00:00I went to give an audition for Bhoot in Ram Leela, but it didn't happen.

00:04After that, I was offered Happy New Year, which I was going to do.

00:07But again, I didn't get it, and it went to Deepika.

00:24One day, I got a call for Balaji.

00:28So I went to give an audition for Bhoot.

00:31Someone was coming, someone else was coming.

00:33I remember, they gave me a white sari.

00:37I was standing there as Bhoot, and I gave a look test for Bhoot.

00:41Even that didn't work out for me.

00:43Just imagine, what was happening to me.

00:46But after 5-6 days, or 1-2 weeks, I got a call from Balaji.

00:52That we are auditioning for a character called Archana.

00:56And it's a Marathi girl's character, who has to wear a sari.

01:00So I told my sister, my sister was with me, Poonam.

01:03I just told her, look Poonam, I don't think I can be Balaji's heroine.

01:07Because Balaji's heroine looks very subtle.

01:10I didn't even wear a sari, I wore a suit.

01:11I said, I don't want to do it.

01:13I was so sure.

01:14So I went.

01:16I gave the audition.

01:17What did I do?

01:18I remember, after my grandfather,

01:20that girls in our house always wear bindis.

01:23Marathi girls, black bindis.

01:24So I just wore that bindi.

01:27And then I gave the audition.

01:28And in 5 days, I got a call that I got selected.

01:39I had given a look test for Ram Leela.

01:40But I didn't get selected for Ram Leela.

01:43Because I think Kareena was doing Ram Leela first.

01:46And then Deepika did it.

01:49So I didn't get selected.

01:50But I did get suggested.

01:52After that, I was offered Happy New Year.

01:55But again, I didn't get it.

01:57And it went to Deepika.

01:59But after that, I got a call for Badlapur.

02:03I was doing Pavitra.

02:05I said, I don't want to do it now.

02:07I mean, it's not happening.

02:08The thing in between.

02:10I was tired.

02:11I thought, no, whatever I'm doing, I'm very happy with that.

02:25Love is full of trials, pain, and separation.

02:29If I'm in love, I forget everything.

02:32And I just focus on that.

02:34I feel like, I've always seen this.

02:36I've seen a lot of women being very successful.

02:39But they don't have love.

02:41You know, I have seen that.

02:42So I always feel that my priority is my love.

02:46These are things that come and go.

02:48Fame, name, money.

02:50If it has to come, it will come.

02:52But if you want to keep love, you have to give a lot of love to yourself.

02:57So I've always this feeling.

02:59And till today, I'm like that.
