00:00Do you get scared?
00:01In today's world, someone will come to our house to throw stones at us.
00:05If no one points out what's wrong in the world, how will it improve?
00:22Mannat is so mythologically down-marked, Sonia.
00:30All these stories are based on a true story.
00:46If we see, Naseer sir also shares his opinion about the riots.
00:52Even you do, don't you?
00:53Do you ever tell them to stop?
00:56Yes, yes, we do.
00:58Because in today's world, someone will come to our house to throw stones.
01:04And anyway, everyone is finding work with great difficulty.
01:07Nowadays, there are many reasons for not getting work.
01:10So, you know, one has to be sensible but not scared, if that's possible.
01:17It is scary, but what to do?
01:22If no one points out the wrong that is happening in the world, then how will it improve?
01:28There is a choice where you want to be true to yourself.
01:31And one is that if I don't express this, life will pass in peace and I will keep working.
01:38That's the safest route to do.
01:40Do both of you sit and say, I want to play it safe or do you say, leave it, we want to be true to ourselves?
01:46I think the general line is, we want to be true to ourselves as much as is possible.
01:52But I don't think we are foolhardy.
01:56Foolhardy?
01:59The boat has not sunk yet. We will see what happens next.
02:03Naseer sir is also very blatant in his opinions.
02:06You are also very upfront.
02:08When you work with him, is it difficult?
02:12It was.
02:14Because as you said, two opinionated people.
02:17It's hard to put them in one room and get them to behave themselves.
02:20But we have learnt over time.
02:22And basically, we trust each other.
02:24And the other's judgement.
02:27I know that what Naseer says, there is definitely some truth behind it.
02:31And he knows that what I say, there is some truth behind it.
02:34It feels a little bad. We get a little angry and then we make up.
02:38That happens.
02:40But that, he has my back and I have his.
02:43Wow. Does it ever happen when you are a good actor or a good actress,
02:47and then you say, my God, I am not getting my dues.
02:51Some people get depressed. Some people get frustrated.
02:56Some people feel, let's leave the industry.
02:58I will start a restaurant. Has it ever happened to you?
03:02It has happened many times.
03:04But I didn't feel like doing anything else.
03:07And also again, Naseer was a great help.
03:13He kept saying, you are fretting too much.
03:16Your time will come, when you least expect it, when you are older.
03:20I think he had understood that she doesn't know much about acting.
03:24Let her learn a little first. Then her time will come.
03:27And exactly the same thing happened.
