Reporter: The whole... the script that I have in my hand is that you take injections to keep yourself young
Sridevi: I beg a pardon..
Reporter: (laughs) I'm not saying that... ...No?
Sired: No not at all
Reporter: Ok and... How do you think... you've been working in the industry a long time now... so what prompted you to come into movies
Sridevi: (looking startled) Sorry I'm just thinking about injections
Reporter: Oh.. no no no. Ok... It's over
Sridevi: Oh god. How the people can...
Reporter: It's over...
Sridevi: (wipes sweat off forehead with handkerchief) ...yeah...?
Reporter: How do you think... I mean what prompted you to come into movies?
Sridevi: Because I love dancing
Reporter: And that's how you came into movies? Don't you think you would have.. you could have even gone in for a... I mean the dance shows and things
Sridevi: Ah yeah but you know, nothing like being in this profession. With this satisfaction
Reporter: Satisfaction of...?
Sridevi: Satisfaction of fame...
Reporter: Yeah... that's all?
Sridevi: And money too (laughs)
Reporter: Sure (laughs) and would you like to say anything about the movie... What did you do, how was the songs, how was the sets?
Sridevi: Every song in this movie is mind blowing. It's really too good. And they spend so much money... huge sets, costumes and everything ...was taking so much time (wiping sweat again)
Reporter: And what do you think brought you to the number one position in the industry?
Sridevi: Talent
Reporter: Your talent of course and what else
Sridevi: And...
Reporter: Do you think luck plays a role in it
Sridevi: Yeah of course. I believe in it ...and sincerity
Reporter: Yeah. Do you think you've been lucky or you actually deserved it?
Sridevi: No it's not a just a luck. You can't just depend on luck. You have to have everything. Talent. Luck. Beauty. You know, should know how to dance... and everything
Reporter: What is your idea of beauty? Being beautiful?
Sridevi: A natural beauty I can say
Reporter: In the sense that... a beautiful face or is it a lot more to it...
Sridevi: Beautiful face. Expressive eyes, good figure, height
Reporter: And you have all that? Sure...
Sridevi: I don't know... just request all my fans and the people to see this movie and I wanted to know their opinion of the...
Reporter: Sure. Thank you so much
Sridevi: Nice talking to you...
Reporter: Thank you... And talking to you
Sridevi: Bye!
(Sridevi tries to walk away, but she is unable to move very far. She seems to breathe a huge sigh of relief... However the reporter continues the questioning...)
Reporter: Just one more question that we have. That you are the "room ki rani now" after this film we can call you by a certain phrase. So who do you think is the emperor in you life. Do you have one or yet to find one?
Sridevi: Yet to find one.
Reporter: Do you think the chances are very close or a long way yet?
Sridevi: I have to ask my mum about it
Reporter: You believe... arranged marriages ya, right?
Sridevi: Right
Reporter: You have... none of your own choices, yes?
Sridevi: I don't want to take a risk... you know
Reporter: But you would take the risk of your mother choosing?
Sridevi: Yeah. I don't mind. So I can blame her if at all something goes wrong
Reporter: But don't you think it would be all... whatever goes wrong will be going wrong with you
Sridevi: No no I'm just joking... I believe in arranged marriage
Reporter: Thank you so much
(Sridevi swiftly moves away now)
The cake is brought in and Sridevi and Anil Kapoor cut it with the title song playing in the background.
The movie went on to become one of the biggest disasters of all-time. As it cost so much to make, and it was unable to recover costs. Sri had also been banking on the film to bring her back into the running, but the film started in the end part of her career.
