00:00Sir, first of all, Shringarika is looking very good.

00:03People have already appreciated it, we have also seen the trailer.

00:05Thank you so much.

00:06Can you tell us a little bit about Shringarika?

00:08They have already shown it in the previous vlog.

00:11It looks like a very interesting character.

00:13It is a very action-packed character.

00:15Can you share a little bit about it?

00:17So basically, it is very difficult to tell Shringarika in one line.

00:22Because it is a 60-episode series.

00:26It has drama, revenge, action, romance, lust and compassion.

00:32So it is very difficult to tell it in one line.

00:36But it is, probably I am talking a little too much.

00:41But it is okay, we will talk more.

00:43But it is India's Game of Thrones kind of a series.

00:48So there is a lot in it.

00:50People are going to enjoy it a lot.

00:52What would you like to say?

00:54It is a fantasy, love story, action.

00:58Because I watch all the OTT series.

01:02Whether it is good or bad.

01:04So I can say with confidence that I have not seen anything like this in my Hindi OTT.

01:08And I am glad, thank you to Vibhuji and Atrangi

01:12that they are bringing such a series.

01:14And you will get everything in it.

01:16That's why it will go up to 60 episodes, season-wise.

01:20And we are very excited.

01:22Only two days are left.

01:24Let's see how it goes.

01:26I would like to ask you,

01:28as everyone knows you,

01:30but I have seen you on Facebook.

01:32Yes.

01:34You have made a lot of changes in your character.

01:36Can you tell us

01:38what kind of preparation you had to go through?

01:40What changes did you make?

01:46When you take on a character,

01:48especially in television,

01:50when we do serials,

01:52we shoot one episode and go home.

01:54The next day we do the next episode.

01:56We don't know what's going to happen.

01:58But when you do a series,

02:00a film,

02:02you win that character.

02:04You win that character because

02:06you play that character in that time period.

02:08So there were a lot of challenges.

02:10Vishwaraj is basically Khilji.

02:12Padmavath's Khilji.

02:14I genuinely manifested,

02:16as I said earlier,

02:19when I saw Padmavath,

02:21I thought I could do something like that.

02:23So maybe God heard me.

02:25Sometimes your tongue gets stuck.

02:27So when I got this role,

02:29I thought this is amazing.

02:31I had to do a lot of preparation.

02:33You are seeing hair, beard,

02:35body.

02:37Hair, beard, body.

02:39We both used to work out a lot.

02:41There was a lot of action.

02:43There were injuries.

02:45But the show must go on.

02:47There were budget constraints.

02:49We were making a big thing

02:51in a very low budget.

02:53So we understood that from

02:55a production point of view.

02:57So we worked really hard.

02:59We took gym keys at night.

03:01We became friends so that

03:03we could get gym keys.

03:05There is no 24-hour gym in Bombay.

03:07We used to open the gym ourselves.

03:09We used to lift the shutter.

03:11We used to work out.

03:13We used to switch off the AC.

03:15We only had 8 hours.

03:17Vishwaraj has a lot of shares.

03:19From being negative

03:21to falling in love with Aabhaar

03:23to becoming handicapped.

03:25There are a lot of shares.

03:27I always used to wonder

03:29why famous actors say

03:31that after Animal, Ranbir Kapoor

03:33did some therapy

03:35or after Khilji,

03:37Ranbir Singh did some therapy

03:39or Shahid Kapoor after Kabir Singh.

03:41But after doing this series,

03:43I realized that

03:45when you do a character

03:47for 80-100 days,

03:49it stays in your mind.

03:51When I came back

03:53after doing Khilji

03:55and Vishwaraj,

03:57it took me a week

03:59to get out of that

04:01world of not thinking

04:03like Vishwaraj.

04:05Now I understand

04:07what this process is.

04:09We worked really hard.

04:11It was really difficult

04:13to do Aabhaar for me.

04:15On the first day,

04:17everyone wanted to see me

04:19without makeup and with that stain.

04:21We tried a lot of things

04:23with different types of stains.

04:25I can understand

04:27because I am a girl

04:29who was born with a birthmark.

04:31I have a big birthmark on my back

04:33which I have covered with a tattoo.

04:35For me, it is an emotional connect

04:37when someone talks about birthmark.

04:40How you separate people

04:42from the crowd and society

04:44with a birthmark.

04:46Only one artist

04:48could do this role

04:50who was fit and trained for action.

04:52We got a lot of injuries

04:54on our hands.

04:56There is a shot in the promo

04:58where I am breaking bangles.

05:00It is my actual blood

05:02because I will take this shot

05:04because it looks real.

05:06I want your real blood.

05:08It is our passion.

05:10If not,

05:12some other artist will do it.

05:14The whole team

05:16did the same thing.

05:18I am thankful

05:20that I got Vishal in Vishwaraj.

05:22Otherwise, I don't think

05:24Vishwaraj and Aabhaar could have been

05:26the way they are now.

05:28Thank you Vibhuji

05:30for giving me Shringarika.

05:32I think this will be

05:34one of the best shows ever.

05:36I don't want it to end.
