...
05:14Come on.
05:15To the hills, mountains.
05:16Any mountain?
05:17Yeah.
05:18Okay.
05:19Best piece of advice you've ever received?
05:21Tripathi, senior Pankaj Tripathi,
05:23had said this, that actor ka kaam set pe hi khata...
05:26Oh, matlab, this is me quoting him.
05:28Shut up.
05:29We have the disclaimer.
05:30Haan, exactly.
05:31Aap now wo project kaise perceived hoga
05:33ya audience ko kaisa lagega
05:35that is up to them.
05:36Kyunki aap kaam karo, create karo
05:38aur phir then let it go.
05:40Can you separate the art from the artist?
05:43Hmm.
05:44Do you think that's...
05:45Is that something you do or...
05:47I think yes, but it also depends.
05:49Matlab aisa nahi ki ek rule hai.
05:51Hmm.
05:52Ya phir, you know,
05:53you can put something in a bracket
05:54and waise hi hoga.
05:55Right.
05:56Lines will be blurred.
05:57It's fluid.
05:58So, I think you should go with the flow.
06:01It's always very important to remember
06:03who you are.
06:04In season 2 and 3 in Mirzapur,
06:06mai bhe gayi thi
06:08into
06:10this darkness
06:12that comes with Golu
06:14and everything that she's been through.
06:16Interesting, okay.
06:17So, then I was told that
06:19because as actors,
06:20you psyche yourself so much
06:22about something ki yeh hi hai
06:23because aap kisi aur ke kapde pehend rahe ho.
06:25Aap kisi aur ka scar
06:27or like for example,
06:28Gaun Kesh mein
06:29she has alopecia.
06:30Hmm.
06:31So, usmein wo alag tha.
06:32Toh, it's important to come back
06:34to things that are you.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Also, artist word broad term hai.
06:38Ki artist toh alag-alag time ke hota hai
06:40toh alag-alag type expressions bhi hota hai.
06:42But, I love what I do.
06:44It makes me so happy just talking about it.
06:46It makes me happy.
06:47I can see that.
06:48So, Shweta,
06:49we do this segment on our show
06:51called OK Boomer.
06:52Okay.
06:53Where we quiz our guests
06:54on Gen Z lingo.
06:55Oh my God.
06:56Are you?
06:57How good are you?
06:58Not at all.
06:59That's perfect.
07:00YOLO!
07:01Yikes!
07:02Okay.
07:03So, the first word is Riz.
07:05It means really cool
07:06and really like Riz.
07:08Riz.
07:09Riz.
07:10Riz.
07:11Riz.
07:12Riz.
07:13Riz.
07:14Riz.
07:15Riz.
07:16Riz.
07:17Riz.
07:18You're not off
07:19but it comes from charisma.
07:20Ah!
07:21So, if you have
07:22if you're really good at flirting,
07:23you have good game,
07:24he has Riz.
07:25Oh!
07:26Okay.
07:27That's what Riz means.
07:28Okay.
07:29Alright.
07:30What is a red flag?
07:31Oh my God.
07:32Red flag is
07:33when you see a red flag
07:34you just
07:35should go the other way.
07:36Yeah.
07:37The problem is
07:38most of the people don't do that.
07:39Don't.
07:40Yeah.
07:41So, red flags dekhe
07:42woo-woo-woo
07:43karke de hai.
07:44Exactly.
07:45Yeah.
07:46Go!
07:47Greatest of all times.
07:48Okay.
07:49Oh!
07:50It's so easy.
07:51Don't make it so hard.
07:52Because of Cheetah.
07:53Because
07:54messy
07:55and you know
07:56so yeah.
07:57Of course.
07:58Yeah.
07:59Also, Cheetah is five years younger
08:00so I get a lot of my coolness
08:01thanks to him.
08:02So, how about this?
08:03What does this phrase mean?
08:04She ate it
08:05and left no crumbs.
08:08Is that like a
08:10a crime scene situation?
08:12No?
08:13No.
08:14Why?
08:16That she did the job
08:17and then she did it so well
08:18that there were
08:19no crumbs left behind.
08:20So, it's not a crime thing
08:21but that's exactly
08:22what it is.
08:23So, even if you dress
08:24really well
08:25like she ate
08:26at that film festival
08:27and left
08:28no crumbs.
08:29So, it's a compliment.
08:30Oh, lovely.
08:31Okay, got it.
08:32Got it.
08:33Nice.
08:34Nice.

08:36is in my blood.
