'Homi Bhabha Introduced My Papa and Amma': Dr Mallika Sarabhai on 'Rocket Boys' | The Quint

[@devinadebnath6257]

She is such an intellectual and inspirational woman. The talk about plurality was on point . Hell of an orator .The education reflects!

[@tejalpatel1412]

Absolutely amazing humble clear answers! She reflects real sensible intellect true patriotism and a broad vision ! Wish the interviewer was better and at least combed his hair . She deserves much better! Great mini series Rocket boys can’t Wait for part 2

[@rasneb9535]

Rocket boys should be shown on a tv network so more people can see and know about our great unsung heroes..it is a superb show every Indian should see it and be proud of our heritage!

[@Madhulika1]

Yes totally agreed 👍

[@veenadesai295]

It touched my heart when I saw this series part 1 n 2. I had joined Darpana academy in 1974 as a puppeteer and witnessed launching of ISRO, Doordarshan, IIM . I had an opportunity to meet him personally at Darpana and my first reaction was “he is આજાનબાહુ” “પરાણે વ્હાલા લાગે તેવા છે”. Same with Amma. ❤❤ we r so proud of him and Amma for their contribution to Indian society.

[@mjht1rox]

She's a queen on her own - she owns the room she walks in, she has a commendable & elequoent skill to engage people in conversations at the same time, even though she comes from a family which played a tremendous part in putting India on the field of Science globally, she's still so humble, down to earth & vivacious. The interviewer definitely could have done a better job in displaying some amount of professionalism & enthusiasm. But she owns this interview.

[@sujanikoya2826]

He seems like someone had put a gun to his head to interview MS

[@utkarshkumar601]

I once met her in a function...the way she spoke that time was mesmerizing

[@Nikki20329]

After watching Rocket Boys i have a huge huge respect for Dr. Homi Bhabha sir.... true legend 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@deltapizza5154]

Dr.Mallika is a treasure that we the people of India need to preserve ….what she has is of immense importance …the stories of our ACTUAL nation builders ….I find it very disturbing how people tend to idealise frauds like Harshad Mehta and have no idea about the likes of Bhabha and Sarabhai. Dr.Mallika deserves much more interviews .

[@na-hg3ch]

apple doesn't fall far away from the tree! mrinalini sarabhai's daughter and vikram sarabhai's daughter indeed

[@Max6850]

We (Ahmedabadis) like here very much for all the cultural and uplifting activities she does. We have been following her and have heard and studied about Sarabhai from Schools.

[@limarosalind2802]

Dr. Mallika Sarabhai,never disappoints! Such a nuanced orator, an intellectual,all round personality! Dancer,thinker, activist, beautiful soul! Will love to see her in many interviews!💓👏👏🎊🎉

[@anju04aa]

Wonderful series…..Mallika is an enterprising personality always…..In childhood whenever my sister and I used to see her on tv we always used to admire the way she talked, danced, applied kajal in a certain way, wear two different earrings on both the ears…..

[@sanatdas2011]

Her intellect is simply overwhelming. Surely shows the greatness in her genes.

[@ushamehra3260]

Series is brilliantly made. Congrats n big applause to makers of Rocket Boys

[@WBSchoolOfMaths]

Just finished the web series , very beautiful , everybody must watch this.

[@drsnehasmitaghosh4922]

Such an amazing orator she is 😄

[@NoVideo2024]

People should definitely watch Rocket Boys to know tremendous work done by Dr. Bhabha and Dr. Sarabhai. The contribution of these two to India has shaped our present and future. Salute to these brilliant people.

[@melwynfernandes1993]

Could you not have found a better interviewer? Dr. Mallika was amazing !

[@manananjaria3003]

Mallika mam is incredible , to be honest I took her course at my university for credits but her intellect is so so sooo stunning , I feel so grateful to have her as my Teacher.

[@priyankagoverdhan5062]

She deserved a better interviewer

[@pamtam1]

Absolutely. I don't know why did they have this guy to interview her.

[@ranjithpuzhankara3252]

The interviewer was just so weak

Thank you Mallika for being who you are. A gem and a beacon of an intellectual India. Wish our country gets more like you. Your parents have been inspirational for generations and will always be.

[@foodie8779]

Wonderful interview ❤️ I recently did project work on Dr Sarabhai contribution. I was so amazed and filled with wonder that...how much he knew , and had great talent...I'm really happy... 💖 This series is coming 💖

Honest and brilliant comments right from the Heart. Kudos to Dr. Mallika Sarabhai. God Bless.

[@EmE2421]

Distracted by bad interviewing. The interviewer looked completely lost and had no idea of what he was doing. Despite that, she took charge and charmed the viewers.

[@tigrebonita]

Awesome. Always respected Dr. Sarabhai and Smt . Mrinaliniji. Loved her autobiography and had wished to meet her someday. Unfortunately, didn't. Admire Mallikaji for her spirit, dynamism, talent and intelligence. What a family. Such a tragedy that Boseji , Bhabha ji , shastriji and Sarabhaiji deaths are still shrouded in mystery. Truth shall prevail and we pray that it happens soon. 🙏🙏🙏. Very eagerly look forward to the next season. Can't get enough of it.

[@virafmehta4296]

What a brilliant interview. Dr. Mallika Sarabhai is so erudite and articulate in her talk. Portrays her world view so very well.

[@meghna009]

Amazing interview.. so on point and so positive. The interviewer is out of his depth.

[@miku1408]

Well said Mallika Sarabhai! You are your father's daughter🙂

[@balakuntalamsridhar5789]

A fascinating interview. I attended one of the first performances by Smt. Mrinalini Sarabhai when she resumed dancing following the death of Dr. Sarabhai. It was touching, and yet, inspirational. If only we an cultivate scientific temper, broad mindedness, and stick to facts, instead of denigrating the great leaders who laid the foundation for modern India, and desist from obscurantism and invented glories of imagined past, we will be a truly great nation.

[@ramneekxkmphkolkata]

Interviewee owned the interviewer! Poor boy must be nervous and stuff! But he really needs to up his game..

[@debrajbarmanroy3141]

Absolutely.... I agree that all sort of thing which is going on in Ott....... Series like this should be more as for new generation who needs to understand the true gems of India...

[@mishasinghal9016]

Great to hear her...!! & hear honest views on Indian intellectual space... Yep we need a reboot! & it needs a further nurturing..

[@dpkbalaji]

Dr. Malikka mentions Seshan! That is T.N. Seshan , a colossal figure in Indian Bureaucracy and similar in magnitude to Dr.Homi, Dr. Sarabhai and Dr. Kalam in terms of nation building. To know all these minds were well acquainted makes me awe.

[@santusanturohit4832]

T.N. Seshan was the brain behind revolutionise election of India..

[@simikapoor5768]

Totally agree that is is time to put up good content, show the real heroes that are working for the good of the country so that the young generation can emulate them

[@rahulgatlevar3591]

Really very beautiful and remembering of golden era we had lived.tjank you Mallika ji.i have always admire your dedication to fine art.

Very informative interview. Thanks to Mallika and Quint. Hope the makers of Rocket Boys will make a part 3 episode on Abdul Kalam and his achievements.

[@erwinsmith5796]

I was literally overwhelmed to see the short film the Rocket Boys. Our imaginations were very pleasantly sorted out in vivid explanation through the film. The sweet relationship between the two science heros has set such good examples for the upcoming generation. Thanks to the producer.

[@AMI2151]

I dont get it. Is this a real time zoom interview? Why is her audio clear and the interviewer's bad? I mean, where are your production values, Quint?! You couldnt give the dude a decent internet connection and a headphone?! What is this??

[@ranjithpuzhankara3252]

and give her a decent interviewer for who she is!

[@richi6550]

The sheer class and confidence this woman has represents the upbringing of her parents and I'm kinda jealous of her because she got to interact with so many interesting peopl

[@angaduchiha6444]

We all proud of our wealth of great nation builders..great series Dr Mallika is joy to listen..and so much to learn from her

[@bhushankankal]

This is such a genuine conversation for pure love of science and arts❤️❤️

[@tanijha20]

Mallika Sarabhai is so good in the interview! Upbringing and home environment speak volumes! What intellect...what perspective! Loved it! Just wish they had a better interviewer who could be more involved, more enthusiatic and smarter in what he said and how he reacted to her answers and how he asked questions!

[@carpediem8533]

I appreciate Mallika for not hiding dad's affairs during scripting of the show. It brought such a nuanced personality of Vikram rather than one tone heroism. In other words it made them more human.

[@rsvaidyanathan2762]

Honest and Brilliant comments right from the Heart. Dr. Mallika Sarabhai just excels.

[@adithia2693]

This has to be one of the loveliest interviews...❤

[@monikaagarwal9381]

I believe we should have more interview of her! ❤️

[@shwetapatki3845]

The interviewer needs to comb his hair and appear more excited. Not being judgemental, it's just a question of ethics, attire and respect to the guest.

[@debarpitadaspal5722]

Also they should have engaged a more senior interviewer for a stalwart like Mallika Sarabhai

My God this interviewer is so disinterested. He looks like he just got up, didn't even brush/wash his face and came to do the interview . Mallika Sarabhai is why i could watch!!She is absolutely amazing

[@ranjithpuzhankara3252]

Nostalgia to me . My childhood school days as a student of Asia English school ahmedbad where Mrinalaini Sarabhai was the director.and the first couple of ar and science were always the chief guests to our school annual function,an event which always had classical dance and musical perfomances from each state of India.Mrinalini sarabhai would even hands train students of our school for various programs in danceand i picked up a few basic steps of bhartanatyam watching the rehearsals from the classroom window at navrangpura ahmedabad.

[@BabubhaiVaghela]

I had the pleasure to meet her at Darpana, Ahmedabad.

[@Nonu2024]

The Quint get a better person to interview such a great personality. Clearly interviewer has no clue of history or vocab he is not at all acknowledging what the speaker is saying instead just reading a script

[@nishajaihindajain9192]

Oh my god she is 67 years old and she looks as if she is in late 40’s . That is the power of dance especially Bharatham . It Keeps you updated with the cosmos

[@sandeepsaxena8266]

Mr. And Mrs. Sarabhai and Homi Jahangir Bhabha were jewels of our nation and Mallika ji is a great artist and personality and a jewel in her own right, but she sounded quite bitter with current dispensation in our country and made some sweeping statements.

[@HARSH19850]

Me and Mallika Sarabai used to work out in same gym (Golds Gym) Shivrangi x roads 15 years ago. I also participated in a dance competition in Darpan academy and came runners up when I was a kid. She was fitness freak, during her 50s she looked like 30 years old. Her Darpan academy is no less then a Roman art Studio. It was situated at the banks of Sarbarmati river. Few people know that she was good friend of Parveen babi and Everybodies knows She Hate Modi.

Malika ma'am... You are so marvelously articulate ...am floored 🙏

Super excited for season 2

Mallika doesn't see the brilliance of the day. It's sad. Her father and bhabha would be incredibly proud of today's india.

[@natarajannagarajan6913]

What a great thoughts on patriotism and nationalism by Dr Mallika Sarabhai. No wonder PM is uneasy in her thoughts.

[@ashugurtoo4835]

Mallika ji was one of the prettiest actresses of her time ...how ever the roles she got did not do complete justice to her personality....

[@tanvibambolkar1754]

Thanks for this interview guys. I loved the show and wanted to know a lot more about the two legends. Looking forward to second season! ❤️ Didn’t know it was in the making. Excited that there will be lot more dance in it! ☺️

[@PADDY89292]

Mallika is blessed to be Born in this family Sarabhai 😊

[@priyankapaul4740]

The show is brilliant but they shouldn't have changed Meghnad Saha's character with Raza Mehndi. Moreover, the character was depicted as a villain. General public wouldn't do fact check. Just to show the greatness of Bhabha and Sarabhai there was no need to demean other great scientists who contributed so much. Mallika Sarabhai herself should have opposed this.

[@kapilsreedhar1371]

❤. Thanks for sharing those moments in life with us. 🙏.

[@ananthvs5721]

Amazing interview about an awesome show. Thanks for getting her to the show. I just felt that the interviewer could add more life to the conversation, at least half the liveliness that she’s brought it. It feels disappointing to see that he’s just focussed on the next question, not bothered about reacting to her responses, adding a couple of sentences, and so on. I’m sure the virtuality could be a reason, but when your talking about a show which is on highlighting human emotions, the interview is ironically so mechanical I felt. Recently there was an interview on the same channel interviewing the child actors of early 2000s and it was so lively. Here there’s a contrast between Mallika Ma’am and the guy. It appeared to me that he’s just not interested in what she’s saying, but to ask as many questions as possible.

[@NoVideo2024]

Looks like an intern

[@tanmayarora1053]

Quint, please up your production value and give the interviewer a comb and a desk please! This guy needs to be more professional and comb his hair at least and use a desk to keep his laptop on! Also, please send experienced interviewers for such interviews rather than sending interns

[@amareshdhal]

She told correct, our movie industry never have stories on these GREAT ppl such Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai or Ramanjuam rather they are busy in doing movies on Haseena Parker etc. That's the irony.

[@princesssgaming]

Wow! Agree so much about disappearance of intellectual era

[@satishk9435]

It's high time these legends who have made India what it is today get the appreciation they deserve. They have made India a nuclear nation despite all odds. We need more such movies on so many unsung heroes to make us aware of our country's greatness

[@smitas65]

It was normal in middle class educated homes during that time to provide an “education” to their children, either through music and dance or through dining table conversations centred around what was happening in the country, history and art. The only topic not discussed was how to make money. It was taken for granted that the literacy received in school and college would get them a job which would feed them, but they needed a cultural education that would nourish them

[@cg8397]

If that's true, then it's the stupidest mistake of the Indian middle class because a job was never guaranteed even back then. But the Sarabhai family weren't middle class, they belonged to the 1%.
