00:00I have told him so many times, now I am embarrassed to talk about him because the film was so long ago

00:13and frankly, I am not in touch with him these days. So, it seems a bit odd. But yeah, I think

00:20he's a man of supreme intelligence and what he has achieved is not a small thing. So, one can

00:29understand how strong it is and how strong it is in that individual. So, I really admire that.

00:41One thing I don't understand is why I want to keep up with a faster, younger crowd. Because

00:48I am of a certain age, I am of a certain maturity, I am of a certain experience and that is my

00:56strength. So, why would I leave my strength by trying to be like anybody else? So, the experience

01:07I have gained, the knowledge I have gained is what I bring into whatever I do and hopefully

01:12that is of, you know, interest and value.

01:15When I debuted and when I was in my career, I felt no pressure. I am always surprised, not

01:31surprised, I am always grateful. And yeah, maybe even a bit surprised that it has been so hit,

01:40it has happened, it has happened. Even after, sometimes I feel that I am almost 20 years old

01:46out of the limelight. And now, people remember what I have done and ask them, you know, when

01:54do we see you. So, I am very grateful for all that. So, I never felt any pressure. But yes,

01:59I feel pressure for Kaveri because I want her to be happy. You know, I want her to be happy. I want her

02:07to give it her best shot and I want to give her the best that I can give her. You know,

02:13when I came with my parents, I had no support. My mentors, you know, godfather or godmother,

02:22I didn't know anyone in the industry. I auditioned, you know, test tapes. I made it entirely by my own

02:35route. And hers is, of course, going to be a completely different journey, but it's still going

02:41to be a difficult journey. And I think as much as I can support her, I will give her all the support

02:48that she requires. And she does what makes her happy. Frankly, I feel all this career and success

02:59and all that. If someone wants to be successful, then they must definitely chase it. But it is not

03:09so important. It's okay to not even want it. You know, so it's entirely what she wants.

03:18See, people constantly ask me, why don't you do more work? Now I can. Of course, my daughter's grown up,

03:24but it was primarily because I was, you know, I was a single mother and

03:29bahar se both glamorous lagta hai, but being a single mother is very tough.

03:33It is emotionally tough. It's financially tough. It's socially tough. It is very tough. So,

03:39koi se glamor ki nazar se mat dekha hai. And child ultimately needs a loving environment and needs

03:48both parents. And I'll always say that if you can make things work, try to make it work. Of course,

03:52if it's not working, then respect yourself, but don't think it's easy. Aisahan, kisi ko lagna

03:58nahi chahiyeh, mein karungi, is ne kia, dekho, mein kiyo nahi karungi, nahi nahi, it's very tough.

04:08See, zaruri to nahi hai, but why not? Agar kuch, koi cheez enhance karein, then why not?

04:15Jaise loog auto-tune ke baare mein complain karte hai, usno auto-tune kia, auto-tune kia.

04:20Aap koi actor ko bolte hai, apne make-up kyun use kia, ya kisi ko bolte hai, apke daant kyun,

04:27apne, apne braces kyun laga hai, naturally laga, rakte hai na. So, as science advances,

04:34people are bound to use it and AI is the future. In fact, it's not even the future, it's here.

04:41So, one has to just accept it and dekhiyeh, logon ko aisa bhi lagta hai ki abhi AI ke saath koi bhi

04:47singer ban sata hai. It's not true. It's not true. Aap koi besura ko singer AI ke saath nahi bana sakte hai.

04:54So, these misconceptions should go out. But AI is a tool and why not use a tool?

05:00I mean, computer ke pehle, technology ke pehle, telegram hota tha. Should we go back to telegram?

05:06Nahi na, aap email bhaej sakte hai, WhatsApp bhaej sakte hai. It's like saying,

05:12nahi nahi telegram was pure, you use that. You know, toh it's unnecessary. It's silly.
