00:00I'm Nirmala Devi Rathore, excuse me,

00:23I'm Nirmala Devi Rathore, excuse me,

00:26if you don't mind.

00:29Your new physiotherapist, Dr. Chakravarthy,

00:32will be arriving day after tomorrow.

00:43It's the first Disney branded film in India

00:45from Bollywood.

00:46Vivaad and I have the privilege of being a part

00:48of a really big first.

00:49It's a romantic fairy tale,

00:51it has all the Disney values

00:53and it's a really sweet happy film that'll make you you know smile at the

00:59end of it. The biggest thing is that it is actually a family entertainer you can

01:03just like go groups and clusters of people from five years of age to 65

01:08years of age everyone would enjoy it and it's a it's a nice you know romantic

01:13Disney fairy tale set in that same tradition but obviously it has the quirks

01:18of Millie. It's an ode to Rishikesh Mukherjee films that's why my name is

01:23Millie it's another Rishikesh Mukherjee film and obviously there's an inspiration

01:27on making a simple you know fairytale I think that's what Rishikesh Mukherjee

01:33was known for he made these you know really simple films but they had a

01:38fairytale element to it whether it was a Goody whether it was a Khubsura whether

01:41it was a Millie they were like really sweet films and they were you know

01:45driven by love and they were driven by great family values and I think that's

01:51what Khubsura is. It's an ode to Rishikesh Mukherjee films just to be safe we

01:55bought the rights to the 1980 Rekha film.

02:01It's a Disney film and it's a love story and it's inspired Rishikesh Mukherjee

02:06films there's always a happily ever after and I think that's the amazing

02:10thing about you know love and I think that's what's missing that sometimes

02:14when there are stories which are which have us with movies which have a

02:18storyline these days there isn't much of a happily ever after and I think in this

02:24film I think we're trying to do that have an happily ever after where

02:27everything gets tied up in a beautiful neat bow when I entered this industry

02:34even though I was everybody thought I was put together two years later was

02:38when I came and everybody said what are these weird clothes that she wears why

02:41does she never have a hair blow-dried and down you know why does she dress

02:45like that what is this makeup that she keeps on doing why doesn't she have a

02:47smoky eye all the time and I just stuck to being who I am and that sets a trend

02:53I guess to a certain extent when you don't follow the beaten path and I think

02:58then from being a misfit you you kind of become somebody who I don't know either

03:04is sounding extremely immodest you you set trends I think that's what it is or

03:08choose the kind of films that you do or say what I want to say and have an

03:11opinion and be an individual I think that is when you are like a part of the

03:17herd I think you always be a misfit you don't fit anywhere and I think in a lot

03:22of ways I've never been a part of the herd I don't think I mean even if I

03:26wanted to and even if I thought that maybe I should become a little more

03:29conventional and do everything that comes my way I don't think I'd be very

03:34happy and I don't think I'd have much of a life so I rather I'm quite satisfied

03:39and quite content with where I am right now not just me not just Sona I think

03:42everyone thinks that being a misfit is actually a compliment being because

03:49otherwise if you fit you fit in convention and so-called you know the

03:53modern perception of normalcy and that kind of takes away your individuality so

03:57I'd always like to think of myself as a misfit I was back in the day when when

04:03when we you know came in who's just introducing metal music people like what

04:07is this what is this noise and a lot of people still think that but that's sort

04:11of you know but I feel that everyone carries an individual culture inside

04:16them and that being in a global village in order to identify yourself as an

04:20individual to be I'd be able to identify yourself as a unique person you need to

04:25be a misfit so if I'm not a misfit I think that's that's a terrible thing and

04:31I'd love to be a misfit and I think I consider myself to be one and for all

04:35those people out there who do think that being a misfit is something wrong no

04:39that's just the path to genius hi I'm Sonam Kapoor I'm Prabhat Khan and you're

04:42watching GN TV

04:50I think I spoke a little too much

04:52No, no, you were absolutely correct
