00:00Sir, first of all, Shringarika is looking very good.
00:03People have already appreciated it, we have also seen the trailer.
00:05Thank you so much.
00:06Can you tell us a little bit about Shringarika?
00:08They have already shown it in the previous vlog.
00:11It looks like a very interesting character.
00:13It is a very action-packed character.
00:15Can you share a little bit about it?
00:17So basically, it is very difficult to tell Shringarika in one line.
00:22Because it is a 60-episode series.
00:26It has drama, revenge, action, romance, lust and compassion.
00:32So it is very difficult to tell it in one line.
00:36But it is, probably I am talking a little too much.
00:41But it is okay, we will talk more.
00:43But it is India's Game of Thrones kind of a series.
00:48So there is a lot in it.
00:50People are going to enjoy it a lot.
00:52What would you like to say?
00:54It is a fantasy, love story, action.
00:58Because I watch all the OTT series.
01:02Whether it is good or bad.
01:04So I can say with confidence that I have not seen anything like this in my Hindi OTT.
01:08And I am glad, thank you to Vibhuji and Atrangi
01:12that they are bringing such a series.
01:14And you will get everything in it.
01:16That's why it will go up to 60 episodes, season-wise.
01:20And we are very excited.
01:22Only two days are left.
01:24Let's see how it goes.
01:26I would like to ask you,
01:28as everyone knows you,
01:30but I have seen you on Facebook.
01:32Yes.
01:34You have made a lot of changes in your character.
01:36Can you tell us
01:38what kind of preparation you had to go through?
01:40What changes did you make?
01:46When you take on a character,
01:48especially in television,
01:50when we do serials,
01:52we shoot one episode and go home.
01:54The next day we do the next episode.
01:56We don't know what's going to happen.
01:58But when you do a series,
02:00a film,
02:02you win that character.
02:04You win that character because
02:06you play that character in that time period.
02:08So there were a lot of challenges.
02:10Vishwaraj is basically Khilji.
02:12Padmavath's Khilji.
02:14I genuinely manifested,
02:16as I said earlier,
02:19when I saw Padmavath,
02:21I thought I could do something like that.
02:23So maybe God heard me.
02:25Sometimes your tongue gets stuck.
02:27So when I got this role,
02:29I thought this is amazing.
02:31I had to do a lot of preparation.
02:33You are seeing hair, beard,
02:35body.
02:37Hair, beard, body.
02:39We both used to work out a lot.
02:41There was a lot of action.
02:43There were injuries.
02:45But the show must go on.
02:47There were budget constraints.
02:49We were making a big thing
02:51in a very low budget.
02:53So we understood that from
02:55a production point of view.
02:57So we worked really hard.
02:59We took gym keys at night.
03:01We became friends so that
03:03we could get gym keys.
03:05There is no 24-hour gym in Bombay.
03:07We used to open the gym ourselves.
03:09We used to lift the shutter.
03:11We used to work out.
03:13We used to switch off the AC.
03:15We only had 8 hours.
03:17Vishwaraj has a lot of shares.
03:19From being negative
03:21to falling in love with Aabhaar
03:23to becoming handicapped.
03:25There are a lot of shares.
03:27I always used to wonder
03:29why famous actors say
03:31that after Animal, Ranbir Kapoor
03:33did some therapy
03:35or after Khilji,
03:37Ranbir Singh did some therapy
03:39or Shahid Kapoor after Kabir Singh.
03:41But after doing this series,
03:43I realized that
03:45when you do a character
03:47for 80-100 days,
03:49it stays in your mind.
03:51When I came back
03:53after doing Khilji
03:55and Vishwaraj,
03:57it took me a week
03:59to get out of that
04:01world of not thinking
04:03like Vishwaraj.
04:05Now I understand
04:07what this process is.
04:09We worked really hard.
04:11It was really difficult
04:13to do Aabhaar for me.
04:15On the first day,
04:17everyone wanted to see me
04:19without makeup and with that stain.
04:21We tried a lot of things
04:23with different types of stains.
04:25I can understand
04:27because I am a girl
04:29who was born with a birthmark.
04:31I have a big birthmark on my back
04:33which I have covered with a tattoo.
04:35For me, it is an emotional connect
04:37when someone talks about birthmark.
04:40How you separate people
04:42from the crowd and society
04:44with a birthmark.
04:46Only one artist
04:48could do this role
04:50who was fit and trained for action.
04:52We got a lot of injuries
04:54on our hands.
04:56There is a shot in the promo
04:58where I am breaking bangles.
05:00It is my actual blood
05:02because I will take this shot
05:04because it looks real.
05:06I want your real blood.
05:08It is our passion.
05:10If not,
05:12some other artist will do it.
05:14The whole team
05:16did the same thing.
05:18I am thankful
05:20that I got Vishal in Vishwaraj.
05:22Otherwise, I don't think
05:24Vishwaraj and Aabhaar could have been
05:26the way they are now.
05:28Thank you Vibhuji
05:30for giving me Shringarika.
05:32I think this will be
05:34one of the best shows ever.
05:36I don't want it to end.
