Transcript

00:00I won't be a good actor anymore and people will not like my work.

00:02That's an insurance.

00:03Getting into Ranbir Kapoor's phone would be very helpful.

00:05You know I'm very intelligent, I don't even know if somebody's calling you,

00:07I just flash his battery low.

00:08You write battery low calling?

00:10I'm joking.

00:30When a film doesn't match up to expectations, how does it feel?

00:37You know, fortunately or unfortunately for me, I'm quite detached.

00:41Where success or failure is concerned.

00:43I love working.

00:44I love being on a film set.

00:45I love being part of a movie and acting.

00:48That's the process I enjoy.

00:50When it comes to the release of the film, yes, of course, you know,

00:53you've spent so much of your hard work and time on a film, so it matters.

00:56But I don't get affected by success or failure.

00:58As long as my work is good, as long as I'm honest to my work, I think that's what matters.

01:02So beyond and above a point, it doesn't really bother you and make you lose any sleep?

01:07No.

01:07So actors are so insecure about their work, you know, they want their work to speak,

01:11you know, especially...

01:11Are you insecure about how you're placed in the industry?

01:14Of course, but my insecurity is not because if somebody is,

01:17you know, better than me or somebody is ahead of me.

01:20My insecurity is just that I feel that I'll not have a film tomorrow and,

01:22you know, I won't be a good actor anymore and people will not like my work.

01:25That's an insecurity I think every actor has.

01:27You have to have that burning fire inside your bed.

01:29If you don't, then it's gone.

01:31Are you competitive?

01:32I am very competitive.

01:33Does somebody else's opening weekend bother you?

01:36Not opening weekend, but I remember when Jani Tu had released and Imran had,

01:41you know, come up with his debut film.

01:43I was, I remember I was shooting in Ooty that time for Hajjapuri Ki Ghazapkani and,

01:47you know, post the premiere, people were going gaga about this film and about this boy.

01:51And I was very eager and I was kind of jealous also.

01:53I was like, what's, you know...

01:54But there was that ambition that came in and maybe some envy as well.

01:57Yeah, absolutely.

01:58Which is a good thing.

01:58It's a good thing.

01:59Getting into Ranbir Kapoor's phone would be very...

02:01I'm very intelligent.

02:02What I do is, all my guy friends, I name all, like the girls, by their names.

02:08As in, sorry, explain.

02:09As in, like, somebody would be Imran, somebody would be Karan,

02:12somebody would be somebody else.

02:14Oh, so when Karan calling on Imran, flashing on Ayaan, flashing on...

02:17What's better is, what you can also call them is battery low.

02:21So, in the middle of the night, somebody's calling you,

02:22it just flashes battery low.

02:25Because the battery's low.

02:26You write battery low calling?

02:27I'm joking.

02:31Then what?

02:32That's not a joke.

02:33That is unlikely done.

02:34Okay, this is interesting.

02:35Situationally, has it happened that you've been with one?

02:37We won't mention names.

02:38You've been with somebody and the phone has flashed with another name.

02:41Has that happened?

02:42Yes, it has.

02:43And what has flashed?

02:44A director's name?

02:45No, battery low.

02:46No, battery low.

02:49And this story has been bought?

02:51By?

02:52By whoever you were with?

02:53Absolutely.

02:56Wow.

02:57I'm...

03:00This is not cool.

03:01This is not cool.

03:02This is not a great thing.

03:06So, are you learning, Imran?

03:07This is a brilliant one, dude.

03:08This is fantastic.

03:10I feel so ashamed right now.

03:11You are not ashamed at all.

03:12You know, you should not have said this on TV.

03:15You know, you should not have said this on TV.
