00:00This country, there's so much unfairness.

00:02The people that work for us,

00:03the people that drive our cars and stuff,

00:05like, I mean, it just constantly kind of bothers me

00:09and I'm aware that the least we can do is be

00:12kind of polite about things to everyone.

00:15I get a little bit bored in Bombay

00:35because I can't go out much

00:37and that's nothing to do with celebrities.

00:38The climate and it's the fact that there's no

00:42park to feed the ducks in, you know, like whatever.

00:45So we suffer on that level and it goes deep, you know,

00:48that means people are kind of addicted more to, you know,

00:52social media and indoor things and become insular,

00:55don't even kind of really connect to each other sometimes.

00:58What about charm?

00:59I don't know.

01:01All this has taken years, you know, I don't know.

01:05You weren't always this charming?

01:06No, I used to really try.

01:07It was this, I remember being a kid

01:10and a lot of girls telling me in Delhi that,

01:13yeah, you're like my brother and I used to be really upset

01:16and then one summer, I think it just changed.

01:18I don't know, I think it's growing up.

01:19I don't know what it is.

01:22I just know a bad thing is to be pretentious.

01:25I think if you get, you know, don't pretend.

01:27My dad was like an ultimate,

01:29you get a lot of this from your father if you respect him.

01:32Some people don't and they join the Taliban,

01:34but I think, you know, it's not actually a joke.

01:39They don't, I mean, some people don't respect their fathers.

01:42They're like, okay, I'm going to join a street gang.

01:44There are many things that can, you know,

01:45make you feel privileged beyond money.

01:47Like, an education can make, is a great privilege,

01:50which I really didn't think was a privilege

01:52when it was happening, but it is.

01:55Like, I mean, if like my driver had gone to that school,

01:59maybe he would be like CEO of, you know, Britannia.

02:02I don't know.

02:03I had a friend of mine come and spend my wife's birthday

02:07with us in England recently

02:09and he was really like so comfortable

02:12and he looked like he was, you know, Lord so and so.

02:15And he's not really, I mean, he's,

02:17but he looked like he was really flamboyant

02:20and comfortable and happy.

02:21But I've always been a little,

02:24even though I'm really privileged

02:26compared to a lot of people,

02:30I feel it could all end, you know?

02:31So I have a very strong sense of.

02:34Yeah, and doom could descend at any moment.

02:37So I'm really not that comfortable

02:39and I haven't really ever been.

02:41I'm also quite into mythology and the Greek myths

02:44and the Indian myths and all this kind of stuff.

02:46So you're aware that the gods are watching, you know?

02:48So you shouldn't be too.

02:50Arrogant?

02:51Yeah, hubris.

02:52I've always had a fairly steady and interesting job,

02:55no matter what, over the last 10 years,

02:57including Sacred Games.

02:58So every year, the content's been changing, getting better.

03:01If you asked me, are you happy being an actor?

03:04And it was still 1995

03:05and we're still making the same kind of movies.

03:08You know, maybe not.

03:08But luckily, there's been like a growth.

03:10Shift.

03:11Yeah.
