[sanjosestateboy]

amitab and dharmendra is two legend known of there good movies and looks

[aparaajita10]

Shouldn't youtubre have some type of pollution control in place here? The language of some of the posts makes it stink like a sewer, making it impossible for any human to visit it.

[undy999]

Hi Guys...I am a Hindi Speaking...person......I am very prout that amitabh knows the Great Punjabi Language......I think punjabi is popular because of its Culture...and specially because of it large hearted people......A person who says Bad about punjabi must have a look inside his own heart.......

[noxiousnirvana]

o khanda paan banares wala ... khule jave band akal da tala ... phir te aijya howe kamal ... bachan murdering punjabi :D

[aparaajita10]

@noxiousnirvana I am a Punjabi, & I too speak Punjabi like this only. & have u heard most Punjabis speak Hindi? It's not about "murdering" a language. It's about respecting other people. their languages & cultures. Punjabi aur Hindi to both r our own only, Indian. & when he speaks, te tum ko gall samajh mein aa gayi hai na? Then why this divisiveness?

[noxiousnirvana]

@aparaajita10 calm down ... n im not being divisive im merely commenting on the FAIL that this video is ... if u have so much time to lecture and make everybody right as u see fit go help the needy and do some volunteer work :p

[aparaajita10]

@noxiousnirvana Why don't u use ur time in a constructive way "go help the needy and do some volunteer work" instead of criticizing the successful? what u do makes it seem like u r just a sour pus Loser....

[noxiousnirvana]

@aparaajita10 ma chuda randi ...

[RawalpindiBrittania]

@aparaajita10. im also punjabi and to my knowlegde most punjabis speak hindi/urdu, not so much those punjabis living in europe and north america though.

hindi is the national language of india so every indian should be able to speak at least basic hindi. even in punjab the official languages are hindi and english. punjabi on the other hand is the state language.

[aparaajita10]

@RawalpindiBrittania I agree totally on that one. I also believe that the state or local languages too should be recognized, & the people speaking only those not be marginalized in any way. We people need to understand thar knowledge & information is power, & learning another language doesn't mean u've 2 leave ur language, it's just that u've 2 learn another 1, or face the limitation that limited skills bring with it. "elite" in Punjab speak english, wannabees speak Punjabi

[RawalpindiBrittania]

@aparaajita10. state languages r recognised, its just a shame that south asians living outside of india and pakistan r not that familiar with the national languages of both countries. i dont agree with ur last comments, its the educated that speak english and secondly in imoprtant institutions in punjab, such as schools, clledges, universities, banks e.t.c hindi is spoken, although punjabi is the state language

[aparaajita10]

@RawalpindiBrittania I was speaking from my first hand observation. When I was there 30 years ago, & even now when I visit, or speak on the phone, I see a tendency among those who think they are educated &/or modern speak english or switch 2 it the moment they see some one approach them. It took me a lot of years to make my own relatives both in Punjab & even here, to speak with me in Hindi or Punjabi {I'm not very good at speaking it :( }

[RawalpindiBrittania]

@aparaajita10. ur not very good at speaking what?

[aparaajita10]

@RawalpindiBrittania  Punjabi

[RawalpindiBrittania]

@aparaajita10. at least you have basic knowledge, thats what matters most. i can speak punjabi hindi and urdu but just as well Im no expert at these langauges because i was born in the u.k and speak english as a first language.

[aparaajita10]

@RawalpindiBrittania It is just that I can't speak the language. I can read it & understand it quite well, & can even write it pretty well, only not as fast as I can write Hindi & english. & Hindi & english both r my 1st languages, Many of the people here in america don't believe that I am Indian. They think I an from UK. But then they r americans, what can I say.

[DERBYSHIRE4EVER]

dont get ur balls up, he speaks punjabi so the fuck what,

apart from hindi he also speaks urdu, gujrati, bengali, malayum, sindhi, seraki, tamil

[idawidawaputtycat]

@DERBYSHIRE4EVER dont forget english

[Mega4332]

wat a paaaaaaaa

[bjlse94]

its a shame no the interviewer did not ask him about his involvement in 1984 ant-Sikh riots...which he is accused of starting in Delhi

[SDSen]

His mother is from PAk punjab Faisalabad i think ...so it shouldnt really be a surprise

[GabbruPunjabi]

on tht time Faisalabad was known as Lail Pur...

[SDSen]

not an AMitabh fan but his punjabi is better than Sunny Deols at least

[GabbruPunjabi]

and sunny Deol is nothing more but just an Asshole both in acting as well as in person

[apr417]

wow great interview and i never knew amit jee spoke fluent punjabi...

[roxor1080]

I know that his mother was a Punjabi Sikh, but what about his father ?

[iloveushaykhnazim]

the host is so crap--he's nervous as hell!

amitabh speaks surprisingly good punjabi and he has great presence...:-)

[rneekhra]

AMIT JI >

You proved that age is no bar when you want to work or achieve anything in life.

[parakala1]

I become so emotional when it comes to Mr.bachchan love him so much.he is Paa of indian film industry. inspite of such a huge super atsrdom he is so simple & down to earth. no attitude at all. all roshans,khans & kumars has to learn from our living legend.hats off to him even at this age he has patience,love & commitment towards his work.

[nyas007]

goshh...he speaks punjabi quite well....lol

[tisatito74]

there are many kings in bollywood but there is only one emperor who is undisputed and still rocking at 68...Big b!

[irfan2010]

so Funny son dad & dad son. i can wait to see this movie

[njzen1]

He speaks AWESOME punjabi !!!!

[thinkRightnFree]

He in a true indian with national and international out look.

He speaks good Bangali also.

He is not a regional hero . But a hero of classes and masses.

Person who can be bhaiya some times,can be a convent, can be a don, can be a romantic hero, can be a comedian.

SRK and other ppl u compare with Big B are shits in front of Amitabh.

[usama487]

amitabh ko AAllah lambi umar de hi is so simple no attitute yaar. what kinda of man is he>????

[Deeppaali]

Sir JI, I like your punjabi. It is really nice and makes me proud. Please make a Punjabi film. so so proud of you sir.

[DERBYSHIRE4EVER]

@Deeppaali. punjabi films are low budget and unpopular

[aparaajita10]

@DERBYSHIRE4EVER Have u seen any of them? Please see some before u say any thing. And nothing very good can be said about most of the big budget films either, Hindi, or even for that matter english filnms too. Get over it, & go & find something better than to find fault with every thing except yourself...

[SinghAmerican]

i cant believe he speaks punjabi!

[niobium69]

his mom is sikh! i guess most people don't know that :)

[hotncool008]

@SinghAmerican why? Thats probably his mother tongue as his mother was a punjabi sikh.
