00:45He had a good time, but he didn't have the means to study further.

00:53He had a lot of interest, but to run the house, he became a lab assistant.

00:59Where he sees that science talks are going on, scientists are doing something for the country.

01:04And he really wants to do something for the country.

01:08When he sees in his daughter, that my daughter's goal is to have a son,

01:15he pushes his son to study science.

01:18But his son is not interested in science, he is interested in music.

01:22His daughter has a lot of interest in science.

01:25She remembers planets, etc.

01:28It is a great honor for me to become India's first female astronaut.

01:33She is very young, and she is very inspired by her father.

01:38She wants to erase the stain on her father.

01:43I feel, for her age, she is very inspiring and ambitious.

01:49She is beautiful, and she tries her best.

01:55And she is a very brilliant student as well.

01:58I think it is a beautiful character to watch.

02:00So what preparations were made for this character?

02:03Well, I studied a little bit about space.

02:06Since childhood, I was very curious about space, planets, etc.

02:14So, I studied a little bit.

02:16So, I have to study a lot in this as well.

02:19I am back to class 12.

02:21But it is super fun.

02:23How does it affect your own self?

02:26Honestly, I am not a very good student.

02:29Because, I was a backbencher, a mischievous girl.

02:35My dad wanted me to become something else.

02:38But he has always supported me in becoming an actor.

02:42He wanted his daughter to study well.

02:45But I always wanted to become an actor.

02:48So, I think Azeem and Apollina are very different.

02:51But at the same time, as an actor, it is my challenge to show Apollina to you all.

02:58So, let's see what happens.

03:00You also have an experience of 20 years.

03:04Did you start in your 20s?

03:07No, no, no.

03:09I am a new admission.

03:12Yes, not that one.

03:14So, I am in my 20s.

03:17It's been 7 years.

03:19Hi, welcome to Gujarat Headline.

03:23What do you think about this Navratri here in Ahmedabad?

03:25We are very excited.

03:26I am super excited.

03:28Because this is my first time in Ahmedabad.

03:30And it feels so good.

03:32It feels like the perfect timing to come here.

03:35And I have recently learned a few steps of Garba.

03:39So, I am very excited that we will do Garba today with everyone.

03:44So, I am very excited for that.

03:46And you?

03:48Garba is a Gujarati tradition in the world.

03:50We have never done it in Gujarat.

03:53We have been doing it for a long time.

03:55So, we are in the source now.

03:57You get energy from Mata ji.

03:59So, we will go here and take Mata's blessings.

04:01For the new serial.

04:03And we will do it very well here.

04:05We are very excited.

04:07It's my first time in Ahmedabad.

04:09And we are very, very happy to be here.

04:11So, tell me about your character playing in Apollina.

04:13My character's name is Girdhar.

04:15And she is Apollina.

04:17And Girdhar is Apollina's father.

04:19Right.

04:20And he wanted to do a lot for his country through science.

04:25But he couldn't because he didn't have means.

04:28And then when he sees the same fire, same desire in his daughter.

04:33Then he finds a way to fulfill his dreams through his daughter.

04:40And he supports her in all the ways and all the time.

04:51So, that's what.

04:53Sometimes when a father has a dream and he can't accomplish.

04:58So, not to make his children have the same dream.

05:03But when he sees the same dream in his child.

05:05Then that becomes kind of a new source of happiness and inspiration for him.

05:12So, I am there to support my daughter.

05:15And to see how my daughter can fulfill her dreams.

05:21At the same time also serve the country.

05:24Is Apollina going to fulfill your dreams?

05:26She is inspiring.

05:29And definitely she is trying to achieve the same.

05:32And basically it's her dream.

05:36But it's her father's dream as well.

05:39So, she is very, very, very focused.

05:42And I really hope you will have to watch the show for that.

05:45Definitely watch the show if she will be able to fulfill her and her father's dream.

05:49Watch it to know.

05:51What special preparation you have to make for this character?

05:54Definitely we are very excited.

05:56We are very excited and we are getting a lot of new information from our creators.

06:02To help us know the character better.

06:05Know the people who do the same.

06:07About astronauts and about planets and universe.

06:10This story is about Sunita Williams.

06:12Have you seen her or met her?

06:14Yes, I have seen her.

06:16Not met her of course.

06:18But I am very inspired by Sunita Williams, Kalpana Chawla.

06:21Definitely they are Apollina's inspiration as well.

06:23So, she definitely wants to become the first Indian female astronaut as well.

06:28So, let's see how far Apollina's dream will go.

06:32Did Khatron Ke Khiladi helped you?

06:34Khatron Ke Khiladi?

06:36Of course, that's the preparation.

06:38Yes, that is the preparation.

06:40She did that.

06:42Yes, absolutely.

06:44And apart from that, to become an astronaut you have to be physically very fit as well.

06:47And Apollina is being trained for the same.

06:49So, I think Aditi's fitness enthusiasm is also helping me in playing this character.

06:55Right.

06:57As a father, what message you want to give to the younger girls?

07:01To the younger girls, as a father, I would like to say that don't hold yourselves back.

07:06You know, your father is there to support you.

07:10In most cases, now I see fathers, they really have this new found motivation to support their daughters.

07:18Because now they know that daughters can do wonders and they can achieve as much as they want.

07:25So, to the girls, I will say just dream on.

07:31And your father or your mother or God will support you.

07:39Yes, the sky is the limit.

07:41Yes, the world is your playground.

07:43Just dream on.

07:44And don't ever ever think that being a girl should hold you back.

07:49What's your pipeline projects in future?

07:51In future?

07:53We just hope the show does well and runs for a very long time.

07:57Right.

07:59Tomorrow depends on today.

08:01Today we are doing Apollina.

08:03If Apollina does well, then we will do something better.

08:06Thanks. All the best for that.

08:08Thank you so much.

08:14Thank you so much.
