People know singer and actor Ila Arun because of superhit songs like ‘Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai…’ and ‘Gupchup…’. She says that people have made the assumption that I am only a singer, so now I ask people to recognize the other work that I have done. Special conversation with him/her:

highlights

  • Ila Arun EXCLUSIVE: People are going to dance after drinking alcohol in the concert, today’s young generation has no interest in literature.
  • First of all I remember my mother. She used to tell me about places like Kashmiri Mohalla, Pan Dariba, Ganeshganj, Golaganj – Ila Arun
  • Diljit Dosanjh sings very well. However, I would like to ask her whether people are really listening to her – Ila

Recently, artist Ila Arun, who had come to participate in a literature festival, was disappointed after not finding the youth among her. he/she feels that today’s young generation understands only the language of social media. On the culture of live concerts, he/she said that today people are going there to drink alcohol and just for entertainment. In this special conversation, Ila Arun told a lot about the advice she got from yesteryear’s superstar Rajkumar, trolling, Lucknow, theater and Kartin Aryan-Nawazuddin Siddiqui. On hearing the name of Lucknow, the first thing that comes to mind is mother. She used to tell me about places like Kashmiri Mohalla, Pan Dariba, Ganeshganj, Golaganj. She used to say that whenever you go there, spend time at all these places, she had good knowledge of these places. It was thanks to him/her that I got a chance to know this city. This place is a true example of Ganga-Jamuni culture. Although I got the opportunity to come here many times, but during the shooting of the film Raat Akeli Hai, I started knowing and understanding the city of Nawabs properly. People’s tongues are so beautiful that it is like raining flowers.

Young generation understands only the language of social media

In today’s time no one wants to listen to literature, especially the youth. This is the state of Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Dharamveer Bharti, Bhagwati Charan Verma, Amritlal Nagar. There was a time when Hindi and Urdu languages ​​used to speak together. Now those languages ​​have separated and the other has started faltering because the younger generation understands only the language of Instagram. Earlier letters and essays were written in both Hindi and English, now no one wants to write. I came to the literary festival and was disappointed to see that the youth were missing, that you don’t want to go where you are getting words for free. I say that to introduce the young generation to literature, first involve their parents. Parents should show only that much love and affection so that the children do not stumble.

hid his/her face to avoid people

Diljit Dosanjh (Punjabi actor and singer) sings very well. However, I would like to ask him/her if people are really listening to him/her because people are drinking a lot at his/her concerts. After Lucknow, I saw the same in Jaipur also. I was stuck in a four-five kilometer long traffic jam. Saw that our youth were not in their senses. Their noise continued. In such a situation, I hid my face because I did not want people to recognize me. It doesn’t seem like people are going to the concert to listen to the songs, they are just going there to drink and be entertained. There is so much power in the rhythm and rhythm of the song that it hypnotizes you, there is no need to drink alcohol for that. I also sing for the youth, on which people dance. I talk about folk songs, folk arts, bangles and bindis.

People assumed I was just a singer

People have made the assumption that I am just a singer but they don’t know how much I love theatre, how much I love writing. Now all I say is that don’t judge me as much as ‘what’s behind the blouse…’, try to know about ‘what’s behind the curtain’ as well. I try to teach the youth what I have experienced in 42 years. Do read books, no matter which author they are, because if they have written even one good chapter, it can change your life.

Raj Kumar had advised not to go alone on the set

People know late actor Raj Kumar only for his/her powerful voice, dialogues and white shoes. By working with him/her in the film Police Public, I came to know what kind of person he/she was. I used to sit in the lawn during breaks during shooting. One day he/she sent tea for me from his/her spot boy. Then one day he/she asked me whether you had come alone? When I agreed, he/she advised me to never go alone on the sets. Go with a family member or spot boy, make-up man etc. because good and bad people are everywhere and the temptation is so much that you can get carried away.

Can’t forgive someone who leaves the drama midway

Theater is very important for good acting. Even today we are doing it with full heart and passion. It is a different matter that people want to use theater as a stepping stone. For example, if an artist doing theater with us says someday that he/she has to go for an audition for a film or a web series, hence he/she will not be able to come to the rehearsal today, then we motivate him/her to move ahead because he/she has come to reach the big screen. Is for. Yes, but if someone does this on the day of staging, I can never forgive him/her because everything is already decided.

I like the work of Kartik Aryan and Nawaz

I like Vidya Balan very much. She is a mature actress, who is absolutely fearless in choosing her roles. Whether you see his/her work in Lage Raho ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ or in ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Begum Jaan’, he/she has always won the hearts of people with his/her work as an artist. Talking about actors, I like Kartik Aryan very much. he/she did wonders in Muralikant Petkar’s biopic Chandu Champion. I had taken my grand daughters to see that film but sadly found the cinema hall empty. My grand daughter asked why have you brought me to an empty cinema hall, then I said to show a good movie. Apart from this, I also like the work of Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

version
I don’t know what trolling is. I don’t even know what memes are. There was a time when it was said that if there is controversy then you are successful. I was surprised by this. My mother used to say that no one should talk about you even that much because if you are defamed then it is not good.
