That scene from ZNMD, where Naseeruddin Shah speaks the truth, not dialogue (Screen Grab: YouTube)
There are so many movies… but there are some that just take over… they control your heart and mind in such a way that you can never get them out of your head. The 2011 film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is also a similar film. Why is this movie so special you can ask this question to any sane person who likes this movie… yes, likes it… not just watching it… because it’s not necessary to watch such movies. Their flavor comes when you experience them and implement them in your life.
There are many scenes in the film that touch your eyes and heart. Farhan, Hrithik and Abhay’s acting… their camaraderie is really amazing. Whenever these three come on screen you never think that Kabir, Emraan and Arjun are someone else. It seems that these are the same three friends who live around you that you see every day. The film stars Katrina Kaif, Kalki Keklan, Deepti Naval and Naseeruddin Shah among others. Although Naseer Sahib doesn’t have much of a role in this film, what is there is amazing.
Naseer played the role of Farhan’s father in the film.
Naseer plays the father of Farhan’s character Imraan in the film. Farhan is a person of character, he is an artist who sees the world from his perspective and prefers to stay away from stereotypes. But one bad thing about Imran’s personality is that he doesn’t understand relationships. So, he makes a mistake and falls in love with his friend Arjun’s girlfriend and unknowingly cheats his own friend. The pain of this almost destroys their relationship. But why is Imran like this? Why doesn’t he know how to save relationships? He came to know about this after meeting his father.
Why Imran could not save relations?
Imran’s father Salman Habib is also an artist. He has art in his hands and seriousness in his mind… But every day he meets Imran, he remembers his old times and the mistake he made. In a scene of the film, Imran and Salman come face to face. Son asks father why did you leave me and my mother? In response to this, Salman admits his mistake and says that at that time his age and nature was not ready for any responsibility. He loves Imran’s mother very much but he cannot handle the responsibility of the child.
Every scene has a story…
Every scene has a story…this scene also has a story. This is not just a scene but the story of Naseer’s life. Naseer spoke about this in an interview. He stated that he was 20 years old at that time. At that time he was only thinking about himself. He only cared about her happiness and feelings. The woman he married at that time was older than him. His wife wanted a child and Nasir’s desire did not allow her to do so. He was not ready for the responsibility of a child and did not know how to handle it. He admits that he made a mistake.
Nasir fell in love twice
He took an immature decision and separated from his wife. He spoke to his daughter many years later. Surprisingly, in this scene of Naseer from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, he might not be acting but repeating the true story of his life. Naseeruddin fell in love twice in his life and both times it was wonderful. His first love was with a woman about 15 years older than him and the second time he fell in love with a girl 7 years younger than him.
