Satyen Kappu & Tom Alter: Voh yaar hai jo khushboo ki tarah. Voh jiski zubaan urdu ki tarah. RIP!

[@prakasharjunbodwade]

Both of them fine actors, way back when I first saw Tom Alter in movies Charas starring Dharmendra, Hema malini I thought he's foreigner, after many years i came to know he is Kashmiri , speaks fine urdu, It was surprising to me

[@sandeshdutt4742]

He was not Kashmiri..by origin he was an American..from Dehradun..an English and a sports teacher before joining Bollywood..at my school where I studied m

[@malvinderkaur541]

Tom Alter was only indian Gora who got all lengthy ' talkie portions as actor , and Bob christo only remained as " ha,ha,haha, tooooooom humse ladega local native😊

[@heiftonheifton9412]

Men are defined by character, not by race or blood or any other heritage.

[@bhojjadamotabanda]

There is no reason to compare the two. Tom Alter was Indian, Bob Christo was Australian. The only thing they had in common was their skin colour. Bob Christo was born and grew up in Australia, didn't know Hindi, Tom Alter was born and brought up in India. You might as well compare Bob Christo with Satyen Kappu, saying that Satyen Kappu got all talking roles. You are only concentrating on skin colour.

[@iqbalansari1985]

Satyen ji ki zaban ke aage bade bade actors Ki zaban feeki hai
