00:00You're not allowed to give me advice after Liger.

00:02It's terrifying to hear something about your child.

00:05Yeah, you are at fault and we're not doing a film together again.

00:08All news is good news.

00:10I know.

00:11No news is bad news.

00:13I've seen your journey and of course,

00:14you've had a complicated relationship with the public perception.

00:19Trollers.

00:21From the backlash on the actor's roundtable to the big successes like

00:24Kho Gaye Hum Ka and Call Me Bae.

00:26The world knows the public version of this journey.

00:30As a family, we've seen a version of it.

00:33But what is your version?

00:35What version have you all seen?

00:36First you say that.

00:37It's terrifying to hear something about your child.

00:41But I think it was something you were prepared for

00:44because you knew you were coming into the public space.

00:47But I was always worried because you were too young

00:50to take this kind of stuff that was coming towards you.

00:53But the rest you tell me.

00:55Honestly, at the start, I would get very affected with things.

00:58If I read the smallest of things, I would cry and break down.

01:02And you know, whatever.

01:04Yeah, I don't know.

01:04You were never...

01:05You honestly were not seeing anything.

01:06Mom was there.

01:08You were at home, but you were in your own world,

01:09in the bathroom and all that.

01:11But whatever.

01:12So I was like, not okay.

01:13And I used to feel really sad.

01:15But then I think I've gotten much stronger over time.

01:18And I think also living alone has made a big difference

01:21because I feel like when I used to stay with y'all,

01:23I feel like when I used to get sad,

01:26y'all used to like feed into my sadness.

01:28Like, you know, then mom would be like,

01:29what happened? Are you fine?

01:31So like, I would get more sad, you know,

01:32like just like make me more overwhelmed.

01:36I was like acting also a little bit while like crying at home.

01:39But now that I'm living alone,

01:40I've actually really learned how to like control my feelings.

01:45Like nothing affects me so much.

01:46Like I'm able to like be with my thoughts and be like,

01:50you know that I really couldn't be alone.

01:51Like I couldn't sleep alone.

01:53I always needed people around me all the time.

01:55And I'm quite like happy being alone.

01:57But I'll tell you what, for me, if you ask me,

02:00I've always had that policy that all news is good news.

02:06I know.

02:06No news is bad news.

02:08But yes, of course, the amount of trolling which you got.

02:12But how do you, now though you must be used to it.

02:15Yeah, like now I don't really like read anything.

02:18I'm quite like over it to be honest,

02:20because I also feel like I've learned how to like,

02:23like see what really matters and what doesn't matter.

02:25Like now I think for me, the most important thing is that

02:28people are talking about my work and my performances.

02:30So it overshadows everything that they might be saying

02:33about other stuff happening.

02:34And over time, I did like I started so positive also,

02:37which kind of started the conversation

02:39about online bullying and positivity.

02:41And I feel like while helping others deal with their issues,

02:44I kind of dealt with my issues on my own.

02:47And I felt like talking about it to people,

02:49talking to Raisa, talking to my mom,

02:51or talking to my friends really helped ease the load.

02:54But what helped me more than anything,

02:56I would say was working.

02:58Like, you always say like, after a film doesn't do well,

03:01what do you do the next day?

03:02Get back on set and just like,

03:03like I remember after Liger, I was so sad.

03:05And I was so upset.

03:07But I started-

03:07And you were cursing me for making a different film.

03:09Yeah, whatever.

03:11Yeah, you are at fault.

03:12And we're not doing a film together again.

03:14You know, I wanted to read my scripts and choose them.

03:16Sometimes you have to just do a film.

03:18No.

03:18You're not allowed to give me advice after Liger.

03:21You're not allowed to give me advice after Liger.
