00:00We have a lot of disagreements.

00:02I don't know half of her life.

00:04We spent very little time after our marriage.

00:06So many things that women do for men

00:08and you know men can't

00:10in the same way.

00:30You started a production business.

00:46It's called Pushing Buttons Studio.

00:48Pushing Buttons.

00:50And you do this with your partner.

00:52Yeah.

00:54We are excited.

00:56We want to create.

00:58Is it difficult to manage business with a partner?

01:00I mean we don't consider it business.

01:02Right?

01:04Working together with your partner is difficult?

01:06No, not at all. It's fun.

01:08Yeah. It's totally fun.

01:10There are a lot of disagreements.

01:12I think because

01:14both of us are headstrong creators.

01:16So we have a lot of disagreements.

01:18But that's good.

01:20And that's fine.

01:22But we want to be able to

01:24arrive at a solution, a common solution.

01:26That is for me

01:28more valuable.

01:30So because you work with your partner together,

01:32what's the biggest challenge

01:34and the biggest advantage

01:36that you should do with your partner?

01:38Because a lot of people say that

01:40usually family members should not work with a partner.

01:42Yeah. I think the biggest advantage is that

01:44you know you

01:46it's convenient.

01:50We sit at home and

01:52discuss everything.

01:54It's our starting stage.

01:56We don't have an office space.

01:58We have an office at home.

02:00I've found a partner who can understand

02:02and segregate.

02:04I get an advantage there.

02:06When I work with Richa,

02:08it's about work.

02:10Then we forget about it.

02:12And when it's about home,

02:14we chill.

02:16And I don't know half of her life.

02:18She's an actor also.

02:20She's an activist.

02:22She's a producer.

02:24She's doing 10 other things.

02:26I'm doing 10 other things.

02:28We don't have to discuss everything.

02:30In fact, we're getting a chance

02:32to spend time together.

02:34Unfortunately,

02:36because we had a lot of work,

02:38we spent very little time after our marriage.

02:42I left the country

02:44and some work was going on there.

02:46She was busy in something.

02:48Then I was in Mirzapur.

02:50We were really missing each other.

02:52There's a reel which I saw

02:54which I generally don't agree with.

02:56Why do men open doors for women?

02:58Are women not strong enough?

03:00Of course, women can do it.

03:02Why do you have to do it?

03:04Girls can do it themselves.

03:06Do you believe in this thought process?

03:08No, I think it's great.

03:10It's really cute to do that.

03:12It is saying nothing against

03:14the woman in question.

03:16There are so many things

03:18that women do for men

03:20and men can't

03:22in the same way.

03:24We all have our own ways.

03:26It's still equality.

03:28It's just the different ways

03:30of being human.

03:32I think everybody has gotten

03:34a chance to have a conversation

03:36about everything.

03:38Everything must be considered.

03:40Therefore, everything is on the table.

03:42Cool.

03:44Randomly, it has just become an issue.

03:46It doesn't need to be.

03:48We have complicated little things.

03:50Little things. It doesn't need to be.

03:52That's a value system, I think.

03:54And it's not a negative thing.

03:56There are so many value systems

03:58in our country.

04:02You have to just understand

04:04it is not cancelling out individualism.

04:06I think that's the fear.

04:08Oh!

04:10That's the fear, I think.

04:12That insecurity that

04:14good individualism will go away.

04:16There should be no conversation

04:18about women are privileged

04:20or men are privileged.

04:22The conversation should be

04:24where there is disrespect.

04:26Yes. That's it. Period.
