He is such a natural and down-to-earth person. He talks truly that nowadays vulgarity, sexuality and intimacy are what sparks any movie rather than the quality of dialogue, acting and plot.

[@farhanathar2256]

But in modern times our people try to portray display of sexuality, vulgarity as some of sort of brilliant sophistication thing. Society is going backwards intellectually if we think about it, our people should make their own place in the world instead of following the world and promoting nudity as some aspect of liberalism etc.

[@reshmashakeel9384]

So very true! i miss old days when very well educated well mannered people were there in the showbiz.

[@Nas_Raf]

He did a live poetry reading a couple of years ago - it was the chance of a lifetime to hear him live. My goodness, his voice just sent vibrations through the entire hall; such command of each word, each tone - and his timing - impeccable! ♥️

[@nativerooted4181]

Art comes from heart. Natives of the subcontinent treated art as divine activity an offering to the divine. That's why Art was invented, promoted and funded by temples, Gurukuls and DharmVihar. Desert highway bandit gangs came for looting these temples and the natives who contributed to their construction. To motivate the gang members the gang leaders gave bad names to the natives of the subcontinent. One such bad name was Kaffir. Natives' art was organic and utterly native. It included Sthapatya (Building architecture, Construction technology, Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus needed), performing arts like invention and playing of most of wind, string and percussion instruments, dance and Singing and Ragas involved in singing. MohMadden Art means a sad slave girl dancing in front of brute lecherous MohMadden courts. When MohMaddens talk about art preserves culture they mean perpetual slavery of people to foreign brutes even after their declaration of joining the desert bandit rapist gang. Stockholm syndrome is Art for MohMaddens, Christians and Marxists of the subcontinent.
