00:00I'm with the same person since past 10 years.
00:02Someone has to be a man enough to be with me.
00:05You can't be a boy.
00:06A boy only becomes a man with experience and age.
00:10It's possible that you can never become a man.
00:12Only a boy remains.
00:30Is it difficult to date after you become an actor?
00:46Difficult to date?
00:47I don't know.
00:48Because I'm with the same person since past 10 years.
00:55And I think, yeah, I think I started acting 13 years back.
00:58So I did meet him the year I was debuting in Bollywood.
01:02I met him and I've been with the same person since then.
01:04And I have no thoughts of leaving him or being with anyone else because I think I'm way too
01:09happy in the relationship.
01:12So I think I hear this from people around me that it is very difficult to find someone
01:18after you become an actor because your sense of why this person has interest in me or why
01:27exactly I like this person become a little skewed.
01:30I mean, you don't have 100% authenticity.
01:34You keep doubting the genuineness.
01:37So I discussed this with my co-actors around me or talked to me that I don't find anyone.
01:45This is a genuine problem.
01:47And do you fall like because you are with a new person on a new set every few days and
01:53then most conversation happens with the same partner and the other person is also accomplished,
02:00successful, good, like, you know, everything and you're practicing that intimacy.
02:05So is it like you keep falling in with new people and you keep developing feelings?
02:09I'll tell you what I think is my interpretation in this.
02:14If there is something empty in your mind or something is not complete in your feelings,
02:23or some food is left empty in your life, if it is empty, then you are attracted to it.
02:32If it is not empty, if you are too happy and satisfied with what you have already,
02:38then that avenue is not empty that someone else will come and fill it.
02:42So that feeling is very subjective.
02:46Even in a relationship that you think is very happy, very good,
02:49maybe you had something to eat that was left empty, which you don't want to see.
02:53But when you meet someone else and you feel like, oh, man, he's filling my missing part,
03:00which I thought was not there yet, it can also happen.
03:03But I know that in my case, I haven't felt like this until now.
03:11I keep saying this a lot of places that you have to be a man.
03:17Someone has to be a man enough to be with me.
03:19You can't be a boy.
03:21That's it. There's a difference.
03:23What are the differences?
03:24Please tell me.
03:25Boy versus man.
03:26The nation wants to know.
03:27As if it's going to be a big reveal that all the men will be after me with shoes.
03:34I feel like that.
03:35But we have to know.
03:36We don't know.
03:37There is a sense of security that a man has.
03:41A boy doesn't have that much because the boy is still trying to figure out his life.
03:45Nothing against.
03:46There's a certain age group or experience or the background that makes you secure and insecure.
03:52That can be based on age, experience, whatever.
03:56So, it's in a man that I know who I am.
04:00He is very secure.
04:01I know who I am.
04:03I know who I have chosen.
04:05I have neither insecurity about you nor insecurity about my own positioning.
04:09It's in a man.
04:11It's not in a boy.
04:13And a boy becomes a man with experience and age.
04:17It's possible that no one becomes a man.
04:19Only a boy remains.
