Walk The Talk: Ustad Bismillah Khan (Aired: May 2005) 

He is bharat ratan but look his simiplicity of living... Great man..

Ustad Bismillah Khan Sahab is one of the greatest Ambassadors of Indic Civilization and its magnanimous nature

रोना आ गया . आज क्या कल्चर कर दिया लोगों ने। ऐसे व्यक्ति को मेरा शत शत नमस्कार। क्या सादगी है। वाह उस्ताद।

मज़हब एक है, दो हो ही नहीं सकता। वाह उस्ताद वाह। 🙏

Shekhar says: Mai shukraguzaar ho Aapka. Khan Sahab: khali bakwaas Karne ke liye hum thodi se Urdu jaante hai. Baaki Sangeet. What a guy! RIP

कला का कोई धर्म नहीं होता। यह वे लोग थे जिनकी जेबें नहीं बल्कि दिल अमीर हुआ करते थे। उस्ताद जी को शत् शत् नमन।

आज तक तो इस महान आत्मा का नाम ही सुना था but आज देख भी लिया ।सलाम है इस हस्ती का ।

Ustad said one thing and it really touched my heart, "Stones are the same inside and outside the temple. You sprinkle water from Ganga inside the temple and I just put my hand outside the temple". What a beautiful blessed soul

शत शत नमन।। "भारतरत्न" उस्ताद श्री बिस्मिल्लाह खान साहब जी को।। आप सच्ची आत्मा थें।

He was so talkative, humble, intelligent person. Miss this legend

खान साहब का संगीत से लगाव कुछ इस तरह से था जैसे एक छोटे बच्चे का अपने खिलोने से होता है। आत्मा प्रसन होगयी इतने गुणि सभ्य और सच्चे इंसान को जान कर। NDTV को धन्येवाद।

एक भारत रत्न ये भी थे एक भारत रत्न सचिन भी है जिनके आगे पीछे 50 कमांडर रहते है सलाम है इनकी सादगी पर सलाम इस महान हस्ती को

true son of india! a gem, a jewel, a true epitome of secularism. proponent of the Ganga Jamuna tehzeeb. a ratna of our great country. fanatics of religion, we need more such sons of the soil.

He is such a talkative old man.Always has something to tell.Great to hear him.

I appreciate RU-vid for recommending this precious walk the talk to me. Thank U RU-vid.

Fortunately maine Khan sahab ka live concert first row mein baithkar suna hai. At the age of around 85 he was playing shehnai, it was miraculous. I still remember

He is a bharat ratna and look at his simplicity...Respect for the great legend 🙏🙏

इतनी उम्र में भी उस्तादजी बडे ही खुशमिसाज कैसे रहते थे... हमारे भारत रतन...

Mujhe is ghar main Jane ka sobhagya mila hai such a legendary artist ❤

Banarasipan flows all over his expressions and talks,... Absolute devine ❤

फटी धोती तो सिल जाएगी मगर सुर फट गया तो वो नहीं सिलेगा :- बिस्समिला खाँ❤❤

look at his simplicity.. look at his discipline... look at his precious words...

As a 10th grader we read about him in a chapter 'Naubat khane Mein Ibadat' ❤❤❤

यह है असली भारतीय शास्त्रीय संगीत 👍👍 उस्ताद बिस्मिल्लाह खान जी हमेशा हमारे दिलों में रहेंगे उनके संगीत के माध्यम से 👍👍👍

एक संत है जो बस गा रहे हैं, एक मंदिर की घंटी है जो ओंकार जप रही है ,एक अजान है जो गूंज रही है,vएक गंगा है जो बह रही है, एक सांस है जो जलते धूप के धुएं की तरह महक रही है. यह कभी खत्म नहीं होगी

एसे महान इंसान दुनिया मे बोहोत कम होते है आप सबके दिलों दिलो में हमेशा जिंदा रहोंगे ,आपकी याद हमेशा आएगी दिल से

उस्ताद बिस्मिल्लाह खान जी को मेरा कोटि कोटि परणाम 🙏🙏 आप हमेशा हमारे दिलो में जिंदा रहेंगे❤️❤️❤️ भारत की शान थे है और रहेंगे 🙏🙏

*In 2005 Ustad Bismillah Khan was 89 years old but you can see how energetic he was.* ❣️

Simplicity of this Bharat Ratna made me think about life, aspirations and Goal. Hats off sir ✌👏👏

apki charno me mera koti koti pronam Ustad Bismillah Khan sahab...

सिर्फ़ सच्चा संगीतकार ही इतना ज़िन्दा दिल हो सकता है । 🙏🏻

भारत रत्न शहनाई वादक उस्ताद बिस्मिल्लाह खान साहब की सादगी और साफगोई के क्या कहने ! एक शानदार कलाकार को श्रद्धांजलि 🙏🏼🇮🇳

God comes to earth through such souls.The most beautiful face I have seen is this smiling old man's face, peace and innocence captivating and radiating .His music directly touches your soul.

Divine being ! Simplicity personified ...Real Bharat Ratna

Currently i am reading in class 10h CBSE BOARD after 2 day's there is my HINDI EXAM AND I SAW THIS VIDEO TODAY AND SEEN HIS BIOGRAPHY TOTALLY INSPIRING....padhte to hum sab log hai but 99percent log rata marte hai. Kabhi usko feel ny kiye...aaj ye chapter feel ho gya ..

Purane log kitne sachche, kitne achche, wah

Oh my god! At first glance I cud not belive he is Ustad Bismillah Khan!! Simple and humble person..

This 9 minute video finished in 9 seconds in my experience

If people starts thinking like you,no one will hate each other. Mazab ek hai,bas naam alag hai. My respect to you

India is proud to be having this type of extraordinary talent. A man of golden heart. A rare quality in a human being. A true Muslim. A respectable Muslim.

THE INTERVIEW IS IN HIS OWN HOUSE OF SHREE BISMILLAH KHAN SAB, WE MUST LEARN THE SIMPLICITY FROM BHARAT RATNA, NOT ONLY LEARN MUST FOLLOW.

Excellence is not a accident... It is the result of continuous practise and efforts... It requires continuity with same intensity... Bismilla khan sahab is one of the best example... ❤️

Mujhe such me rona a rha h,bhut sukoon bhi mil rha h...,he is defining a legend.🙏🙏🙏🙏 Mujhe garv h ki me inke desh me paida hua. London me inhone kha tha ki "me km bolunga kyunki jo bolo vo krna bhi padta h"..and now see he did it.

Bharat Rattan Ustaad Bismillah Khan ji ko mera Salam hai Ji.. Kya zazba hai iss Umr mein.

For all those who think his state was pitiable etc. IT WAS NOT.. he was a more down to earth person than all of us together. He always had a choice and he chose to live that way. And that is more appreciable that anything else. That's the purity of his soul. His only love was his music and his instrument. The way he smiles when he talks about his shehnai can never be seen on anyone else's face. But NDTV please think of a better guy to interview. He was so much hasty and lacked the necessary emotion to interview such a passionate person. Thanks to his(Ustaad's) humble nature that he never noticed that glitch, and was happy talking and sharing his experiences. Rest in peace Bismillah Sahab. You are irreplaceable.

Khan saheb is divine in his smile and talk. He is so happy living at that age showing us all how life should be lived. RIP Ustad ji.

कलाकार अपनी परम सादगी से और ऊंचाई पाता है | खाॅंनसाहब इतने बडे कलाकार होकर भी down to earth है | ' भारतरत्न ' की यही सच्ची शान हैं | 🙏🇮🇳

I am fortunate to attend his shehnai concert in a marriage function in Nellore dt some 50 years ago. Some of the local musicians made a beeline to meet the legend. The warmth and happiness he expressed towards the artists is still fresh in our minds. The simplicity he shown at that time reflects his sitting on an ordinary cot and living simple life.

I am shocked to see such a great man in such a state. Respect to him. Rest in peace Sir. A great human being

Pranamams to Bharat Ratna... So humble, So down to Earth...

शत-शत नमन करते हैं भारत के कोहिनूर हीरे भारत-रत्न जी🙏💐

3:52 not only a great shehnai player, but a marvellous singer too...

How Simple and Elegant! What a Genius! Amazing! What a Big Heart and Thought. Great.

I salute to real Bharat Ratna Ustad Bismillah Khan for his saying that there is one religion and there no differences and music has no religion.We are proud of you Khandab.🙏🏿

Oh ! What a mature personality..great achiever yet so simple...his music reaches celestial levels..

दिल खुश हो गया बिस्मिल्लाह खान साहब का वीडियो देख के । कितने सुलझे हुए इंसान थे। पूरी जिंदगी शहनाई को समर्पित कर दी।

USTAD JI AAP KE JAISA KOI HOGA NAHI

What a level of modesty and purity of soul!

Still it is shameful for our country that this legend lived in such deleterious conditions. Shame on government.

What a fine man! We need more people like him today who are beyond religion just worshipping humanity and their talent with pure heartedness.

I love this man, the simplicity captures you when he speaks with smile, such a great man, unforgettable, love you sir numerable times.

I never saw talking like this, loved his simplicity even being a celebrity and Bharat Ratn.

Gem of our nation. Ustad Bismillah Khan Saab was a Bharat Ratna Awardee but his simplicity level was amazing. Rest In Peace.

My deepest love and respect to you Ustadji ,you will always be remembered as God of Shehnay !!!

khan sheb ko american music company amrica le jana chahti thi uske liye unhone khan saheb ko approach bhi kiya wo unhe besumar daulat bhi deti par khan saheb ne kaha mujhe america to le jauge par kashi vishvanath kaha se lauge ye ganga ka ghat kahan se lauge jahan main sari umr sahni bajata raha he had great love for lord shiva and ganga river inspite of a devoted muslim and offering 5 times nawaj he plays sahni at dashashmegh ghat of varanasi which is just situated near kashi vishvanath in admiration of lord shiva,I wish entire fundamentalist either muslim,hindu or any other religion should learn from his great life and simple living and this is what we call in up ganga jamuni tehjib the fusion of two great religion and culture ,and khan saheb was the one of the greatest monuments of this tehjib

The real BHARAT Ratna sir ... We can see Spirit of India In Him ...🙏🙏🙏🙏❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

I liked the way how he talked about music so passionately . . . He knew love. . He pure love through music. .

My feelings is such that Mr Gupta is obviously fortunate enough to have shared a seat with him in the same sacred cot while interviewing him. The man was not only Bismillah Khan, the great Sanhai Artist and a Bharat Ratna award winner. He was definitely one of the Indian Saints, similar to one in Upanishads. Mind his body language, smile and the tone, full of self belief, during his interview when he was saying that apart from the One there is no concept of Dualism.He must have realised it in his life by the grace of Almighty, otherwise how could he say that what is inside the Temple also exists outside the Temple and upon touching he did feel it. Only very few person can say that I feel it. Thank you NDTV for recording this historic interview.

ऐसे ऐसे रत्न बहुत थे भारत में ,काश आज भी होते बिस्मिल्ला जी।नमन करते है इनको।बनारस की धरती मा को नहीं छोड़ा।कोई फर्क नजर ही नहीं आता के यह हिन्दू थे या मुस्लिम।

This is passion... Even at this age, we can see bliss in his eyes, while talking about music

Love him so much what a sweet and humble man and such a great great musician quite jovial I realized I was smiling while listening to him 🙏😇

Another super legend of Indian classical music.

What a great man he is Legend of india Salute you sir

such a great treasure of india.may your soul RIP, KHAAN SAAP.

Respect....brought me to tears with Ustadji’s humbling presence. 🙏🏼

Jst watch where sir is sitting ...pure soul and pure heart ...bt in today's era our respected celebrity want only n only show of ....

What an incredible personality he is really touched my inner soul. India really is blessed to have such a great man.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Reminds of my childhood friend rahim...when he speaks of stone and mandir and god is one.we are in difficult times...people are all afraid of others and so the hatred turned into overprotectiveness... Ustad ji wherever u are ur music and soul is everlasting

Thank you Shekhar ji and NDTV India for such a legendary interview. It will help our generation to bring peace and harmony in India.

My heartiest pranaam baba 🥺❣️❣️🌸🌺

A Legend with a great combination of simplicity and knowledge.... Hats off to you Ustaad... RIP

In every millennium ,a great soul come to us to show us the path to peace, love and simplicity ,he could have built mansions if had wanted, but his life's journey is for us to follow,knowing that we come with nothing and we go with nothing,Bismillah saheb will be remembered for generations to come,may your wonderful soul come again to vibrate the masses with your music,inshaa Allah.

The house of this legend defines simplicity

This man is one of the paragon for the rest of the world! despite of being such a big name in music industry yet living so simple life ! This is what true legend are supposed to be. India is lucky to have such BIG MAN in its soil❣ Stay happy up in heaves Ustad jee .Love from Pakistan 💕

Such a gr8 artist n humble person, he is above all this religion thing. I loved his way of talking just typical up wala lahza. Hats off to the legend.

Wow Amazing !! Yeh hai Sacha Hindustani!! Every Indian would relate with Him.Truly Down to earth personality!!

I salute him bcz his simplicity and He is one of the ambassador of Indian civilization After awarding Bharat Ratna he was still in poverty😢 Why....😢

what a genius - and example that a life not lived spiritually is a wasted life - this body was given to us to realise the lord - and he made us feel that with every note he left resounding on this plane

4:41 lekin he raag Bhairav... the way he smiled 😂♥️.. such a down to earth and humble person... That ndtv interviewer should be more respectful to him. And has no knowledge about music.. he is bharat ratna... One the greatest musician of all times.....

The voice you hear is the rhythm. 🤗

Can't believe that a legendary man like him can be this simple, like a child to say...

I read about him in CBSE book

Pride of bharat Shri ustad bismilla khan !!!! jai hind..!!!

Unfortunately the repoter is not able to understand the depth of Ustad Saheb. Kaash koi shayar, ya kafi hota toh alag hi interview hota. Mashallah maza hi aa jata..❤️ he is phenomenal ❤️

He got about every highest civilian reward like Bharatratna,Padmabhusan,PadmaVibhusan and Padmadhri but salute to the Simplicity and Innocenctcy of this person

महान व्यक्तित्व ऐसे होते हैं जिनके लिए शब्द भी शब्द नहीं होता यह निराकार के नजदीक होते हैं

He really deserve to bhart ratna award....how the simplicity no words , Only salute for this legend .

This is the reason i love my country ❤️

He was the true image of Equality & integrity. Huge respect🙏😊
