00:00He said how can I make a film with you your hair is like a bloody bear

00:03This is philosophy of super duper super duper startup, and she met me first time. I still can't get her expression out of my head

00:12And she just walked off

00:30I

00:37Look really unconventional looks long nose floppy hair

00:40I mean there were women who found you sexy when you did that show on television

00:43But still very unconventional looking leading man. Did you face that kind of?

00:48Kind of the similar because both of you are relatively

00:51Outsiders to the film fraternity. I mean you know not form any film family and no film background

00:55Did you also face any kind of initial yes?

00:58Yeah, I was I was I'd done a little bit of theater where there was nothing like conventional unconventional

01:03Yeah, I had sort of learned that there's nothing right or wrong

01:06You just act an old man dark man a tall man a fat man

01:10It didn't make a difference because everyone used to act in theater

01:13But when I did come when I came to Bombay and start doing films. I had a few

01:18Reactions which were like this the late

01:21Divya Bharti when she met me first time

01:24I still can't get her expression out of my head. How did she react?

01:27I was introduced by my friend Sheena Sippy and says he's the leading guy you're going to be in the last night and

01:33violence you

01:35And she just walked off and then I remember when

01:39Juhi was told during Raju Bunga gentleman that I am a little like Amir Khan

01:44Kind of an actor who's come in and in new and so her first reaction was eeks

01:48And she was introduced that he's not like Amir Khan. He's brown and scruffy and his hair is all wrong

01:53And I think the funniest comment was by my producer who launched me. Thankfully. You're mr. GPCP who said your hair is like a bear

02:04How can I make a film with you your hair is like a bloody bear

02:11If you ever wonder my god, I became this big star

02:13So how did you ever feel you know actually the credit and I it sounds very cliched but

02:19The kind of work we do as actors when we come on screen and there's a very serious thing I'm telling you is when

02:26What happens is not really the serious stuff, okay, this is philosophy of

02:31Okay, super duper super duper stardom

02:34the thing is that we are

02:38loved by a section of people and

02:41What they think of us is not because of us what they think of us on screen is

02:47Because of their emotion towards us how they felt looking at us

02:50Whether some of them are awed by us whether some of them think we are the boy or the girl next door or they who?

02:56People who they want to take back home. It's all theirs. It's got nothing to do with us the day

03:01Actors and stars start believing that whatever they are is because of them

03:06They completely screw up
