'STOP MAKING PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GODS'

Pooja Bhatt may be acting in Chup, but there's no way you can silence this outspoken actor-film-maker.
'STOP MAKING PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GODS'

After making her comeback in the wellreviewed Bombay Begums, Pooja joins hands with a beautiful assortment of actors like Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan and Shreyas Dhanwanthary in Balki's Chup: Revenge Of The Artist, a film about a serial killer who eliminates film critics who give negative reviews.

But she's not talking about her film yet.

In a fascinating multiple-part interview, Pooja discusses her greatest learnings as an actress, as she tells "Mithun Chakraborty and Rishi Kapoor were the most under-rated actors who got their due much later in life. Why? Because they didn't sit down and turn acting into a master class. They have been my strangest teachers at that time."

You were sharing your experience of working with Mithun Chakraborty and Rishi Kapoor a while ago. Let's pick this conversation up where it was left off.

So I was shooting with Mithunda in Malaysia for a film called Naaraaz (1994).

There was heavy traffic, and we had very little time to complete that shot.

At the end of the day, we are all humans." We did the shot and I was walking back with him across the road.

During those days, we did not have make-up vans and all of that.

We were crossing the road, and we stopped.

I said, 'Dada, I feel the shot was not up to the mark.'

He literally turned in the middle of the street, traffic stopped, and said not to do this again.

He said, 'Yeh perfection ka bhoot na nikaalo apne jism se, apne zehen se.'

He said, 'Give your everything in the first two shots and then forget about it. Aisa hona chahiye tha, waisa hona chahiye tha, wo bhool jao.' He added, 'Whether it's in life or shots, no difference. Never think that I should have done this. I should have done that.

Give it your best and move on.' That lesson stayed with me forever, and I try to apply it to every area of my life.

It's the perfect time to pay a visit to locations that are usually swarming with tourists and enjoy some serious natural beauty, luxury hotels, outdoor adventures, and more than a few glasses of wine.
