India, March 21 -- Continued from p 01 There isn't a revival of Takht right now on the cards. But that is a film I will definitely make while I can still breathe and stand on my feet. I consider it to be the strongest screenplay that was developed, written by Sumit Roy. Full credit to him - he's the writer of the film - and I believe it's the best-written piece of work in my career. What I have been developing is something nobody's actually talking about. Thank God for that. So in the garb of this rumour, in the garb of this K3G speculation, actually jo ho raha hai, jo main likh raha hoon, jo main banane wala hoon, uske baare mein koi baat nahi kar raha. Roohi. She's a quieter, empathetic, hypersensitive child. She also follows parental instructions, which is what I did. I was a good kid. Yash is a little more of a brat, but he's also very sensitive. They are good kids. Sid has been a student (launched by me in Student Of The Year; 2012), and he's also been very close to the film company. We consider him and Kiara (Advani) family to us. Sid and I have been chatting about the possibility of coming together for a strong film, but right now it's all too soon. I have no idea! Maybe I don't have an interesting life, so this is what makes my life interesting. I always say: love me, hate me, just don't be indifferent to me. And I'm glad that Reddit, blind items or speculation keep the interest in what I'm doing alive. That means I may have done something right in my life to have created this sense of curiosity around me. Many of those blind items, when I read them, I find hilarious. Some of them are quite close to the truth, and some are distant from reality... Many a time, I'm amused, but I no longer get upset or angry at either the trolling or the speculation. Many celebrity friends have asked me, 'Why are you so calm even in a crisis?' Even when there was a lot of Bollywood bashing happening at one point, a very close friend, who is also a movie star, came over and said, 'Is everything okay? Why are you so calm? You should be reacting'. My parents raised me to know that if something is completely untrue, and people don't know the person you are, then what is the point of getting upset? I would be upset if what they were saying about me was actually true. The younger generation, with social media, technology and constant noise around them, is very restless and anxious. So I think we're dealing with an anxiety-ridden generation that wants validation of stardom very fast. I don't blame them because they are judged daily. None of us, when we started off, were recipients of this level of judgment. The kind of scrutiny that exists today is traumatising. It can take a toll on your mental health. So I don't judge them for decisions they make in their life and career that I may or may not agree with. I get it. I hear them. I see what they're going through. If you ask me whether I want my children to enter this profession, I can't give you a resounding yes, because I know how tough it is, even for insiders. It's the way of the world, and you have to accept it. As a filmmaker, I don't work with just one actor all the time. I want to try different artistes, stories and technicians. So if someone wants a fresh start or a different approach, that's fine. Anyone who has left our agency, I will always wish them well and continue to work with them. Many have left and I still collaborate with them. I'm not a talent manager per se, it's just one arm of my company. I'm a filmmaker first. If someone is right for my film, I won't cast them based on which agency they belong to. It is very worrisome... My thoughts are with those facing it today. But I do believe we are in good hands. Authorities act immediately and provide security. Every time I've reached out in a difficult situation, my city and state have been very supportive. I've always felt protected here, and I believe we will continue to be. What makes me angry is people who are not on time. I have an aversion to lack of punctuality. What makes me sad. I'm an old-fashioned loyalist. I will always be grateful to Aditya Chopra (filmmaker), Shah Rukh Khan (actor) and Yash Raj Films for being my mentors and my beginning. I say with pride that I would wipe the floors of YRF and Red Chillies. I would do anything that was asked because I owe my entire being to them. I don't know if that level of loyalty exists anymore. But I am grateful to those who remain loyal to me. That is the first quality I look for in a person....
