I think I got the film ‘Kesari Veer’ at the right time. While playing this role, I also knew about the depth of the subject. I knew how I had to feel and bring it to the screen and how many expressions were to be given, I also knew. So I can say this for the film that came at the right time. Had it come before, it would have been depth to play my character and that serious will not come. This is to say of Suraj Pancholi, which is coming in front of people through a film called ‘Kesari Veer’.
Sooraj had been involved in controversies even before coming to films. He has also gone to jail in the Jia Khan murder case. Although the court later acquitted him of this case, but he is still engaged in an attempt to bring life back on track.
During the promotion interview of Kesari Veer, Suraj says, I always wanted to play the role of a warrior. I had thought to leave myself by watching a lot of films. When Ranveer Singh did Bajirao Mastani, I decided on the same day that whenever I would get a chance that I can play a warrior, I will definitely do it. And I think I am lucky that my dream came true.
How was it to work with an artist like Sunil Shetty?
He has always been a big personality for me. I have always been a fan of him and I have been very much liked. I met Sunil sir for the first time at the house of Galaxy apartment Salman Sir. Salman sir had said that I am making the heroine and Suraj Pancholi is the main lead in it and at the same time we had exchanged the number each other. I am also a good friend of both the children of Sunil sir i.e. both Ahaan and Athiya.
Sunil sir has always stood with me. Whether my time is good or I am going through a bad phase. He always remained the same for me and I feel very good that I am Sunil Shetty Sir or Sanjay Dutt sir or Jackie Shroff Sir, I can ever work with these actors. I would like to work again with Sunil sir. Together, I say that when I was working in the hero, Jackie Shroff Sir said that I am not very serious about the work. Have done a film, have done a hero, now not thinking about it. You do your work well, stop thinking of the film, stop thinking, now think about the next film. Today I can say that I am happy with my life. I am very satisfied
It has been 10 years since the first film Hero came to the people. What did these 10 years teach you?
This time has taught me a lot and I think my learning process is not over. Good time will come on you both. It is better that you are very close to your family members, they also keep them close to you. Whether or not your family is with you in a bad time.
In the press conference, I saw that when you came to speak in the mike in your hand, a word did not come out of your tongue but filled the eyes.
Yes, I am like this. I become emotional in this way. I am not able to put my words in front of many people because I am not habitual. I limit my every human being to myself. Be good, whatever way, I keep pressing it in my heart. Sometimes when the chance comes, I become emotional in this way and become silent.
But believe me, I am very happy only then I can do it. Still there is a desire to talk sometime. I sometimes do about my heart about my career about my relationship with my sister. It seems to me that if you show yourself the emotions. So it may be that in the coming time he is to use it against you. So I like to confine all the emotions to myself.
In Kesari Veer, you are the warrior to save Somnath temple. Have you ever gone to that temple?
I have gone to that temple. I consider Mahadev ji very much. My mother had said that the sun comes and come to the Somnath temple. It is heard that many beliefs are accepted there and is considered a very powerful temple. I went there and went 2 days ago. Had seen. Was very amazing experience. It is the temple of Mahadev ji. It was very good and after two days I got the Kesari Veer film. After two months, I was shooting this film and now see I am in front of you today.
Apart from this, scissors also went to Dham. A very different experience comes. Go there sit there. If you sit for 15 minutes, then you get absolutely peace in your mind and become clean. You return refreshed. I consider these two places very much. I do not go to the temple, etc. I worship God in myself. Sometimes I remember Mahadev ji.
What is there and what are your friends in your film friendship.
Friends, I have only two. Athiya and Tiger I also saw that video of Babil and I think he is going through a very bad phase. As far as the film industry is concerned, I think when I was going through a bad phase, then I was from the film industry. Together I needed more than my family members. I think these days there are too much pressure on newcomers. There was not much stress and challenge in my time.
Nowadays it has become more, whether it is on Ibrahim or on Rasha or on Jahnavi. Everyone keeps an eye on you and you have to continue to proof all the time. I consider Instagram responsible for this because so much trolling starts there, your name should have an answer to everything. If the answer is not done then you get trolled. I myself do not keep a distance on social media myself. She is releasing the film, so at this time I have started appearing a little more on Instagram or on social media.
Otherwise it happens that nowadays, due to Instagram, actors are also being selected. Some have 1 million followers or four million followers, cast it in their film. Acting does not come, it is different, even though a very good actor stands up in front, but still he chooses the followers of Instagram, instead of acting.
