Javed Akhtar On Salim Khan, Shabana Azmi, & Angry Young Man with Nikhil Taneja on Be A ManYaar! S203

[@SakibMdNadim]

Can please appreciate the host? He has done his research on him, he is asking the right questions in a very right way, he stops whenever Javed Akhtar starts talking, He was polite and he knew whom he is talking to through out the interview. A true man of culture.

[@tanejamainhoon]

You've made my day and week and month, Sakib. Thank you for your very generous words and kind sentiment - I'm so happy particularly because you've appreciated the research. Put in a lot of efforts for that (read two of his biographies!) :)

@@tanejamainhoon you know most of the interviews and podcasts are identical but this one was different. Because of your great questions we got a lot of words of wisdom. Thankyou

[@kirantrivedi8134]

@@tanejamainhoon You were good, more so because it was a difficult task talking newer things with a personality like Javed Akhtar who has now a thousand videos talking everything that matters in his life 😀... That's the reason the section here about his life has nothing new to offer, but talks about cinema & society offers lot of good. Your understanding about cinema & society helped bring out great conversation. It did impress me. 👍

I have sobbed after this interview, seeing a man define Feminism, speaking for us was something that i needed. I wish he lives a long life and that his legacy of thoughts continues forever, because only such thoughts can make the world a better world to live. Lots of respect, respect and respect.

[@Livelife_light]

Nikhil ji, you are asking wonderful questions to Javedji. This shows that you have done a lot of research on both modern angry man and a modern woman. I wish you continue to have such deep conversations with more young men and older men, because that way, men's insecurities diminish and they are ready to share the space with women in the world... Films like Animal or Kabir Singh are here, because of their insecurities and challenges they face in their daily lives with women..... Because they see women on the other side, are entrepreneurs, accountants, doctors, even under their burqas or ghunghats! They share a Shark Tank seats, ready with numbers and investments... Pls continue such conversations. If you have not done enough justice, then pls call your guests again like Naseerji, Anupam Kherji, Gulzarji, Bachhanji, etc and ask them again on your points.

[@tanejamainhoon]

Thank you so much for this wonderful and very kind, comment. Trying to do very much the same. Got the opportunity to speak to Naseer sir last season of the show, please do see it! Hoping to get Bachchan sir on the show soon ❤️

Naa. He lives in ideal world. For example as a man I work whole life to give dowry to get my daughter married. Still there is no guarantee that mother in law and sister in law won't kill my daughter because they thought dowry was not enough. It happen everywhere in India. He thinks women do no evil. Only men need to improve towards women forgetting that men work whole life so that daughter gets married.

[@ShimaTheCatto]

​@@parthsavyasachi9348 why not work their whole life to educate their daughter, make her independent so she can deal with her mother in law and sister in law as she sees fit.

[@parthsavyasachi9348]

@@ShimaTheCatto there is no education needed. We need to give up the system. No one shall be giving dawry actually. And if children want to spend money they shall do it themselves. Most people in India are too traditional so they won't. When I married second time after Indian wife passed away, I married European and we both spent just less than 1000 euros on wedding. Same we teach to kids. No unnecessary expense on weddings. But this is one family. India needs to change actually. BTW the horrible part is that man's mother and sister participate in deciding how much dawry daughter in law shall bring.. We need change.

[@ShimaTheCatto]

@@parthsavyasachi9348 Yes and education brings change. Things have improved from the past. Is the system completely abolished? Definitely not but there is hope. When both men and women grow as individuals they themselves realise how harmful the practice of dowry is. I am not saying that educated individuals don't indulge in these practices, maybe they do. But the only way to stop a daughters suffering is teaching her not to take shit from her in laws,stand her ground and live with pride. No matter how much you work for your daughter's dowry, if the in-laws are greedy and she has low self esteem she will never be happy. You can't change other people but one can definitely change themselves.

Women who are watching this interview will be very inspired to hear the poem dedicated to Zoya - which I think is on self-actualisation. Also so refreshing to hear Javed Akhtar's definition of Feminism towards the end. I still cringe when I remember Kareena Kapoor evading the question when asked about it during the promotions of a modern women centric movie- Veere di Wedding!! Also Javed saahab saying that he regrets not writing a women centric movie and praising Zoya's movies for authentically representing the modern woman - kudos!! Nikhil, such a wonderful interview. Thank you for asking the tough and thought provoking questions based on good research. So happy that there are male feminists like Javed Akhtar, you, and Siddhaarth Aalambayan in India.
