00:00So, hello Harsh, welcome to INS
00:01Hi, thank you
00:02And 9 years of Sanam Teri Kasam
00:03Yes
00:03The film is releasing on 7th of February
00:06Yes
00:06What's the mind space like currently?
00:09I can only think of winning over the producer
00:14If the producer wins, it will be fun
00:17And all my decisions, all my choices
00:21Go towards winning over the producer
00:24I want the producers to win
00:27And I want them to be successful
00:30Because when they win, when they
00:32When they commercially benefit
00:36Then the actor, crew, industry
00:39Everyone will be in a great space
00:43And the film, when it released
00:45You know, there was a sudden explosion
00:47You know, people got to witness
00:49You know, great performances
00:50Good music
00:53While you were working on this film
00:54Did you realise that it would go on to establish
00:56Such a legacy in the long run?
00:57Sir, I have only begged and pleaded for this film
01:02So, of course, I was extremely convinced about
01:06The role, especially
01:09Before me, the casting of this film was already done
01:12I have told this story in interviews many times
01:14So, I reached the audition 4 months late
01:18And the casting was already done
01:20And they made me leave the office
01:23And told me not to waste time
01:25So, I said, please, you just watch my audition
01:30I am ready to do it here
01:32So, they said, you are wasting your time
01:34Because the boy who has been selected is sitting in the next office
01:38And the hero is reading the script
01:40I said, sir, I am not telling you to change anything
01:44My request is that you just let me do an audition
01:47And you throw it away
01:50After requesting a lot, they agreed
01:53And their assistant, Ravi ji
01:54Ravi ji then took my audition
01:56And then Radhika ma'am and Vinay sir saw it
01:59They came after an hour and asked me to do it again
02:03So, I did it again
02:04Then they came after an hour and a half
02:06Vinay sir had tears in his eyes
02:08And he hugged me
02:11And said, you have caused a lot of loss
02:12Because all the clothes and costumes were done
02:15And he said, we will have to change everything
02:18Because the poster shoot was after 2 days
02:21And then I said, sir, thank you so much
02:24But I have only one request
02:25I have to go to the washroom
02:26So, they said, why didn't you tell us earlier
02:29So, they pointed towards the office
02:30So, I went there
02:31Actually, the hero was reading the script
02:35So, I didn't have the courage to look him in the eyes
02:38But the fact that I had to plead for this role
02:43Goes to show that I was very convinced from the start
02:46After reading the story and its synopsis
02:49So, I am just happy that
02:52It took 9-10 years
02:54But at least finally people understood my thought
02:57I mean, people also connected with what I was connecting with
03:00So, it is a nice and sweet feeling
03:04And in these 9-10 years, you have done many films
03:07Haseen Dilruba comes to my mind
03:09Tara vs. Bilal
03:10Gange with Bijoy Namve
03:12How do you see your journey in this film industry?
03:15Everyone is different
03:17Haseen Dilruba's character is different from Taish's character
03:21Then, Dange's character is a college super senior
03:24Tara vs. Bilal is something very different from Sanam Teri's Samzinder
03:29So, I, like any other actor, have tried my best to give a varied performance
03:36Because if you do the same kind of work, you are also seen in the box office
03:41If you do the same kind of work, you are also seen in the box office
03:44People who do the same kind of work, people are not seen
03:47So, I try to learn from these things
03:50And I keep observing these things
03:54I try to learn what I can learn
03:56So, I am learning not to do the same kind of work
03:59And do it honestly
04:01If you want to release a film
04:03If you want to request to release a film
04:05Then keep it so organic that you go to the producer's office and shout
04:10When I started doing it, people around me said
04:13You are crazy as an actor, you can't be doing these kind of things
04:16I don't believe in these rules
04:18And I think the more real you keep it
04:20The more things can connect
04:24The pen in depth film movement, it picked up somewhere around 2015
04:28But you have a rich body of experience prior to that film movement started
04:33You have worked across the languages, in Tamil, sorry, in Telugu, in Hindi
04:38Currently, looking at the trajectory of the Hindi cinema or Indian cinema in totality
04:42How do you foresee the future of all our industries?
04:45The unified Indian film industry
04:47Akshay sir, looking at the future is the work of a priest
04:50I don't know all this
04:52And also, honestly, let me tell you
04:54Like I told you, I watch and learn everything from a distance
04:59So, I have seen that no matter how big you are
05:02Whether you are a producer or a director or an actor
05:05There is no guarantee that your next film will be a hit
05:07When such big people don't know
05:09Sir, I am an ant here, how will I know?
05:11So, I can't predict the future
05:16And whenever you pick any project
05:18When you are reading through the screenplay or through your character
05:21What are the things which have to be there for your character for you to say yes?
05:26Very good question sir
05:28Akshay sir, for me, the most important thing is the producer
05:32The bone of the reed
05:34I want a producer who has a very strong bone of the reed
05:38Who stands
05:39And with a new actor
05:42They had gone to make a film
05:45And Deepak Mukund sir is that producer
05:48Who stood with this film
05:50I like this very much
05:52This time, especially after 9 years
05:56I made sure that
05:59Sir should get the commercial success
06:01But the respect of the audience should be there
06:04That this is the person who invested money in this film
06:07I wanted that to be established
06:09For the first time, an actor must have put a photo of his producer on his Instagram
06:13I put that too
06:14That this is that person
06:16Tag him
06:17So, before listening to any story
06:21I know a good answer will be
06:23That I watch the script
06:25I don't watch anything
06:27First of all, I see how strong the producer is
06:29How hard is his intention
06:31And
06:33Will he stand or not?
06:34Like what do you see before making a friend?
06:36You see this right?
06:37Will he stand for you or not?
06:39I see this
06:41What watch does he have?
06:43What clothes does he have?
06:45I don't think I want to look into
06:47I want to see a solid person
06:51I was watching your interview a few days ago
06:54I want to really know
06:56What were your fondest memories in Gwalior?
06:58Because it's a beautiful city
07:00One of the beautiful forts
07:02Food is great, people are great
07:04If you could share us with the memories while growing up
07:06In the city of Gwalior
07:08Growing up, I couldn't develop memories
07:10Because I ran away from Gwalior
07:12When I was 16-17
07:14So, I couldn't make friends there
07:17Couldn't connect with many people
07:19The city left me very soon
07:21So
07:24It feels like
07:26People like the city so much
07:28And I couldn't connect even while living there
07:30But that's how it is
07:32To get something, you have to lose some things
07:34So I think
07:36It's my loss that I
07:38Couldn't connect with that lovely city
07:40Let's look at this in a different way
07:42You said that
07:44You left Gwalior
07:46At the tender age of 14-15
07:48If the same thing happens in the US
07:50People recommend a person's
07:52Ability to get off their home
07:54And explore life on their own
07:56Leaving home so soon
07:58And seeing things
08:00Learning from them
08:02How did it help you to sharpen your survival skills
08:04As an artist, as an actor
08:06That's a great question
08:08Because
08:10I'm studying psychology honors
08:12I'm in my second year
08:14This is one of the very
08:16Important aspects
08:18When you
08:21Get out of the family
08:23And keep it in the real world
08:25The whole
08:27Environment changes
08:29And whatever you said at home
08:31Whether you called him a king
08:33Or a useless son
08:35He gets some new feedback
08:37And in a new way
08:39He breaks all the rules and makes it again
08:41Because the rules of the house
08:43Don't apply outside
08:45So I felt
08:47Because I ran away
08:50I had to become my own parent
08:52I had to write
08:54Rules and regulations
08:56To teach myself
08:58That I will follow this path
09:00I will always
09:02Keep this thing in mind
09:04Writing these things
09:06Today
09:08Those things
09:10Work with me
09:12I believe that
09:14Every child
09:16From the environment of home
09:18When he comes out
09:20When he comes to the environment
09:22Of his salary and food
09:24When he calculates
09:26They go through something
09:28That's very beautiful
09:30There are many flaws
09:32Like I
09:34Can't party a lot
09:36Or I
09:38Can't be social
09:40So these are
09:42Some downsides
09:44It's not like everything is good
09:47You become a little introverted
09:49You stay in yourself
09:51Which is not a good thing
09:53So I will say
09:55I want to make a balance
09:57It's not like I will stay like this
09:59I want to definitely try
10:01But
10:03It's definitely
10:05After coming out of the house
10:07The
10:09Environment
10:11I have been very lucky
10:13I met very nice people
10:16I met angels
10:18Many people fed me
10:20I still chill with them
10:22Many people took care of me
10:24Someone gave me clothes
10:26I can never forget those people
10:28I have a list of
10:3018-20 people
10:32I respect them and love them
10:34Forever
10:36I follow you on Instagram
10:38I see you spending
10:40A generous part of the year
10:42In nature
10:44Coming back to Mumbai for work
10:46For shoots
10:48Going back to that environment
10:50How do you look at
10:52The constant attachment
10:54To this city?
10:56Balance is a word
10:58Which I am obsessed with
11:00Since childhood
11:02I feel
11:04Like this video
11:06If it gets too dark
11:08You won't see anything
11:10If it gets too bright
11:13Try to keep the exposure
11:15In the middle
11:17I believe
11:19That life's exposure
11:21Should be in the middle
11:23Too much of party
11:25Or too much of jungle
11:27Both are wrong
11:29If you make a nice balance
11:31You get a sweet spot
11:33Where everything in life
11:35Stays in touch
11:37I apply this to everything
11:39Find a sweet spot
11:42Work out
11:44Don't just go to the gym
11:46Do yoga
11:48Sprinting
11:50Not just running
11:52Gym
11:54Muscle
11:56Flexibility
11:58Mobility
12:00Agility
12:02Badminton
12:04Strength
12:06Sprinting
12:08Stamina
12:10There are many aspects
12:12I hope
12:14That I touch everything
12:16Nature and work
12:18That's why I keep them close
12:20So that
12:22I keep the exposure
12:24In the middle
12:26You spoke of this word exposure
12:28Of beautiful pictures
12:30Of wildlife imagery
12:32How long has it been
12:34For you pursuing wildlife photography?
12:36Wildlife photography
12:39It all started
12:41From Hyderabad
12:43A friend named Subbu
12:45Gave me his first camera
12:47I was very excited
12:49I used to take a lot of pictures
12:51It was around
12:532010
12:5514 years ago
12:57I was trying to buy a camera
12:59Like we all try
13:01To buy a good camera
13:03I couldn't buy a good one
13:05I bought a basic camera
13:08It took me 8-10 years
13:10To learn manual settings
13:12Now I can move my hand
13:14Looking at the light
13:16And without looking
13:18I can play with shutter
13:20ISO
13:22And aperture
13:24It takes a lot of time
13:26I am still learning
13:28Because birds are a challenging subject
13:30Animals sometimes sit
13:32They don't move
13:34When they don't move
13:36Wildlife photography is very tough
13:38Because they fly very fast
13:40And as soon as they change
13:42Light changes
13:44Light changes, setting changes
13:46You have to do it on the go
13:48I enjoy this a lot
13:50I like to sit patiently
13:52And wait for something
13:54That's why I am coming here
13:56After 10 years
13:58Because I am waiting
14:00For this bird
14:02Hopefully
14:05I have been waiting for this
14:07I hope this photo comes out good
14:09This weekend
14:35What is the new world for you?
14:37Two amazing questions
14:39In one interview
14:41Very nice
14:43INS you have a gem in your team
14:45Don't leave them
14:47Save them
14:49Because
14:51More than psychology
14:53I think
14:55What will be the best subject
14:57Where I am
14:59I am not an architecture
15:01I am not a building
15:04I am not a
15:06Rock
15:08To study chemistry
15:10I am a human
15:12So what is psychology
15:14About human behavior
15:16In my acting career
15:18We study and notice
15:20Behavior
15:22So what can be a better subject
15:24To study human behavior
15:26And try to understand
15:28Nobody can understand
15:30But try
15:32I try to understand
15:34Human behavior
15:36For myself
15:38And for my craft
15:40I get a lot of help
15:42In my work
15:44I am enjoying it so much
15:46That in first year I got 81.5%
15:48And I am hoping
15:50In next 3 years
15:52I can do better
15:54I take out time
15:56If I get stuck in traffic
15:58I study
16:01When they make me sit in an airplane
16:03For 40 minutes
16:05Then I study
16:07I really enjoy this
16:09I like people
16:11Why they behave
16:13Where they are coming from
16:15What they are going through
16:17I enjoy knowing
16:19I don't want to see them from above
16:21I want to see
16:23What they are feeling
16:25And why they behave
16:27I enjoy it
16:30You are constantly studying
16:32Observing
16:34From your surroundings
16:36They mostly see acting
16:38As this craft
16:40Where you need to act
16:42And react
16:44But this habit
16:46Of studying
16:48How important is it
16:50And what message
16:52Will you give to them
16:54If I try to sound
16:56Politically correct
16:59It will be a lie
17:01Because I really want to say
17:03Every person
17:05Who came from village
17:07He didn't learn acting from New York
17:09But he is a better actor than me
17:11So what is the use
17:13It is not necessary
17:15That you study and make a good painting
17:17It is not necessary
17:19That you study and make a good design
17:21Do our mothers cook so well
17:23Have they done a chef course from London
17:25So studying is a good thing
17:27You will get terms
17:29Language will be better
17:31But your craft
17:33Either you build it yourself
17:35Or it is a god gift
17:37You study from outside
17:39Craft and
17:41Technique
17:43And your skill
17:45Comes from inside
17:47So I will give more importance
17:49How disciplined you are
17:51Consistent and persistent
17:53With your craft
17:56If you have taken official training
17:58There is no rule
18:00That you won't do well
18:02So please don't let anyone fool you
18:04That everything is good
18:06Only by studying
18:08Many parents will stone me
18:10On this YouTube video
18:12And for the last leg of the conversation
18:14I would like to talk more about
18:16The machines that you have in your collection
18:18Which is the latest bike
18:20That you added to your collection
18:22Not from a film family
18:25I don't have a bike
18:27I have only one
18:29That I ride all my life
18:31I am not a collector
18:33Please don't get me wrong
18:35I buy one thing
18:37After a lot of thinking
18:39I buy one thing
18:41And it is not so easy for us
18:43And
18:45We don't have such a lifestyle
18:49One very exciting thing
18:51Which I am telling you exclusively
18:53Royal Enfield is
18:55Giving me something
18:57Very very exclusive
18:59I mean
19:01There are not two pieces in the world
19:03There is only one
19:05It is beyond exclusive
19:07That I am really excited about
19:09It will be with me in a month or two
19:11Is it a cafe racer
19:13Or an adventure tourer
19:15Segment
19:17Cafe racer
19:19And for my final question
19:22What message would you like to give
19:24To those artists
19:26Not just actors
19:28Painter, writer
19:30Looking at the current scenario
19:32And how can they capitalize or leverage
19:34From this ever evolving industry
19:38There is a psychologist named Karl Rogers
19:40About whom I read in first year
19:42I still read
19:44He said that you have a real self
19:46And an ideal self
19:48Real self is
19:51I mean
19:53You are behaving the way you want
19:55Ideal self is that you are sitting like this
19:57Now
19:59You will behave 100% like this at home
20:01And you will sit like this when you go out
20:03So these are two selves
20:05Karl Rogers is saying
20:07Don't let these two go too far
20:09If they come too far
20:11He uses the word incongruence
20:13Means
20:15You will feel stress
20:17If you keep a lot of difference
20:19All artists
20:21Painters, actors
20:23My advice to them is
20:25Keep the real self and ideal self a little closer
20:27You can never be completely the same
20:29It will be a lie
20:31If I say I talk like this at home
20:33It doesn't happen
20:35I don't talk formally at home
20:37And it's not like
20:39I am very different from this
20:41I try to keep it very close
20:43The more honesty I keep at home
20:45The more I can do
20:48I don't want to say so much truth
20:50That people will feel bad
20:52That's why I don't do podcast
20:54Because people feel bad
20:56When I tell the truth
20:58And you can tell the truth
21:00About yourself
21:02But I am not a fan of
21:04Showing the truth to others
21:06So my advice or suggestion
21:08Is
21:10Try to design a life
21:12Where you are in reality
21:14Very close to that
21:17Your work personality should be very close to that
21:19You will feel very easy
21:21You will sleep well
21:23You won't feel tired at home
21:25Because sometimes when we perform a lot
21:27We feel very tired
21:29Why?
21:31Because you were performing all day
21:33Performance
21:35You can come here a little
21:37You can try
21:39I am not saying that you will come in your family behavior
21:41The more you keep it close
21:43The more easy your life will be
21:45The better your craft will come out
21:47That's my two bits
21:49So with that we have reached the end of this conversation
21:51If there is something that I may have left as a question
21:53Or something that you would have loved to talk about
21:55You touched two very important points
21:57And I am so happy
21:59That when I observe
22:01Or others do
22:03I enjoy it a lot
22:05And you observed
22:07And I am missing the fact
22:09That why you are not sitting in front of the camera
22:11Sir let everyone see
22:14Thank you so much
22:16Thank you
