00:00I love the fact that when we met in the morning, you asked me, how are you today?

00:04Because otherwise, it's like, how are you? Oh, I'm good. I'm good.

00:13So, I'll start right here. Tell us, what is this?

00:16So, this was love at first sight.

00:18When I saw this, I was like, I really want this.

00:21But why? What did you think though?

00:23The langur first, man. I fell in love with the langur.

00:26So, you resonated with the...

00:27Yes. Even when I go to the mountains, and I see langurs, and they're just chilling.

00:31They're so curious. They keep walking with their manicure and pedicure.

00:35They keep pulling their hair out.

00:37And when I see them, they're just so playful.

00:40You're one of them. You feel that, right?

00:42Yeah. I think a monkey is my spirit animal.

00:45So, this for me is my sun room.

00:48Okay.

00:48Sun doesn't mean a kid.

00:50Yes.

00:50Sun means light. Sun.

00:53Yes.

00:54So, this is my sun room. I want that energy over here.

00:57So, that means you also have a moon room?

00:59I also have a moon room, which I'm totally obsessed with.

01:02So, your vision was to have this as like a separate little corner?

01:07Yes. I wanted this nook as a separate thing.

01:09Because again, I want this space to be like a community working thing.

01:14Yeah.

01:15And with people that I trust, people that I respect, and people that I'm fond of.

01:20So, we could be working on different projects.

01:22It's not like you're working here, and we're working on the same projects.

01:27Fair enough.

01:27And wherever you're in the mood, you're an artist.

01:30That's how the heart and mind work.

01:32Of course. And again, a lot of moons.

01:34Yes.

01:34It's a common pattern.

01:41We have options, of course.

01:43I'll take whatever you suggest.

01:44If you want glowing beauty, or you want a healthy detox, or Moroccan mint.

01:50What do you think I'm in here? Do you think I need beauty or a healthy detox?

01:53I think meat would be good. Hopefully, it'll be in this.

01:57So, let's talk about what you'll be eating most days.

02:01How do you start your day? What do you eat for breakfast?

02:03I love home food.

02:04Okay.

02:04I'm a sucker for home food.

02:06So, I have my lunch at every place. So, even right now, I have my lunch with me.

02:12So, what do you crave the most?

02:14You know, I was a non-vegetarian.

02:17But last July...

02:19You made the switch?

02:20I made the switch. It just happened.

02:23When I was reading a book, and it said, if animals are our friends, then how can you eat your friends?

02:30And while reading, I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Why did I read this?

02:34And then, just after that... I don't do that.

02:37But eggs, I eat. Farmed, fresh eggs.

02:40So, my breakfast is standard.

02:42Every day, I have scrambled eggs, masala with a little cheese, and a small paratha.

02:49Okay, this is your standard breakfast.

02:50That is standard.

02:51So, let's go back to your workout, your protein shake.

02:54How often are you working out?

02:55In lockdown, I realized that before that, I never used to work out, work out, and work out at all.

03:01Also, thanks to Golu.

03:02Because I realized that after season 1...

03:04Okay, so I never thought I was chubby.

03:06Or I was whatever now.

03:08And I was like, what?

03:10In fact, yesterday, we were watching season 1's second episode.

03:16When Munna comes, and he says, Bolu Devi.

03:19And he pulls my cheeks, and everybody had this like, oh, so cute.

03:23And I was like, I never thought I was chubby.

03:25Yeah.

03:26And I like that.

03:27Because I didn't start my workout journey because of that.

03:32I had to do weight loss, I had to do this.

03:34Because if a girl, in season 1, she was like this.

03:39In season 2, she's picking up the gun.

03:41I wanted to look like that.

03:43Like, yes, she can pick up the gun.

03:44So, I'm very, very happy with that.

03:46Did you...

03:47I didn't understand it late, but I got it.

03:57So, like, how do you spend your time here?

03:59What do you do in this room, exactly?

04:01Here, it's more for thinking.

04:03More for, if I want to make bookmarks, I start making those.

04:08If I feel like totally draining on the energy or the flow that I want,

04:12then I just go ahead with that.

04:14Do you ever get bored?

04:16Or do you somehow, like, manage to, like, always keep yourself entertained or stimulated?

04:22I...

04:30I like to be creatively engaged, or to be thinking, or emotionally engaged.

04:35I think, yeah.

04:37In fact, my dreams are also super entertaining.

04:39The happiest dreams are when I'm on set.

04:41And you remember them?

04:42Most of them.

04:44Okay, that's interesting.

04:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.

04:46Let us start the...

04:48Oh, I like the phone cover.

04:51So, pink is my favourite colour.

04:52Oh, lovely.

04:53Great.

04:54Okay.

04:55Here we go, rapid fire.

04:56First question.

04:57Favourite movie you've acted in?

04:59Oh, my God.

05:01Masaan.

05:02One actor you dream of working with?

05:05Ryan Gosling and Timothy.

05:07No.

05:08Favourite travel destination?

05:12The world.

05:13That is just...

05:14Come on.

05:15To the hills, mountains.

05:16Any mountain?

05:17Yeah.

05:18Okay.

05:19Best piece of advice you've ever received?

05:21Tripathi, senior Pankaj Tripathi,

05:23had said this, that actor ka kaam set pe hi khata...

05:26Oh, matlab, this is me quoting him.

05:28Shut up.

05:29We have the disclaimer.

05:30Haan, exactly.

05:31Aap now wo project kaise perceived hoga

05:33ya audience ko kaisa lagega

05:35that is up to them.

05:36Kyunki aap kaam karo, create karo

05:38aur phir then let it go.

05:40Can you separate the art from the artist?

05:43Hmm.

05:44Do you think that's...

05:45Is that something you do or...

05:47I think yes, but it also depends.

05:49Matlab aisa nahi ki ek rule hai.

05:51Hmm.

05:52Ya phir, you know,

05:53you can put something in a bracket

05:54and waise hi hoga.

05:55Right.

05:56Lines will be blurred.

05:57It's fluid.

05:58So, I think you should go with the flow.

06:01It's always very important to remember

06:03who you are.

06:04In season 2 and 3 in Mirzapur,

06:06mai bhe gayi thi

06:08into

06:10this darkness

06:12that comes with Golu

06:14and everything that she's been through.

06:16Interesting, okay.

06:17So, then I was told that

06:19because as actors,

06:20you psyche yourself so much

06:22about something ki yeh hi hai

06:23because aap kisi aur ke kapde pehend rahe ho.

06:25Aap kisi aur ka scar

06:27or like for example,

06:28Gaun Kesh mein

06:29she has alopecia.

06:30Hmm.

06:31So, usmein wo alag tha.

06:32Toh, it's important to come back

06:34to things that are you.

06:36Yeah.

06:37Also, artist word broad term hai.

06:38Ki artist toh alag-alag time ke hota hai

06:40toh alag-alag type expressions bhi hota hai.

06:42But, I love what I do.

06:44It makes me so happy just talking about it.

06:46It makes me happy.

06:47I can see that.

06:48So, Shweta,

06:49we do this segment on our show

06:51called OK Boomer.

06:52Okay.

06:53Where we quiz our guests

06:54on Gen Z lingo.

06:57How good are you?

06:58Not at all.

06:59That's perfect.

07:00YOLO!

07:01Yikes!

07:02Okay.

07:03So, the first word is Riz.

07:05It means really cool

07:06and really like Riz.

07:08Riz.

07:09Riz.

07:10Riz.

07:11Riz.

07:12Riz.

07:13Riz.

07:14Riz.

07:15Riz.

07:16Riz.

07:17Riz.

07:18You're not off

07:19but it comes from charisma.

07:20Ah!

07:21So, if you have

07:22if you're really good at flirting,

07:23you have good game,

07:24he has Riz.

07:25Oh!

07:26Okay.

07:27That's what Riz means.

07:28Okay.

07:29Alright.

07:30What is a red flag?

07:31Oh my God.

07:32Red flag is

07:33when you see a red flag

07:34you just

07:35should go the other way.

07:36Yeah.

07:37The problem is

07:38most of the people don't do that.

07:39Don't.

07:40Yeah.

07:41So, red flags dekhe

07:42woo-woo-woo

07:43karke de hai.

07:44Exactly.

07:45Yeah.

07:46Go!

07:47Greatest of all times.

07:48Okay.

07:49Oh!

07:50It's so easy.

07:51Don't make it so hard.

07:52Because of Cheetah.

07:53Because

07:54messy

07:55and you know

07:56so yeah.

07:57Of course.

07:58Yeah.

07:59Also, Cheetah is five years younger

08:00so I get a lot of my coolness

08:01thanks to him.

08:02So, how about this?

08:03What does this phrase mean?

08:04She ate it

08:05and left no crumbs.

08:08Is that like a

08:10a crime scene situation?

08:12No?

08:13No.

08:14Why?

08:16That she did the job

08:17and then she did it so well

08:18that there were

08:19no crumbs left behind.

08:20So, it's not a crime thing

08:21but that's exactly

08:22what it is.

08:23So, even if you dress

08:24really well

08:25like she ate

08:26at that film festival

08:27and left

08:28no crumbs.

08:29So, it's a compliment.

08:32Got it.
