You see me at the airport, I'm roaming in my chashma and a sweatshirt and my hair is all oily
00:03
So I used to just cry and I used to be like not able to move on from things
00:09
I just wanted to be famous, I wanted to be an actress, I wanted to see myself on the big screen
00:13
That was it
00:23
From your first day on Student of the Year as a 17 year old
00:28
Oh my god, you're throwing it back
00:29
But to now and being Bae, how has it shifted for you, right?
00:34
Like how you see yourself, not just as an actor but as a person
00:38
Because basically you can map your transition like most people can't on camera
00:42
When I used to act, I used to hold back a lot because I used to be very scared of judgment
00:47
I used to be like okay if I do this then people will not think it's good
00:50
So I used to hold back, I used to like protect myself a little bit
00:54
But a change that's especially happened in Call Me Bae is I think I'm less inhibited as an actor
01:00
Because when you're doing comedy, like I was in comedy for the first time
01:04
You can't be inhibited, you can't hold back, you have to make mistakes
01:08
Look as silly as possible and try to do something different
01:11
And that's when you get the best results
01:12
So I think confidence is also coming out
01:16
So this is like from your actor self, right?
01:20
What about Ananya? Just Ananya who goes back home and isn't on a set
01:25
What about Ananya as a person?
01:27
I think as a person not that much has changed
01:30
I definitely feel like I'm a lot stronger than I was before
01:33
Like first when I started out the smallest of things used to affect me so much
01:37
Like I used to just cry and I used to be like not able to move on from things
01:42
I would keep going and reading even the smallest of things and just get very very affected
01:46
But I think the person that I am today, I don't get affected by any sort of negativity or hate
01:54
But that could also not be good
01:57
Because I feel like I'm less affected by the good also now
02:00
You know like when I started out when someone praised me
02:02
I'd be like, oh my god, thank you so much, tell me more
02:05
But now I think I'm just a little more neutral to everything
02:10
Like you're more centered
02:12
Yeah, I'm more centered
02:13
I'm not too swayed by success or failure
02:16
So what do you think of fame, the industry as a whole?
02:21
When I started out and when I was younger, I just wanted to be famous
02:24
I wanted to be an actress
02:25
I wanted to see myself on the big screen
02:27
That was it, that's all I wanted
02:29
And when I started actually working, I was like, I don't think I want just that
02:33
You know, for me now, my priority is being the best possible actor that I can be
02:37
You know, getting the best at my craft
02:39
So I think people have different priorities
02:41
And it's okay at different points in your life for those priorities to change also
02:46
You know, I love being famous
02:48
You know, I love being in the position that I am
02:51
I love being recognized because my dad always says that, you know
02:55
If you're walking someone, people don't come up to you
02:57
You'll be so sad and so upset because you work for this
02:59
You work for the audience's love and their appreciation
03:02
And for me, fame is that, you know, fame is not just being seen
03:05
It's being loved by that many people
03:08
I like it in the most tangible term when I can see the returns of that
03:11
When I can see impact that my work has on people
03:15
Or when I can actually see people come up to me and talk about my work
03:18
So that's the way I kind of see fame
03:20
It is glamorous also, that is a part of it
03:22
But then there's also long hours, sacrifices, which is there in every job
03:27
But yeah, I think the best that I can do is just be as real as possible
03:31
Like if I'm looking a certain way, then also the next day you see me at the airport
03:34
I'm roaming in my chashma and a sweatshirt and my hair is all oily
03:37
So I do try to keep it as real as possible
03:39
And I voice it as much as I can
03:41
You know, I tell people that no, this took me two hours to look like this
03:44
These are not my own clothes
03:46
Yeah, they're sourced
03:47
Yeah, they're sourced
03:47
I have to give them back after the shoot
03:49
So yeah, I think just keeping it real as much as possible
