he is true indian..... Doesn't matter about his ethnicity or race or colour of skin.... he's proper indian........I hve lived abroad almost 25 years of live in western Europe... and I hve seen indians living here just for 4 years says they try and avoid saying they are indians and this man says his indian...so proudly.... it's so beautiful... honnestly i salute you sir!
Well that depends. He is not an American but an Indian (though ethnically he is White). As for Indians who avoid saying they are Indians even after living only for 4 years outside India, well it's their problem.
because Indian people Hindus in particular are very acceptable towards other races.. but Europe is not that much secular like India.. they discriminate.. that's why.. Hope this answers ur confusion.
@Aurangzeb Ali what security you mean? This is my 16th year living in Europe and i never tried to hide i am Indian. I accept we had problems in India and it is not as nice as here but i can never run away from the fact that i am Indian and i don't want to hide it. People who want to hide their identity have serious inferiority complex. I am here to contribute to my career, finances and economy of my host country, I respect their values, and development they have done. I am not ashamed of who I am, I have seen Indians walking in Europe, they are sulking, walking with shoulders down, avoiding eye contact when another Indian looking person passing by, not all are like this but 80% for sure. I feel pity for their miserable mindset.
His Hindi/Urdu is 100 times better than most current Bollywood actors; Second his sentences are completely in Hindi/Urdu hardly uses English words at all; Great!!!
There was not true Indians. Real Americans are mongols. When Columbus reach here he called Indians. red Indian Because the native Americans were red Indian breed is brown black
Bilkul sahi kaha aapne....Tom Alter ji was a great actor and a great man. Only a true indian says America as Umreeka....love his interview and really miss him.
@@mirzakhalidbaig223 in a way he is right you didnt understand his intention he meant to say that even he is white he pronounce America in true indian language Amrika, unless some big Indian politicians, actors, and VIP that try to act like americans think they look cool but they look idiot . He is true indian and peoudly speaking decent hindi.
he never said I don't remember the person's name.. every time he said "abhi naam yaad aayega" that says a lot about the person. Amazing diction and command over Hindustani(Urdu).
Karthik Sankaran Hindustani should be revived it gives softness to actors faces and gives sophistication. Today all speak like a boring Hindi professor. I stopped watching Hindi films cause no more pure freshness in dialogues. When they speak Hindi it's like they are fighting making actors look very old and grouchy example Amitabh Bachchan.Leave Hindi for classrooms or special movies. Hindustani and Urdu should be revived for Hindi films again.
First time he used "abhi naam yaad aayega" it i liked it . Second time he used it i smiled . Third time he I already knew its coming and when he used it i felt like i know this person more than some of my office colleagues . Its amazing how just a 1 hour of guftagoo can tell so much about a person . Tom Sir rightly said we shud again sit at chai waalas and do guftagoo with closw friends and talk about regular mundane things rather than cursing the Government or past heroes like Pt.Nehru & Gandhiji .
I have so much respect for Tom Alter. He is a great actor. And a beautiful human being. Your hindi and urdu is so good. I am embarassed by my hindi. You are a true Indian. We are proud of you sir. God bless.
ज़बान में इतनी मिठास उर्दू हिन्दी की खूबसूरती ने दिल में मीठा घोल दिया sir आपने इतनी अच्छी भाषा और उसमें इतनी साफ गोई और साफ सुथरे विचार हम तो धन्य हो गए आप आर्टिस्ट्स नहीं प्रोफेसर थे सर आज तो बस देश भक्ति और देश प्रेम पर बस ढोंग रचा जा रहा है rip sir
It's Sad When He Said "80years k umar me sayad min v padri bann jau"... Sad to hear that he couldn't live that long... But he will always be alive in our heart... RIP 😪
He is talking Urdu in such a nice way MashAllah, Bless Him, Amazing. I wish I could understand pure hindi too as I have urdu as my national language not that I am not proud of it afcourse I am but I have always wished to know & understand pure hindi as well. Lots of Love From PAK t❤ INDIA.
Bhai india m mejority na pure Hindi bolti h, na pure urdu, na pure English Balki Hindustani boli jati h Jitni urdu aap in interview m dekh rahe h utni to hum hindi belt wale samajh lete h but deep urdu hume bhi samajh ni aati even pure Hindi bhi aajki generation ko samajh ni aati ☺️
He Happens to be one of my closest friend...we were class mate at FTII ,in acting course...we know eachother very closely...indeed great person.......great friend,,,great humanbeing.....phonsok ladakhi.
What a brilliant and superb conversation about life by the one and only “Sir Tom Alter”. His command over Urdu language needs a big applause and even more kudos of his love for India 🇮🇳. He taught a massive lesson of equality and that there wouldn’t be any kind of difference if one doesn’t perceive and think that there is!!! I Wish the world would have a vision like Tom Alter, then it would be an awesome blissful and serene place. RIP Sir Tom Alter... You definitely are in a much better place.
*ये वीडियो 2016 में आयी थी* और मैंने *2017* में देखी थी। लेकिन लोगो ने अब देखना शुरू किया, उनके बेटे की वजह से। मैं बचपन से टॉम आल्टर जी का फैन रहा हूँ। वे धरती से जुड़े इंसान थे।
Today I learnt not only about Tom but also about life and the way we should live in a society. He is such a cultured man with great values as a human being. He is also so much worried about today's situation in India, not just in film industry but also in a society as a whole.
An absolutely fascinating interview! What a well- balanced and far- sighted person Mr.Alter was.Wish I had known him personally during his lifetime. It's rare these days to see a true gentleman like Tom Sir.May his soul rest in peace. ❤
he speaks very good clean Urdu. Even in Pakistan now people do not speak such clean Urdu, people use so many English words but this man speaks very very good Urdu
Ashar Hafeez Urdu is a language of Delhi Agra Lucknow.. Pakistanis speak Urdu but we see punjabiyat.. ☺.. Real Urdu is spoken in India even today my dear friend..
One of the best interview i ever watched. Every thing Sir Tom mentioned is worth thinking by the new generation. It is an honour to listen to such personalities.
I can't believe I watched the whole interview. I just didn't want to stop, eventhough right now it's 2:51 am. I am an Afghan and lived in India as kid for 6 years, so I understand Hindi and Urdu very well. Listening to Mr. Alter's sweet conversation was very fresh. Nowadays all Indian actors and people speak English mostly and frankly I'm tired of that. To bahot bahot shukria Muhtaram Irfan sahaab ke aapne yeh interview hum sab ko pesh kia. Allah paak hum sab ko apne amaan mein rakhe, air Puri Asia aur unke logo ko barbaadi SE hifz karen. Ameen. 👍
What a nobel thought Tom Ater Saab, RIP I m here after your son Jamie Alter and you had raised your son well enough to your legacy Thanks for your precious work and being Indian...🙏🙏🙏
बहुत बढ़िया बाते कही टॉम जी ने उनकी बाते याद करने व बताए मार्ग पर चलने वाली हैं। बहुत जल्दी चले गए हम तो भारतीय होने का नाटक करते हैं वो हमें सच्चे भारतीय लगें। हिंदी हो या उर्दू कितना साफ़ बोलते हैं। उनका बेटा भी शुद्ध भाषा ही बोलता है। हमें आपकी बहुत कमी लगती है बहुत जल्द चले गए। सादर नमन
What a mature interview! When I started watching I was wondering what he would talk about for more than an hour. Little did I realize that Tom can talk on a range of relevant topics besides Hindi Cinema, like philosophy, life, and politics. I used to feel sorry for Tom because I felt that if he wasn't so white he would have gone places in the Hindi film industry. But he has little regret. He counts his blessings more than his curses. A wise man! Irfan saab, bring him back again. BTW, the "abhi yaad aegas" are: 1. Sanjeev Kumar & Dilip Kumar's movie: Sunghursh (1968) 2. Jeetendra & Tanuja: Jeene Ki Raah (1969) 3. Anand (1971) doctor: Ramesh Deo
What an amazing and rare personality. Really, intriguing fellow. A bygone era, and a person from that era... really rare to know. Such genuine vibes and so simple, and down to earth.
Forget about his acting or performances, he is a true legend just by his views and talks. No one has such depth in talks even Superstars of India like Amitabh are nothing in front of his intellectual. It's sad that he left us too early...
Great actor Tom Alter and greater is his command over Urdu language. Hats off for Sir Tom Alter. I like his acting and his love for our culture. Masha Allah . Jai Bharat.
Tom Alter is more Indian in spirit than most of Indians. Just amazed at how much he and his family have been rooted in the Indian culture. His language skills are impeccable. The way he recites those Urdu shayaris, his diction of Hindi, Urdu, English, etc. But above all this, what a gentleman and a broad-minded person. Unbelievable! I had tears in my eyes towards of what he was saying... very impressive interview. Possibly my favourite so far that I have seen on Guftagoo. Kudos to Irfan sir too for the way he conducted this interview.
After listening whole interview, I realized Tom Alter was really a great man he was connected by heart with India. I didn't know about him before today and I regret that I could not know about him after living Dehradun for long time.
Tom Alter, a actor par excellence and is evident the way he speaks. Why dont we have him as the Censor board chairman? he is open & progressive and understands the form of art so well, why not?
I must say, the way Irfan ji conducts the show is so mature and fulfilling for viewers, interviewee and interviewer when he asks towards the end, if i have missed anything in asking or if you would like to tell/say..never heard anyone saying such.
I am so much aspired from the personality of Tom sir. Thank you Rajya sabha , That's the reason why I prefer rajya sabha and lok sabha for seeing documentary or any series .
An Excellent Interview. Our great heroes should learn the meaning of modesty from Tom Alter. I had the privilege of meeting him in Muscat in January 2008.He has depth and a true sense of humanism. Dr Surender Bhutani Warsaw (Poland)
Only 2 words for this guy if I have to define him in very short... Classy and intelligent! This is how I define him! Really there are so, so many things to learn from late tom alter ji.. 🙏🏻 Because of people like tom alter ji among a few others like utpal dutt, amol palekar, naseeruddin shah, these kind of actors defined that era of bollywood which was indeed great! Mainstream actors like amitabh bachchan ji don't even count in this league.. At least I feel this way. May God bless him and take care of him wherever he is.
Loved what he mentioned about sitting at the tea shop and talking freely :) I still remember how each moment used to be 15 yrs back at the corner shop where even unknown people had a topic and few cups of teas to fight over. Missing them intensely.
The best Guftagoo on Guftagoo.... What a man... Simple....sober...sensible and systematic.... Respect increased 100x... Thanks Irfan Saab ...for making him talk the way he is..unlike other interviewers who try to direct the person...you allowed him to maintain his flow and natural nature... Thanks Rajya sabha TV for this show...we hope you make this journey go on and enrich us with this kind of mesmerizing personalities.
Tom Alter sahib ka Hindustan aur us ki zubaan se pyar ,kabali taarif hai.Unhu ne desh ko undar aur bahar se dekha hai..He has seen India going through changes and very well said about them.His vision and thoughts are like a Shair.,very thoughtful and in very few words. Raj
Masha Allah (all praises are for The God). Tom Alter was a great actor . I am his fan and his Urdu and Hindu language knowledge is highly appreciable due to high command over the accuracy of accent .
I had certain reservations, at first coz it was already way past mid night, but once the interview started, I couldn't resist the temptation to listen him more, now it's 2:50AM and the interview is over but the lasting impression Mr.Alter had made will last forever...
He was more Indian than most of Indians. He loved India for what it was, immersed into the culture and accepted it wholeheartedly. In a world where Indians just want to go to USA and settle down, he couldn't take it for more than a year. Amazing.
In India only we see such a harmony among people and the whole world amaze at this. I has been in the past and will continue in future. It is Indian culture and tradition. It is in the DNA of all Indians.
वाह TOM SIR वाह !!!...पहली बार पता चला कि आपका मिज़ाज शायराना है । बड़ा ही शानदार अनुभव मिला आपका ये interview देखकर ... और बात रही हिन्दुस्तान के सामाजिक ताने बाने की तो वो हमेशा ही अनोखा और सुरक्षित ही रहेगा । इरफ़ान भाई साहब हमेशा की तरह एक बार फिर सार्थक गुफ़्तगु के लिए बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद।

A great tribute to Tom sir
Great man Tom Sahab tells us the realty of our life.
command of Hindi and Urdu ...is outstanding 👍👍👍
His greatest shot in Urdu was in film Shatranj ke khiladi as Captain Weston.
I received my first award from Tom Alter in the year 1997 ..
Award for what work??
American origin guy calling America Amrika.. True Indian
There was not true Indians.
Real Americans are mongols.
When Columbus reach here he called Indians. red Indian
Because the native Americans were red
Indian breed is brown black
Bilkul sahi kaha aapne....Tom Alter ji was a great actor and a great man.

Born in India, mastering on Urdu and Hindi language is really amazing.
Achchey log hamesha yaad rahenge.

That's what I observed as well, abhi yaad aa jayega... I may use it as well :P
I think he was referrinf to Ramesh Deo.

I have learned so much today. Tom Alter showed the TRUE meaning of Secularism
Manish Kumar true
He was epitome of indianism
I have so much respect for Tom Alter. He is a great actor. And a beautiful human being. Your hindi and urdu is so good. I am embarassed by my hindi. You are a true Indian. We are proud of you sir. God bless.
What a tribute :) well said
"Aazadi aur bigadne mein koi khas farak nahi h" This line is too much relatable in today's time.
what an actor he deserves more respect for his contribution to indian cinema
True..
He was d best..

We Indians are fortunate to claim a great human being and a brilliant artist like Tom Alter as our compatriot.
It's Sad When He Said "80years k umar me sayad min v padri bann jau"... Sad to hear that he couldn't live that long... But he will always be alive in our heart... RIP 😪
I was thinking the same thing madam. We lost a true soul...

Mr. Tom Alter was intelligent, sensible and thoughtful. ****Rest in Peace ****
Brilliant interview! What a wise man. He represents the true spirit of India.
This is one of the finest interview of Guftgoo.... Thank you Irfan Sir for this beautiful interview of Tom Alter Sir!!
Today I learnt not only about Tom but also about life and the way we should live in a society. He is such a cultured man with great values as a human being. He is also so much worried about today's situation in India, not just in film industry but also in a society as a whole.
Ravinder S hindi me baat karr
Such a pure soul! Spoke straight from the heart! May his soul rest in peace!
This guy is a pure Gem. "Ye Naseeruddin Shah ke dushman unki tareef nahi karne de rahe hai". This guy having a pure class also.
what an interview... Kya Urdu ki pakad hai Tom Alter ji ki... Hats off man..
Kya lehja hai... superb..
An absolutely fascinating interview! What a well- balanced and far- sighted person Mr.Alter was.Wish I had known him personally during his lifetime. It's rare these days to see a true gentleman like Tom Sir.May his soul rest in peace. ❤

1. Sanjeev Kumar & Dilip Kumar's movie: Sunghursh (1968)
2. Jeetendra & Tanuja: Jeene Ki Raah (1969)
3. Anand (1971) doctor: Ramesh Deo
What an amazing and rare personality. Really, intriguing fellow. A bygone era, and a person from that era... really rare to know. Such genuine vibes and so simple, and down to earth.
He is in no way American, he's just a pure Indian. Calling him an American would not be right.
i salute tom saheb for his sheer simplicity.what he termed as ''hindustan ka khwab'' is fabulous and we all should strive for achieving it.fantastic.
Forget about his acting or performances, he is a true legend just by his views and talks. No one has such depth in talks even Superstars of India like Amitabh are nothing in front of his intellectual. It's sad that he left us too early...
True amitabh bachan is shit
Agree
What a way He speaks Hindi and Urdu So Class , This is how it indicates that how much he loves India

I met Irfan Saheb also in Warsaw. He is a very cultured person.
Truly said sir...such modesty and humility..rare to see such a personality...

Only 2 words for this guy if I have to define him in very short... Classy and intelligent!
This is how I define him! Really there are so, so many things to learn from late tom alter ji.. 🙏🏻
Because of people like tom alter ji among a few others like utpal dutt, amol palekar, naseeruddin shah, these kind of actors defined that era of bollywood which was indeed great!

May God bless him and take care of him wherever he is.
I feel ashamed after listening to his command over hindi as I am hardly half as good...he is a true Indian and a great one at that...
Sahi keh raha bhai
Great Interview.
I still dont understand why do people dislike such a neutral and normal interview?
This is how interview should be done. We don't see anything like this now a days. What a beautiful soul. 🙏🙏

Respect increased 100x...
Thanks Irfan Saab ...for making him talk the way he is..unlike other interviewers who try to direct the person...you allowed him to maintain his flow and natural nature...
Thanks Rajya sabha TV for this show...we hope you make this journey go on and enrich us with this kind of mesmerizing personalities.
Tom Walter is by far the best Urdu speaker I listened to.. The poise and depth in his voice just adds to the grace
Tom Alter sahib ka Hindustan aur us ki zubaan se pyar ,kabali taarif hai.Unhu ne desh ko undar aur bahar se dekha hai..He has seen India going through changes and very well said about them.His vision and thoughts are like a Shair.,very thoughtful and in very few words.

That depth in his voice, is astonishingly beautiful.
Masha Allah (all praises are for The God). Tom Alter was a great actor . I am his fan and his Urdu and Hindu language knowledge is highly appreciable due to high command over the accuracy of accent .
Never heard of Tom until now. Truly amazed by his personality. Such a kind and respectful person. God bless.
I had certain reservations, at first coz it was already way past mid night, but once the interview started, I couldn't resist the temptation to listen him more, now it's 2:50AM and the interview is over but the lasting impression Mr.Alter had made will last forever...
He was more Indian than most of Indians. He loved India for what it was, immersed into the culture and accepted it wholeheartedly. In a world where Indians just want to go to USA and settle down, he couldn't take it for more than a year. Amazing.
"Hindustan ka khwab", Jo Tom sir Ne Describe kia sach me Lajwab baat kahi
In India only we see such a harmony among people and the whole world amaze at this. I has been in the past and will continue in future. It is Indian culture and tradition. It is in the DNA of all Indians.
Both Tom Alter and his son Jamie have the gift of eloquence.
टॉम सर आप ने हमेशा मुल्क से बहुत प्यार किया। आप की शायरी और अभिनय बहुत अच्छा किया। सलाम है आपको।
Guru Tom Alter respect from Pakistan .
वाह TOM SIR वाह !!!...पहली बार पता चला कि आपका मिज़ाज शायराना है । बड़ा ही शानदार अनुभव मिला आपका ये interview देखकर ... और बात रही हिन्दुस्तान के सामाजिक ताने बाने की तो वो हमेशा ही अनोखा और सुरक्षित ही रहेगा ।
इरफ़ान भाई साहब हमेशा की तरह एक बार फिर सार्थक गुफ़्तगु के लिए बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद।
I like the way he is talking, love from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤💖

Fantastic interview with Tom Alter. Isse achcha Interview maine nahi suna wah hindi kya urdu ka taalmail bahut hi khoobsurat
His command on hindi/Urdu is very ancient and authentic- way better then mine who’s born in India - love from Belgium
कैसी खूबसूरत शख्सियत के मालिक थे टाम आल्टर। पर्दे पर क्रूर अंग्रेज के रूप में देखा फिर फूल खिले हैं गुलशन गुलशन में जाना कि यह शख्स तो पूरा भारतीय है तबसे तो जो मुरीद हुआ आज तक कायम है।
this interview made my day, never knew tom alter was that great by heart!
Piyush Sharma yes
you mean Tom Altered your perspectives? ;)
Being Indian isn't a race, it's a nationality. And Mr. Alter is100% Indian by this merit.
Thank you Irfan saheb for this wonderful interview with Tom Alter.
ultimate episode..Tom is gem of Indian cinema..
thanks Rajya sabha tv
Not easy to find people with such grace and level headedness; able to make their point forcefully but without offence
Tom Alter is a very lucky guy to experience so much and so vivid life experiences in a single life time
