9:30 those who came for tigmanshu praise for SRK.

जब तक इश्क़ हैं...उर्दू तो रहेगी ही.. शायरी और इश्क़ के इजहार में यही तो है.. सबसे बेहतर माध्यम

Can’t understand pure Urdu nor pure Hindi,but the present form of the language is such wonderful to listen,Urdu is undoubtfully loveliest language,proud that iska paidaish Hindustan me hua

I am a Maharashtrian and can speak, write and read Urdu. I learned the language with the help of books and without taking help of any person.

मैं पंजाब से बिलोंग करता हूं हिंदू हूं । मेरे पिता उर्दू के इलावा और भाषा नहीं जानते थे । पर आज पूरे पंजाब में उर्दू ढूंढने को नहीं मिलती ।

I'm a Pathan from Peshawar and I can pronounce Hindi names very well. Hindkoh and Pashto are my first and second languages but I love Urdu and Hindi because I believe both are twins, and Hindkoh helps me to understand Punjabi and Siraiki.

I learned Urdu to read jasoosi duniya a very famous detective series at that time in 1955 but I fell in love with this language.Urdu was written as well as used as court language in Punjab so Punjab has the privilege of having finest writers in Urdu and latest example is Gulzar ji who is a Sikh by birth.

Javed Akhtar has a very good grip on history and the urdu language, he is amazing writer and poet👍

اردو ایک بہت ہی مہذب اور شائستہ زبان ہے بشرطیکہ الفاظ کا چناؤ اور مخارج صحیح ہوں۔

Javed saheb ko suno tou bas sunte hi reh jao Javed sir ko sunne me maja aa jata he Respect and love sir 🙌🙌

Salute to javed Akhtar for Urdu from South India ❤🇮🇳👍

Urdu is one of the most beautiful language in the world like Sanskrit. Earlier days, most of movie had beautiful dialogues in Urdu and all our best and beautiful songs were in Urdu since the writers were masters in Urdu. Urdu is language which has lots of respect, humbleness etc and its like a flow of water. And it was only due to Hindi films that 90% of Indians who do not know or understand Urdu language became well versed with the wordings of the language and the beauty of it and thats why Ghazals were such a craze that every body in India could understand and appreciate it. However, these days one hardly finds using Urdu language as Hindi films language has changed and its become more of a fusion mix language which is not pure either in shudh Hindi or Urdu. Basically literature language from Hindi is gone and lost. And I even doubt whether the new generation youngsters of Muslim community ever follow or learn Urdu language and literature except using its words in day to day communication. And hence we see the beauty of Urdu language being lost. We are lucky though that greats like Gulzar and Javed Akhtar keeps alive the flame of Urdu language in our film industry. Ofcourse, when every other language of the world are dying a slow death since today people do not read and follow literature dedicatedly and follow bad English blindly in the belief of development, so Urdu language might also not escape this wrath sadly. If at all we have to save languages like Urdu and other Indian languages, these have to be made compulsory to be taught till 12th standard or Graduation and mandatory to pass in this subject.

30:20 with all due respect sir I fully agree. I'm a Punjabi and I'm already learning urdu. My grandfather did MA in urdu pre independence from Lahore.

Javed Akhtar sir is so knowledgeable person. It pains seeing him getting older day by day. We need to hear him more often. We can learn so much from him.

Javed Akhtar Sir is Raghuram Rajan in the field of art, poetry and literature. His way of thinking and level of knowledge along with its eloquent delivery is inspiring and rare. It's true Bhasha ka shahaz hona is also important along with its greatness.

Faridoon Shahryrar- This man surely has immense knowledge about films and language. This shows in his speeches as well. Great!

21:35 DawaKhana or DawaKaana... Good point دواخانہ یا دواکھانا.... بہت اعلیٰ جاوید صدیقی صاحب Ajkal Baaz Songs or Dialogue me Gh غ ko G... Kh خ ko k... Z ز ko J... Kehte hai... Jo keh Ghalat hain

I am a Punjabi....Two generations back my Maternal and Paternal families lived in Lyallpur and Gujranwala respectively.In 1947, my grandparents had to move to India when they were kids.Its a known fact and my grandparents confirmed it that their medium of education in school was Urdu and Punjabi was MotherTongue.My Nanaji was Matriculate from India but still had done first 3 classes from Lyallpur in Urdu.His writing in Urdu was excellent. How can we exclude both Punjabi and Urdu from each other when they are absorbed in our genetics since generations.....Eh Janani jehdi zyada narazz hoyi hai eh gharon apni Sass nal lad le aayi lagdi.....

Who is the lady arguing with javed Saab... He is legend respect him.

I'm Tamil Hindu and I know to read write and speak Urdu ✋👍

Jo hindustani urdu bolte hain ya bolne ki koshish kartay hai unka lehja phir bhi Hindi sey milta hai.yeh jo 4 log stage pey bethey hain in may sey sirf Javed Akhtar sahab ka lehja or talhafuz urdu bolne walo jesa hai baki dosro ka lehja or talhafuz hindi bolne walo jesa hai.Urdu ek asaan zaban hai lekin is ka talhafuz hindi sey bhot he mukhtalif hai. Shukria

Javed Akhtar sir, u stole the show. You are the "Kohinoor" of India. We are proud of you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that Bollywood quality deteriorated in the 1980s - Tigmanshu thinks so too.

It was a brilliant discussion SUPERBLY Moderated by Faridoon. The questions posed by the moderator were instrumental in evoking a brilliant discussion. I want to see more sessions by Shahryar. He has a deep love for films and urdu. Very good combo.

JAVED AKHTAR ...WOW ..THIS MAN IS LEGEND ...AMAZING ...just want to keep listening to him

Am I the only one who feels the content of there discussion is way to evolved for the audience...

Everytime i watch Javed Akhtar sahab, i fell in love with him more and more.

Javed Akbar Saab, no doubt is a wonderful human being ... incredible & incomparable 👏👏

Urdu bahut khubsurat bhasha hai. Urdu se hi jajbaat hai Labja hai Zaindaagi hai Aur jab Urdu Hindi se mil jati hai tho hamera shahra ki bhasha banjati hai Shahra-Aa- tahajab se Tahe Dil she salam aap sbhi ko

Indeed urdu language was born in Lucknow but now it's migrated to Pakistan as a official language

No competition with javed akhtar .. ❤️ Hr bar ek ehsaan kr jaate hain

Listening to Javed Akhtar soothes my aching soul

Peace Be Upon You all, with due respect! I'm from Pakistan and usually I hardly make comments on YT videos. To be honest, I respect Sir Javed Akhtar, and also every religion for sure, but here apart from other things I'd just react to Javed Akhter's statement denying (TNT) "Two Nations Theory" I mean how he can just simply say that the Two Nations Theory was wrong only because of the matter of Urdu? I'm from Pakistan and I do believe that languages belong to the regions, not religions. And as far as the Two Nations Theory is concerned the matter of Urdu language would might be one of a few points, but it wasn't the only main point of Two Nations Theory. Actually the real motive behind the Muslim's Freedom Movement was the Ideology of Pakistan, and that was obviously the religion (Islam). And no doubt that time in subcontinent generally Muslims were used to speak Urdu (and believe me or not, still people can see that in India Urdu speakers are considered as Muslims, and no doubt they are, that is why this is being questioned in this show as well, but now Urdu has its influence over other languages being spoken in urban areas of India) and also seeing this in the context of the struggle of us Muslims for a separate homeland I don't think so that its fair to say something rough about the basic Ideology of Pakistan even after witnessing the BJP's current state policies and the situation of minorities specially Muslims in India. Long Live Pakistan

I am from Kerala... My mothertongue is Malayalam... I love Urdhu... For its beauty and purity and nice sounding words...

"Urdo" - is a Turkish word meaning "Army/Soldier" . In Mughal era, Pathan , Persian, Turkish and Punjabi fighters were fighting together in the Armmy barracks.. It was a necessity for each fighters to talk and understand each other. That's how this Urdu language came from a mix of majority of the words from Persian, Turkish, Punjabi and local language. Si, this is a language of the Army barracks..Take any word from Urdu..either its from Persian, Turkish , Bhojpuri , Pashto . Its a mix of all thesr languages.!! ( from urdu Hisyory...)

Javed sir is a very knowledgeable person,clever speaker and of course great writer

What an information passed by Javed Akhtar Sahab... love to hear you sir..always

Javed akhtar bahut hoshiyar , tej, aur kya bolun,,,,,,,,,,,, Hai bolna nahin chahta. Enjoy your life brothers THIS IS INDIA. FEEL PROUD TO BE AN 🇮🇳🇮🇳INDIAN 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Faridoon is a very ordinary Host.....he hesitates so much, he makes his questions longer than they should be

we Pakistanis are thankful to Bollywood film industry for keeping Urdu alive

Glad that it came in my suggested feed. Such a pleasure to listen to such knowledgeable speakers. Especially Javed Akhtar.

Urdu is the most secular language.it was born in north india not pakistan.it is the heritage of india.my mother language is urdu. ہیں اُردو قدیم زبان ہندوستان کی شان

Javed Akhtar is a treat to listen...so much knowledge...so much intelligence...!!!

Thank you Mr. Javed Akhtar Sir, you mentioned Bangladesh and our Bangla Language movement against Pakistani Government that time in 1952 (21st February, 1952). Now, it is celebrating as International Mother Language Day world wide. With the respect all the language, every Nation or community should have their own language. From 🇧🇩. Thanks for uploading this important discussion.

Javed Sahab... Really love you sir. You have soooo soooooooo much deep knowledge what you speak about. A lot of respect for you sir.

language region ki ho sakti hai .. religion ki nahi .. massha allah javed sahab

i can listen to Javed Akhtar sir non stop. His each and every word is so deep and real.

Loved the thoughts of Faridoon, agreed with each and every word of his.

I miss those days I wish I could go back then in time and relive all these years again having my present conciousness

javed saheb spoke truth I m big fan of Urdu language

J Akhtar sahab is amazing especially @ 26;56 to 31;25. Thank you.

ہے کہاں تمنا کا دوسرا قدم یارب۔۔۔! ہم نے دشت امکاں کو ایک نقش پا پایا

Shah Rukh Khan ke baare mein charcha na ho aur koi bhi kaisa bhi show poora ho jaaaye…. India mein ye possible nahi hai… #ShahRukhKhanForever ❤

Very insightful! Loads of knowledge. Javed Akhtar sb is an institution.

I'm a Catholic and my mother tongue is Konkani. but i love speaking Hindi & Urdu. I want to learn Tamil as i love watching Tamil films ❤️💯

There are two Javed both are writers and both Urdu lovers. First is sweet, simple, sophisticated, suave like Urdu.The second always wants to score over others..Ask him to produce Ramayan in Urdu and Mughal e Azam in hindi as both episode belongs to same region. Judge yourself for I am the third.

How u can forget Kadar Khan when speaking about dialogue writing and Urdu

It's a pleasure to listen Javed Sahab.

Ye Bollywood interviewer ko host bana diya hay Urdu and adab sharyri ke discussion ka! Jo deserve karte hay unse hosting karaye.

Ye hai mera hindustan Jahan javed akhtar urdu language ki history aur importance bata rahen hai aur saara desh celebrate karraha hai

Javed Akhtar is treat to hear. He is so right in saying language is defined by region and not by religion!

The part which makes me fall in love with Urdu more and more is because of Javed Akhtar Saabs rationalism..and his style of talking. Rationalism is needed more in these times.

Urdu is a beautiful language. Language of songs

I'm Punjabi i know Punjabi ( both Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi), Urdu, Sanskrit, Hindi, Farsi and English. Totally agree with Javed sir.

اردو دنیا کی سب سے خوبصورت زبان ہے

Urdu language KO Farsi aur Arabic language ki help se banaya gaya hai. Urdu mai bahot se aise farsi words aaj bhi bolay jaatay hai and of course Arabic bhi.

Tigmanshu's love for srk 9:58

It's always a treat to listen JAVED AKHTAR

" urdu hai naam jiska Hum hi jante hai daag, Saare jahan me Dhoom hai Hamare zubaan ki"

Lot of things to learn for a writer or a song writer - Listening to this legends

Never knew the kind of shahrukh khan impact have it on bollywood ! 09:58 mins..

Javed Akhtar saab's thoughts and the way he presents them, makes him streets ahead of the other guys!

Javed Akhtar Sahib is a great communicator, writer and poet but he sometimes takes liberty with the truth. In his narration he has stated several things that can not be proven with authentic reference. I still like him.

One of the Best I Watched

I think Urdu's best poet Mr.Allama Iqbal sahab

Urdu has beautiful words. No doubt.

Javed sahab aap lajawab hai, jab bhi aapko sunta hu haar baar andar ka insan urooj par chala jata hai.

"Javed Akhtar" Ki "sander Ki si knowledge" ko Salaam👏👍

They should have at least selected an anchor who could speak clear Urdu (at least without the fillers and conjunctions like.... but, because, and, I think...)
