Chai with Runjhun Shukla (Though by the time we
managed to convince her, the chai was cold)
Reporter: What were your first impressions of
Guddu? Why and how did they change?
Guddu: I think this reporter doesn't watch our
show.
Runjhun: Guddu Ji, this is my interview.
Guddu: I don't think you should do the
interview. The reporter made us fight the last time.
Runjhun: *ignoring Guddu* I thought Guddu was a
thug in all the true sense. Someone who didn't care what he did, or who he did
it too. Someone who was good for nothing, and loved troubling people, and
harassing them, for no reason.
Guddu: What do you mean for no reason? You put
me in jail. Might I remind you twice?
Runjhun: *shakes her head and ignores Guddu*
After I married him, or rather after he tricked me into marrying him I realized
that there was more to him. Then slowly I realized how caring and gentle he can
be. Like the time he ran with the kid all the way to the hospital.
Guddu: *smiles*
Reporter: How would you best describe Runjhun?
Runjhun: I think Runjhun is best described as a
simple person, who prefers simple things in life, like a loving family, a
loving husband, a nice place to call home, nothing else much.
Guddu: See you forgot stubborn too. Also she can
be annoying with her demands and not to mention always believing in her aunts
and uncles.
Runjhun: I have to be stubborn because you're
stubborn. So it's your fault. Besides I don't always believe them. You believed
in them once too.
Guddu: Can we not bring up the calendar issue? Next
question.
Reporter: *coughs* Well, uh if you could change
one thing about Runjhun what would it be?
Guddu: She's too gullible...and not to mention
stubborn.
Runjhun: *hitting Guddu on his arm* Am I doing
this interview or do you plan on answering my questions for me as well?
Guddu: It's true.
Runjhun: Fine. I'm not saying anything. You can
do all the talking. *crosses her arms in front of her*
Guddu: Okay answer the question.
Runjhun: *hands still crossed in front of her*
Guddu: I'm sorry. You can talk. *sighs then
whispers* Stubborn!
Reporter: How about we move to the next
question? What is your most memorable moment in Bhagonwali till today?
Guddu: *grins and looks at Runjhun*
Runjhun: *blushes* Um...Well...let me think...I was
very happy when I tricked...er...got Gudduji to agree to open his mobile center
and we worked together to get the center ready in time.
Guddu: Excuse me, dharampatni? Guddu Shukla was
not tricked. I agreed to that mobile center on my own. I won that
challenge. *mutters to himself * Tricked! Guddu Shukla doesn't fall for
anybody's tricks.
Runjhun: *smiles* You are right, Gudduji.
You decided that on your own. You never even gave up when the owner of
India Mobile told you to open the shop within 24 hrs.
Guddu: *narrows eyes at Runjhun then turns to
the reporter* That reminds me I had another favorite moment I didn't add. One
where it wasn't raining, it was when I wooed Runjhun with my favorite song Tere
Mast Mast Do Nain.
Runjhun: When did you woo me with that song?
Guddu: Don't you remember? You had that
purple sari on. I bought flowers...there...
Reporter: *has a coughing fit*
Guddu: What is wrong with you?
Reporter: *coughs* Uh I was just... I mean it
would be a dream come true for the viewers to see you guys dancing on
the song Tere Mast Mast Do Nain. I think that would truly be a favorite
moment if it did happen.
Guddu: *laughs nervously* Yeah *bites his
tongue* Good catch reporter.
Runjhun: *confused look*
Guddu: I was just making sure the reporter
really watches our show.
Reporter: *Ahem* What's the craziest thing you've
done?
Guddu: How come I didn't get asked that question?
Runjhun: Because you're always doing crazy
things. It's normal for you. Right? *looks at reporter*
Reporter: *looks at Guddu and swallows nervously*
I'll stick to asking the questions.
Runjhun: Well I think the craziest thing I did
would be to run after a train and yell "I love you" in front of the world like
that. I mean that whole day was crazy with the chasing and running and I almost
felt like I should be in my own stunt movie. But I think the screaming was the
craziest part.
Guddu: You should do it again. I'll get a train
and we'll pretend I'm leaving...
Runjhun: You know maybe it will be good if you
leave...maybe now.
Guddu: *frowns* Fine. Besides that's not the
craziest thing Runjhun has done.
Runjhun: It's not?
Guddu: Runjhun got drunk on Bhaang this one
time. She doesn't even remember what all she did. I means she was dancing with
this strange drunk man...
Runjhun: *interrupting* I was not! *looks
scandalized* Was I really?
Guddu: *laughing* My lips are sealed...let's just
say Runjhun was pretty crazy that day, and night.
Runjhun: Gudduji!
Guddu: Next Question!
Reporter: Right. Uh...*looking at her notes* What
profession or career would you have chosen if you had a choice?
Runjhun: Hmm...I've never thought about it because
I was so caught up in helping at the house, but...
Guddu: I think you could be a good cook. You
make the best Palak Paneer.
Runjhun: You're saying that because you want me
to cook for you 24/7.
Guddu: Well if you don't cook, how will I feed
you?
Runjhun: *shakes her head* Well I think I
would like to be in a profession where I can help people. Sometimes
people do not know how wrongly they are behaving, and I can help them correct
their habits.
Guddu: *falls of his chair laughing*
Runjhun: *points to Guddu* See what I mean? Why
are you laughing? You're the one who said I should open up an advice center.
Have all the people in the world come see me. I think I can give the Aghori
Baba a run for his money don't you think?
Guddu: *still laughing* Baba Runjhun ki Jai!
*Runjhun whacks Guddu*
Reporter: Okay then... next question. Who are your
reel life and real life role models?
Runjhun: My real life role model is my Amma.
*smiles* Some say that I am like her shadow. She's always given me
direction in my life. I don't really have a reel life role model though I
do like Radha's character in Mother India.
Guddu: You forgot Sati Savitri. Also what about
me? I thought I would be your role model, too.
Runjhun: *silence*
Guddu: What? I'm awesome! Just
ask Kukkan.
Runjhun: *laughs*
Reporter: So what is an ideal day for Runjhun?
Runjhun: A day without spending time with Guddu
would be nice.
Guddu: What? *nearly falls off his chair*
Runjhun: Did I say that out loud? I'm just
teasing Guddu Ji.
Guddu: Yeah, whatever. *grumpily* I'm sure your
ideal day is working from sun up to sun down, bottling perfumes in bottle,
cooking meals for three families, putting linings on saris and polishing shoes
and vessels.
Runjhun: Don't be grumpy. I was really teasing.
My ideal day is getting up in the morning and seeing Gudduji's sleeping face,
then cooking breakfast for Gudduji and waiting at the doorstep seeing him off
while he teases me. Then waiting all day for him to return and see his smiling
face when he greets me. To quote my husband's favorite song *sings* Tujhse
shuru huyi, tujhpe hi khatam ho...Duniya meri, duniya duniya meri ( My world
starts and ends with you)
Guddu: *hugs Runjhun* Dharampatni, that's so
sweet. *looks into Runjhun's eyes*
*Reporter clears throat*
Guddu: Why are you still here?
Runjhun: Gudduji! *Pushes Guddu away*
Reporter: I still have a few more
questions.
Guddu: *Sighs* fine fine...I still think you ask
too many questions. You know if you just watched the show properly you'd know
the answers.
Reporter: What has been the proudest or the most memorable moment for you so
far?
Runjhun: When Gudduji was given the IM
center dealership rights, was my most proud moment. My most memorable was when
Gudduji first confessed his love for me.
Guddu: Aww...yeah that was a proud moment for me
too. You're so sweet. I did pretty well with the confession too. I was pretty
romantic.
Runjhun: Well...
Guddu: What? You just said it was your most
memorable moment...
Runjhun: Well it is also hard to forget the fact
that I was kind of leaning backward the whole time. It was an uncomfortable
position. You could have held me upright.
Guddu: You're heavy.
Runjhun: I'm not heavy. Stop saying that.
Reporter: Okay the next question. What is the
hardest lesson you've had to learn or the hardest obstacle you've had to face?
Do you have any fears you've had to overcome or wish to overcome?
Runjhun: Hardest obstacle I had to overcome was
the doubt my aunts planted for my Gudduji. I almost lost Gudduji forever
because I doubted him. My greatest fear is to lose Gudduji or my Amma. If
either of them are hurt, I don't know what I will do. *gets emotional*
Guddu: Oye, Dharampatni! Did you forget
about Dabangg Guddu Shukla and his awesomeness? I won't let anyone or
anything hurt Amma. As for me, you're bhagonwali, remember. Besides we did that
whole Shiv thing during the eclipse, I had to carry you then too, with that
added water pail.
Reporter: Yes we measured the weight of Runjhun
and the utensil of water.
Runjhun; You did what?
Reporter: *clearing throat* I meant we counted
the effort both of you put in. So...uh next question...what's your favorite dish?
Runjhun: I love it when Gudduji cooks for me. So
anything he makes is good. I still remember when he made the tonic for me.
Guddu: Yes, I know how to take care of my wife.
Runjhun: Even though he leaves the kitchen in a
mess afterwards.
Guddu: Cooking is hard.
Runjhun: I think so far I've eaten Puris, Curry,
Malpua...with the orange juice... if you count he can cook a full course meal with
dessert and then even tonic afterwards in case I get an upset stomach from his
cooking.
Guddu: What?
Runjhun: *laughs* I'm teasing...in case you've not
realized my husband is also very sensitive. A character trait he forgot to
mention in his interview.
Guddu: I'm not *crosses his arms and pouts*
Reporter: What were you like as a child?
Runjhun: Oh as a child I was very naughty. I was
very outgoing, talked a mile a minute, and loved dancing.
Reporter: *shocked*
Guddu: *shocked* I know about the dancing but
the rest...I think I married the wrong Runjhun...
Runjhun: Be quiet...you also said that you were
the best behaved kid...and look at you now...
Guddu: I'm still awesome.
Reporter: If you had the power to do anything in
the world, what would you do?
Guddu: See I told you this reporter doesn't
watch the show. Probably just catches five minute recaps. Did you not see the
day Runjhun came to stop me at the station? She fought her three aunts, a grown
up man, she ran all the way almost on foot, then she escaped from a hole in the
wall...she has the power to do anything.
Runjhun: Don't listen to him. I think if I had
the power I'd try to end suffering and greed from the world.
Guddu: I hope your first targets are your aunts
and uncles, they are plenty greedy and cause a lot of suffering.
Reports: *ahem* Our final question. Have you had
any kind of interactions in real life with fans? How would you react to meeting
with your fans?
Runjhun: I have fans too? I thought only Gudduji
had fans.
Guddu: *narrows eyes* Yeah, what do mean Runjhun
has fans? Who are they? What is their address? *mutters angrily*
Reporter: Oh well there are many fans of
Runjhun's... Let's see one is A...
Guddu: Abhigyaan Dixit!! That Teacher's Day!! I'll
kill him!! Who does he think he is? Trying to meet with my Runjhun.
Reporter: Wait, what, no that's not what I was
saying...
Runjhun: Gudduji! What are you saying, where did
Abhigyaanji come from?
Guddu: Abhigyaan Ji? He became ji
again? I thought we corrected this the last time...I'm going to go call Kukkan
and see if he ever found Teacher's Day's address.
Reporter: Wait Gudduji before you go, one more
question for both of you.
Guddu: I thought you said that was your last
question.
Reporter: Well it's not really a question, but
we've seen you dance with Runjhun. There was the episode where Runjhun was
drunk and then the sangeet you both looked so nice together dancing.
Guddu: *calm now* Yes those were really fun.
Reporter: We would love to see you both dance on
the show again, and were wondering when we'd get to see Guddu's crazy...I mean
Guddu's great moves with Runjhun.
Guddu: We can show you right now. *grabs
Runjhun* (In case you're wondering, this awesome reporter came prepared with a
radio as well)
Runjhun: *protesting but joining in*
*Guddu and Runjhun dancing*
Reporter: *sigh* Signing off...time to enjoy watching
Guddu and Runjhun (yes this reporter carried popcorn too)
