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.
Only a true indian says America as Umreeka....love his interview and really miss him.
@@mirzakhalidbaig223 nah man Mongols weren't American.
@@mirzakhalidbaig223 maybe they are.
@@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.
Who is watching after Tom sahab's death... Such a great man.. R. I. P
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!!!
Kyo ki aaj kal ke actors koote ke land se budthar hote hain
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.
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.
viky1784
Sridhar Kaushik indians living in usa aren't any better.
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.
I received my first award from Tom Alter in the year 1997 ..
Award for what work??
Tom speaks Urdu so perfectly that would put many of us to shame. Great voice as well. Hats off to him.
Kon Kon Inke bete Ko Janta ha??Jamie Alter ko??

Sir Tom Alter RIP.
Born in India, mastering on Urdu and Hindi language is really amazing.
Achchey log hamesha yaad rahenge.
Tom Alter is a legend
Sahi re chweetyaa
@little neo yes my little boy ❤️
@@warandpeace5034 what is chweetya
@@warandpeace5034 ijkkkkjkkkkkk
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).
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.
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 .
Karthik Sankaran he is Ramesh Deo
पुरी तरह से भारतीय जिसे हमेशा अंग्रेज़ समझा जाता रहा । बहुत ही अच्छे इंसान थे टाम आल्टर साहब बहुत ही साफ हिंदी उर्दू जुबान । बहुत अच्छे अभिनेता
Him introducing his Grandparents as "Marhum",&, "Marhuma" is just....
Even we don't use them anymore as we used to with such clarity. ❤❤❤
Tom Alter is a great actor in film and theater .
LEGEND. huge respect. His son Jamie Alter is carrying the torch, do subscribe his channel.
Even Indian Hindi actors can't speak so fluent Hindi and Urdu.. Respect to this LEGEND
he is indian.he was born and raised india.
Toh? Fluent hindi nahi bolte to kya hua. Even Rajnikanth can't speak good hindi, but he is superstar. We marathi peoppe speak hindi marathi mixed, so what? Read the consitution, hindi is not india's national language.
And you are odia , most odia people also can't speak hindi..
@@rameshshinde1193 he is talking about Indian *HINDI* actors.
@@warisasreya2454 most hindi actors are from maharashtra where marathi is spoken and UP , Bihar where bhojpuri is spoken. 2nd and 3rd generation actors reside in Mumbai and speak English or hindi english mix at their homes. What is the need to speak fluent and chaste hindi?
We Indians are fortunate to claim a great human being and a brilliant artist like Tom Alter as our compatriot.
This man deserves all the respect he gets, one of the best actors alive
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.
Good
Not only speak but urdu pad bhi lete the..😊
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 ☺️
Both Tom Alter and Jamie Alter are amazing story tellers... You can simply sit n listen to them
I like the way he is talking, love from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤💖
what an actor he deserves more respect for his contribution to indian cinema
True..
He was d best..
I have learned so much today. Tom Alter showed the TRUE meaning of Secularism
Manish Kumar true
He was epitome of indianism
मैं हैरत-ज़दा हूँ कि टॉम साहब कितनी बेहतरीन उर्दू बोल रहे हैं ।
बहोत ही उम्दा
"Aazadi aur bigadne mein koi khas farak nahi h" This line is too much relatable in today's time.
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...
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. 👍
Brilliant interview! What a wise man. He represents the true spirit of India.
Uss zamane mein nahi paida hue .. par unn dinon ke baare mein sunte hain to bahut sukoon lagta hai. Tom Sahab ki baatein dil chu gayi. Rip Tom Alter.
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
He is in no way American, he's just a pure Indian. Calling him an American would not be right.
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.
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.
Tom Alter Sahab, aap aise achanak chale Gaye, aap ko Bharat hamesha ek sache Bhartiya ki tarah yaad rahkhega🙏🙏
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
Being Indian isn't a race, it's a nationality. And Mr. Alter is100% Indian by this merit.
मैं भी यमुनानगर का रहने वाला हूं टॉम सब के मुंह से यमुनानगर जगाधरी की बातें सुनकर बहुत अच्छा लगा
But we 90's people remember him as 'Mahaguru' of Shaktiman!!!
I came here afte Jemai Alter
His accent is amazing. He is talking in Urdu accent from western UP. Nice.
Well he was born and grew up in India.
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
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.
Phonsok Ladakhi Phonsok sir.. I am a big fan of yours. I loved u on Kacche Heere with Feroz Khan. Please comeback to Hindi films.
Mr. Tom Alter was intelligent, sensible and thoughtful. ****Rest in Peace ****
Tom alter is such a wonderful Human being and a great actor
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. ❤
Rest in Peace Tom Alter Saheb !
jinu03 rest in peace tom sahab the truest indian !
He is a billion times more cooler then many others
इसे कहते है interview. जहां मेहमान को बोलने की पूरी आजादी दी गयी। बहुत अच्छा।
He understood and explained what is Hindustan. RIP Sir.
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
You're right. People of Pakistan take pride when they speak English than 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..
Ashar Hafeez what did he doing inthese day's
*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।
This is how interview should be done. We don't see anything like this now a days. What a beautiful soul. 🙏🙏
Such a pure soul! Spoke straight from the heart! May his soul rest in peace!
What a way He speaks Hindi and Urdu So Class , This is how it indicates that how much he loves India
He is Indian by nationality, legendary actor with fluent Hindi & Urdu
language
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.
कितनी विनम्रता के साथ interview diye
Tom alter sahab jab ki wo ek bahut hi achche actor the
Video was uploaded in 2016 but all the comments are like from 1 day ago.....

This is one of the finest interview of Guftgoo.... Thank you Irfan Sir for this beautiful interview of Tom Alter Sir!!

शक्तिमान के गुरुदेव हैं 🙏
प्रणाम गुरुदेव 🙏
Tom sir really you are a great person and you have a great soul.. Respect from my core of my heart ♥ and you are always in our heart.
Masha Allah... My Indian languages Hindi and Urdu... How much he is fluent ! Proud to be an Indian 🙏❤
Obviously he is fluent. He was an Indian. He was born in India and lived all his life in India.
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.
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 .
Always a fan of him... And he was very underrated
Such a great personality
May his soul rest in peace
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.
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...🙏🙏🙏
Etna behtareen interview kabhi nahi suna
Wow! Tom speaks very good urdu! Never knew about his generation living there for that many generations.
Both Tom Alter and his son Jamie have the gift of eloquence.
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?
टॉम सर आप ने हमेशा मुल्क से बहुत प्यार किया। आप की शायरी और अभिनय बहुत अच्छा किया। सलाम है आपको।
I respect this man the most....also his son following in
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
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
Tom sahab bahut hi khub urdu bol rahe
His son Jamie alter has a UA-cam channel visit his channel u would know some awesome facts related to him
Who is watching in Jan 2020
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 from Saharanpur, very close to Jagadri, during this interview sometimes I can feel a glimpse of West UP accent in his Urdu..😂😍😍. Your actual accent of that place where you have grown up, never dies. What a wonderful Urdu speaker he is! And a deep intectual personality. 😍😍 RIP dear Tom Sir.
A legend never dies, and you are a lengend...
I'm from Bangladesh.
We really love Tom sir's acting.
Aur urdu bohot accha unka, Masha-Allah ❤️.
tom ki zuban Sun ker Indian actor ko shame aani chahiye kitna saaf bolte hain.
Bhai ye tom alter hindustani hai aur achi Hindi bol rahe.
Aur aaj kal ke bollywood stars english ratt te rehte hai chutiyo ki tarah.
Alia, ananya pande aur sonakshi ko 1 1 zapad lagani chahiye
टिंकू जिया के पिता जी टॉम alter 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
Tom Alter was one of the most precious jewel of the Bollywood industry.
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
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's command over Hindi & Urdu is amazing. Salute to him.
Hats off to Tom Alter Sir but hume Irfan Sahab kee bhi tareef karni chahiye.Itna acha interview liya aur mushkil sawaalo ko kitne sahunoobhooti se poocha taaki bura naa lage Tom Alter Sir ko
