Bollywood's Best Comedian | Johnny Walker Tabassum Talkies



This video from the channel Tabassum Talkies is a tribute to the legendary Bollywood comedian, Johnny Walker. The host, Tabassum, shares personal anecdotes and insights into the actor's life and career.

Here are the key points from the video:

  • The Paradoxical Comedian: Tabassum begins by noting the irony that Johnny Walker, despite his on-screen persona (often associated with being intoxicated, as seen in the clip of the song Jangal Mein Mor Naacha [01:00]), never touched alcohol in his real life [00:33]. He lived his life in a state of khumaar (intoxication/joy) without drinking [00:44].

  • Off-Screen Life and Struggle: The host recalls working with Johnny Walker in many films and doing several live shows across India and the world [02:53]. Johnny Walker shared that his life was a constant struggle: first to earn a living, then to make a name, and finally to maintain the position he had achieved in the industry [03:08].

  • Family Life: Tabassum reveals that Johnny Walker married the younger sister of the famous actress Shakila [03:33]. His wife's name was Noor, and he also worked with her in several films [03:39].

  • Philosophy on Life: The comedian believed that every person's life has three phases: childhood, youth, and old age [04:11]. He expressed a great fondness for childhood, which he called the best phase [04:17].

  • On Old Age: He described old age (Budhapa) as a difficult period that doesn't go away easily and never comes alone, bringing many illnesses with it [05:05].

  • Humility and Principles: Johnny Walker was a humble person who often credited God's grace (Allah ka karam) for his success, reminding people that he started his life as a simple bus conductor [05:24]. A key characteristic of his comedy was that he never resorted to cheap tricks or vulgar dialogues to make people laugh [05:42].

  • Lasting Legacy: Tabassum concludes by stating that even today, watching his films and hearing his voice can instantly lift one's mood and relieve pain [05:58].
