00:00I think people know what is more important and I'm happy about that, honestly.

00:05Because this issue has been raised by the whole country against it.

00:11And yeah, it's definitely more important than a film.

00:22My stand is that I'm with the country.

00:25And you can see the atmosphere in the country, the way people are protesting.

00:30That right cannot be taken away from them.

00:32And I'm very, very proud of the people who have come out and voiced their opinion.

00:36And I'm with them. I'm with the people, yeah.

00:49I'm not scared. Then it becomes about them.

00:52All the cameras are on them. Where will the rest of the people's voice go?

00:56So if people could understand that they have also come as part of the crowd,

01:00then of course people would have come.

01:02But sometimes it doesn't happen.

01:04It becomes a little inconvenient for other people who are present there.

01:07So I think maybe that's why not many people could have come.

01:10But if it was made to be that they also, you know,

01:14as a voice in the totality of it, if seen, then I would also love to be there.

01:22No, whoever wants to voice will voice.

01:24Whoever doesn't want to voice, they won't voice.

01:26I mean, that is also after all a right that they have.

01:32I think people know what is more important.

01:35And I'm happy about that, honestly.

01:37Because this issue, the whole country has raised their voice against it together.

01:43And yeah, it's definitely more important than a film.
