In this day and age when we are realising the importance of mental health and work-life balance, if an organisation head says there are no Sundays and you have to put the job above your partner, then there is something seriously wrong with their work culture. As they say, when you're old and you look back at your life, you won't think about the Sundays you worked but the partner you lost.

[@sowmyab506]

True. Considering it’s not even a medical or emergency profession!

[@aninditasaha2676]

So true. They are behaving as if they are saving the nation. An army guy a doctor a public servant says i can understand the reason

[@malihah23]

hats off! great interview i would get panic attacks if someone would call me at 2 am from work! Kudos to all who are doing this..not easy

[@sankhalika]

It would be amazing if you could cover more information on who all are part of the entourage of celebrities. There's a manager, a publicist, hair, makeup, etc... What else? Curious to know 🙂

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

Stylist, spotboy.

[@tanushreesantra7748]

Stylist plzzz

[@Lppt87]

What’s a spotboy?

[@manishajoshi7815]

i love these episodes. Used to miss these episodes for a long time. So good to see these episodes back slowly slowly.

[@C02754]

Nice interview..there needs a proper realistic series on Agents/managers ...revealing ins & outs of their professional life & impact on their personal life. call my agent Bollywood series doesn't do justice with real life of agents. There needs more unraveling. Agents real life incidents, stories, how did they grab Brand deals , global events for their client/star ...& their everyday hustle would make really good series.

[@huda111]

I've always liked her personality and her talent and I definitely missed seeing her often on screen. Thanks for interviewing her❤❤

[@faryus88]

What a brilliant interview! Thanks for doing this. Sounds like an amazing job space.

[@vaidehiwadkar7372]

Ohh i love this segment...pls do more of it... would love to know a little bit more about the people who are working behind the cameras ❤️

[@Amit-oj4ho]

Sneha Ranveer Singh interview would be great ❤ And should be casual walk like this one. AND i wanna see a competition of abs between Sneha and Ranveer 😍

[@cnb89]

Insightful interview but honestly it sounds like hell working for this person. “Lose your partner or figure out a way to work all day and make it work” is not worth any kind of perk that comes with this kind of job.

[@mysticalhuman]

being a talent manager is a high stress and a thankless job, only people who love the idea of hustling all the time and travelling nonstop would be ideal for this job.

[@S_Parveen]

Its a shit job…where is your mental peace if you constantly thinking about the other person..

[@aritrikaroy4286]

I just want to say what an interview ❤loved it & hats off to Jaya🎉

[@akkumehra14]

Sounds like a horrible place to work at. In an age where mental health and work life balance is of utmost importance, no Sunday and no day off policy shouldn't be encouraged. Thank you for making me love and respect my job 10 times more.

[@priyankaghosh2795]

true, if I was fired today even then I wouldnt take up this pathetic role !

[@ankitgupta1313]

Sneha mam always know the balance of asking fan question and making sure the guest is in his comfort zone. Always the best conversation from the cheet sheet series 🎉

[@ketanrana7167]

m gonna dm madhur bhandarkar abt this intresting proffession ....film should be made on this one

[@rdbtumpy]

This is one of the best interviews of FC offlate.. got to know about things which are not there in public domain...

[@ridhimachawda]

You must speak with Chaitanya Hegde at Tulsea to speak to him about everything films and talent. This isn't a wholesome video when it comes to talent management.

[@manasa9344]

May be next time you can ask what’s the salary range as well to help the aspirants

[@Pixietink]

Interesting! Wld love more behind the scenes interviews like this

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

Coming soon!

[@Pixietink]

@@FilmCompanionStudios glad to hear that!! Thankyou

[@vikashande2372]

This is new n amazing info to me. I thought the agents and managers disappeared after the digital age as everything literally is on fingertips and online. Good to know about them.

[@rishiraaj.580]

Talent - First. New People Seeing This Should Not Get Attracted To Only Glamour Part Film Industry. They Must Know The Reality. 😐 👍

[@rishiraaj.580]

[@nehawasnik9623]

no amount of access to the film industry and fashion industry is worthy of one's mental health and balance in life.

Isn't she the same person who was called the kingpin of the drug Case by NCB?

[@C02754]

Cheat sheet is back...yo

[@yourfuturedoctor8036]

Isnt she the one who was in kwaan ? In drug case of ssr death

[@rupakhanna9282]

How unprofessional is this interviewer- jeans with an elastic waistband, a figure hugging top- really is this all she had available in her closet?

[@JaiMaharashtraMazha]

It's a Haphazard Job They Don't Respect Your Time Anytime you would be Fired As it's all about a person I would rather suggest be your own boss not a Slave

[@Finnola]

It must be unfortunate that actors and actress are seriously approaching their profession in regards to branding, image and all that. As an audience its visible what actors have turned out to be and can see how much effort is put on craft vs job that focuses on how to be the best product. Celebrity managers have become the most important part of an actors life.

[@Sanj193]

Branding is not just about actors/actresses.. I'll give you a simple example.. If you are in a job interview, basically you're trying to market yourself so that they choose you.. That is also similar to branding! Or let's say you're buying a soap.. There are so many soaps available but you choose a brand which you find nice.. Basically any actor/actress/even director/producer comes forward to market their film as a product, that film is known by their names or their face.. That is branding.. Their art nd craft or any skill comes along with that.. So the actor takes care of their craft while the manager takes care of branding them.. This is in a very general sense but basically that's the idea of branding!

[@Sawmxo]

No thanks, I’m happy with my 9-5 job than service celebs 24/7.

[@vikash7328]

Doesn't she look like Bhoomi Pednekar?

[@rishiraaj.580]

There Are Lot's Of People Working Behind Shining Faces Of Actor's, Actresse's. 😐

[@sid.469]

Ya and that's job

How can we be a celebrity manager ?

[@Akshitaa.98]

I too wanna know

[@Amit-oj4ho]

Sneha has such a fabulous body. Don't know why she's hiding her super-toned abs😍🤷

[@sumeetchauhan1024]

Sorry but i am not able to understand the exact need of this job. Casting agency can map the suitable talent against an opportunity. Unnecessary branding is a delusion for a celebrity and audience. These days everything is online - extremely accessible by phone/emails. Probably actors should use their time & brain effectively and these agencies should do more meaningful with their lives. I understand somehow its working currently but its not long term... The lady felt to genuine

[@phenomenal14U]

What's that just go for Did he farted or something in the background 😁😁

[@sammyjohn.production4783]

All she tells is not pure true u should interview who worked here & is retired worker and is mad at this org 🤪😜 no more there then true will spells but this is tathwr half half baked we wana hear he she charged this much and this actress is temper head etc etc

Bubblegum princess ? Wtf....

[@ratnamukherjee2148]

Toxic toxic toxic AF!

[@AshokKumar-rg5th]

Why in English....??

[@aamirkhan943]

Because it is not legally and/or morally wrong to produce English language content in India. It is a choice that the content creator is free to make.

Toxic AF.
