00:00So I didn't see myself that I could become an actor

00:04And then I became an actor

00:06So I always say that I didn't become an actor

00:09Or I didn't have a career because of me

00:11I had a career in spite of me

00:13And then when the shoot started

00:15They thought that I wasn't ready

00:17And then they replaced me with another artist

00:21So after shooting, they replaced me

00:24Yes, after 3-4 days

00:27Then I realized that I wasn't in that film

00:30I came from a place of such a not good feeling

00:33When I went to the set

00:35Neither did Ajay Devgan

00:36Neither did I see Amrish Puri

00:38Neither did I see Aruna Irani Ji

00:40Neither did I appreciate Nadeem Shravan's tune

00:43I didn't see anything

00:47I met you in 1991 when Poole and Kante came

00:51You and Ajay Devgan

00:53Both of you were the first film

00:55For both of you

00:57And it was wonderful

00:58Such a big hit

00:59Yes

01:00And it was really nice meeting you there Yuro

01:03How did you get that film?

01:05You know this is an easy question actually

01:09And it is a very magical and difficult question

01:14How is it?

01:16Because when I thought about myself

01:18What was it?

01:19What was it?

01:20I thought I couldn't get planning

01:23commission

01:24How could we plan

01:25What are our life

01:26How can we plan

01:27How can we plan

01:28And really Kill our life

01:29How can we plan

01:30With our launch

01:31A word

01:34When I was 5 or 6 or 8 years old, it was the dream that I would become an actress.

01:42When I was 13 or 14 years old, my mother was off.

01:49You were only 12 or 13?

01:54I was only 13.

01:56It was the dream that I would become an actor.

02:04In that sense, I didn't see myself as an actor.

02:08In my teenage years, I didn't think they were good.

02:14I didn't see the criteria for being an actor.

02:18I didn't see myself as an actor.

02:21When I saw myself in the mirror, I saw pimples.

02:25I was a sporty girl.

02:27I was always playing outside.

02:29I was a little bit of weight.

02:35I didn't see myself as an actor.

02:41Then I became an actor.

02:45I always say that I didn't become an actor or I didn't have a career because of me.

02:51I had a career in spite of me.

02:53But how did I get it?

02:55It happened that my father became a producer.

02:59He became a single parent.

03:01He became a producer.

03:03He became a producer.

03:05He made films like Awargi, Marg, Mahesh Bhatt was the director.

03:11I was a producer of Hema Ji.

03:13I had to go to my house.

03:15I had to go to my house.

03:17I had to watch the film and play with the film.

03:19I had to watch the film and rehearsals.

03:21I had to watch the film and rehearsals.

03:23I had to watch that.

03:25I had to watch the dance.

03:27He was a dancer.

03:29He was a dancer.

03:31He saw dance, music, films.

03:33Then my father became a producer.

03:35He was producing music.

03:37He was producing music.

03:39I was a producer for the film.

03:41I knew I was making a film, and he was actually making a film.

03:43And then my father was a producer for the film.

03:45When I was in my music setting, sitting and recording, someone saw me and said to my father that I am making a film and I want to launch Madhu.

03:58So my father was confused because as I said to you, I had seen this dream that I want to become an actor.

04:10And I thought that I can't be one.

04:15And I didn't do this to my father.

04:18And he was a producer.

04:20But I didn't do this to him.

04:23I wanted to be an actor.

04:25And when I went to the set, a producer and director told me to my father that I will launch my son.

04:33And my father was confused because I didn't do this to him.

04:39He was confused.

04:40So he came to the house and said to his tone, he wants to launch you.

04:45And this is a disbelief.

04:48I said, I want to be an actor.

04:52That is when I expressed myself.

04:55Okay.

04:56And then it was launched with them.

04:58So they had made me a photo shoot for Illustrated Weekly Magazine.

05:02And they had enrolled for Roshan Tanijar Ji in the acting school.

05:08They had enrolled for a crash course for a month.

05:12And then when the shoot started, they thought that I wasn't ready.

05:17And then they had replaced me with another artist.

05:22So after shooting, they had replaced me?

05:26Yes.

05:27After 3-4 days, I realized that I wasn't in that film.

05:32But that time of the time, I said, I would have decided that I was a actor.

05:44Then that determination.

05:46I can't see myself as an actor, all that was changed after that moment.

05:56Then I did a diploma course with Roshan Ji, my language and confidence.

06:06I joined a filmy dance class.

06:09I did a filmy dance class.

06:19After answering your question in short, I couldn't answer it in short.

06:24I couldn't answer it in short.

06:26It was a magical moment.

06:31When I was at home, after trying everything, everything didn't happen.

06:37I graduated, studies completed, diploma course.

06:41After all, it was an empty space in my life.

06:45When I was not doing anything, my father was pressure.

06:49When I was at home, when I was at home, I was playing a carom board with my friends and brothers.

07:11That's when I was at home and I was at home and I was at home and the sound of Kukukoli.

07:23He said that I'm saying Kukukoli.

07:25We are making a film.

07:27We are making a film.

07:28We are launching a film.

07:29We are launching a film.

07:30The film has become a film.

07:34We are looking at you for the romantic lead.

07:37So I didn't hear that whole thing because my concentration was on the coin

07:44which I was aiming for and I got my phone

07:47So I didn't even know that there was a big phone on the table

07:52Yes, a landline

07:54And his connection was in the other room

07:56So my father was sitting in the hall room

07:59So I heard a lot of noise here

08:02Just take a call, there is somebody called Kukukoli

08:05Next thing I know he spoke and next thing I knew I was doing that film

08:09Wow

08:10And that is how magically there was no auditioning

08:14There was no office-office

08:17It didn't happen

08:20Waiting period definitely

08:22One time rejection

08:24But that was the training period

08:27And that was the most important period

08:30Because I thought I will try it

08:33Like small, long, fat, thin

08:36Whatever may be the case

08:38Zidh?

08:39Zidh

08:40Now I will become an actor

08:42After that moment I got this opportunity

08:45One question

08:47You said that the film had been made by Adhi

08:50So did you make it with someone else?

08:51I think so

08:52So you replaced someone else?

08:54Yes

08:55And so it goes

08:57Okay

09:00And did you meet Ajay Devgan at that time?

09:03I mean just before shooting or?

09:05No, I got it on the set

09:06And

09:08What was your first impression of Ajay Devgan?

09:12Because he was not a very good looking person

09:14You know I was very blinded by my own desire

09:21Burning desire

09:23Today I am a very different person

09:26So that that 20-year-old girl

09:29To think about this about this, it's difficult for me

09:33Because today I am not a person

09:35But to go back

09:37That 20-year-old girl

09:40Who was fighting in 13 years

09:42Who was fighting in every situation

09:46Who was creating food in the kitchen

09:48Who was in the kitchen

09:49If I forgot to order a gas cylinder, it would not happen to be gas, because I would say

09:58that I would order a gas cylinder in the morning.

10:01Then I would leave the service and stay at home.

10:04Because I would miss it.

10:07Now I was little.

10:09Yes.

10:10But that girl would not believe in her dreams.

10:14I would like to have a belief, self-esteem.

10:19As long as my mother was alive, she would have told me that I am the prettiest girl in the whole world.

10:25And I would go out just to leave my house and go to Hema Ji's house.

10:30Because we were very close as families, like Amba and all of that.

10:33To leave my house.

10:35Cousins come to their house.

10:36The culture of friendship, friends, and friends was not there.

10:40We would have left with our house.

10:42We would have left with our friends.

10:43We would have left with our friends.

10:44We would have left with our friends.

10:45And we would have left with our cousin's house.

10:46So my auntie would have told me, after Hema, it is you.

10:51Okay.

10:52Okay.

10:53You know, my mommy used to say, you are going to be the next actor.

10:58I will become an actor.

10:59You are the most beautiful girl in town.

11:01So, that was the belief that mother and father thinking, you are the queen on this earth.

11:09And I didn't see anything.

11:10There was no social media.

11:11There was no exposure.

11:12There was no TV channels.

11:14I didn't know what the world was.

11:16The world was only for me and my world.

11:19That's all.

11:20After that, when I went to Mithibhai College.

11:22Okay.

11:23Okay.

11:24Then I saw, oh, the girls look like this in my life.

11:28Right.

11:29And they can become an actor.

11:32They can become an actor.

11:33They can become an actor.

11:34They can become an actor.

11:35They can become an actor.

11:36They can become an actor.

11:37And then I became into a shadow of me.

11:39So, she took a picture in the picture.

11:40I was telling her.

11:41In fact, this is funny.

11:42Mayesh Bhad had heard of it.

11:43He was my dad's director.

11:44I was the director of my dad's director.

11:46So, after selecting me, I sat on my dad's set.

11:47My dad's set, I was telling her, uncle.

11:48I have been selected to do this role.

11:53He was my father's director, so after selecting me, when I sat on my father's set, I said

12:02uncle, I have been selected to do this role.

12:05You think I can be an actor?

12:07I asked him this.

12:09You think can I be an actor?

12:11So he in his very majestic voice said, do you want to be an actor?

12:15He asked me.

12:16I said yes.

12:17He said then never ask this question ever again.

12:20You want it, you go for it.

12:22He said that to me once.

12:23Typical management.

12:24Yes.

12:25Yes.

12:26But having said that, I was replaced.

12:32I faced rejection and rejection because I was not good enough.

12:36Obviously.

12:37They thought that I wasn't ready or I wasn't good enough.

12:40So I wasn't.

12:41That picture was made?

12:42It was made.

12:43And did you see it?

12:44I didn't see it.

12:45But it went.

12:47I didn't see it.

12:48I didn't see it.

12:49I didn't see it.

12:50I didn't see it.

12:51I didn't see it.

12:52But I want to come to that.

12:53So you asked Ajay Devgan to go to the set.

12:54How did you see it?

12:55The back story is I came from a place of such a not good feeling.

13:00Right.

13:01When I went to the set, I didn't see it.

13:02I didn't see it.

13:03I didn't see it.

13:04I didn't see it.

13:05I didn't see the set.

13:06I didn't see it.

13:07It was just me.

13:08I didn't see it.

13:10It was just me.

13:11That's it.

13:12That's it.

13:13That's it.

13:14And when I went to the set, I came from a place of such a not good feeling.

13:17When I went to the set, I didn't see Ajay Devgan, Amrish Puri, Arunayrani Ji.

13:22I didn't appreciate the tune I had seen Nadim Sharawan.

13:27I didn't see anything.

13:29It was just me.

13:31It was only that I will become an actor and I will see myself on the screen on the screen and I will say it from the whole world.

13:42I belong to the film world but I did it all by myself.
