00:00Arrgh!

00:04And I used to be like, I wanna play Sita and Vaidya but that day never came.

00:24Growing up, I was always afraid of approaching people or talking to them

00:28being the first one to start the conversation and there were two girls I still remember their names

00:33when I was in first grade they were like nobody is going to talk to Tripti and from first till

00:37fifth nobody was actually you know in my class they never used to talk to me because those girls

00:42were popular in class so that you know that just broke my confidence as a kid and I was not very

00:49bright as a student in studies so that also and then I had to repeat one year in sixth standard

00:58because I failed in maths my math was still very horrible I still get dreams

01:02about you know appearing for a maths exam

01:05So he started off by playing Sita then he played Ram for like good five six years then he played

01:24Ravan after that then he played this character called Vashu Ram and now he finally plays Dashrath

01:29those things used to like excite us as kids and you know I used to also tell my

01:34father that even I want to go and do something so he asked me he's like I can let you play Sita's

01:39you know friends or then when Sita is kidnapped there are two Rakshasis who are there with her

01:47at the Ravan's Darbar me and my cousin used to just sit there beside Sita and look at her and I used

01:53to be like oh I want to play Sita one day but that day never came

01:56No one in my family has ever you know stayed away from the parents or you know in a different

02:06city or state and I've always lived in Delhi and when I told them that you know I want to move to

02:12Bombay for work they were like no no chance you're not going to Bombay I was working with some agency

02:17in Delhi then luckily they were opening up a new office in Bombay they were like don't worry we

02:21are here and we look after her every day they used to call me at least six times a day

02:26have you eaten have you done this have you done that and my friends used to be like wow

02:40I used to just mug up my lines and go there and he used to just give me the brief and then I used

02:44to just shut my eyes and go ahead with the scenes but it was you know very difficult

02:48because somehow I felt that I wasn't very truthful to the character because I didn't know anything

02:54you know about acting

03:12This whole debate is I believe it's useless honestly because this this has been going on

03:18forever you know since the time I've come which it's been more than four years this

03:24debate was on there it's on now and it's going to be on forever our focus needs to shift from

03:30actors to the story because we need to understand that our story can be a hero and not the

03:36actors who are doing it if your story is great no matter who's playing it you know it's going to be

03:42received well by the audience because you know with especially OTT now Netflix Amazon there is

03:48such great content people are not going to waste their time watching something that's that they don't like
