00:00What is your opinion? Mahayoti has swept the state. What is your opinion on this?
00:07First of all, I don't want to give my opinion on this because Abdullah Diwana in Begane Shadi.
00:13It's a big state, hand it over to them.
00:16The people of Juhu say that give it to Maharashtra, India and Jharkhand.
00:25Give it to Kashmir, India and Haryana.
00:32All the people you were talking about, not all of them will be proven wrong.
00:37All of them will be proven wrong there.
00:40There are so many big incidents.
00:43Rarely have you seen Sharad Pawar or Chaharwani losing temper.
00:52How much they tried to insult Mamata ji.
00:57All kinds of things, even in her speech.
01:02Oh Didi, Oh Didi, Oh Didi, Didi.
01:05You had named Narendra Modi as Namo.
01:23Absolutely.
01:24You are the one who came up with the name Namo, correct?
01:27Do you have a name for Mamata Banerjee?
01:30There is only one name for her, she is famous all over the world.
01:34Didi.
01:35Didi doesn't mean anyone else.
01:37Didi means Mamata Didi.
01:39Mamata Didi, Mamata Didi.
01:42Because I am one of the few people who respectfully call her Mamata ji.
01:48Your Mamata Didi.
01:49But it's a shame.
01:51Now there is no need to call her Mamata Didi.
01:55You call her Didi and people know who you are talking about.
01:59Mamata Didi.
02:00She is very affectionate.
02:01She is an iron lady.
02:03But she is very humble.
02:08She is very loving.
02:11She is wonderful.
02:12What a lady she is.
02:13Fantastic.
02:14Recently there were Maharashtra elections and the result has come.
02:20What is your opinion?
02:23Mahayati has swept the state.
02:27What is your opinion on this?
02:30First of all, I don't want to give my opinion on this because
02:34Abdullah Diwana in Begane Shadi.
02:37I am from the party of Mamata ji.
02:40And I have been there and good work is being done.
02:43Good name is being done.
02:45Not only of Mamata ji, not only of Trinamool Congress.
02:49But also of ours.
02:51People believe that good work is being done.
02:53And good name is being done.
02:55So we were from that party.
02:57So you must have seen this time.
02:59The country's first and perhaps the biggest star campaigner.
03:03The name star campaigner was given to me.
03:05It was given to me.
03:07Today star campaigners are roaming in the streets.
03:10You must have seen that I have not done any campaigning anywhere.
03:13Because there were a lot of people coming.
03:16Diwana was a lot but he was saying so.
03:18But TMC is here.
03:20No, that is why I said that Abdullah Diwana in Begane Shadi.
03:23I was not here.
03:25So if I was not here, how can I give my opinion on this?
03:27And this is for sure.
03:29Even in the context of Maharashtra,
03:32a lot is still to be studied.
03:35A lot of people are talking about TVM.
03:38A lot of people are talking against the election commission.
03:44It is not that we are not listening.
03:46It is not that we have not got a lot of opportunities to believe in those things.
03:52We have seen a lot of things.
03:54We have understood a lot of things.
03:56We have felt that injustice has been done.
03:58This should not have happened.
04:00Whether it is the election in Haryana.
04:06Whether it is the election here.
04:08Some people say, sir,
04:10in a small election,
04:12why didn't it happen there?
04:14Why didn't it happen in that place?
04:16Why didn't it happen in Jharkhand?
04:18Why didn't it happen in Wayanad?
04:20Why didn't it happen in Wayanad?
04:22It was not of the whole party.
04:24So what they say,
04:26there are different aspects to it.
04:28They say it is give and take.
04:30Some people also say,
04:32give a small state.
04:34So that there is no commotion.
04:36Balance it.
04:38Give and take.
04:40Give a big state to them.
04:42The people there,
04:44they say,
04:46give it to Maharashtra.
04:48Give it to India.
04:50Give it to Jharkhand.
04:52Give it to Kashmir.
04:54Give it to India Block.
04:56Give it to Haryana.
04:58All the people,
05:00all the people you were saying,
05:02not everyone will be proven wrong.
05:04Everyone will be proven wrong there.
05:06This game,
05:08because already
05:10big people are talking about it.
05:12It is being discussed.
05:14So I will say it in two parts.
05:16First thing is,
05:18right now,
05:20I will not talk about it.
05:22Otherwise, if I talk about it,
05:24people will listen to me and talk about it.
05:26They can say,
05:28Sir, grapes are sour.
05:30Look, look, they have lost.
05:32That is why they are talking like this.
05:34I am Abdullah Diwan in Begani Shadi.
05:36I have learned TM.
05:38And second,
05:40in Mahayoti and here also,
05:42on a personal level,
05:44I have very good friends.
05:46They respect me a lot.
05:48They respect me a lot.
05:50So I also
05:52don't want to
05:54make fun of them.
05:56But you have a little
05:58concern that
06:00this might affect your Bengal
06:02predictions in 2026.
06:04In Bengal,
06:06Mamata ji is a very tough lady.
06:08Which did not happen now.
06:10She fought 6 to 6 seats there.
06:12And Mamata Banerjee
06:14swept
06:166 to 6 seats in our TMC.
06:18All 6 to 6 seats,
06:20you know.
06:24So there were a lot of
06:26efforts there.
06:28That Sandesh Khali drama,
06:30by taking the name of a woman,
06:32by taking the name of a woman,
06:34what all did not happen.
06:38The woman who was presented
06:40there as a heroine,
06:42that woman herself also lost.
06:44By doing this.
06:46How much
06:48Mamata ji tried to insult.
06:50Various things.
06:52Even in her
06:54speech.
06:56O Didi, O Didi, O Didi,
06:58O Didi, O Didi,
07:00O Didi, O Didi.
07:04People of Bengal gave
07:06such an answer.
07:08And not only that,
07:10in the elections.
07:12The elections I fought there,
07:14record-breaking victory.
07:16After that,
07:18all the elections in Bengal,
07:20including the Lok Sabha election,
07:22how much
07:24their seats were reduced.
07:26Our friends,
07:28the friends of Bharatiya Janata Party.
07:30So, Mamata ji,
07:32as I said, she is a tough lady.
07:34But,
07:36she is an iron lady.
07:38So, this did not affect her.
07:40Nothing.
07:42She did not lose in this election.
07:44Everywhere.
07:46If this is true,
07:48and if the election commission
07:50is trying to do this there.
07:52First of all,
07:54there will be no control on democracy.
07:56Where Mamata Banerjee is.
07:58And secondly, if they try to do this,
08:00then the world knows that
08:02Mamata Banerjee and her people,
08:04we can give them a tough answer.
08:08After FTII,
08:10you came here,
08:12then became a villain,
08:14then became a hero,
08:16and then you went into politics.
08:18So, what did you learn
08:20from life at every stage?
08:22You can take it in stages
08:24if you like.
08:26No, no, yes.
08:28In politics,
08:30if you say so,
08:32there is a lot of cutthroat here too.
08:34And with your popularity,
08:36with your acceptability,
08:38with your respectability,
08:40your
08:44popularity increases so much,
08:46when thousands of people
08:48are ready to listen to you
08:50and understand you with love,
08:52they come to you,
08:54they come to see you,
08:56they come to listen to you.
08:58So, those people who have been
09:00in politics for so many years,
09:02their acceptability has not been built yet.
09:04Even their family members
09:06do not come to listen to them.
09:08So, they have a lot of pain.
09:10So, what should they do?
09:12They start hurting you.
09:14They start speaking against you.
09:16I remember some of our great
09:18friends,
09:20they started
09:22telling Atal ji and Advani ji,
09:24sir, film people do this,
09:26sir, they wake up
09:28at 2 or 3 in the morning.
09:30This has never happened before.
09:32I was as busy as I was
09:34at 2 or 3 in the morning
09:36and I came to politics.
09:38But people started saying
09:40that people who get irritated
09:42and jealous of you die.
09:44That is,
09:46patience, like in films,
09:48patience teaches you a lot.
09:50Similarly, in politics,
09:52patience teaches you a lot.
09:54Patience.
09:56And,
09:58I even say in politics,
10:00after coming here,
10:02that people get spoiled in politics,
10:04especially in terms of punctuality
10:06and time.
10:08I have improved.
10:10And I am a witness.
10:12I am a witness.
10:16When he speaks at 9 o'clock,
10:18I get tensed.
10:20I have to reach at 9 o'clock.
10:26Look at life.
10:28As you progress,
10:30whichever field you are in,
10:32let's say,
10:34you are a director in a film.
10:36If you don't develop patience,
10:38how will it happen?
10:40Carty retakes 10, 20,
10:42sometimes.
10:44If a good director says,
10:46it will happen.
10:48Take your time.
10:50He will explain to you.
10:52If he scolds you badly,
10:54a good director will never do that.
10:56If he scolds you,
10:58he won't be able to do what he wants.
11:00He will get scared.
11:02So, in politics,
11:04I have seen Bibi.
11:06Competition is necessary.
11:08Cutthroat.
11:10It is also there in show business.
11:12But otherwise,
11:14like,
11:16in show business,
11:18there are chances that
11:20you will lose your mind.
11:22In politics,
11:24you have to be more humble.
11:26You have to be more careful.
11:28You see,
11:30there are so many big problems.
11:32You have never,
11:34rarely,
11:36you have never seen
11:38Sharad Pawarji or
11:40Mahatma Gandhi losing his temper.
11:42Rarely,
11:44maybe once or twice.
11:46Do you also
11:48control your temper?
11:50Very much.
11:52Because there are many people
11:54who tease you.
11:56Yes.
11:58See,
12:00Mahabharata,
12:02the serial that used to come,
12:04I have come from Ramayana.
12:06So, there was no need to watch Ramayana.
12:08But I was watching Mahabharata serial.
12:10I watched it once.
12:12And the first sentence
12:14I saw, I still remember it.
12:16Anger
12:18kills wisdom.
12:20Anger
12:22kills wisdom.
12:24It destroys your wisdom,
12:26your thinking power.
12:28If you get angry.
12:30So,
12:32don't take any decision
12:34in anger.
12:36Don't take any decision in anger.
12:38And if something big happens,
12:40keep yourself composed.
12:42You can see any
12:44good general,
12:46a good politician,
12:48Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji,
12:50or Madam Gandhi,
12:52you can see them.
12:54Jyoti Babu, Jyoti Vashu,
12:56you can name anyone.
12:58If something bad happens,
13:00don't jump out of the chair.
13:02What?
13:04What happened?
13:06When did it happen?
13:08Think with a calm mind.
13:10So that you can focus more on it.
13:12And you can give a better result.
13:14You will get angry in anger.
13:16As they say,
13:18you should not order food
13:20when you are very hungry.
13:22You will eat a lot.
13:24Correct.
