00:00The second film is coming, some money will come, let's do this, the third film is coming but one day the film will stop coming.

00:12I am working now, if I get stuck in shooting after a few days, then you…

00:30A lot of times this thing comes up that a lot of actors are like this, that maybe they face financial problems and face a lot of problems in it.

00:48What do you think, especially for character artists or for any actor, because a lot of times the heroes have also faced problems,

00:55writers have also faced it, there is a recent example of Qadar Khan, he had a great run when he was at his peak.

01:01So what do you think that actors should do so that they remain financially secure and in future they don't have to worry about their family?

01:07There is nothing like that. I am working now, if I get stuck in shooting after a few days, then you…

01:15I mean, why only actors? Those who have saved a little money, their future is good, otherwise everyone is hanging on Aadhaar.

01:25I believe that the royalty system should be here, that whoever is being used for any service, they should have something or the other.

01:36If a technician gets a cheque in 5 years, that's great, he has come to the whole team, isn't it? That system is very important.

01:45Because there are a lot of platforms, OTT platforms, there are a lot of films like Golmaal, when it comes on TV, people appreciate it.

01:53So that's basically what you want to say. That's a good idea.

01:55It is the same that everyone is being valued, you don't even know who is being valued, so there is some benefit because of that.

02:01Life is not insured. I mean, there was a call actor, I heard that he is fighting cancer in Chandigarh.

02:08So it's not like that, but at least there is something. We have given our whole life in this.

02:15One thing I would like to say very openly that until you do something, no one supports you, in any way.

02:23But as soon as you get some work, money comes, everyone's things start coming out, bring it here, bring it there, give it there.

02:31There is no help in standing up for anyone.

02:33That there should be a help so that you can stand up.

02:36Come in any line.

02:37Absolutely.

02:38And when you stand up by yourself, then all the burdens start coming on you from above.

02:47Are you understanding or not?

02:48Absolutely, absolutely.

02:49There is a combination of respect and income.

02:53Here the work is that income is in commercial, from where it will go, and respect is in this.

03:00So the actor keeps fighting for that.

03:02Many actors say that what to do, it has to be done, it has to be done.

03:06Whatever we know, everyone knows.

03:08But now it is the same, he also has to keep that it shouldn't be like this.

03:13I have found that it has to be done with enthusiasm.

03:16It has to be done without any complex, with full enthusiasm.

03:21I would also like to say one thing, there are many examples like this,

03:24whether they are actors or directors or technicians,

03:26who have made investments at the right time and in the right way,

03:29their families have also been given a lot of advantage in the future.

03:33So do you think that it is also the responsibility of the actors, for example,

03:37I mean, obviously, they enjoy life, everything,

03:40but at the same time, right investments are also important.

03:43It is very important.

03:44Why only actors?

03:45Everyone needs it.

03:46Everyone needs it.

03:49And people do it in their own way.

03:51Now the actors have become a little more careful.

03:54As you will hear, big actors only work for their own production house.

03:58Exactly.

03:59If you are selling me and I am selling, then please,

04:04we don't have that kind of position.

04:07Boss, you will get so much money, do this,

04:10give this much to them, give this much to them,

04:13whatever is left, that is expensive.

04:15Isn't it?

04:16Today you live in Bombay,

04:19it has a separate expense,

04:22it is a lot of expense.

04:23It is more expensive than many cities here.

04:26Exactly.

04:27You are immersed in that only.

04:28Then you don't think, it will come,

04:30the second film is coming,

04:31some money will come,

04:32let's do this,

04:34the third film is coming,

04:35but one day the film will stop coming.

04:37That's it.

04:38This is all that is left,

04:40whatever is left,

04:41one bedroom hall is left,

04:42or what is left,

04:43or what is left.
