Please make a fully deep reaserch and detailed video on Rajiv Dixit please it's my request.

What do you mean. He is an Indian. There is nothing like real Indian as if he is not from India.
As a fellow Indian who is currently living in Europe, I can completely relate to you...We miss our country every moment.......Nothing can replace mother and motherland.
bhai vapas aajao phr , india me bi jobs ki kmi nhi h . You just need the desired skill set , and you are good to go .
money can and it has thats why ur in Europe
@@mayankaggarwal2937Haa bolne ke liye accha hai agar aapko bhi Europe mein life spend karne ka mauka milega toh aap bhi ise chodne waale nahi ho.
Then why are you here😂😂
That’s what he is explaining. He is working in Europe but his heart is always in india. And why not. One Indian abroad is good for india- soft power representation, potential remittances and one opportunity for another indian in india.
I'm an Australian citizen who has since returned to India. I remember Tom. He must really proud of you.
Do you still have Australian citizenship?
Mad respect who doesn’t run behind money and follow the American dream
Love you brother ❤
I’m in UK and have full plans to settle back in India only. My beautiful motherland ❤
Kuos! I have already done that, returning from the US!
Me too
Living in abroad for past 7 years …returning to India pretty soon..there is no place like mother India
I lived in UK for 12 years and travelled to many countries. And in 2018 came back to the motherland. Super happy with my decision.
@@peterfernandes8472 Then it is even more important to return to or remain in India rather than escaping. Imagine what would have happened if founding fathers of modern India like Gandhi, Ambedkar never returned to their country after completing their studies abroad and settled there dreaming of a "secure" life. It is the duty of the educated Indians to stay in and build this nation first, whoever moves out with the mentality of escaping are no less than the selfish politicians. Besides that, no political party or neta is permanent, parties come and go likewise netas retire and die too. India will not remain the same forever. And moreover the so called "developed" countries are not problem free at all. Infact new social tensions and issues are emerging in the West due to rising number of outsiders from non European countries, you already know whats happening right at this moment in france, switzerland etc,
Jamie, you are doing your parents proud. Love listening to your stories. Take care, be well.
Thanks so much
Proud of you, me lad. If only the momins thought this way.

Very true
That *Quote* truly describes you;
*You can take an Indian out of India but you can't take India out of an Indian* 🇮🇳🚩
Yes we see it all over. The bad manners . Rude . Treating service workers like servants with no respect. Thinking they are better than the citizens of the country they immigrated too. Discrimination, caste politic That s the india they keep!

This is first time I have seen your video and I was shocked when you started speaking hindi in a pure accent 😂😂😂😂 I was wondering how an american looking guy can speak hindi so well and then I realized that you are son of Great Tom Alter.
You are a true Indian and our brother your complexion cannot separate us.❤❤
Brother Jamie...I am happy to hear that from you. ❤❤❤.. My fate has brought me in Europe but every day I think of my mother land. I want tell all those who are longing to leave for western countries...that you may find better job and modern lifestyle here but believe me, the genuine human care n satisfaction of heart n mind, vive of spirituality are certainly lacking here...this is my personal experience
Tom Alter was an Indian legend, so glad to discover his son via UA-cam today. Happy to see his family still active today. God bless you !
Who was Tom Alter?
@@GauravKumar-tq1kw A famous Indian actor and theatre artist. He appeared in many movies and TV serials in the 90's

I actually liked what you said... in fact, it's so refreshing to see a vlogger genuinely speaking his heart out without gimmicks. In a country that sees thousands of natives leaving every day, it's a fresh perspective as to why they shouldn't. All the best for the future, Jamie!
And, your father was a legend. Always loved his work and his decision to make India his motherland. A true gentleman,
I appreciate that.
Absolutely
@@JamieAlterIndiantom sir was our neighborhood , I belong to Dehradun so basically I am your old neighbor as Tom sir used to live in Mussoorie 😂
Oh...I did not you Jamie is the son of legendary India actor Tom Alter...wow...what a lineage..!
Hats off to you Mr. Alter, I am an Indian living in USA always hated India and never went back its been 30 years, you see something in India that I don't.
Honestly, today I found you on youtube and I have to congratulate you because you followed your calling and your heart. Even if it was not India still it was your hearts decision. Miss Tom Alter sir. He was a great actor,human being and legend. Loads of best wishes to all of you 😊❤
इंसान की सोच ही उसका चरित्र बताती है आप एक अच्छे और सच्चे इंसान लगते हो जैमी, अपने पिता की तरह। शुभ कामनाएं 🎉❤
स्नेह आपका
ये देश जितना हमारा उतना ही आपका है। आप बहुत कीमती नागरिक हो भारत के लिए।❤लव यू मेरे भाई जेमी ऑल्टर
Jamie, your Dad was a great actor - as we watched him performing on Doordarshan and movies. Never considered him as an outsider. You are as much Indian as anybody else born in India. 🙏🏻
आप तो भारतीयों से भी अच्छी हिंदी बोल रहे हैं सर😅😅😅
Jai Hind ❤❤
Jamie is 100% Bhartiya. Looks like you have not heard his dad’s Hindi. Tom Alter(RIP) love you.
Befkoof wo Indian hi hai.
Always be Bhartiya by Heart ❤️ Lou
Woh Bharatiya hi hai. Yahi toh keh raha hai
Jamie bhai u r a true Indian n in every sense the best patriot of India... u always respect Indian traditions n culture n that's what India is all about....we welcome anybody who can live with peace be it that person is a hindu or not...proud of u Jamie bhai😊😊
Very kind of you.

Love you, Jamie...! God bless..!! ❤❤
You will never know how true your statement is . I am a 4th generation Indian emigrant by ethnicity . I am 57 years old. I have never set foot on Indian soil but every iota of my soul aches with a longing to be reunited with Bharath.

First time saw your video. Felt so happy, love you Jamie, a true patriot.
Wow, thank you
Your story is pretty eye-opening for those who think every dream would be completed by reaching America and Europe , its great pleasure to see you in India ❤ love from Maharashtra
You are more indian than many indians.
आपकी भाषा सुन्दर है, सटीक और भारतीय संस्कृति के सौरभ से सुगंधित है.
जुग जुग जियो ❤
मैं विदेश में रहने वाला एक भारतीय हूं और भाई आपकी बातें सुनकर भारत आने के लिए प्रेरित हो। जो अनुभूति आपको होती है वही अनुभूति भारत बार-बार खींचता है। मैं आपको पूर्ण तरह समझ सकता हूं।
So so true. I got married in Canada and it’s been 15 years and believe me there is no single day that I do not miss India. India main jo sukoon or apni mitti ki khushbu hai wo sari duniya main kahin nahi. Of course you can have a luxury life but not the Indian feeling. I wish one day I move back to my mother land and I want to take my last breath in india 🙏. Jai Hind jai Bharat
Literally Swades 🥹
Stumbled accidentally on this video; knew KK/Tom Alter; did not know Jamie. Every NRI should watch this video to understand how a person should listen to his/her heart. Loved it.
Jamie, we loved your dad. He didn't get as much exposure as he should have in movies. Nevertheless, happy to hear that his son is doing well in his place of birth. Keep going. Son!
Not just me, my mom too was a Tom Alter fan. Though I knew how proficient Mr Alter was in Urdu and he wrote his memoir in the language, I was pleasantly surprised to hear you speaking Hindi so fluently. It is very impressive!
Truly Inspirational,
Jamie you are incredible Indian ,Jay Ho 🙏😊💓🇮🇳
You are correct, and I comprehend your decision. Being a software professional, I have had numerous opportunities to establish my family's residence in a foreign country. I strongly disagree with the notion that some individuals conveyed to me, suggesting that I'm forgoing a significant chance for a better life - a truly prosperous life. What exactly defines such a life? In my view, it's the sense of pride in one's origins and a peaceful state of mind. I genuinely take pride in the fact that you've made some crucial decisions in your life and have discovered your authentic path.
Great decisions 👏 I think Tom Alter Sir's love for India,Indian cultures, and cricket 🇮🇳 influenced you very much
Sir you are true Indian, because here some people arranging fake documents to enter foreign country but you came here serve your nation. You are truly inspirational.
Very nice Sir , You are great and a real Indian.
I was shocked when I first saw you in a video speaking Hindi how an English man clearly can speak Hindi but reality is you are an Indian.
I also returned from US and Germany. I love my India 🇮🇳
Jamie we love you yaar. You were, you are, and you will always remain an Indian like your father. 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Bhai - this completely makes sense. I have worked in many countries but i never ever felt like even once that i can belong to those nations. I generally say to my mom .."Maa working in foreign land is like a curse" ...
I remember in 2018 i came back from London - landed at Mumbai airport ( at around 11 pm ) - i had tears in my eyes and was searching for some chai ki tapri - coz i was hell depressed in London.
Jai Hind.
😮
Me too bro
Dil dimag sab indian hai es mitti se pyar hai jinhe laut ke zaroor aate hain ❤ salute you bro😊
" आप वही के हो जहा आप पैदा हुए हो " , इससे बढीया और खुबसुरत सोच तो कुछ और हो ही नही सकती जेमी . You are as Indian as your father was or infact more than those Indians who often dream & take pride in settling in the U . S . Salute to your patriotism Sir .
U should never forget your roots....this man is the perfect example of this quote...❤️🇮🇳
I'm a big fan of your Dad. I Ioved him in Kudrat and Aashiqui. And his grasp of both Hindi and Urdu - mashallah! May he rest in peace. Om Shanti
I think you absolutely did the right thing! I left India 50 hrs ago and lived in Canada and USA. Now that I am retired I truly miss India and every little thing about India.
I was born in India and did my engineering in India before leaving but by the time I left India I was fully groomed by Indian culture, songs and cricket. I wish I had your courage to come back and retire in India. Retirement and general social
Life is just not what we have in India. Miss India and will always will!
Bhai sahab!.. I just came upon your youtube channel and I'm addicted. I didn't know Tom Alter had a son. Listening to your story brings tears to my eyes.. because at a time when most people who can afford it are migrating to western countries.. you literally did the opposite purely out of your love for Indian culture and your passion for cricket and more importantly, built a good life with the opportunities here.. Lots of hipocrites like me will sing songs like "Saare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan hamara" but look for better opportunities elsewhere at the drop of a hat.. but you're a true inspiration and also a slap to my face.. as an Indian. Huge respect to you!!
Very kind of you. Welcome to this channel. But don’t say things like slap on the face. That isn’t correct. Much love.
You are really great and true patriot sir you could have easily settled in America but you decided to return to India and contribute in its development. ❤

Kudos to you for following your heart and sharing your story with us!!! You are so good at sharing your story!!!! Saw you in the Archies movie and got curious about your background. Just discovered you’re Tom Alter’s son! I grew up watching him on tv! Loved your acting in the Archies movie!!! You are such a creative and love how expressive you are! I felt the same way when I first moved to the States and wanted to come back.
Thanks for you kind words, and welcome aboard.
Jamie your true Indian and good man respected Tom alter always live in our hearts ❤ 😊
Your father was an exceptionally exceptional Actor. He was a Legend. His contribution to Indian Cinema will always be remembered.
Exactly❤❤❤❤❤
Your father was a friend of my father. Visited our place many times in Khar. I remember being in awe of your father for his impeccable Punjabi and the way he called my mum 'bhabhiji'. Have fond memories of your father. And I did not miss Benjamin Gilani either in your video. Another visitor at our place in the 1980s. Those were my childhood days
Living in the Southern Hemisphere now , I totally appreciate where you are coming from.
Yes, Tom Alter sahab was a gem❤❤❤❤❤.
Proud to have an Indian brother like you! Big fan of Tom Alter ji! I also lived in US for many years but came back to India. True that India is my country. ❤
Love and respect Jamie ❤
Jamie bhai, you are like a big brother! Hope you are always happy.
Very sweet of you. Same to you.
We are very very proud to have you and your deceased father Shri Tom Alter Sir ji as a fellow Indian. Shri Tom Alter ji was an asset to Indian television and we truly miss him very much. May his soul rest in peace.
Not just television, he was more about stage and movies. Such an outstanding actor.
I also guessed he might be related to Tom Alter. Thanks for the info.
I like the way you think and your persona is built. I won't be wrong in saying India needs more "Indians" to be like you. Appreciate your feelings about your birth place and home land.
A golden heart and a superb human being totally devoted to India and the fellow Indians!!!!! Braveheart......Mr. Tom Alter (Jnr..!!!)
Jamie sir I'm a fan of Tom alter sahab. It's not just because of movies but for his intelligence, his love for poetry (shayri). The way he recite the ghazals was amazing. His personality, The depth in his voice, that intensity.
Wish you the best.
Very kind of you, Ashish.

So nice of you

Your story is inspiring Jamie, I can imagine your hard work and dedication towards your passion and sacrifices you had during the journey. At the end of the day you are happy that is more important.
Oh wonderful! Never knew this. I too had decided in my childhood that I may work for a few years in another country but will always come back home to India.
It's always great to hear a True Indian like you Jamie.
My parents are pursuing me to look for a groom working and settel in USA UK Canada and other so called "developed country" But I told them i will marry and continue to Live and Die in my motherland. Jay Hind Jamie Bhai 🇮🇳❤
Wish ,you could give tutorials to all those youngsters leaving India for America , Australia ,Canada ,or other parts Of the world ,expecting life to be better there ❤
Amazing video! Thanks so much for uploading this dear. God bless you always. You, your father and your family are great treasures of this country, and we are proud of you! 🙂❤️
Jamie, you are awesome, just like your dad. Love to your mum and family. Thank you for all that you do for India
Good one, Jamie. Someday, I want to hear you recite poetry like your father did!
Thanks for listening. But as for poetry, I am nowhere close. Sorry!
Bhai you are very well spoken. I stumbled upon your channel while browsing , very Glad i did !
You are Real Indian !
Just recently found your channel while reading for Anglo Indians for an Interview. I'm more happy to find a youtube channel which spreads positivity and cherishment. Thanks keep sharing.
Bhai, Born in India, I moved to America in 2nd Grade, Come visit every 2 years. Doing my Phd in US, but I feel you and can empathize on so many levels. Thank you for sharing bro. We are Indians!
You are great Indian citizen. We feel proud.
Your life story is awesome brother! May God give you even more success and fulfillment in life.
Quite an inspiring story of a man who combines Indian and American ethos and prefers to live life by what his heart tells him 😊
You have your dad's flair for speaking - James. I am born in 1985 and I grew up watching your father in the movies. I used to marvel at how wonderfully he spoke pure Hindi. He was a great actor.
I have same feelings like you ❤ proud to be indian 🇮🇳
Jamie bhai much love to you….your father was a great gem, a great personality and a true Indian by heart. Wo Urdu me bhi utne fluent the jitne hindi me… you make us proud. Love from a lost Indian in Canada 😌😌
Very nicely explained, Jamie! I remember meeting your Dad & Mr.Naseeruddin Shah at Prithvi theater in Bombay in 1979 when I went to watch an English play called “Zoo Story” in which only the 2 of them acted and there are no other characters in that play! Very gripping psycho story with lengthy dialogues in it and they both acted so incredibly well! Both were so humble & simple that they were standing by the ticket desk meeting, greeting & thanking every person who bought a ticket to watch the show! I can see that same sort of simplicity & humbleness in your videos now! Interesting, you mentioned you were in Boston. I was born & raised in Madras but have been living in Boston for 30+ years now! I am glad you’re living your dream in India very successfully! Wish you the very best! God bless.
You are lucky that you left india
US have better lifestyle 6:42

Wow, sir. Thank you for sharing your memories. The Motley days at Prithvi.

I am 68. I left india at 22 after IIT, spent 26 yrs usa, always longing to return, then 20yrs india again till now. My experience is, given my temperament, India of late is too much worse than the India I grew up in, particularly the people, mind boggling downhill which i had not anticipated, now sick and tired of india and planning to settle back in usa. Such is life.
This happens when heart is Indian no matter what the colour of Skin is. Indian s lov u Jamie❤❤❤❤
Every Indian knows your father. He was a wonderful actor.

jamie bhai - aapke pitaji ko hum indian logo ne bahut aadar satkar pyar diya .. isliye jab aap paida huye to aapko DIVINE INDIAN DNA hi mila h. Agle kam se kam 50 saal India ko hi dedicated rahenge... isliye aap 100% sahi jagah par ho.

Very motivating and straightforward approach to life who lives his life by heart
Born and brought up in UAE, after living a splendid life in the country which I used to call my home country, 35 good years and decided to come back to my real home country INDIA. Was hard in the beginning, as time went by now after 2 years…it’s comfortable living here as well.
Mr you are born and brought in UAE but you can not get permanent resident in UAE that why you come to India
Like Father, like Son. You brought happy tears to my eyes. ❤
I’m so happy to stumble upon your video. It immediately took me back to the past when I used to visit Tom ji’s home in Mumbai to repair / service his PC. Most often I found him watching cricket and hockey matches on TV, especially whenever India was playing rival teams. It’s nice you inherited the same fondness for the game of cricket. Best wishes to you in your creative endeavours. Jai Hind 🇮🇳🙏
I had the honour of using your dad’s Hindi voice for a TV show I was a part of many years ago! Great to come across your channel today. I grew up in Dehradun, Uttarakhand the state that your dad loved and now I live in the UK 🇬🇧
I do miss India 🇮🇳
Mr Tom Atler would have been proud of you. People like you make everyone feel proud to be Indian.
भारतीय लोग सिर्फ पैसे और सुविधाओं को ही सबकुछ मानते हैं बल्कि सच्चाई यह है पैसे और सुविधाओं से खुशी नही मिलती खुशी हमेशा अच्छे स्वास्थ्य और अच्छे संस्कारों से मिलती है चाहे आप गरीब क्यों ना हो
His dad was a great person - basically every Indian from the 80s knew him from either TV or an art film. 😄😄.. happy his son is back in India - waiting for my US Citizenship and as soon as I get it next year, I apply for my OCI card and return to India too!
Proud of you 👍 !! It was not a very easy decision 💪🏿🇮🇳 !!!!!
Thanks Jamie for sharing your thoughts
My pleasure. Thanks for listening.
I am feeling like I am listening my own story... Decided to return to India from US at the age of 29..
You're a true Nationalist brother... Kuch log tho essa chance milta tho wahi settle ho jata but you came back to your country 🇮🇳... Jai Hindustan 🙏🏽🇮🇳❤️
I cant forget 4 times meet with Shree Tom Alter Sahab [FTII entrance exams time]. I sung "Tere bina zindgi se koi shiqwa" for him in our first meet, and after every time we met, he asked me to sing it again for him.. It was heatbreaking to see his missing hand thumb in our last meet... Miss you sir 😢❤️
Sir,you are 100th persent correct.and you have taken right decision to return Bharat.❤
Your story will inspire many Indians who left India for better life to return back to matrubhumi....Jai Hind
That's why jamie I appreciate you.. a true indian, independent of religion or color..
Given the fact the 2nd majority prefers religion over nation... You should write a book to guide minorities..
