Very Nice Interview, It Warms Our Hearts ! ❤️♥️

[@salilali6210]

He was a lively soul and made everyone feel special, we played badminton in the WS Gym many times in the late 80s (with his friend Naseeruddin). we were just medical students back then and when we lost he would cajole us " Doctor Saab zor lagao!"

[@maheshbhatia8033]

Jamie I could see your eyes num and wet in tears, that showed the real love in you for your father Tom. God bless his soul and bless you with his love where ever he is...

[@adityapanwar5988]

Great respect to both of them

[@sanyogitachavan9825]

Jamie, I have watched your videos but this particular one about your late father in your uncle’s words moved me to tears and compelled me to go from a silent spectator to commenting. They spoke so much of the love he had for his brother and the dignity of coping with it and remembering him! Much love to all! Your uncle’s words and demeanor epitomize what appealed to me the most about American academia and Americans when I first moved here more than two decades ago as a student. I studied in the Midwest as well and while I live on the east coast now, I’ve a natural affection towards anyone from that part of the country.

[@JamieAlterIndian]

Very touching, so sweet of you to write this.

[@armsdomain]

Ek pal to aankhein chowdhi ho gayi, lagaa aapke Dad hi hain... It also reminded me of Aberforth Dumbledore talking about Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter series, but all the wonderful memories... Definitely, I'd read the book your uncle has authored!

Can I ask how you're related to Jamie Alter!

I'm a British born Bangladeshi and I grew up watching Tom Alter in Bollywood movies in the 1980s in London.

This so special, to hear about Tom Sir from his beloved brother...truly beautiful..thank you Jamiebhai for this video 😀

[@becooldontfreez]

Watched some of Tom's interviews... one can listen to him for hours.. he had such a great energy, makes me feel.. life is good! Not to worry too much... this might make no sense, but I find his personality very positive, very deep, calm, happy, optimistic, hopeful. RIP Tom Alter Ji.

[@mehtasub3364]

I admired Tom Sir's diversity and depth in acting, and of course his eloquence in Hindi and Urdu. Thank you Jamie for letting us fans know more about him. BTW I am so happy that he (your family) chose Uttarakhand my home state as his home, and is a fellow Pahadi.

[@obnoxiousbong]

Such a blessed pair of siblings they reigned upon the alter of literature and humanity.

[@culturemoon]

In the beginning of the vid you refer to your father's elder brother as "chacha/चाचा". "Chacha" is father's younger brother, he'd be your "taaya/ताया".

I thought you are interviewing your father .you uncle looks exactly like your late father.

Milna mangta tere se jamie bhai. I am an ex ITBPF personal and spent some time in Mussoorie during my training days at ITBPF academy. I wanted to meet Mr Ruskin Bond but couldn’t get a chance to. Can you interview him for us please? Also, with your permission,whenever I’m coming to Mussoorie id come to meet you brother.

I just realised that basically the "knoo" (knew OR new) pronunciation is in your bloodline, as john is saying same way 🤔🤔

[@dhananjaymalhotra7854]

I watched Tom Sir's play in 2010 in Delhi and was mesmerized by his performance and stage presence. It became so difficult to approach him after the play was over as he was surrounded by people (almost everyone) who loved and adored him so much.

[@9393dev]

I am a small person with inadequate vocabulary to comment on Sir Tom on his wide array of work and interest ( acting , poetry etc. ) so i will just pray Lord Rest his soul in peace . Jamie you are also down to earth like your father .
