On
His
Role
In
Begum
Jaan
"The
trailer
release
has
been
as
good
as
a
film
release
for
me.
The
kind
of
response
I
have
got
on
social
accounts
and
messages,
I
think
it
created
a
shock
value.
It's
a
very
important
character
in
the
film
because
he
changes
everything
around
him.
Coming
from
Aakhri
Pasta
to
something
so
evil
is
a
huge
jump
within
the
year."
On
Why
He
Believes
That
Prostitutes
Are
Doing
A
Favour
To
The
Nation
"I
saw
the
trailer
of
Rajkahini
and
I
thought
Vidya
is
the
only
one
who
can
come
up
to
this,
what
Rituparna
(Sengupta)
has
done.
But
after
seeing
the
trailer,
I
feel
she
has
taken
it
to
a
different
level.
There's
no
vulgarity
to
it.
It's
bold
and
shameless.
The
film
is
not
about
women
empowerment,
it's
about
powerful
women
who
are
in
the
oldest
profession
in
the
world:
Prostitution.
Unfortunately,
it
is
looked
down
upon.
They
are
doing
a
favour
to
the
nation,
it
should
be
legalised.
Imagine
the
sexual
frustration
in
the
country
if
it
didn't
exist!"
On
His
Wife's
Reaction
To
His
Menacing
Transformation
For
Begum
Jaan
"My
wife
was
not
at
home,
she
was
on
holiday
in
London.
When
I
reached
home,
my
dog
nearly
attacked
me.
My
maid
screamed,
and
because
she
did,
my
dog
thought
some
intruder
had
come
and
jumped
on
me.
When
I
joined
my
wife
in
London,
she
was
in
the
room...
I
entered
the
room
with
my
(key)
card
and
she
nearly
had
a
heart
attack
because
she
thought
a
robber
had
entered
the
room.
We
were
not
husband
and
wife
till
my
hair
grew
back.
We
had
no
relationship!"
On
How
He
Bagged
His
First
Film
In The
Toilet
Of
A
Five
Star
Hotel
"I
tried
to
get
into
video
films,
TV
serials,
auditions...
I
struggled
for
two
years.
Suddenly
in
a
five
star
hotel
toilet,
I
met
Pahlaj
Nihalani
(who
currently
heads
the
Censor
Board).
He
told
me,
'Remember
my
number,
call
me
tomorrow
and
see
me'.
That's
how
I
got
my
first
film,
in
the
toilet
of
a
hotel.
So
I
keep
telling
my
kids,
everyone
has
their
own
success
story,
don't
mimic
anyone
else's
story.
It
will
all
happen
the
way
it
is
meant
to
happen.
I
met
him
the
next
day
and
he
told
me
that
he
was
going
to
America
that
night.
He
said
he
would
return
in
a
month
and
start
a
film
with
me.
So
I
said,
'Don't
I
have
to
sign
something?' He
said,
'No,
just
don't
shave.
Grow
a
beard'."
"After
a
month,
he
came
back
and
called
me
--
we
had
land
line
phones
then
--
and
told
me
that
the
muhurat
was
the
day
after
tomorrow
at
Filmistan
studio.
He
asked
me
to
get
my
parents
too."
"I
couldn't
believe
this
was
happening
because
when
you
get
rejected
so
often,
you
don't
believe
it
when
it
happens."
So
Chunky
went
for
the
muhurat
where
met
his
superstar
co-stars
Dharmendra
and
Shatrughan
Sinha
and
that's
how
his
first
film
Aag
Hi
Aag
happened.
On
How
His
Superhit
Film
Tezaab
Happened
Out
Of
Rejection
"Tezaab
happened
out
of
a
rejection.
I
had
gone
to
the
Rajshri
office
to
audition
for
Pratighat.
The
director
N
Chandra
told
me
I
didn't
suit
the
role.
But
he
said
he
was
making
a
film
with
Anil
Kapoor
the
next
year.
He
had
already
started
working
on
Tezaab
--
and
that
he
will
meet
me
for
that
later."
