00:00I am from Kyrgyzstan, India.
00:12My role was in the team as a defender.
00:16I have played State, Nationals, Hockey. I am a goalkeeper actually.
00:38From a goalkeeper, I had to go back and start playing as a defender.
00:42We are not anymore Nisha Nair. It's Soimui Kerketa.
00:53It was very overwhelming to see Shahrukh sir right there in front of you.
00:58To break the ice between us and him, he was the one who intentionally fumbled during our discussion.
01:05We felt like if a star like him can do a mistake, it's okay if we, the newbies into the industry, make a mistake.
01:15So that's how he also made us comfortable.
01:21The recognition was overnight. It was an amazing experience where suddenly people come and tell you that
01:27Oh my god, you walked in Yash Raj, you must have seen the stars, you must have been... all sort of questions.
01:35Nationals. That same year. So 2007 when the movie was released, I was also part of the team.
01:55My dream was to actually play for the country.
02:06I am qualified to be a coach in hockey.
02:09I am happy where I am now. I am a teacher now. I am with kids. I mean, what else can I ask? I am in sports.
