00:00I remember, I used to go for auditions

00:02and I used to think

00:04that until I crack an audition

00:06I

00:08I won't see any beach

00:10I used to cross Juhu beach and Bombay

00:12is like

00:14right next to the ocean and I won't see it

00:16I used to go like this, by auto

00:18But my first question to you was

00:20Will you make roti?

00:22Yes, I will make roti

00:24In fact, I am proud of rotis by the way

00:26You know

00:28Raghu, Raghu Raji

00:30are one of my closest friends by the way

00:32I came to Mumbai for the first time

00:34I used to do radio show

00:36I used to do a TV serial

00:38and MTV

00:40and I used to sleep in the car

00:42I didn't sleep

00:44I got a driver only because I could sleep

00:46So I used to sleep for 3 hours

00:48I had an office in Parel

00:50I used to sleep for 3 hours

00:52I used to work like a horse

00:54I remember, I used to go for auditions

00:56and I thought that until my audition

00:58doesn't crack

01:00I won't see any beach

01:02I used to cross Juhu beach

01:04and Bombay is like

01:06right next to the ocean and I won't see it

01:08I used to go like this, by auto

01:10When I got my first contract in my hand

01:12as a radio presenter

01:14then I went to Juhu beach

01:16and I opened my arms

01:18and I was like, I have arrived

01:20I have conquered this world

01:22So you manifest your energy and you just

01:24think about a particular thing and you achieve it finally

01:26Where would you like to see yourself at the age of 50

01:28or the age of 60?

01:30I am not saying career, what do you want man?

01:32What do you want? Do you want to get up

01:34in a big house?

01:36I am not very materialistic as a person

01:38My entire focus

01:40is on just happiness

01:42Your internal happiness, your inner peace

01:44and it has to be

01:46a correct balance between contentment

01:48and ambition. So I started as a radio

01:50presenter, became an anchor

01:52but my eventual goal was to

01:54be an actor. I think success is when

01:56preparation meets opportunity

01:58and there is no dearth of opportunity in Mumbai

02:00You should be well prepared. So I was really well prepared

02:02I have been doing theatre since childhood, music since childhood

02:04and

02:06I was at the right place at the right time

02:08Can you explain that more? Right place, right time

02:10I am glad I am born in this era

02:12If I would have been born 10 years earlier

02:14in the early 2000s, if I would have been struggling

02:16then maybe I wouldn't have got the chance

02:18because the industry was a little closed

02:20One closed group

02:22No, it's not like that

02:24Opportunities have increased for everyone

02:26It is open to all

02:28If you have talent, there is no lack of

02:30opportunities and you give

02:32auditions, you are there

02:34So it's for everyone, not just for actors

02:36but also for producers, new directors

02:38any artists

02:40This is the best era to be an artist

02:42My question to you is again for the young guys out there who are thinking about marriage

02:44How do you become a great husband?

02:46What do you do? Because you see a lot of guys crying

02:48about their marriages

02:50Listen, nobody is a great husband
