- for kpc ' What was the best and worst response?
Responses so far have not been bad. It has been getting all the
praise. Ankita Lokhande My friend had the best response. she said I've
known you for so many years and in pr' two and a half years I have
worked with u . Neither,did I see Sushant or watching a film and not
manav. Went forshow with ymy friends. After the film the whistles and
applause of the audience was encouraging. The experience is unique. You
said Irfan response. People are happy to join hands .
- From the beginning were u confident that it would be appreciate more feedback?
I
believed in the picture . Construction of a pure effort brought it
here. Berlin's first reaction was positive. We were waiting for audience
response. So to tell the truth before kpc good work of the first
movies I was offered 5-6 films as single hero. I was preparing to
attend the t New York. , even though I did not say yes to a film. After
reading the script of this film audition and was praying that I get
chosen for . It was believed that the story of three friends will
connect with the audience.
In the promotion of the film and the promo u
were not presented not as a hero, but after seeing the film the hero
was assigned to u by the audience. Did this happen or u guys believed
it tooIn Hindi movies in which the lead character
dies, he is assumed to be the hero. The concept was not the only thing
that their will be a hero and two friends. Their is no a star Abhishek
Kapoor. was clear that their will bethree newcomers with no
pre-image that is not theirs. The three friends were trying to connect
with the viewer. The same thing happened, but people gave me a little
love.

-So when u came to mumbai wasnot it ur dream to act in movies and films ?
Well
no i hadnot planned my career when i got prime time show everyone
suggested i take it up as it will be good but after 2 years i felt i was
not learning anything and just earning money so quit pr and that time
made short film ignored decibel i tried for a film making course in UCLA
and got admission their and was planning to go their when i quit tv i
got offer for films but i was firm on my decision at that time itself i
met mukesh chaabra he gave me script of kpc and called to audition and
after 7 yrs for first time i gave an audition
- Then what happened?
Well
after i was chosen my director Abhishek kapoor said tat u need to lose
weight i was 87 then and doing tv had become lazy but i worked hard for 6
weeks before shooting began and lost all excess weight and made myself
fit
Tell us what happened before shooting began
Well
before shooting began we had done workshops all 3 of us never tried to
supress each other infact gattu even asked us whether we knew eachother
before and was suprised to know that we didnt knew each other
.
-
Was their ever happened to be fear or insecurity that the movie could
not even realize what will happen? We know that despite all the movies
sometimes gets stuck?
0 I just kept praying that
everything runs fine. well i am introvert less spoken and shy where as
in movie i am completely different i had this passion that i will get to
do something new in movie but still till AK didnt say action their was
this unknown fear.
- Who was first person to know about u bagging role?
Well
i was sitting next to Ankita when i recieved call so she was first
person to know this then i called my eldest sister up she has always
encouraged and supported me and has helped me finanacially too
- How many brothers - sisters? Tell us about the family?
I
have 4 elder sister and i am youngest .My first sister is a doctor
based in chandigarh she is married to an ips officer .Second one is an
local cricket player and now she plays golf.Third one is a criminal
lawyer in supreme court .fourth one is also working .My dad name is KK
singh .I have based ishaan character on mitu di and asked her to see
herself in me she called me within 10 mins and she could identify
herself
What is common in mitu di and ishaan?
It
is not neccessary that talent gets a platform at right time it happened
same to her .Ishaan is very impulsive from top he might look
insensitive and illmannered but he is very touchy and sensitive from
inside he isinsecure but pure and loyal.
This all was shown in film and ishaan pushes ali?
WELL ISHAAN ANGER IS NOT TOWARDS ALI BUT SYSTEM HE FELT IMMEDIATELY that he shouldnot have pushed ali and apologises
Is mitu and Sushant relation similar to vidya and ishaan?my
relation with mitu di is similar to ishaan and ali .Mitu di taught me
how to ride a bike and car .watever good i have learnt or do is all
taught by her .I was same age as ali when mitu di taught me all this
Ur dad name is singh and u write rajput ahead of ur name is their any reason?My
dad name has singh and my mom used to write rajput ahead of her name so
i took singh from my dad and rajput from mom.I am from patna itself was
very young when mom expired i have stayed in delhi for long( he was in
12 th as per his prev int but this one says he was just 12 but he had
said she expired in 2002 so guess it got lost in translation).
Their are few actors from north india esp UP and bihar industry doesnt seem to welcome them have u faced any such rejection?
I
never met with resistance. Discrimination is normal. it is in Our
society and in the world. It's human nature. i Have confidence in
myself . It was not like one morning i woke up from sleep and wanted to
be an actor. I have six years of methodical training. How do you sort
then . The judge is the largest audience. They are paying to watch the
movies. So After watching the film when they shake hands and when
they become emotional. that is biggest acceptance for me. For me it is a
process. Dance, theater, television and film ... All - became one. I am
just learning. I do not consider myself the star
What are u doing to stay away from becoming arrogant?
I think people can read u.I dont hide the
truth .I am yet not on facebook or twitter whatever people appreciate i
keep it in my heart dont let it go on head . i am not attracted by
money and fame
What is ur relationship status?
I
met Ankita on set of pavitra rishta we became friends and are friends
even today .i stay with her .Marriage will happen when it has to i have
not thought about it yet . i dont want to leave honesty and hardwork
whatever i have learnt from nadira babaar and barry john i am compiling
that and trying to learn new things too.
