W. Empire pod UK.com. Hello and welcome to Empire Part 2 of a special Q and a episode my name is Anita Arnan

and mine is William Durrenpool we got to be tight on time here because I'm busy women today

You suggesting that I was pausing for too long inita? No, no, no, no.

I have some ways of you to ask me why I'm a busy woman today.

Sorry, I'm sorry, I miss my cue.

I mean, honestly.

Anita, are you starring in a major motion picture this week?

Lord, have mercy.

Oh, let's just talk about you for half an hour.

So I very much enjoy, I was sitting enjoying my own business one evening in Delhi watching the wonderful slow horses when you popped up reading the news.

Much to my surprise because I hadn't expected this and it hadn't been ward.

So I have a side hustle in life. Yes I do have a side hustle in life.

Should I tell you what my side hustle is? I play myself in TV, and in films.

So I have done this before,

I'm going to do that this afternoon

in a major and motion picture.

And if I'm not mistaken, I know you didn't want it out there,

but I can't, because they might cut me out.
