Looks doesn't matter when you are Indian at heart.
He is a true Indian
Why are u saying like this, he already is indian.
😍😍😍
But some place it's matter , jab north east India ke logo ko khaa jata hai tum hmaare jaise nhi dikhte , Chinese ya Nepali bolte hai unhe , this is unfair
Yes... looks doesnt matter....
He is indian bro...
His accent is totally INDIAN..
WE LOVE HIM..
haha its because he is Indian buddy.

Its like saying Kamala Harris accent is American..Its obvious..
I’m an Anglo Indian born in Kashmir to Anglo parents who decided to leave India for Pakistan in 1947. I’ve always been proud of my Indian heritage. My parents left Pakistan for Australia in the ‘60’s. I still cling to my roots with a huge amount of respect to both sides of my DNA .
Sis what does anglo means?
Is it something related to english people?
@@user-et9zm3qh8r white , British India or whose ancestry is mix , matalab , india father , white mother
Or white mother indian father
what makes you Indian besides being born there?
@@TheSunshinefee constitution of India as well. He is eligible to get Indian citizenship
@@user-et9zm3qh8r let me explain what Anglo Indian means. During the British raj, when india was a colony and was ruled by the British, many britishers had to move to India leaving their families behind. So they got settled in india and married indian girls. Their children were called Anglo Indians. British father and Indian mother.
However it was not always happy ending. Many of them left their wives behind, went back to England and never came back.
Bro you're an Indian brother of ours,
Very happy to see you embracing India in its entirety
Well, I was born here, so ... I had to.❤️
To be honest,
His Hindi is better than my whole career .
TBH, his hindi is not even completely grammatically correct. I don't know where he lives in in India but I am pretty sure Hindi is not his first language
@@aozora_2k how many people in India have Hindi as there first language?
Oof
same for meee!!
Abe wo india ka hai toh hindi toh sahi hogi hi
His father had an impeccable command on hindi a well as urdu. He was a great actor. RIP sir. Like father, like son.
Who's his father?
@@exoticwitch5553 Tom Alter his father
@@exoticwitch5553 Tom Alter... Indian actor.....Guru of Shaktimaan.

...ur dad is always alive in our heart....he was a gr8 actor.....we have literally grown up seeing his plays,tv serials n movies...noone could dare to say he was not Indian ...he had very much grip on the local languages n basically was a gr8 Indian n a Padmashree awardee which is least to his stature of acting n i wish we could see u soon in films n experience Tom alter sir via u.....Love u bro...n miss sir ❤️
Tom Alter was a legend. Great to see you here Jamie. Loads of love ❤
When there is black American why can't there be white Indian.
Americans identity is not only white. It is black also
@@piyushmishra2702 that's what I'm telling why can't people accept white Indian.
Absolutely
Get this person a shield!
Oh I mean an award for this comment ❤️
Well said
The way he expresses his thoughts, his body language and the way he swings his head. That is so Indian.
Well, born and raised here, so ... naturally.
@@JamieAlterIndian You are Anglo-Saxon I think
I can understand how much struggle you have with these🙏
This is what a "Quality" comment looks like.
@anushka s sab log aap jitne hooshiyar nahi hote didi 😁
Fascinating video! I have an Indian father and American mother and grew up in Mumbai until I was 13, so I have a similar story. Fascinating to hear your perspective since I've been aware of Tom Alter's history. Love your fluent, sophisticated command of Hindi! I'll check out some of your other content.
Well your experience is still different to him, he spent his entire childhood in India whilst you moved out when you were only 13, so you grew up in the US. His story is quite interesting even though my friend had to translate this entire video 😂
@@jamesmorgan8505 so how was the video??
You remind me of one of my favorite Somerset Maugham quotes :)
"For men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives' tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read, and the God they believed in." - W. Somerset Maugham in The Razor's Edge
Dear Jamie, you are more "Indian" than many wannabe-American Indians in this country. Great content and narration.
wrong. Jamie is more Indian than the Indian born Indians of Indian origin. The guy can settle in United States any time he wants, he has more earning potential in the states but he just doesn't wanna leave his country. How many Indians will do that if given the opportunity of moving to States?
@@arcticwanderer2109 u re right man,,
For one person to appreciate you don't have to put other people down.
@@suyashawasthi1 no that was the truth,,and people's like u and me also,,have to accept that truth
When so many Indians wish to become US citizens, you came back to India.. Love your love for India. Our India.
When i heard his hindi for the first time....i got socked.....*REAL SHOCKED*
Same here
Im also yaar
Me too
Literally
Yaa
Omg so brilliant ❤️how fluently you speak Hindi..i am shocked as we used to lack and forget some words in hindi when saying on daily basis ..Kudos to you🙌🇮🇳
I guess you missed this video then: ruclips.net/video/eEcExdWqpeU/видео.html
I miss your dad, his simplicity and the pride in his voice when speaking hindi/urdu a lot...may God give him peace! He was blessed!
I’m American, but all four of my grandparents were born in India.
This man is 100% Indian, and that’s that. He speaks Hindi better than most American born Indians, myself included.
I can't believe it today.
Thanks ❤️ American ❤️
less than 30 % of people in India speak Hindi as native language
@Very Good Not true my friend. you are only talking about Hindi belt. Forcing to teach Hindi in school in non-Hindi states does not help any one.
That's exactly what he would say about you, it's absolutely normal, where u r born has a big affect on u.
@@jamevay True, most of us from non-Hindi states pickup Hindi via movies and TV. I did have Hindi in school, but that was before TV, so I didn't really understand since my exposure to Hindi speakers was zero.
Your hindi & way of speaking is better than 90% of Indians 🤣. It’s amazing!!!
His papa and grandpapa spoke Hindu and Urdu fluently and taught him well
He is indian!!!!!
@@sahersrivastava6880 Yes I know because of his family and school education he can speak Hindi and Urdu fluently just like almost any other North Indian who lived in his hometown
He is indian u fool
He is an Indian from birth🙄
Really brought a smile…today …I have been to the US , lived in Gulf and I found that people appreciate a person as himself ( though we can’t be otherwise) Thanks for sharing 😊🙏
Dear Brother Jamie,
It may be a naturality to you for accepting Indianness. But your work and attitude has brought lot of love to our nation. I send my deepest regards for your being and humility. May we all learn from you and Tom Sir's contribution to the nation as an Indian. I sincerely send you lot of love brother Jamie and I wish to meet you some day. Aapke jazbe air shaksiyat ko saadar pranaam 🙏

नमस्ते जेमी , आप तो पुरे देशी हो यही अनुभव कर अच्छा लगता है और भारत की बहुत याद दिलाता है। रंग गोरा हो काला दिल तो हमारा हिन्दुस्तानी ही है भारतीय है, जो आनंद अपने स्वभाव के साथ मिलकर जिने का है वह कही नही है।

Indians struggle in imitating American accent but for my boi Jamie Indian accent is smooth af.
Nicely presented, Jamie. Apart from linguistic capabilities, one’s attitude and willingness to accept, is very important. This isn’t just an opinion, but based on my life experiences both in India and the US.
Your Hindi Speaking is Top Exellent it is like Indian News Readers .
We are so Proud to have Indians like Yourself.

You are amazing for your uniqueness. Thanks for embracing the difference instead of running from it. Im an Indian born and raised in Australia. The path for me has also been confusing and at times, troubled. There has been shame, embarrassment and isolation.

Hey Jamie, youtube recommended your video. And what a pleasant surprise. Great to know about your experiences. I’ve been living in US for a while and therefore can relate. Your love for india is unquestionable. You’re a true Bharat ka Saput!
Humanity matters more than citizenship.

I just came across this video of yours and greatly impressed with your Indianness and your upbringing, I watched a couple of your dad's films and admire him. After all these years ...I saw your video and I am amazed at your strong Indian connection having been born here and you had that sense of belonging, connection and relate to "our Indian" culture. That is very humbling for me to note. You have such a pure heart and are true to your roots. It opened my eyes to think from your perspective and dimension. Good luck to you. I will follow your posts and keep up the good work that you are doing.
Jamie so wonderful seeing your videos and listening to you. Met your parents in Mussoorie loved them and now so so proud of you too...I've shared your videos with all my pals especially my friends from Mussoorie. Love you for being such a proud happy Indian.

Jami ji aap great ho Aapne videshon me apni Indian ki pahchan real rakhi
Although you have been mostly in USA since childhood, but you have not forgotten your mother tongue Hindi... you speak very pure Hindi...So sweet of you
@Yuvraj Sharma No it's not, your mother tongue is the language spoken at your birthplace- he's born in India, hence Hindi
He grew up in India, hasn’t been in US since childhood
No 90% of the time he was in India, only 6 years of college he went to US
Only 6 +1 (childhood) 7 years of his life he was in US out of 42 years 😏..
His mother tongue is English
