00:00When I was supposed to wear the dress, it didn't arrive on time.
00:04I didn't have a passport.
00:06They had lost our bags.
00:07Customers would hardly get our bags.
00:18I didn't have a passport.
00:19When we used to go to get it made, I had a case with me.
00:22I used to get an NOC for a case, but never a passport.
00:27This time, everything happened a day before.
00:33Like I told you yesterday, I got my visa early in the morning.
00:36All of a sudden, I got my visa.
00:39I thought, let's go and get my passport.
00:42I got a night flight right away.
00:44Then we announced that we are going.
00:51So I landed and they had lost our bags,
00:54which was something that we were, as the French would say,
00:58we had a panic attack.
01:01But my team was amazing.
01:03They ran out.
01:03They got new products.
01:05They got new hair products, makeup products.
01:07I did fittings here.
01:09I got a new gown.
01:11I got new stuff.
01:12Luckily, I had carried the real jewelry
01:15that I had brought from India in my bag.
01:18So that was with me.
01:20And it was insane.
01:25When I was supposed to wear the dress,
01:28it didn't arrive on time.
01:30They were like, we'll give it to you after two hours.
01:32I was like, how can you give it to me after two hours?
01:34It was so chaos and I was panicking.
01:38My outfit was finally ready four hours earlier.
01:41I tried the dress.
01:42We had to literally stitch after I wore the dress.
01:46It was a struggle altogether.
01:48You can just literally see the kind of relief I'm having right now
01:52while just narrating the entire episode.
01:54It's crazy.
01:58The customer didn't let us out of the airport.
02:02So we didn't leave anything behind.
02:04I think the capacity of the liquid bottle was 150ml or 120ml.
02:14We did everything.
02:16We got the wax.
02:17We bought a bottle from here.
02:23We didn't get a scissor.
02:25We took a knife from the kitchen.
02:27So we did everything.
02:32The thing that struggles me the most is the heels.
02:36Because heels come on.
02:39Heels are never comfortable.
02:41You just have to wear it.
02:43Because it looks graceful, it looks nice.
02:46The kind of gowns and dresses you wear,
02:48heels are necessary.
02:51My feet have almost healed.
02:54I'm not kidding.
02:56But you have to do what you have to do, right?
03:03So the funny thing is that before I got onto the red carpet,
03:06I was so nervous.
03:08Because I'm representing India at the end of the day, right?
03:13And I was like, you know how when you feel like your heart is in your mouth?
03:18That was me.
03:19My heart was beating really fast.
03:21But the funny thing was as soon as I stepped on the red carpet,
03:25I was zen.
03:27I was so calm.
03:28It was the strangest thing ever.
03:30They were playing really loud music.
03:32And I felt like I was on a runway.
03:34And I felt that this was a performance.
03:38A live performance.
03:40And I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
03:42I remember getting off the red carpet.
03:44I looked at my stylist and I'm like,
03:46that was short.
03:48And he's like, you've been there for 15 minutes.
03:50And I was like, what?
03:52So it was crazy.
