00:00I remember, I used to go for auditions
00:02and I used to think
00:04that until I crack an audition
00:06I
00:08I won't see any beach
00:10I used to cross Juhu beach and Bombay
00:12is like
00:14right next to the ocean and I won't see it
00:16I used to go like this, by auto
00:18But my first question to you was
00:20Will you make roti?
00:22Yes, I will make roti
00:24In fact, I am proud of rotis by the way
00:26You know
00:28Raghu, Raghu Raji
00:30are one of my closest friends by the way
00:32I came to Mumbai for the first time
00:34I used to do radio show
00:36I used to do a TV serial
00:38and MTV
00:40and I used to sleep in the car
00:42I didn't sleep
00:44I got a driver only because I could sleep
00:46So I used to sleep for 3 hours
00:48I had an office in Parel
00:50I used to sleep for 3 hours
00:52I used to work like a horse
00:54I remember, I used to go for auditions
00:56and I thought that until my audition
00:58doesn't crack
01:00I won't see any beach
01:02I used to cross Juhu beach
01:04and Bombay is like
01:06right next to the ocean and I won't see it
01:08I used to go like this, by auto
01:10When I got my first contract in my hand
01:12as a radio presenter
01:14then I went to Juhu beach
01:16and I opened my arms
01:18and I was like, I have arrived
01:20I have conquered this world
01:22So you manifest your energy and you just
01:24think about a particular thing and you achieve it finally
01:26Where would you like to see yourself at the age of 50
01:28or the age of 60?
01:30I am not saying career, what do you want man?
01:32What do you want? Do you want to get up
01:34in a big house?
01:36I am not very materialistic as a person
01:38My entire focus
01:40is on just happiness
01:42Your internal happiness, your inner peace
01:44and it has to be
01:46a correct balance between contentment
01:48and ambition. So I started as a radio
01:50presenter, became an anchor
01:52but my eventual goal was to
01:54be an actor. I think success is when
01:56preparation meets opportunity
01:58and there is no dearth of opportunity in Mumbai
02:00You should be well prepared. So I was really well prepared
02:02I have been doing theatre since childhood, music since childhood
02:04and
02:06I was at the right place at the right time
02:08Can you explain that more? Right place, right time
02:10I am glad I am born in this era
02:12If I would have been born 10 years earlier
02:14in the early 2000s, if I would have been struggling
02:16then maybe I wouldn't have got the chance
02:18because the industry was a little closed
02:20One closed group
02:22No, it's not like that
02:24Opportunities have increased for everyone
02:26It is open to all
02:28If you have talent, there is no lack of
02:30opportunities and you give
02:32auditions, you are there
02:34So it's for everyone, not just for actors
02:36but also for producers, new directors
02:38any artists
02:40This is the best era to be an artist
02:42My question to you is again for the young guys out there who are thinking about marriage
02:44How do you become a great husband?
02:46What do you do? Because you see a lot of guys crying
02:48about their marriages
02:50Listen, nobody is a great husband
