00:00Do you get scared?

00:01In today's world, someone will come to our house to throw stones at us.

00:05If no one points out what's wrong in the world, how will it improve?

00:22Mannat is so mythologically down-marked, Sonia.

00:30All these stories are based on a true story.

00:46If we see, Naseer sir also shares his opinion about the riots.

00:52Even you do, don't you?

00:53Do you ever tell them to stop?

00:56Yes, yes, we do.

00:58Because in today's world, someone will come to our house to throw stones.

01:04And anyway, everyone is finding work with great difficulty.

01:07Nowadays, there are many reasons for not getting work.

01:10So, you know, one has to be sensible but not scared, if that's possible.

01:17It is scary, but what to do?

01:22If no one points out the wrong that is happening in the world, then how will it improve?

01:28There is a choice where you want to be true to yourself.

01:31And one is that if I don't express this, life will pass in peace and I will keep working.

01:38That's the safest route to do.

01:40Do both of you sit and say, I want to play it safe or do you say, leave it, we want to be true to ourselves?

01:46I think the general line is, we want to be true to ourselves as much as is possible.

01:52But I don't think we are foolhardy.

01:56Foolhardy?

01:59The boat has not sunk yet. We will see what happens next.

02:03Naseer sir is also very blatant in his opinions.

02:06You are also very upfront.

02:08When you work with him, is it difficult?

02:12It was.

02:14Because as you said, two opinionated people.

02:17It's hard to put them in one room and get them to behave themselves.

02:20But we have learnt over time.

02:22And basically, we trust each other.

02:24And the other's judgement.

02:27I know that what Naseer says, there is definitely some truth behind it.

02:31And he knows that what I say, there is some truth behind it.

02:34It feels a little bad. We get a little angry and then we make up.

02:38That happens.

02:40But that, he has my back and I have his.

02:43Wow. Does it ever happen when you are a good actor or a good actress,

02:47and then you say, my God, I am not getting my dues.

02:51Some people get depressed. Some people get frustrated.

02:56Some people feel, let's leave the industry.

02:58I will start a restaurant. Has it ever happened to you?

03:02It has happened many times.

03:04But I didn't feel like doing anything else.

03:07And also again, Naseer was a great help.

03:13He kept saying, you are fretting too much.

03:16Your time will come, when you least expect it, when you are older.

03:20I think he had understood that she doesn't know much about acting.

03:24Let her learn a little first. Then her time will come.

03:27And exactly the same thing happened.
