It is not common in Bollywood that films are made without any preaching but Satish Kaushik has managed to do that with Teree Sang. The film stars Ruslaam Mumtaz and Sheena Shahabadi in her debut. Read this dialogue between the two as they talk about teen pregnancy and Teree Sang.

Ruslaan Mumtaz: How does it feel to be the newest leading lady of Bollywood?
Sheena Shahabadi: It feels great. As far as I can remember, I always wanted to become an actress since childhood. It’s a dream come true for me.
RM: You’ve started your film career working with one of the veterans of Bollywood, Satish Kaushik.
SS: I’ve seen Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai and Tere Naam. The latter can be termed as my favourite Satish Kaushik film. He is an actor’s director and it was great working with him.
SS: Would you work with Satish Kaushik again?
RM: My first director was Robby Grewal. He wanted me in his next film. I did not like my part and had to turn him down. He was upset with me for a while. I told him not to give me a hit film but a hit role and I’ll do it. At this point of time, I want to guarantee my success. Satishji has looked after us for more than a year but even if he doesn’t give me a good part in his next film, I’ll reject it.
RM: What about the term, a kidult love story.
SS: I don’t think that the word ‘kidult’ is funny. It’s like kids who behave like adults later on and that’s why the term ‘kidult’ is used. Even if we have made a mistake. We know how to be responsible for it.
SS: What are your views on a word like ‘kidult’?
RM: Kidult is an American word which says that the young teenagers are like kids but are more responsible than the adults.
RM: Today’s actresses have problem playing the role of a mother. But your debut film sees you as a fifteen year old mother. Were you hesitant?
SS: I wasn’t hesitant at all. I wasn’t scared. I’ve read in the newspapers about fifteen year old girls getting pregnant and similar kind of stories. I think its high time people face the reality and be aware of what they are and aren’t doing?
