A Journey of Thoughts with Javed Akhtar

A conversation with the prolific and multi-talented poet Javed Akhtar. A Doordarshan exclusive.

[@paladinPraveen]

Javed saab never fails to be insightful. Everytime I hear him talk, I find new perspectives on things I observe everyday. Such a prolific man! The interviewer, Rakshanda Jalil, is a treat. It's become a rare sight to have such intelligent interviewers on television these days. It's very heartening to see and listen to two great minds have an intellectual conversation.

[@sureshshrimavle4696]

I knew Javed Sahib from Safia College, Bhopal where we were studying in the same college, he was studying in Arts and I was in Science group. Javedji is very talented, came up thru rank in all walks of life. Wishing him success throughout his life.

[@sumanverma6274]

A great kudos to Rakshanda Ji also. Behatreen awaz.

[@mem1001953]

Journalist has excellent pronunciation of Urdu. Current conversations with Journalists and Javed is same questions but twisted. Same about his childhood, Gabbar and ek ladki ki ko dekha etc. This man is well read and has strong rational. conviction . Someone must interview him who is an intellectual and put across that has not been asked so far. Javed is a treasure of knowledge and more can be digged out.

[@aloksrivastav3089]

Javed jaha bolte hai jo bhi bolte hai unka andaz aisa hota hai ki sunte raho..koi bhi topic ho...unki urdu aur hindi milke wo Karismsa paida karti hai. .

[@dereksamueldani7336]

A great interviewer. I wish many in the TV journalism would emulate her.

I agree with Azmat that bollywood base language is Urdu and it has done marvelous job in spreading this language from MiddleEast to Burma

[@lehlisidhu2525]

a logical and technical explanation of everything... It is not an easy task to describe everything on the scale of words but you have done this in a very simple way so that each can understand and implement in one's own way. THANK YOU SIR...!!!!

[@rajsheaj]

What a wonderful interview..... I wish people in the future start saying Hindustani instead of Hindi or Urdu......

[@shadows4419]

I understand Urdu ( what a beautiful language ) but can’t read or write it, is there any chance Javed Akhtar’s book LAVA and his other books are available in hindi or english? Much thanks for any input.

[@JPSir]

Nice interview. Only, Ek achcha interviewer beech beech me hoon hoon hoon nahi karta. Bahut irritating lagta hai.

[@maneetheera9981]

look at her eyes while smiling, nearly killed me. no offence, madam; there are people who might consider this offended.

[@ahmedrazamohammed9556]

Ab pata chala javed sahab anjana ko joota bhigo k kyu maaar rahe te🤭 ye anchor ka knowledge javed sahab se equal hai🙏 worth watching ♥️

[@azmatkhan6419]

Finally truth come out Bollywood Speaks URDU

[@2sridhark]

@ azmat khan, Nobody denies Bollywood uses Urdu. Javed Akhtar himself has said that there is not much difference in the structure between the 2 languages: Urdu and Hindi except in the words that can be interchangeably used. You can say "aap yahan baithiye" and both urdu speakers and hindi speakers will understand. In pure Urdu it would by "aap yahan tashreef farmayen" while Hindi speakers will say "aap yahan aasan grahan karen"! Nobody speaks these pure sentences. The street language is common. That is why bollywood is seen in Mumbai as well as in Lucknow, Karachi etc. Besides, in India Urdu is not considered a foreign languge but is one of the 18 official languages. That is not the case in Pakistan where Hindi, Bengali are all considered foreign.

Only a person who is influenced by post modernism n existentialism can write "mere mukhalif ne chal chaldi hi" . "Zara dekh tu lo" is real , but lachar . Bhai तू जिंदा है तो ज़िन्दगी की जीत में यकीन कर.

What about the singers ? Don't they get even 121/2 % royalty ?

[@dawoodk103]

I am surprised the lady interviewer pronounced Ghalibs ghazal as " gajal ".

[@sharanlibrasidhu3436]

Dawood K she completes javed sentence and sings along is very irritating

[@rezahaq4579]

It was her sarcasm towards those people who pretend to know urdu.

[@mohammedalinaik2186]

Acknowledging Javed Akhtar as a Ghazal writer would be wrong. He is just a good song-writer although he masquerade as a great poet.

[@KamraEkke]

Have you heard his ghazals,? He is a total package

[@sharanlibrasidhu3436]

Lady let the the genious talk and recite don't interupt it's irritating

[@gm679]

the interviewer seemed wet by intelligence

[@KAmarnathR]

the interviewer.... embarrassment that tv channel should have sent somebody more expert to talk with a person like Javed.

[@sharanlibrasidhu3436]

KAmarnathR tottly agree with you

[@gsakumar1]

i think mr.javed akthar as the age is going by is becoming mad of congress, and thinks that he is equal to 90% of indians when he says 90% of the indians dont like Mr.modi, similarly another one Mr.U.R.Anantha murthy from karnataka is as mad as mr.javed akthar when he says he would like to die the day Mr.modi becomes the prime minister. these writers stand in que begging before the politicians for getting awards from the government, they try to get all kinds of recommendations from politicians.

[@PB-fi1qh]

Such an ignorant thing to say. The irony that you're dissing writers by senseless arguments.

[@mem1001953]

Rubbish.

[@najmadeshmukh6909]

Maybe you have mistaken. His name is Javed Akhtar. darbari log are found on other end.... Thank you....😘😘😘
