Yeah, professional goals too, definitely. I want to, you know, spread my wings as far as possible. It's a real thing. Yeah, so how many girlfriends you had, if you don't mind answering that? Doso beast together. I'm not a miss. What do you think about this recent animal controversy? What are your thoughts? Would you like to sign a movie like Animal and Kabir Singh? Yeah, I see. It's a tricky question now and I watch Bo biceps a lot. Same. Yeah, right.
Anything else you want me to ask, We'll cut this one. Hello everyone. Welcome and welcome back to the Aztek Show. I'm your very own host Shruti Sinha. And today we have actor Sooraj Shekame with us. Hi, Sooraj. Hello. So since you're an actor, choreographer, and you do a lot of stuff, but you want to be called as an actor, like that is your main stuff what you do. I want to be called as an artist. I mean, I am called as an artist. It includes everything. Yeah, Actor, writer.
It also means artist like. Is a part of an artist. There are many artists, you know, there are musical artists, many, many type of artists. So yeah. So like, why did you choose acting as a career? Like don't you feel that there is a little bit of risk in it? Risk in what sense? If you don't make it to the industry, you made it to the industry. But some people who don't make it to the. Industry, of course. Definitely there is, but this is what. You have to do research about
your character. Yeah, a lot. I mean, we have to practice our craft. We have to read a lot. We have to be observant every time. But this, it's again about liking, you know, Genco scientist banna hota hai. And there are many, you know, obvious things about this field. Just a glamour. Ogia, Leisure, Leisure one. Of the reasons why you chose to. It was a very important driving reason for me when I decided I was 15 or 16 years old.
Yeah. So for me it was of course, glamour to Tahita Ki. I want to be known. I want to be, you know, loved by people the way other actors are. Jenny De Kima, Baraoa. So that was one of the important reasons. But eventually, as I started doing it, as I started working in, you know, the theatres, shows, stage shows and films, web series, so I discovered acting what it actually is. So it acting in itself is a very fun process. So I fell in love with that eventually. But.
When you chose, I'll do this. Then my every plan was inclined towards Plan A. So MATLAB I used to even after extraction. You know after that big break, I used to work in nightclubs I I worked in call centers. But I did that just for my sustainance. Ki Mujabataki. I'm going to be working on sets soon. Shoot Karuna member Jelly JAB Tak Nihora Tak for my financial sustain. That was like optimism, sort of. Yeah, definitely. It was optimism and Matlab. I'd never thought of it as a
career. If not this, then this survival I can do about anything. I have good command over my language. There are many things which I can do without a degree also and I can excel in it eventually. But acting. So there was no Plan B. What I feel is Plan B, who you take a back seat. You take that plan A very. Lightly, Lightly.
Not exactly lightly. But you also have that Plan B in your mind When you don't have that, so that you know, pushes you, drives you and gets most out of you, you're going to go back in Pune. And that's, that's what I had in my mind. So luckily it worked out. So yeah. One question that that is like I think everybody wants to know OK, Bollywood may like how a girl stuff like did you like like someone Dharani kebab. In the film industry, are you asking?
No, but like you had something. Of course. I mean, yeah. So how many girlfriends you had, if you don't mind answering that? Doso beast together. I'm not a misogynist, OK? I was just yeah, so I don't remember as such. Or I don't want to number and objectify them. But yeah, I've had my. Experience even girls have had may have lot of boyfriends in their past. Yeah. Number, number that it'll be. Again, I won't like that, but I've had my fair share of.
I will also be having be coffee young. Yeah, obviously. Of course, not having having incense. I mean, I have been, you know, I've known people. I've gotten to know lovely people in my life, in my past. And yeah, I'm happy with that. And I will continue to do so until I found Find My. The one, The one. Were there times when you felt key? Like when you were not happy. Like heart breaks. Hi, it's Pat. I have been heartbroken once once, which I remember of maybe
twice. I'm not sure of the second one. So I had one recently, some 5-6 months ago, and then I guess I was 1718. I'm not sure exactly. I'm not sure Ki wo heartbreak Thayani because I mean, I'm not sure. Feelings. Can be confusing. Yeah, yeah, they can be confusing, right? Yeah, there's a lot of you had your. First heartbreak, You said 1718. I'm not sure if it was my heartbreak or not. That's what I'm saying. It might be then it might be my first heartbreak. But yeah, I think I consider
this recent one my first. But again, sometimes I go, you know, track back and think that maybe it was that. So I'm not really sure actually, heartbreak. I think this was the one. But yeah, your heart gets broken when you are in love, right? So I'm just confused with that, that how many times I've been in love. I've been in love once, definitely. That I know for sure, but just before that I have a blurred vision of it. So Tanakuch, so Chani Minoski. But yeah, so I understand the case.
Open to like dating people outside volleyball like normal girls. Yeah, definitely. I mean, it doesn't matter to me that she should be from the film industry. But you are from the film industry, right? So you might have like certain expectations. She should be able to do this, this, this. That doesn't need, you know, there's no need for her to be from the film industry.
Like what? The boxes I have to take in my girl, you know, if I want to be with someone, she doesn't have to be from film industry to fulfill those boxes. She can be working in a corporate, she can be doing something else. She can be part of the industry. It it doesn't have to be. It is not related to her profession at all. She can be from the industry. Like, yeah, if she will be from the industry, she will understand. You know my side of the world better. That is what?
I'm saying yeah, but even if she does not, I think it's my not job. But I would like to, you know, I feel that it's it should be me who should be, you know, letting her know about my world, explaining my world to her, getting her into my world. And I expect the same from her. You know, we should understand each other's words and then we should try to live together. That can be done. I mean, it's not that difficult. I don't see it. Like you live in Mumbai, right? So.
How is Mumbai life like recently our not recently last year our CEO went to some function in Mumbai, I guess Tedex and he was very fascinated by the lifestyle there. So since you live there, so Akili to Dal chawal sort of hair. Hi Anne. I mean, I prefer Bhubaneshwar, honestly. Like I love Bhubaneshwar because yeah, it gives the city vibes as well, which I like, and it has at peace as well. So I'm originally from Pune. So in Pune, if you ask me, it
has best of the both worlds. It has good atmosphere, climate, not that much of A pollution, not that much of, you know, people population. It can be, you know, it can be as fast and PC as Mumbai also and it can be as relaxed as any other town of India. It gives that wives and it's cool, very cool at this time point of time. So yeah, it's like that. So Mumbai, for me it's a bit challenging to be in Mumbai because A traffic then B
pollution then C the atmosphere. But again that place is feeding me. So I have. I don't have much complaints but. Is it also because the life is so fast then? It's very fast. It's you. You can't even tell when the day passes, the night comes. You can't figure out because you get tired this easily that you go to sleep by 10/10/30 at Mumbai 10. 30. Yeah, it's a very good thing that you get to bed because you don't have any energy left. You have to travel, You have to
be in the traffic, that ruckus. All the things going on. You have to work. There are many things. Mumbai gets you tired, Mumbai keeps you on your toes, which is sometimes you need in life. Sometimes it can be thrilling as well. Yeah, definitely. It can be thrilled. MATLAB, it's not like thrilling, exactly. It's tiring most of the times, but when you have to get some kind of work done, Mumbai is the best place for that because it keeps you on your toes there.
Every everyone around you is running and it makes you feel like, what am I doing? I shouldn't be sitting around, I should be doing some stuff I. Should be doing something. Right, exactly. So you don't have that in other cities, like I don't know about Bhubaneswar, but I don't see much traffic around here. People seem more relaxed. You might know better. The traffic is there, but I don't think it it is. You can't compare it. Annoying as exactly. No, they just, you know, pick me
up from airport to my hotel. Yeah, it was like 2025 kilometers. The distance was they covered it in 30 minutes. It's nothing. We take 30 minutes for five kilometer distance for in Mumbai. So it's. So that's how the difference is. So since Mumbai is such a thrilling place and everything, have you done anything thrilling or like adventurous sort of there? What? What do you mean by adventurous now? See my adventure.
I have a 17 year old. My adventure is keeping tuitions, not telling my parents and coming here to shoot a podcast. OK, that is, I have done that. But your thrilling must be something different, basically. I mean, not much thrilling. Everyone in Mumbai pretty much does the same thing. They meet at someone's place, they party then or either they go out and party and work. That's pretty much it. Like there's nothing thrilling.
Thrilling in like school. But Mumbai may, I don't remember as such a coffee thrilling cheese have. Done something which you can tell on camera. Coffee. Cheese incidents Khana khana ke baat meri kuch dost Ek BAE PE hum teen. Look, we were just out there strolling. We skipped the city. We went from Pune to Satara, from Satara to somewhere else. We skipped an entire city and we you know drove around for like 4 or five hours.
So kilometre comes because we were young at that time also we were young who but I was 19 or something like that back then and I had time like lots of time on my hand. We were just like, so that was one of the things. How did you come? Back then, no promotion again. But. Bike bike. And their parents. Bachelors. Those merry parents are honestly, they're like to. But I've been independent since 1516, so I like it's okay, I told them. Independence since 1516. Yeah. What do you?
I mean, not exactly independent, but I've been working when I was 1516 Taapsee the. Industrial. Yeah, I used to dance. I used to do background dancing in Marathi industry in state shows, hamari, ape, ganpati, adayandi, kafi. But so shows me Sangeet's me. I used to choreograph. I used to do many, many things. I used to do theatre shows, so that's how I started earning and that's how I financially, you can say not completely get paid a lot, of course, yeah. But you could manage your own
finances. Yeah, yeah, I've I've been managing my own finances since then. Finances. Say I want to ask this question. We don't exactly manage our finances that efficiently. Take care. I'm a spendthrift. He's a spendthrift. OK, so how you used to manage your finance? I don't. Never ask me about managing so you What I meant by managing finances was I was taking care of my needs with. My I'm asking how do you spend like you save some part or nothing? I think of saving, I think I
will save. I try of saving, but I do all that in my mind. Same. I mean it's like when someone asks for money, I give it and I don't ask it back. I can't, I can't, so I can't ask for it back. I feel ashamed. I don't know why, Mary, but I feel a because I can't ask. You can't ask people. Most people will not. Give that back. That's true. That's true. But I mean movie. So even you can't save money, so it's. Not just. I'm sorry, I have to I'll have
to look. I mean my accountant does a little bit but he manages most of my earnings from my you know film division and all that feels but eventually mere pasi anir. So we'll spend. OK, what do you think about this recent animal controversy he bought recently? Parliament maybe about kisi and pini kaitiki I she she's a
woman. So she said that my daughter and her friends went to see the movie and they came out crying because there is so much of violence and hatred, the way he's treating Rashmika in the movie like his wife and in Kabhi Singh as well. So like, what are your thoughts? The daughter of that MP, was she underage or over age? She said she was in college, so I guess. I mean, yeah, so I don't know about Animal. I did not like that film much because it was very, very, very
violent, which was not needed. The conflict wasn't that strong for the reaction to be that strong. So other film case of Sadiqi Jata, I did not like it much. There were some scenes which were good. I'm talking about the film aspect right now. Cafe scenes, me, choreography, Achiti. The song choices were really good. Action was decent. Cinematography Cafe Achiti. But yeah, I mean the treatment that was given to the women in the film, it has been like that in Sandeep Reddy Wanga's film.
It's not a new thing. I mean in Kabhi Singh it was still bearable. It was still OK. And but in Animal, it was, yeah, it was taken to the next level. And I don't think it was needed to, like he needed to do it that much because every actress, like even if you watch the film, every part of the film has a woman in it and she has been, you know, treated as an object or maybe treated in a very ill way or bad way. It happens. It happens in societies. I'm not saying it does not
happen. It might be happening. And if you're putting that out on screen, it's fine. I mean, not exactly fine, but it's like it's part of the society. Because the director was justifying the same thing in an interview, saying if you can't hit your woman that's wrong, cuss words, then you are not in love. It's conditional then.
It might be from personal experience, we don't know that and it might be OK like if it is what it is for you, if it works for you and your partner, then we are no one to say have a say in it. But I don't think that's true and that should be the case. I mean violence, physical violence is not at all acceptable in any relationship, any at all. That's another thing. Yeah, but no physical violence physically. Violence, violence shouldn't be solution to anything.
If you talk about Kabir Singh now, Kabir Singh wasn't that violent. Yeah, the character was disturbed. The character was in too Gray to blackish shade. And if you personally ask me, I don't want to be Kabir Singh or I do not admire that character. But yet again, you can't say that, you know, do not watch this film because that film depicted a part of society which
prevails. There are people, there are couples like that and things are, you know, that's how the things are, even when I'm not justifying it. But that's how they have been violent with each other and they have been happy in that relationship. It depends upon them now if it's right or not, it's totally another debate, but it happens. It happens. And that's what he tried to depict in Kabir Singh or Arjun Reddy. Don't you think a lot of youth
is getting influenced by this? Because when Kabir Singh came out, we were in Class 8, I guess. So a lot of my friends were doing the stuff that Kabir Singh did in that movie that and made ice and all this, actually trying those stuff. So I think it influences a lot of young minds. Especially so again, it was an adult film you shouldn't have watched. That because we. All are underage.
So back in 80s and 90s, at that times you can say cinema was the only medium to influence a large scale of population in India and newspapers till a point. But cinema was, yeah, we could have, you know, held cinema responsible at that time because that's that was the most watched thing at that time. And people used to get influenced by that. But right now that's not the case. There's OTT, which is available to everyone.
There's YouTube. There's there are many, many things right now which are influencing, you know, people and is shaping every person right now. So you can't just hold a film accountable for that. I don't think so. But yeah, in some cases, like if you say animal then that is a bit extreme is what I feel is what my opinion is. I think that it's easily movies are like easily accessible to people.
So for you going to the theaters, booking the tickets, sitting in the film for continuously 3 hours, is that easily accessible or just getting up from your bed rolling over? Movies and Otts, right? Yeah, so when it comes to televisions, I'm pretty sure that they might be edited or cut down. The scenes might be cut down where it they're shown a harsh violence or something which is misogynistic, which is not accepted. I'm pretty sure they might be
trimmed down. If not, then that should That is the wrong thing, definitely. But on OTT, again, it is already written that the films are adulterated, then they should be. There should be parental control. And if you are adult enough to watch that film, then you are adult enough to make your own decisions, you know, think by your own self.
You are, you know, you know what to be influenced by and what not to be influenced by. But still, if we consider that these are the mediums to be influenced by, it's not just the one medium. I mean, if I stop you right now from watching the film on the OTT, you'll hear it from someone else that this happened in the film and it was so cool by his view. We can't stop that entire thing.
No, it is a part of society and we are just depicting what the part of society is. That is another debate that if it is right or wrong for me personally, Kabhi Singh, I don't want to be Kabhi Singh or I would would not like a Kabhi Singh around me. I did not like that character. People might have liked that character. I did not like that character. If you asked me if I was to suggest Preeti, I would have said leave him, move on. He did. He did a wrong thing to you.
But depicting that and putting it out in front of the audience is just letting people know that this is also a part of society. This also happens in the film this, this is, you know, this actually this is a part of society. I mean you can't expect director to make changes just to influence or according to that. Now if you asked about Animal, at the end, she leaves him, Rashmika leaves him and he's shown in that space where he is left with very less people or
nobody too close to him. So then the consequences are also shown in that film. Now again, I'm not justifying it, but whatever was shown in that film, the misogyny, the treatment to women, the violence, all those things, I personally found it very, very over traumatic and too much is a little bit, yeah, we are just showing it to the world.
That is how it happens consequence Kiwi would films would influence to saw film IR which is saying quit smoking awareness about rape awareness about you know women health influence create good movies put out good world or I understand key bad things are easily adaptable than good things log Jali secret to be cool and all those things but as I told cinema is not the only medium films Yeah animal Jessica Bollywood influence over there right situation Cindy as we are
getting older and our parents are getting older so we are not getting that culture with us no we are not hitting our wife or girlfriends we are not doing that because we are adapting we know what is right and what is wrong so that is also because of all the films and social. Media bringing to be Of course it does. It can like create a. Lot of bringing the self-awareness be bots are easy yeah but it's your choice what you do and definitely people
should be disciplined. People should be taught in school and many you know institutions and everything people they should always be taught that what is right and what is wrong. I mean not it is not just about the gender. You can't treat anyone like that. Koi tumari Jagini. Yeah, exactly. You can't read anyone like that. That's not at all acceptable. I mean, even to your kids, parents, or sometimes needed. But again, violence is never an answer for anything, regardless of any gender.
He's facing the consequences. He slapped the girl. Exactly. She left him and she came back. It happens. I have seen it with my eyes and people are still together. It is not healthy or what. It's not my debate exactly. Whatever happens, it's it's fine for them if it works for them. They both are OK. It is fine for them, but again, if you ask me, I wouldn't want to be part of such thing or I wouldn't do something like that. So it depends on person to person.
But again, violence in any way is not acceptable. In one of Aamir Khan's interview, he actually said that violence and sex are like 2 most very the most vulnerable emotions to evoke in the audience. So directors are very prone to using such kind of storyline or stuff. This is what he said. What do you think about? That it's true. It's definitely true. I mean there's nothing to say in it. It's it's true.
It happens in the industry. I won't name any films, but there have been films dismissive violence and then the other part is just vulgarity or sex. Where it is not needed in the script is Ke Binabi film Chalati. But why did they put it? Just because they want to pull an audience, pull in money and which is it is quite obvious why it is so like I don't have to explain it India my audience till the violence got the ticket.
It has some other effect on people, but sex and the feeling of that, you know, getting to see it on the big screen, it is a thing that in incites audience. And yeah, that's why such films are made. I mean there are OTT channels for that right now, an entire app dedicated to that. So that I don't, I mean I don't consider that as filmmaking. Wherever it is needed now there is this. There are many shows this Game of Thrones, there are other shows where it was needed.
It had its beauty, the vulgarity. It was not vulgarity. It had its beauty. So for that beauty, it had action and violence, both of it. But it was shown in such a way that it was necessary to show that, you know, the series would have dropped. You know, there would have been differences in it's what what should I say? Like people wouldn't have felt all the emotions properly, right? Right. So Jahaja accept and we agree. But OK, it's fine. It's fine.
Yeah, it's fine. But as as Aamir Khan said, it is absolutely true. Like when the films are not going to run, they insert these things, violence and vulgarity and then people make money through that and good scripts are also destroyed because of that because now the audience is becoming, you know, more mature and accepting good scripts due to OTT. But back then in 20/15/2012, at that time audience did not accept good scripts. There are many, many good scripts which did not work.
But commercial scripts, action films of actors who are just same person in different clothes, who do not, you know, yeah exactly who do not choose versatility as the virtue and those things. So such films have worked because of the mentality of the audience at that time. So as we are exposed to the western cinema, we are accepting good, good and good content, good story, good script, good performances. We are demanding that. Is there any podcast which is your favorite or you like
watching? And I watch Bo biceps a lot. Same. Yeah, right, It's. Awesome. His team is great. I mean muske kafi dekha. There are many, So I'm into a lot of sci-fi stuff and a lot of horror. Stuff. Yeah, kind of horror stuff. Yeah. Sarabjeet was there today. Yeah, So I watched his videos as well. Anika Mams videos as well. She was also there.
Abhijeet, Choudas podcasts. I watch such podcasts and podcasts based on Indian history, Indian mythology or like many people don't like that word mythology, but I don't remember what else it is called. But yeah, Indian history and everything that is related to spiritualism or something. Something like extraterrestrial stuff, aliens, aliens and all our universe. So all that stuff I like. But yeah, I prefer, I prefer. I'm more lean towards history or
mythology stuff. Coming to horror, but you met Sarbajit today, right? And is this something that you have ever experienced, Like slightly paranormal? If it's something abnormal, OK, OK, this is not supposed to happen. It has happened, yeah. Things have happened with me. But I always find, as Sarabjit says, I question it, You should question it. I question it and I and. Then. Exactly, and I find a way out of it and I justified by a logical thing. So there have been instances.
Like so many adventures, Ratko, Jaga and. Coffee are so. Have you ever experienced something like the Kulagaoki? OK. I've never experienced these things, Ratko firstly. Didn't. I I mean coffee experience Nikia. But I have a couple of experiences. Afternoon memo. But I again don't think that my friends around me, they were saying that it is all paranormal, like there's there's nothing explained there. There are some things which I also couldn't explain, so I just left it.
I did not think much about it. People say K ratko, everyone is asleep and there is come bikes and vehicles Kashore so the the Atmas are more active at that time. I have no clue. And you should have asked this to Sarabjit because I I don't believe in that. I have no clue. It's a it's a good source of entertainment. No disrespect to the paranormal activists and everyone, but for me, I don't believe. Do you? Paranormal stuff you don't believe? No.
OK, what has happened like? So you want me to tell the situation? Yeah, nothing Here with me and my friend. We were just so we all of us gathered at a place, at a friend's place. We were chilling and as we were leaving the room, all of us, me and my friend, so it was two of us.
I turned back to say something to her and when I turned back I saw just a handkerchief flying like this and falling on another place, going to another place but it was kept on an extension box so I thought electric shock circuit however something like that. But she did not hear the voice and she felt something move. And I also saw something move, but I did not stretch it out. I have no explanation to it right now, but I don't know. I mean what?
Was that place like it was someone's house? Yeah, it was a friend's house. It was a friend's room. It was a proper people lived. People used to live there. I. Don't know. There are places where people live, but other things also live there. So like, did the person who was living there, he or she was with you? Yeah. Yeah, he was. And he was also adding up to it. He was saying that. I. Was like, no, I was not buying into that. Do you believe in black magic?
I'm Bengali and many friends of mine accused me. Stereotype, OK. No, but W Bengal does have a lot of this stuff. It's just true. And northeastern areas also. So I have no problem saying if you say something like that, but do you believe in those stuff? I don't. I'm an agnostic in a way, not completely atheist, but I actually don't believe so. I believe people like if that person is close to me, he believes in something for him. I'll believe in that for his sake. I'll believe in that.
I'll I love the, you know, art that comes around both the things, the black magic also and the bhagwan Ki part puja and everything art. I mean the the way the murtis are made and the history behind it. You know, the folklores, the culture or where the temples are, the traditions and all those. I love that. I love to watch that, but if you ask me, I don't believe believe in anything strongly. What are the kind of books that you like read? Is it also around mythology or something like?
That I have, man, I have completed the Amish trilogy. It is beautiful. So the models of Melua, again, not a promotion, but yeah, I suggest those are very beautiful books and the storytelling is lovely. So I. The Ramachandra series. No, I haven't. I have to, yeah. I want to read that series, but I have read the Shiva trilogy. It's beautiful, it's lovely. I love that. Then I'm more into, so I'm a light reader. I'm not an avid reader, so I just, I just want to read
something, which is feel good. I'm starting right now. I might get into the deep stuff later on, but right now I'm just focused on, you know, having an escape from this world. Some kind of books, like a ROM, com, maybe fantasy, something which is very well written, very well told fiction mostly. So yeah, I'm into such kind of books right now. Since you don't believe in the paranormal stuff, do you believe in spirituality and God? No, not really.
I mean, I told you I'm an agnostic, so agnosticism is basically you're not sure you're confused. Not exactly confused, but you kind of feel that there is something superior. Are you open to like any theories or something like that which can make you believe Q? OK, this is yeah, this is all like. Yeah, I mean, if it can be proven to me, then why not? Why shouldn't I believe it? But again, my mind will start questioning it and put 10 logical things around it.
And I know that it won't be proven, but if some miracle happens in something or maybe, I don't know, I might start. So if you ask me if in future that will I be, you know, I do visit temples, I'm going to go for one tomorrow and I'm very excited. I'm excited to know Jagannath Puri, I'm going to Konak Sun Temple. So I'm excited about the place to know about its history, to see the artifacts and all those things. I'm. I'm excited. I'm very much interested. I told you right Indian
mythology. I'm interested in Mahabharata, Rama and I read about it. I know some things here and there. I'm very much interested. But I look at it as a folklore or something which was passed on by basically. Mythology. Mythology. Exactly. Yeah. So I don't believe, believe in it. It might have happened, you know, But I that it doesn't line up properly. There's no scientific explanation for me to believe in spiritualism or, you know, believing in God or demon or
something like that. You're thinking Nazar lagti, a logo Ki like when you were doing something really gold. Or you share stuff on Instagram, good stuff. And then suddenly it all. From hell. I did not believe in that, honestly. But we also, I do not believe it, believe in it much coffee problems. So I mean, I'm still not believing in it. It's just a mere coincidence. But I'm again. Have you taken some step key? OK, I'll not tell this to a lot of people if something good is
happening. Have you done that? Previously also I used to be the same. I used to tell people about what's up and what what am I doing. Not everyone close my clothes once and everything and it happened smoothly. It just might be the coincidence or just might be the current situation. That's why things are not working out. But I'm not going to link it directly to Nazar or anything else. Evila or something like that, no. A class question which I want to ask you.
What are your future goals like? Honestly, with. Yes, Oscar. Yeah, professional goals to definitely I want to, you know, spread my wings as far as possible. I want to experience. I want to work in many, many different regions of India. I want to go down South. Would you like to sign a movie like Animal and Kabir Singh? OK, Kabir Singh, I might. OK, Animal. I'll have to think, depending on how big the paycheck. Is given. Yeah, see, it's a tricky question.
Now again, if it has to be, you know, if I have to choose it completely on the artistic base, then I would not do animal exactly, which can just set my life. That is my interview, no. Movies commercial. Aspect. But again, it depends how much people look up. To me that's another thing, just fresher. Then if I do such a film then it's a different take. But if I'm someone like, Not exactly, but people get influenced a lot by me.
So then there's other responsibility on me that it will, you know decide or it will help me decide what to do and what not to. But again money speaks again. I got SC film hai, SC film bahar Aria coffee level problem, right? But Aria bhar to jitney bhar itni censor board has declared key. This is watchable audience they accept here. So then why shouldn't actors do it? Right. So yeah, your goals. What exactly have you like something set on your mind?
Ke Hamuji Yehi Kart Nahi. Set me go to Hoga. I'm pretty sure professionally I'm going to do various kinds of characters. I'm going to work in Malayalam industry, Tamil industry, Telugu. I love the South Indian industry and I watch a lot of films. I want to work again in Bengali, Bengali films. I want to win in Punjabi films. I want to work in Odia, Pan, India. I just want to try out good stuff and I want to work internationally again.
I just want to work and I just want to enjoy my craft. Then whatever recognition awards comes with it, it comes with it and not just. You're not after like a lot of awards or? Something not really. Want to do the work? Yeah, I just want to learn. I just want to work and I guess people will love it. Even if they don't, I will learn from it and I just want to put out my work professionally. I want that.
Personally, if you ask me, what is my goal in life, the main goal of life, all of this I'm doing is to be happy in my life and this is a major part, but it is not the main thing. Even if Kalko Bot was Salma Teen Chafil Mina Karo, I'm not a superstar. I'll be fine. I'm doing couple of shows, good characters, decent characters and I'm taking time out for my family. I'll be fine. But what I want to have is I want to have my family with me. I want to have my wife, my kids.
That's my goal. I want to explore the world and explore all sorts of ups and downs with my people around, my friends around, and I want to live in my that small world alongside doing these things. So it has to be a balance of both. But it's not like no I don't. Want to conquer the world. I don't want to conquer the world. I want to make a world for myself. So there's a difference in that. I mean, I'll be happy if that happens. If I reach to a certain level, I am.
I can say that I am on top of the world right now. But even if it does not happen, I'm I'm OK with. It your main goal is yeah, I live a peaceful and. Peaceful, happy life with my people and a good life of course. And for you, you just can't be around your family and people always 24/7. So it has to be that balance. So acting and work also gives me immense pleasure and immense happiness and so does by spending time with my people to in is in Chisoka validation.
Yeah, in Chisoko. Appreciate, right? So it should be balance. I'm doing this for them and myself and they're appreciating it for me and that work which I'm doing right now. So it should be a balance of it. But eventually I just want to be around my people and have fun, you know, explore the world, do many, many things, explore everything. That's that's more what I want.
