00:00Thank you so much for having me.

00:09I think with this show, there's such a scope to learn so much.

00:15So, you know, I'm going into this with an open mind, an open heart,

00:18and I'm excited to just embrace this journey and pick up so many life skills and experiences

00:25that I feel like I can come back and incorporate into my daily life.

00:29I'm looking forward to, you know, not just learning from the villagers that we're going to be interacting with,

00:35but I'm also excited to interact with the other women that are on the show, my co-contestants,

00:40I feel like who are such strong, independent women themselves,

00:44and there's going to be so much to take away from them and their journeys too.

00:53That's a good question. I think every experience is so different.

00:57You know, you can't compare one to the other.

01:02The last one was a whole different fear, and I think going into this is a whole different feeling.

01:11There's not so much fear in this sense, but there's nervousness, because I think over here,

01:16we're completely taken out of our comfort zone.

01:20You know, we're going to be put into a world that none of us have lived ever in our lives,

01:24and there's going to be so many new things that we're going to be exposed to that,

01:30you know, I would have never had the opportunity to be exposed to otherwise.

01:33So I'm looking forward to it. There's less fear going into this one,

01:36a little bit of nervousness, but a lot of excitement.

01:38And I think it's a privilege and an honor to be part of the first ever season that they're doing.

01:44You know, for such an interesting concept made for India,

01:48but that can connect, I think, worldwide.

01:52It's going to be very entertaining, and it's a privilege to be able to work with Z on this.

01:56It's going to definitely be something that's very formal.

02:26It's very foreign and very new to me, but I think that's what's going to make it so exciting for audiences.

02:31Or, I think audience ko baut mazaayega,

02:34because they want to see, you know, these urban women struggle in those situations.

02:39And at the end of the day, we're doing this to entertain all of you.

02:41So if, you know, it makes you laugh a little, then we're doing our job correctly.

02:46But I think through the journey, there's a lot of scope to be able to learn as well,

02:51and come out of it better.

02:53Do you think that you'll be able to gel with the managers also?

02:56A hundred percent.

02:57I'm the type of personality that can gel with anybody you put in front of me.

03:02Whatever walk of life they may come from, whoever they may be,

03:05you know, I just, I love to adapt and get to know different people,

03:10and just have a conversation, because I feel like people have such interesting stories.

03:14Listen, as long as we go to bed early, I can wake up early.

03:23But if it's past a certain time, and I'm made to get up,

03:28don't talk to me before my coffee.

03:31That's all I got to say.

03:32I definitely, I mean, of course, when it came to me, I, you know,

03:45I immediately accepted, because it was something that was such a cool concept in my mind.

03:50Um, my father is more excited than anyone.

03:54You know, this, this is the kind of lifestyle that I think he would live every day if he could.

03:59Um, simple living, minimalism, that's exactly how he likes to live his life and lead his life.

04:06Uh, so he's more than happy.

04:07And I think, you know, the things that he propagates in life,

04:10I'm going to be able to relate to him much more when I'm back after going through this experience.

04:14Um, and when it comes to my brother, till date, he asks me,

04:19are you sure you want to do this?

04:21Because he knows the kind of life I live and the type of person I am.

04:24Um, but I think I'm going to surprise him.

04:28And it's, it's going to be, I think he's going to be proud of me.

04:36How can you script any of this?

04:43You know what I mean?

04:43I mean, you're taking these urban contestants,

04:46throwing them into this rural area that they've never experienced in life,

04:50doing these crazy tasks that they would have never thought of doing.

04:54Um, those reactions are going to be as real and as authentic as possible.

04:58I don't think, you know, this is something that you can fake.

05:01Um, and I think audiences see through that.

05:03They understand when someone's trying to portray something that they're really not,

05:09or, you know, those things are easy to read these days.

05:11And I think audiences have become a lot smarter today.

05:14So I think the authenticness and the genuineness of the show

05:18is what's going to make it a big success.

05:20Uh, talking about the show,

05:22did you discuss it with your best friends also like Disha?

05:24So what was their reaction?

05:26I actually haven't spoken to her about it yet.

05:28Um, I haven't spoken to anyone about it yet.

05:30Um, you know, I just,

05:32this is something that I kind of wanted to just keep with myself

05:35and surprise people a little bit

05:37and get their reactions when it's all over and done.

05:45I just want to say thank you so much.

05:46Um, my supporters have been everything to me.

05:50Um, I think the little,

05:52the little bit of following that I've been able to garner

05:55is just because I've stayed as true and authentic to myself

05:58and to all of you as I can and as possible.

06:02And I think through the reality space,

06:04you get to see so many new layers and new aspects of who I am.

06:07And that'll hopefully make you continue to,

06:10you know, connect with me, uh,

06:12and relate to me even further.

06:14And everything we do,

06:16not just me, but all of us,

06:17is for your appreciation and for that support.

06:21So, uh, enjoy the journey.

06:22It's going to be a crazy one.

06:24And I promise to entertain all of you as much as I can.
