07:48oh my god of course

07:50greetings

07:52you did it

07:58greetings

08:00because imagine

08:02I was neutral

08:04I said hello

08:06how would I know

08:08greetings

08:10after that I

08:12I said

08:14greetings

08:16every morning

08:18greetings

08:20I had a very good time

08:22I have learnt a lot

08:26for example

08:30I mean we can't

08:32let it go so easily

08:34I have never actually

08:36talked about it

08:38no

08:40okay

08:42so she is asking what we do

08:44otherwise we think

08:46we just do it

08:48no

08:54okay

08:56I see that

08:58I saw that

09:00but I don't know

09:02what to talk about

09:04I never really talk about this

09:06but okay

09:08he is a very

09:10so he is

09:12so there I will tell you what all I learnt from him

09:14apart from singing in high speed

09:16I learnt

09:18which is something

09:20that one must learn from Shah Rukh Khan

09:22you know

09:24he can do that like nobody other

09:27the other thing I learnt from him was

09:29that he is

09:31a very giving actor

09:33he does not care about

09:35just his own dialogue

09:37or his scene or his performance

09:39believe me

09:41he cares about every single person

09:43in the frame

09:45and he says that he is like you know

09:47a film is made in totality

09:49if you are good

09:51then I will be good

09:53and vice versa

09:55so he always used to say that

09:57to me

09:59one thing he always says

10:01speed up the

10:03you know we are so used to talking slowly

10:05at least I speak slowly I think

10:07so he would always say

10:09let's talk fast

10:11I can't speak fast

10:13so you know

10:15there were two different schools of acting

10:17I think

10:19so there are so many things

10:21he told me it was an experience

10:23I would sit with him

10:25I would ask him questions

10:27I would ask him about the films that I liked him in

10:29you know

10:31like Dil Se and stuff like that

10:33I would ask him

10:35did you also like yourself in that

10:37as much as we all liked you in that

10:39stuff like that

10:41another thing that I learnt

10:43and that's why

10:45I mean I always felt this

10:47but now I feel this even more

10:49it can be Shah Rukh Khan

10:51it could be Brad Pitt

10:53or Daniel Day Lewis

10:55whoever it may be

10:57but yes I worked with someone who is supposedly

10:59and he is

11:01the biggest star that

11:03is there supposedly

11:05he has been rated the number one

11:07he is the number one or second

11:09most powerful actor

11:11so here he was the most powerful actor

11:13star in front of me

11:15and

11:17believe me

11:19he was

11:21working harder than

11:23any one of us

11:25that's why

11:27when I

11:29this applause should reach Arnab Goswami

11:31and not anyone else

11:33you are right

11:35so when

11:37and you know the things that he does

11:39he stops for every selfie

11:41he stops for his fans

11:43so anytime I think about it

11:45I feel that's my greatest treasure

11:47that

11:49I will stand there on set

11:51because I saw someone do it

11:53and I felt like I want to be like this
