0:00Even if I do marry tomorrow and even if whatever I'm,
0:03I say, in a relationship with someone seriously, I,
0:05I don't wanna go in for a divorce when I get married.
0:08And I'm someone who will, I know tons of married couples around me
0:12who are in it for all the wrong reasons.
0:13You must be under tremendous strain and stress everyday.
0:16Yeah, definitely.
0:17A lot of our issues we had was media created.
0:20Yes, there was a personal disturbance in between,
0:22which I don't even want to get into.
0:24Vijay is someone that I'm,
0:26I'm, who's always very special to me.
0:28You know, you always look back and say
0:29that one person I'll always be very fond of, he's one of them.
0:34I'm sure she would also like you to get married.
0:37I know this question you don't like. See,
0:39I don't like in the sense people ask it very, like,
0:45even if I do marry tomorrow and even if whatever,
0:47I'm safe in a relationship with someone seriously,
0:50I don't want to go in for a divorce when I get married.
0:59I don't know, Schilder.
1:00I really don't know. It totally depends on who I'm with and who I meet.
1:04I, I want to feel,
1:05is this the person I can live with for the rest of my life?
1:08Because I don't, I don't.
1:10I, Don't believe in divorce.
1:11Hello, everybody.
1:13Once again, red carpet is rolling.
1:15And this time I have with me a very special guest,
1:19none other than Trisha. Well,
1:21I've been chasing her for a very,
1:23very long time and finally she agreed to come and do a red carpet.
1:28Welcome to the show with you.
1:29Thank you. Thank you.
1:30She's been rocking
1:31and she is the single biggest survivor in the history of Bollywood,
1:36I would say. She's been there for the last almost 10 years.
1:39And she's done major roles in all South Indian languages
1:44and also in Hindi. And here we have Trisha with us.
1:48Do you have a set goal,
1:49like the number of years that you're going to be here
1:52or something like that? No,
1:53not at all. Every time I've had set goals and never stuck to them, it's,
1:57it's always gone beyond expectations,
1:59and I mean in a good way. And I,
2:01I want cinema to be something that I,
2:04I die with honestly. And I don't mean it in a dramatic way
2:07like I wanna act and I'm gonna die with my makeup on.
2:10I don't mean it that way at all.
2:11I just want cinema to be proud of me because this is my anchor.
2:15I've realised that today,
2:16and I wouldn't have probably said this a few years back.
2:19Films are my stability because it's my work.
2:22And then this. Then why did you get into marriage and other things?
2:25I, Think that was, that,
2:26that's why, that's why I got out of it.
2:28Ha, ha, ha,
2:28ha, ha, ha.
2:29No, but this is what I mean when,
2:31I mean, I'm going to die with, um,
2:33with cinema being part of me.
2:34It's in my blood. Even if I do marry tomorrow and even if whatever I'm,
2:39I say, in a relationship with someone seriously,
2:41I still want cinema to be my primary,
2:44you know, I,
2:44it's my angle. So you will continue acting in cinema till,
2:48like what Elizabeth Taylor says,
2:50that till the end. Absolutely.
2:51As long, till the end.
2:52As long as people will have me,
2:53as long as people will watch me.
2:55If not acting, cinema will still be in my blood.
2:57There is something. I will do a branch out.
2:59I will do something because there's nothing else I know.
3:02Okay. There's nothing else I know.
3:03And you, you want to continue doing it till the very end.
3:06I want to. I mean,
3:07if all goes well, I'm not going to do it for the sake of doing it.
3:11And, yes,
3:12of course. And actors shelf life is,
3:15it does take a backseat,
3:16probably if you marry or probably if you're planning to have a baby.
3:18No, but you survived,
3:19you said, for 14 years.
3:20Exactly. In this industry,
3:2114 years is equivalent to almost 20,
3:2425 years. Absolutely.
3:25That's true. But there's so much I could do.
3:27I could do different kinds of cinema.
3:29I, Could do,
3:29I could venture out globally.
3:30I could do so much. Yeah,
3:32definitely. I'm not looking at only doing mass for,
3:34and, you know,
3:34being, doing love, romance,
3:36romantic films for the next few years.
3:38There's something I know I will do with where cinema is concerned.
3:41What's your stress buster in the sense that you,
3:44you must be under tremendous strain and stress everyday.
3:47I mean, there,
3:48like I said, there are lows.
3:49Everybody goes through them.
3:51My stress buster, honestly, Schilder,
3:53I've realised again, after many,
3:54many years is just me time.
3:56It's just spending a lot of time with myself,
3:58um, reinventing,
4:00self healing. And, um, I,
4:02I do, I spend a lot of time alone.
4:04I have a great, I have a great family,
4:07wonderful friends. They are my stress busters.
4:10And all I need to do is pick up the phone and speak to one of them.
4:12They, they make me feel like everything is perfect all over again.
4:16Trisha,
4:17you would not have been here literally also without Umar Krishna.
4:21Absolutely. She's a fabulous woman.
4:23And absolutely,
4:24you know her very well. Yeah.
4:27I mean, it's only because of her determination that what you are today,
4:31you wouldn't have survived even for two,
4:323 years. No,
4:33I wouldn't have. I,
4:34because for me,
4:35everything that happens behind the scenes is her everything,
4:39even for, even in terms of emotionally motivating me or encouraging me.
4:44And we have a, like a proper Mother daughter relationship.
4:48Yeah, but more of a,
4:49I mean, two friends stalking you.
4:51Absolutely. But we do have our bad days.
4:53We argue, we fight like any mother and daughter.
4:55But I've noticed one thing with us
4:57when it comes to work and my professional front,
5:00we're on the same page always.
5:02It's, it's,
5:02it's a, uh,
5:04it's so fortunate. We believe in the same kind of films.
5:06We believe in the same kind of, uh,
5:08models, in the same kind of principles when it comes to my work
5:11that we work wonder, we're a team.
5:14And I'm just, I just feel she does everything.
5:17I'm just there presenting it.
5:18That's all. She's amazing.
5:20She's a great balance of mummy, friend, manager,
5:23anchor, everything.
5:26I think she's, she plays a very important role.
5:29And I'm sure she would also like you to get married.
5:32I know this question you don't like. No,
5:33no. It's because recently in my,
5:35in my Twitter. In Twitter. No,
5:37it's bound to. You said it's bound to.
5:38No, see,
5:39I don't like in the sense people ask it very,
5:42like when you're getting married, like, oh,
5:44it's, is it the right thing to do?
5:45Why aren't you getting married when you're in your 30s?
5:47You're supposed to get married.
5:48You've had 15 years. What more do you want?
5:50The way they ask it is what I dislike about the question.
5:53If you very normally ask me,
5:55when do you wanna get married?
5:57I mean, I don't know Schilder.
6:03I, I want to feel
6:07Because I don't, I don't,
6:09I don't believe in divorce.
6:10I, I don't wanna go in for a divorce when I get married.
6:18And I'm happy married and they're so,
6:20and I, I know these people.
6:22I know these people. Some of them are my friends.
6:24They're extremely unhappy.
6:25They're in it for, uh,
6:27for the wrong reasons, for children,
6:28for families, for adults.
6:29I don't want to be in a marriage like that.
6:31I don't. And so,
6:33I mean, I'm just saying
6:34I'd rather wait and do it when it's with the right person.
6:38And if it doesn't happen, I'm okay with that as well. Yeah,
6:41I'm okay because then I wouldn't. I,
6:43I don't think it's unfortunate.
6:44I think it's just, it didn't happen.
6:46That's all. But I hope really someday you settle down.
6:49But like you said, to the right guy and a guy who understands you,
6:53that person true,
6:54who gets it. And more than when I,
6:56I want to fall in love. I want to meet someone.
6:59I can't be alone now that there's a big difference.
7:01Marriage is secondary, but I definitely want to
7:03Meet my companion that I'm very particular about.
7:06Yeah, I want to meet someone who I can share life with,
7:09do life with. So that,
7:10that is definitely a priority.
7:12What about Ajeeb? I said that you rocked in so many movies.
7:15He's my favorite. I've always said that and gotten into trouble for it,
7:18isn't it? So,
7:20yeah, he seems to be the favorite of all the herons.
7:22Yeah, because of how he is.
7:23He's a complete gentleman.
7:25I, when I go on set,
7:26he's like, what would you like to cook?
7:28What would you like me to cook for you,
7:30you know, today?
7:31So who wouldn't like him? So you have tasted his famous biryanis.
7:34Oh, yes.
7:35His biryani. I've tasted all his Italian dishes,
7:38his pastas, because I've done, again,
7:40I think four, four films.
7:41Four films with him. You know,
7:42you can't not have a rapper
7:44when you've worked with someone consistently over so many years.
7:47He's a complete gentleman,
7:48utter professional. And, um,
7:52again, I have a lovely,
7:53we, we're both Taurans. So,
7:55you know, we kind of used to speak so much about food
7:58and we actually don't discuss films.
8:01We discuss people. We discuss world,
8:03what's happening around the world.
8:05And he's someone I can gossip with and in a very mild,
8:08harmless way. You know,
8:09it's never really like, uh, uh,
8:12it's never vindictive or anything.
8:13He's just someone I love talking to
8:15and I love the way he does life.
8:17He, He had the guts to,
8:19at one point, you know,
8:20put his acting, say,
8:22let it, let me just keep it on the side and let me try something else.
8:25When he went into racing or when he wanted to try and fly a plane
8:29or when he went, he,
8:30and when I remember during Yanni Arindal,
8:32he used to, we used to start shooting at 9 in the morning.
8:34So, we used to wake up at 5 and go for guitar lessons,
8:37just things that interested him.
8:39And he's such a wonderful husband and a father.
8:41I mean, I think any girl would want to have a husband like him.
8:44And your pairing in Nana, and that was great with Gautham. Amazing.
8:48It was, it was amazing.
8:49And I think when I think back that actually
8:51I was hesitant about doing the film.
8:53I was a bit apprehensive because she has a baby in the film and,
8:56you know, she's already married and she's remarrying and, sorry,
8:59not even already. Yeah,
9:00remarrying and things like that.
9:02But again, uh,
9:04you know, it's a nice character
9:05if you really, it is very well etched out.
9:07I think I've got so many, so many good, uh,
9:11energy for that character,
9:12for the character I played.
9:13So many comments, even when today people watch the film,
9:16they text me, they post messages and they tell me they love Himanica.
9:20All, I mean,
9:20all credit, I have to give it to Gotham because It was his vision.
9:23I just enacted it. And of course,
9:25even Rathan, sir and Ajith told me,
9:28you know, Trisha,
9:28don't think so much. We want you in the film.
9:30Do it. So,
9:31it was really sweet when people. Yeah.
9:32I mean, Gotham Menon has given you some very,
9:35very brilliant, classy and meaty roles.
9:37Absolutely. Btv. Absolutely.
9:40What can I say? That was,
9:41you know, Sheila,
9:42when I did VTV, just before that,
9:44I was going through a very low phase in my career.
9:46Hmm. And I wouldn't say low.
9:49Low means it was, I was,
9:50there was nothing happening for me that excited me.
9:52You know, it was a time when I'm like,
9:54what's next? I mean,
9:55should I just take a year off?
9:56And then gothem came to me with,
9:58with the VTV and he was like,
10:00I said, it's nice love story, gothem,
10:02but, you know,
10:03okay, it's nice.
10:04Let's just do it. I didn't think it would reach.
10:06It was just when he narrated a very simple love story.
10:09And after seeing the film,
10:10I realised it was his screenplay that made the film work.
10:14And he's amazing. He's, again,
10:16a director who has always believed in me,
10:18who has believed I could pull off a certain character.
10:21Yeah. But you also had,
10:22at that time, the gossip was that you were very close to Sylambarasan.
10:27To be honest, I'm still very close to Simbu.
10:29He's still a very dear friend of mine.
10:31And Um, I don't know how many people remember
10:34we did a film called Alay together.
10:35Yeah. And our friendship has begun from then.
10:38So I've known Simbu for about 10 years now
10:40and he's someone we have a lot of mutual friends.
10:43He's crazy, as everybody knows that. I,
10:45I will say this to everyone.
10:46I call him crazy as well. I think somewhere when crazy meets crazy,
10:51you know, you kind of,
10:53we have a very good friendship.
10:54We don't like
10:55I don't remember the last time I've spoken to him on the phone.
10:57We don't necessarily chat every day or meet up that regularly,
11:00but he's someone I know who will be there for me if I need a friend
11:03and he, he knows the same where I'm concerned.
11:06What about, um,
11:07see, you have been linked with Rana.
11:10Would you like to say something about it?
11:12Oh, god, yeah,
11:13that's a never ending story.
11:15It's just been going on and on.
11:16It's been on and off. Uh,
11:18see, again,
11:18Rana, I'll tell you,
11:19I've known him since I was,
11:20I think 18 because we were neighbours,
11:23you know, when I lived in my old house in Tinagar.
11:25He was a Ramanaidu guru,
11:27had an opposite and ran up pretty much grew up in Chennai as well.
11:31Again, it's a friendship that started then
11:33and we have these phases of being great friends
11:37and then not talking at all.
11:39So I guess with Rana, it's a very,
11:40it's A love hate relationship I share with him.
11:42Yeah. But even now,
11:43when he sees you at any public meeting,
11:45he comes up to you. He's a very gracious human. Very, very,
11:48very gracious. And that is one thing I will have to say,
11:51whether I'm talking to him,
11:52whether I'm not, whether we have a hate going on.
11:55He's very well behaved, very well mannered.
11:58I like the way he respects people.
12:00Rana has a lot of respect for.
12:01He's a ladies man. That's different.
12:03That he is. No doubt about that.
12:04He's a ladies man. But what I like is he's got a lot of good qualities.
12:09He respects people. He respects anybody,
12:11you know. And. No.
12:12He came up to you at an award function I saw recently.
12:15Yeah. It was the provoker one.
12:16Yeah. Yeah.
12:17He came up to you, talked and he just didn't mind him.
12:20That's a very gentleman. That's him to do.
12:21That's, he is,
12:22he is a gentleman. He is.
12:23No doubt about that. And he's someone, again,
12:25you know, we've come a long way.
12:27He's someone, I'll tell you when I met him also,
12:29it was when I did my first photo shoot for Vasham.
12:32That was when I met him for the first time.
12:34And he has no airs. Coming from a Ramayan,
12:36I do background, he has no airs.
12:38He's, he's very boho and hippie in his head.
12:41He's as normal as normal gets.
12:44So he's, again,
12:44someone we Go a long way back.
12:46So it'll never be someone I can absolutely cut off from or,
12:50you know, have an issue with.
12:52So that's that's Rana. Ha ha ha ha. Okay.
12:55And now let's come to
12:57is that you had a lot of tiffs with a lot of females in the industry.
13:01Oh, wow.
13:02You know that right from those days when you had a tiff with Asin.
13:05Oh my God, I
13:06and I'm not joking. That is a complete rumor.
13:09I have never had a problem with any of the women actors ever.
13:14It's really strange because even I have heard because one time Asin,
13:18Trisha Nayantara were ruling there were a lot of. Yes,
13:21there was Asin, to be very honest,
13:24the first time I met her was during I think Vashram,
13:27the film fair awards when I won a film fair for Vashram.
13:30And I have to say this, she went out of her way.
13:32She was sitting little a few meters away.
13:34She came up to me and she said,
13:35you did such a good job. Congratulations.
13:37That is when I met Austin for the first time
13:39and we've never had a TIFF.
13:42Maybe there's been media created competition because she did so well.
13:46Because she did so well. And you know,
13:47and we've done very similar films, right?
13:49If I did a film with Vijay,
13:50it was her next and the same. Yeah,
13:57to have a TIFF with someone
13:58you have to be on A very close contact with them.
14:01Asin and I have never had that.
14:02It's been very professional.
14:04She's we've never been best friends for me to have a TIFF, okay,
14:07you know, so I
14:08I have a lot of respect for the body of work she's done
14:10and the way she's conducted her life.
14:12What about uh 9 Tara, your comedy teacher?
14:16I don't think I don't know
14:17initially it was like that because even she's been around for Donk.
14:20He's yours. Yeah,
14:21we started he's been here for more than a decade. Yes,
14:23more than a decade. And what happened with Lion again was I don't know,
14:27I think a lot of our issues we had was media created. Yes,
14:31there was a personal disturbance in between,
14:34It happened again. It was never because of work.
14:37It was because mutual friends.
14:39It was because of say mutual people who we knew.
14:42That's it. And it was something it was not even a tiff.
14:44It was just we probably didn't speak for a while
14:46and then we started speaking again. Again,
14:49you know, for me,
14:50I when I when someone says TIFF,
14:52I always look at tiffs with best friends
14:55people you've spent years with people you catch up with every day
14:57and I don't have that kind of relationship with any of them
15:00any of them, anybody.
15:01So it's there's always a lot of respect
15:03and I know also Nian is Someone who is, um,
15:06be maybe competitive individually,
15:08but we never, we always wish each other when you meet at a.
15:12Definitely, of course,
15:13even now, even this minute.
15:15And I know she wishes me well and I wish her the same.
15:17What about one of your biggest hits,
15:19Gilly Hero, Vijay.
15:21Vijay is amazing. And we've done so many films.
15:24Yes, I've done four films with him.
15:26And to be very honest, when we started Gilli,
15:28I didn't have much of a rapper with him because as everybody knows,
15:31Vijay is very, he's a very quiet person.
15:33He's very reserved. He just comes on set,
15:35does his job. But through it,
15:37thanks to my team of Gilli, like,
15:39you know, Thatni and everybody else,
15:41we became really good friends.
15:43And Vijay is someone that I'm,
15:45I'm, who's always very special to me because he was the,
15:48my Costa who I've given the biggest hits with.
15:51Yes. And he's a very kind,
15:53he's a very gracious person.
15:54I've never seen him lose his cool.
15:56He is so professional on set.
15:58He does his work, completes his task to the t.
16:01And he's someone who, you know,
16:03you always look back and say
16:04that one person I'll always be very fond of,
16:06he's one of them. Trisha,
16:07you got a great set of friends.
16:09Yeah. Outside of the industry.
16:11Yeah.
16:12How do you, I mean,
16:13go along with them so much means. I,
16:15I have, I've seen you with them always. Always.
16:18Yeah, always.
16:19And you have told me that they are your biggest anchor.
16:22Absolutely. Because I think, um,
16:26we're very similar. All my friends and I, touchwood,
16:29we're very similar with the way we think,
16:30with our lifestyles, with everything.
16:32And, you know,
16:33some of them I've known for 30 years.
16:35It's like my life, you know,
16:37I've known for 30 years. We've grown up together.
16:39My school friends are the friends I did college with
16:42and my college friends are the friends I still go out with and talk to,
16:45which is why, you know,
16:46when today people, I find it very amusing when people say,
16:49why you fighting with this one in the industry
16:51that I don't have time for it at all.
16:53For me, my off.
16:54You hardly have any industry friends at the moment.
16:57I have friends. I have friends.
16:58But you don't go out with them or.
17:00I do some of them.
17:01I do. Some of my co stars,
17:02yes, we do enjoy,
17:03you know, we do go out together.
17:05But my friends are my anchor in the sense
17:07they are the people I will always turn to if I need a friend.
17:11They are my best friends. They are my family,
17:13industry friends. I love some of them.
17:15And yes, some of them are very,
17:16very close. We will even sit and talk about things and stuff like that.
17:20But if you asking me about best friends,
17:22they are outside the industry.
17:24Yeah. All the best and let's hope.
17:26Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
