Aishwarya Rai Bachchan & Karan Johar Interview with Komal Nahta • Part 1

Our guests today are Both of them began their careers nearly at the same time in Bollywood Both Top and The Game are And if they're big matters if they're matters at all if they're matters at all — I'll start with you—how have so many years passed If my first film I still remember it and when I wrote something that was happening There was a lot of discussion about Ashwarya Rai She had become Miss World Miss India And at that time I had already cast Shahrukh and Kajal So the casting was for the role of Tina I heard Tina Khanna pronounce the name Tina clearly which everyone knows So Twinkle didn't do a feature for whatever reasons After that my journey began toward becoming a top heroine Then afterward I went to Ashwera Raik Because I wanted her to look extremely beautiful I styled Tina with a lot of care So I went to Ashwera and Ashwera listened to the entire narrative carefully He also responded saying he needed one or two days due to a scheduling conflict So I thought it was over I figured she probably wouldn't tease me anymore because And I was completely new—I had gone with Mickey Contractor who did Ashwera Ray's makeup We're both from the same simple family Mickey so I still remember being at Ashley's house The entire narration has completely settled in my mind so if that narration had taken place Ashwera's phone wouldn't have rung Then after that I went to where the heroines were the same place he had gone to right there with the heroines Still I took my chance but four days later Ashwera called me so I asked why she had called me So I said I'm shooting for Jeans and of course my schedule is set—yeah now the load is on and in Jeans that song was Seven Wonder's track Because those who were with her and the eight actresses hadn't reached out to me but she had the dignity decency and class to call me and I remembered that After that our chain of missing him began whenever I'd think about Ashwarya doing a film circumstances were just like that So I called Kajal saying I was at Filmyistan Studios where Kajal was doing a shoot and I’d been on the phone the whole time and then Guru Hari Singh said Kajal wouldn’t do it so I went straight to Ashwar and that’s when I realized why Guru Hari Singh had been calling I want to meet yes that's exactly how I want to meet—I didn't even want to mention it but I do remember him Ashvar came too The filming was at the studio so the setup was good I arrived at three o'clock yes at three o'clock I reached Kajal's So Kajal I heard she won’t say it that we’ll shed one or two tears and I’ll just leave from there but it’s not happening why is everything so difficult I’ve seen it clearly I saw it even before Good luck had been working with me I don't know what's changed there—Kajal had seen it before so things must have shifted somehow I didn't go back not after Kajal arrived and Ashwarya well I'd already let her go That if Ranbir hadn't said anything my solution would have been Anushka She had a choice but for me there was no option when it came to Ashwarya So when I never even thought about it I figured if he didn't If she didn't do it I couldn't have made the picture because of the role she played And when you watch the picture and I'm not saying this lightly when you You'll see once you look you won't be able to spot me again not even in another casting When you watch the picture when you see it you'll understand at it's the most indispensable casting so finally of course I know that the picture is abou The two characters are Ayan and Elije and Saba's Normally what happens is our beloved lovers pass away On our big screen they come staggering forward carrying their hearts on their sleeves There is no such thing as a first woman And when they arrive But the impact Ashwarya makes when she enters the film and when she leaves Good or bad I'm not saying either way And afterward Ashwarya is speaking since I've been giving a very long speech So when you heard the story when the narration was given to you didn't you feel the same way Karan and I have already made things completely clear between us And over these years I've also personally grown a great deal They work from the heart are naturally playful and give lots of love It's true when they give love the detail matters and that's precisely the way I've come to recognize him I've recognized him in that way And something's happening with the narration—I won’t feel that pain on Ziar A world that would greatly miss him for he had been so essential at this narrative was about a singing dancing performing living being And I call you Comrade Komal I felt like I was seeing it all again when I watched the film on screen as if for the second time And I've seen many a time when it would greatly remind you of what once was Whenever she has been mistake They say Karan is their biggest reason and their biggest reason is Karan He's the one who's bothering you about the matter and that's exactly what I'm telling you today She walks forward and if she's heading toward that great destiny I'm with her No Ali Jee was the one who used to do the same thing with Anushka and this van And I used to do it just as I do all of you And it did for me and it did for time After that Khair and respect go together So you must be praying for it right That there are still many more lamps burning than before Sometimes everyone prays There's nothing like Liqin that exists nothing at all When the heart is involved it effortlessly turns the unconventional into the conventional The heart is the greatest obstacle and that's precisely why it's the one thing that gives us trouble—nothing else Love might be complete even if it remains unfulfilled You want a physician the kind who used to attend weddings and festivities Why shouldn't I tell you You're happy about something aren't you The joy I'm keeping alive I've kept you informed as you've always been aware Shahrukh and I have made about five films together So the question wasn't clear in the first place because He didn’t even listen to Shahrukh’s script He was just all in like we're making a movie Yeah tell me when to show off It is relationships that shape such connections With such wealth and Ashwarya by his side with Shahrukh I don't think I'll ever turn that down It's the kind of connection that just grows naturally As a producer you don't know the details Because you're not directing it I've heard so many times about the dire circumstances faced by those who perish in GirgEDA But as a director Have you ever heard of the full version of Sanskrit But tell me isn't it a desirable position to be in That no one will say no Whoever I place my hand on will be ready and she will be ready too And not just because they want to accommodate you but because they truly believe in your talent They also believe that if you take the script along you'll take a good one Take it with pride But he has earned it I am truly blessed and honored to be in this position And I am grateful to the universe to God That they put me in such circumstances Truth is yes it's something to envy And I hope I can keep this going I mean success would be so easy if only it were that simple Keeping up and staying consistent is extremely difficult for me You're just as easygoing with every artist whether they're as senior as Amitabh Bachchan sahab You're either as fresh as Siddharth Malhotra or as fresh as Varun Dhawan—no in-between You're the life of the party even at a Shahrukh Khan event Your relationship with Salman Khan is just like that too You guys are best friends I've seen it too with Amir Khan How do you entertain everyone How do you Thank you Komal Here you've called me a fool saying you've turned me into a mere pawn Neither from the house nor from the ghats In your description Either I am India's number one chippie I stick to every corner I reach I am the son of a horse breeder I belong neither to the house nor to the riverbank You were praising me Don't you care about me at all You you I feel like this is going to happen He's a truly generous person when it comes to the seeds office I'm reading about this right now Respecting the efforts of others Hold on tightly and keep it steady Not as if your relationships are anything like that It is based on a film That you turned this into a relationship during the film How long have I been holding onto you Our friendship dates back several centuries I know you Ups and downs are part of every relationship But maintaining Riste's legacy Respect give time and maintain it You've taken the name of the living one Whether it's Aamer or Salman All of my friends are with me in this journey Salman owns my film Salman's mother My mom's very close friend Mr Salim who has been a close friend of Papa My personal connection with Amir is one I've never worked on with Amir But still Amir's presence touched everything all the time we never worked together We've never worked together and who knows when we will Only two things are needed to keep relationships strong It's easy to give time—you just need to make the time And intention as in your intention is to do it for no reason at all Sometimes fate plays tricks on everyone—I want to use you I'm befriending you for this purpose When your intention is clear and you're giving your time There's no relationship that you can't maintain And the things I've learned from my father And they always did so because people need people You are incomplete without people In any circumstance as sometimes occurs in our lives Perhaps during this film or perhaps during other films as well Whenever I've faced difficult circumstances It's always my relatives who come to my rescue You can't stay in isolation forever If I were to become the very essence of my world and the foundation for my people Should I do things for myself or just for you Then how can I be I'm human aren't I Then I must be a man not just a human being right He had mentioned that when he used to go direct Don't give him instructions on Mac you know he says actors don't More than Jaz I've been through so much I thought I'd never make it back to life again No one else holds more land than Aktersa You are aware that these are very large sturgeons They are sturgeons noble sturgeons But even more fearful and terrified humans than those Not a single one has been left behind not even one family Those who give their lives for their people those who sacrifice themselves They wonder whether I've lived up to such a standard whether I've performed adequately They are submissive insecure and broken You're much better suited for the room role As the Kamara Rule states For the first time whoever you are Why aren't you the greatest artist of all When you receive your validatio No not fantastic you'relieved Now it's up to the artist The one who is afraid or the one who is frightened Give your mic four instructions before that Calm down what are you doing hey She'll be kicked off So I say keep your mic close to you Rise up go to his ear and tell him to give the dowry We're informing you about Convivis Just give four instructions on your Myke This is what I'm telling my Mike about four And what about the one who's on the move I'm not always apologetic I think their complicated minds are so beautiful Panther to Star Ego and you like that too One is ego one is self-restraint It could be a moment of peace It can go up and down with a meter for each Fever can rise and fall just like that Many changes are taking place The matter of self-respect arises today You can't move from that spot What is it What do you mean by it I've seen Directors plenty of times on the street That oil talks about you on my behalf What on earth did that mean A great deal of conversation has taken place with people Those who talk by calling on the phone that is to say That you've already spoken to the officer We meet here neither yours nor mine just us So why are you blaming me I have my own work to do—I’ll come to you today what’s the problem You don't have the right to give such things I'll meet you at the hotel Let's meet in the bathroom Have it done for me Meet me somewhere You won't get my respect unless you show me yours or your standing will only diminish I'll come rushing to your embrace growing right into your lap as soon as I see you Just get your work done okay What do I care I am first and foremost the son of a producer I'll get rid of whatever interferes with my work He must do anything at all Work wages and punishment too
