00:05Umm...
00:06It's a good thing that people feel that a movie is going on.
00:15Because, what happens is that, whether you're writing a story or story of life,
00:26Whenever there is a struggle and there is a story of struggles
00:32then it is always inspiring.
00:37The struggles of our life, mine, of my family, of Anubhai, of Ranjitbhai,
00:44of my younger brother Nikhil Kapoor, of my mother and father.
00:48So this struggle in itself is a...
00:58By the way, everyone struggles in this world.
01:01Everyone struggles in their own way in their life.
01:05But facing those struggles is a little different for everyone.
01:11So, if I have written my life in a story,
01:27then it is a good thing that it is happening like a film.
01:31It means, as it is called in Urdu, manzar kashi.
01:35That whatever line you draw for any scene,
01:45that scene should be beautiful.
01:48Even if it is a story of struggle,
01:51but if people feel that it is like a film,
01:56then it is a good thing for me.
01:58Why did you write your life in a story?
02:03There are two or three reasons why I had to write.
02:07One was that I used to keep all the sorrows inside me.
02:14I never shared those sorrows with people
02:19because I don't believe in sharing my sorrows and hurting others.
02:25But when you have problems inside you,
02:30then they find a way out.
02:35Otherwise, you get into trouble.
02:39You get into trouble physically
02:41if you suppress any emotions.
02:45So I felt that she needs an outlet,
02:49she needs a way out.
02:51So that is why I started writing.
02:54I have a profession of writing
02:57because I used to write serials, films, stories.
03:01Sometimes I also write poems.
03:04So this is how I started.
03:08Then I felt that the ups and downs in my life,
03:15the challenges, the struggles,
03:18the challenges that have come,
03:20and being a woman,
03:23the challenges double up.
03:27So facing those challenges
03:30and coming out of those challenges
03:34can be an inspiration for another woman,
03:38for another girl.
03:41And it can also be a way for them
03:45not to be afraid of challenges.
03:48Challenges come in people's lives.
03:50For example, when I read the biography of many great writers,
03:59I got inspiration from them.
04:01Similarly, someone may get a small inspiration from my life.
04:06Divorce is not a pleasant thing for any woman.
04:18I have said before that I did not want a divorce.
04:25And we have had a very long and deep relationship.
04:31We have been friends and lovers for 11 years.
04:37After that we got married.
04:39After marriage, in one and a half years,
04:42another woman came into his life.
04:46So in whatever circumstances,
04:52in whatever pressure,
04:54she wanted to marry Puri Sahab.
04:58And Puri Sahab had an affair with her.
05:01So what happens in that is,
05:04a person always suffers a loss.
05:10It was me who had to bear the loss.
05:14Because all my circumstances were such that
05:18first of all, I do not fight in that way.
05:23And I do not believe in that kind of fight
05:28that you can snatch away your love from someone.
05:33And I was pregnant at that time.
05:42Because of this, I felt that
05:44living in this house,
05:47living in Puri Sahab's house,
05:52is becoming a cause of mental distress.
05:58Because Nandita used to call me there.
06:02Puri Sahab used to talk in front of me.
06:04So I used to feel very hurt.
06:06And all the circumstances became such that
06:09I had to decide that I should leave from here.
06:15The secret is the secret of life.
06:22Life is our secret.
06:24See, what is the mystery?
06:27Life itself is a strange mystery.
06:29How are we born?
06:31Then how do we live?
06:33Every story keeps on being told.
06:35The Lord, God, keeps on showing you the way.
06:41He brings challenges in front of you.
06:45So the secret is nothing but life.
06:48Now in that, what is there and what is not there,
06:53that is there.
06:55Only by reading that book,
06:57you will know what secrets are revealed.
07:00And because what happens is
07:04the woman in our society,
07:08in the whole world,
07:10as I said earlier,
07:12her challenges are very different.
07:14And then when a woman gets divorced,
07:20then the society,
07:22when I got divorced,
07:24I am talking about that time.
07:26Now the circumstances have changed a lot.
07:28Now divorce is not considered
07:31as a kind of stigma and stigma.
07:34At that time,
07:37my mother also used to hide
07:41that why I am living there.
07:43People used to ask,
07:45why has Seema come?
07:47So she used to make excuses that
07:49we have gone out for shooting,
07:51we are shooting in a very interior village, etc.
07:54So it used to be very stressful for us.
07:58We had to hide from people,
08:00we had to avoid those questions.
08:02So,
08:04but there were not only these social challenges.
08:07After that, the male-dominated society,
08:10they want to exploit you.
08:14Because you have become alone.
08:16Now they think that
08:20now it will be easily available.
08:22Whereas,
08:24what happens is that
08:26when a woman
08:28is sad
08:30due to her love,
08:32due to her broken marriage,
08:34then she does not need anything else.
08:37She just needs respect and love.
08:39From her friends,
08:41her friends, her acquaintances.
08:43Instead,
08:45she should be considered as a commodity
08:47that now it is available.
08:49It is easily available.
08:51So, I had to face those challenges.
08:53And there were a lot of such people among them,
08:56who were
08:58very
09:00directors at that time,
09:02with whom I went to ask for work.
09:04So,
09:34helplessness used to be that
09:36now even if you ask for work,
09:38you feel ashamed because
09:40you will be seen from a different perspective.
09:42So, these challenges,
09:44I had to face.
