00:00We are people of Bombay. We saw how the attack happened in our city.
00:04They didn't come from Norway or Egypt.
00:09They are still roaming in your country.
00:12We have done big functions of Nusrat.
00:15We have done big functions of Mehdi Hassan.
00:17In your country, there is no function of Lata Mangeshkar.
00:30In your country, there is no function of Lata Mangeshkar.
00:33In your country, there is no function of Lata Mangeshkar.
00:36You have come to Pakistan many times.
01:01You have seen that Pakistan is a very friendly, loving,
01:05and positive country.
01:07But our perception in India is not so good.
01:11So I think that when you come here,
01:15do you tell them that they are very nice people?
01:18Because they don't kill mums everywhere.
01:20They make us wear flowers.
01:21They love us.
01:22Do you tell them that?
01:24Because we want good conditions in this region.
01:27We want to love and be friendly.
01:34What you are saying is very true.
01:37But it is a very sad thing.
01:40The centre of Lahore and Amritsar is 30 kilometres away.
01:55I don't know how many people know this.
01:58In spite of that,
02:00in these two cities,
02:02and in the whole country,
02:04there is ignorance about each other.
02:06Don't think that you know everything about India.
02:11I won't say that an ordinary Indian knows everything about you.
02:15He knows about the people sitting here.
02:18But even you don't know.
02:20And this ignorance is from both sides.
02:23I remember when I came here five years ago,
02:25I was sitting in their house.
02:27Some people were speaking in Punjabi.
02:29It's not surprising.
02:30They are Punjabi.
02:31I was laughing.
02:33There was a lady sitting next to me.
02:35She asked,
02:37do you understand Punjabi?
02:40I said, yes, I understand.
02:42I can't speak, but I understand.
02:44She asked, how did you come here?
02:46I said, most of the people in our film industry are Punjabi.
02:49She was very happy.
02:52She asked, are there Punjabi people in your film industry?
02:55Who are they?
02:57I said, if you ask me who they are,
02:59it will be easier for me to tell you.
03:01She said, no, still.
03:03I took three or four names.
03:05She said, but they are Hindus.
03:08A grown-up girl sitting in Lahore,
03:11an educated girl, didn't know
03:14that some Punjabis are also Hindus.
03:18And the same uneducated girl is also there.
03:24It's a very sad thing.
03:27The kind of cultural exchange
03:29that should have taken place,
03:31the student exchange that should have taken place,
03:33that didn't take place.
03:34The communication that should have taken place,
03:36that didn't take place.
03:37Mehdi Hussain came.
03:38He became very popular there.
03:40You can imagine what kind of function he had.
03:43Shabana gave his commentary.
03:45I wrote it.
03:46The way the hall received him,
03:48Allah Tamangishka, Rasha Bhootle.
03:50The kind of great singers he gave respect to.
03:53When Faiz sahib came,
03:54it felt like the head of a state had come.
03:57There were cars driving ahead and behind.
04:00When he came with a siren,
04:02he used to stay in the governor's house.
04:04No Indian could go to PTV.
04:07Have you ever seen an interview
04:09of Sahil, Kaifi, Sardar Jafri on PTV?
04:13We will show you.
04:15Did it happen here?
04:16No.
04:17People should try not to know each other.
04:19Forgive me on both sides.
04:21And maybe you have a little more.
04:24We have done great functions of Nusrat.
04:27We have done great functions of Mehdi Hussain.
04:29In your country,
04:30there was no function of Allah Tamangishka.
04:37So the reality is,
04:39let's not blame each other.
04:41It won't solve.
04:42The important thing is that
04:44the heat and cold should be reduced.
04:48We are people of Bombay.
04:49We saw how the city was attacked.
04:52They did not come from Norway.
04:55Nor did they come from Egypt.
04:57They are still roaming in your country.
05:00So if this complaint is in the heart of an Indian,
05:03then you should not feel bad.
