Dev Kumar bohot khaaksaar the ,yani down to earth

[@kiran1971]

Tabassum aunty love 💕 the way you present the program with so much of elegance 🙏🏻✨🥰

[@tanvii24]

Ahh you gorgeous lady!!!Thank you for this..Love alwayss❤️

[@saumenvidyarthi]

Tabassum ji I like the vocabulary used by you one of the Urdu words often used by you is sitamzareefi (which I think means irony) in relation to kismat meaning fate. Today I learnt Laheem Shaheem meaning well built 😊

[@dreamzamazon4761]

Aap se har baar Urdu ki ek nahi lafz seekhne milti hai... you should also start teaching Urdu on KZbin 😘

[@promitapal9609]

Thank you Tabassum Aunty for this Gem channel .

[@SushilKumar-vr4wm]

हम तो उन्हें सिर्फ एक विलैन मानते थे, लेकिन वो तो बहुत प्रतिभाशाली व्यक्ति थे। पहली बार पता चला उनके बारे में। उन्हें नमन करता हूं। तबस्सुम जी को धन्यवाद।

[@abhijeetnaik7577]

Hats off to you!!! Only because of you we knew about this underrated but talented actor.

[@Curious_Brained]

You....yes. Stalwarts like us know every junior artist, villian and rarely we watch who the hero is. 😊😊😊

Salute to Dev kumar saab. Very down to earth person. Great personality. We never come to know the other side of Dev kumar saab, had you not brought it. Thanks for uploading.

[@sarad2029]

I remember his wife Namrita ji , feeding the street dogs at J beach near her home , almost 20 years ago , when I was a teenager and first time went to Bombay. I use to go to the beach at evening and see her coming with lots of food and feed the strays ,,but then one day I her daughter told me that her mom is hospitalised but she still sent food for the dogs ,,, she was very kind and a beautiful woman , I always remember her , and today after 20 years I am back in India and I also like her feed lots of dogs . She inspired me . I don't know if she is still alive but I always remember her . She told me that her husband is mr. Dave Kumar so I remembered.

[@kashi2843]

देव कुमार साहब एक शायर हैं इसलिए उनका अंदाज़े बयां बहुत ही शायराना और मुख्तलिफ है. जिस तरह वे इंटरव्यू में आप के सवालों का जवाब दे रहे हैं उस पर तो में दिलो जान से फ़िदा हो गयी हूँ. Thank you so much Tabssum ji par last me unka tragic end sunkar dil baith gaya.

देव कुमार ,जीवन की कहानी अच्छी तरह कहतें है । सच्चा कलाकार ।

[@sahibzadamujahid2164]

What an amazing personality but unfortunately he didn't get required recognition . The way he was giving you response in interview clearly indicates your intimacy with this talented person. One thing was evident from his face that not only he was very clean hearted person but highly confident and intelligent person with no regrets on his change of stature from Hero to villain's side kick. RIP Dev Kumar

[@cvenkatraman335]

Tabassum Mam, I am watching your programme since seventies when you use to conduct interview for Doordarshan Phool khile hi Gulshan Gulshan and still enjoying today Tabassum talkies. Thank you very much for entertainment.

[@neelubird]

His spoken language is beautiful- he clearly had a talent with words.

[@awesomealmighty9453]

Lovely actor⭐. The huge man⭐. Thanks for your great contribution to Indian cinema. We love you....from Nigeria.

[@AmitBh13]

As a kid we used to wait for Phool khile hain gulshan gulshan and I am a fan since then. Bachpan ke din bhula na dena...

[@saumenvidyarthi]

Nice video of a multifaceted actor. Unfortunately he passed away at 60 only. Remember his terrifying presence in Khel Khel Mein (1975). Other memorable roles were in Khoon Pasina, Hera Pheri and of course, the hilarious moments in Namak Halal

[@fayazkhan1729]

Watch him in Aarman 1980

[@nishitaatwal7979]

Dev Kumar was really a man of parts. He has contriduted a lot to the industry. He will always be remembered with respect.

[@sudhirmalgundkar1742]

I agree with you.

[@sudhirmalgundkar1742]

[@renukapaul6688]

[@shuklabhattacharya3139]

Who knew there was such a soft-spoken and humble man behind such a formidable villain! I wish we saw more of him as a hero- he looked so handsome! By the way, as a child, I always thought he must be the brother of Parveen Kumaar (who played Bheem in B. R. Chopra's Mahaabhaarat), as they appeared similar looking to me😋

[@npd9758]

Villains in real life are always down to earth

[@ronnydoekhi3367]

Thanks for the i nformation mam. Dev Kumar with his towering height was a legend. Someone told me that he was in Suriname for a shooting in the seventies.

[@MdArif-co6fy]

Bhut bhut शुक्रिया तबससुंम आपा

[@ajayshah1950]

These are the people whom I love more than the heroes. People like K. N. Singh, Rehman, Manmohan Krishna, Nazir Hussein, Pran, Danny, Shetty and many more have made bollywood more colorful. What a sweet personality beneath a muscular body. यकीन नही होता की एक खुंखार विलन एक इतना रुमानी शायर हो सकता है.

He came in as a hero in this first film Tabassum-ji if I am not mistaken. I had seen the film - Ek Khiladi Bavan Patthe. If he ever acted in hindi movies before that, I don't really know, but liked him very much as an actor.

What a great person he was. Even tdys heroes are not so talented as Shri Dev ji. In those years his thinking was far more ahead than it's time.

70s hindi film industry had strong dynamic towering villians like..... . Ajit Pran Imtiyaz Khan Amjad Khan Muddu Shetty Dev Kumar Roopesh Kumar Kamal Kapoor Madan Puri Prem Chopra Shatrughan Sinha . Because proper script used to be written, even for the villians also. . After 80s, it vanished after the fall of SALIM-JAVED. Few movies like Mr India (Script from SALIM-JAVED), became famous because of villian. . Remember.......Mugambo from Colombo, who never stayed at Negombo, Siri Lanka. 😊😊😊
