Ruslaan Mumtaz, Sheena Shahabadi talk about Teree Sang & issue of teen pregnancy : Bollywood News

RM: According to you, what sort of a message does a film like Teree Sang give?

SS: Teree Sang is against teenage pregnancy and thats the message it gives. It says not to get pregnant at an early age.

SS: Is Teree Sang a difficult film to digest?

RM: Yes, it is a difficult film to digest. We have a fifteen year old girl getting pregnant. The day I walked into Satish Kaushiks office and I saw you, I was stunned. You did look fifteen. So I too had to lose lot of weight to match up with you in terms of looking like a school boy. The film deals in conflict of todays and yesteryears mental attributes.

RM: Teree Sang is going to be compared to Kya Kehna. Have you seen the film?

SS: I have seen the film. In Kya Kehna, Preity Zinta is aware of what she is going into. She knows what she is doing. In Teree Sang, I am too innocent and just do it. Plus, Saif Ali Khan abandons Preity Zinta. Here, I get support from the boy.

RM: Did you seek help to prepare for a role like this?

SS: I did seek help from my mother who gave vital inputs into the preparation for a role like this. I also asked my onscreen mother Neena Gupta for tips on my role as a pregnant teenager. She was very helpful.

RM: Are you prepared for failure and success?

SS: Yes I am. You need to be prepared for both once you choose to come into the profession like this. I am confident that I will move ahead. I dont know about the film. But yes, failure is the first step towards success.

SS: Are you ready for failure?

RM: I choose a film and do not expect to be a box office success. I choose a character right. So even if the film fails, the character doesnt. My previous film MP3 didnt work but I got more roles after my debut film. My next film is a Nikhil Advani production. I am not buying a lottery ticket.I am an actor. You give me a good script and a part and Ill do well. Box Office is producers domain.
