Kabir Khan says censor board wanted to cut Om Puri's 'Jai Shri Ram' dialogue from Bajrangi Bhaijaan: 'People loved that'
Director Kabir Khan has opened up about a key moment during the release of his 2015 blockbuster 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', revealing that the censor board wanted to remove the dialogue 'Jai Shri Ram' from a crucial scene. Speaking at the eighth edition of The Indian Express's Expresso, the filmmaker shared how he fought to keep the line in. He recalled a particular scene set in Pakistan where the late Om Puri's character, a maulana, says 'Jai Shri Ram' to Salman Khan's character, who is hesitant to say 'Khuda Hafiz'. Kabir explained, 'And Om Puri's character, without batting an eyelid, says 'Jai Shri Ram' and the censor actually asked me to cut that. I asked why and they said that Muslims won't like it.' He responded with, 'I said 'Sir, what's my name? I don't mind it at all.'' Kabir also recalled watching the film on opening day, which was Eid. 'I get gooseflesh thinking of it now. And the censors though they will not like it.' He added, 'I feel you have to stick to what you believe in and at the end of the day, it's goodness, why won't people like it? As I said, sometimes, the gatekeepers come in and stop that but the people don't. People loved that, people loved whatever we were showing in that film, the politics behind it.' When asked if he could make 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' in today's political climate, Kabir said, 'If the film still gets love, then it means that somewhere it hit home. I feel it's the gatekeepers who sometimes draw these limits.' 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' is a 2015 drama directed by Kabir Khan, centred around Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi (played by Salman Khan), a devout Hanuman bhakt who embarks on a heartwarming journey to reunite a lost mute Pakistani girl, Munni (Harshaali Malhotra), with her family across the border. The film explores themes of love, humanity, and unity beyond religion and nationality. Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays a Pakistani journalist who joins Pawan on his mission, while Kareena Kapoor Khan stars as Rasika, Pawan's supportive love interest. With its emotional storytelling and strong performances, 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' became one of India's highest-grossing films and won widespread acclaim for its message of compassion and hope.

Censor board wanted to cut ‘Jai Shri Ram' from Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kabir Khan fought for it: ‘They said Muslims won't approve when a Pakistani maulana says it'
Director Kabir Khan, known for films like 83, Ek Tha Tiger, Chandu Champion, among many others, graced the eighth edition of The Indian Express' Expresso. At the event, Kabir reflected on one of his most successful works, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, starring Salman Khan. In the film, Salman plays an Indian Hindu man who crosses the border to safely escort a young Muslim girl back to her home in Pakistan. On the way, his character meets many individuals who help him grow beyond his limited understanding of religion as he rises up to understand the religion of humanity. When asked whether he could make Bajrangi Bhaijaan in today's political climate, Kabir replied that while the masses generally grasp a film's nuance, those who position themselves as society's gatekeepers, such as the CBFC, can sometimes create obstacles by anticipating problems that may never arise. Kabir recalled a scene featuring Om Puri, in which a Pakistani maulana says 'Jai Shri Ram.' He shared that the CBFC asked him to remove the dialogue, fearing it might offend Muslims. Kabir shared that he believed that he could still make the film and said, 'If the film still gets love, then it means that somewhere it hit home. I feel it's the gatekeepers who sometimes draw these limits.' He then recalled his conversation with the censor board and shared that in a particular scene, which is set in Pakistan, Om Puri's character waves goodbye to Salman's character and he can sense that Bajrangi is hesitant in saying 'Khuda Hafiz'. He then asks the other character, 'Aap logo mein kya kehte hain? Jai Shri Ram na? (What do you guys say? Jai Shri Ram?)' 'And Om Puri's character, without batting an eyelid, says 'Jai Shri Ram' and the censor actually asked me to cut that. I asked why and they said that Muslims won't like it,' he recalled. Kabir then told them that he too was a Muslim and he did not mind it. 'I said 'Sir, what's my name? I don't mind it at all,' he shared. ALSO READ | A decade later, Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan reveals the future we refused to see, and failed to avoid Kabir Khan recalled growing up in Delhi where, at one point, 'Jai Shri Ram' was used to greet others and wasn't particularly used to make a political statement. 'I have grown up in a Delhi where 'Jai Shri Ram' was not a political salutation. It was used by everybody and I have been in Old Delhi where 'Jai Shri Ram' was like saying 'hello' and 'goodbye', so I asked why would they feel bad about this? I fought for it. I stuck to it,' he said. Kabir recalled watching the opening day show of Bajrangi Bhaijaan on the day of Eid where a lot of 'blue collar Muslim workers' were in the audience, and they cheered for this exact scene when it played in the theatre. 'I get gooseflesh thinking of it now. and the censors though they will not like it. I feel you have to stick to what you believe in and at the end of the day, it's goodness, why won't people like it? As I said, sometimes, the gatekeepers come in and stop that but the people don't. People loved that, people loved whatever we were showing in that film, the politics behind it,' he said. The eighth edition of Expresso was presented by HSBC in association with Taj Lands End, Mumbai, Seetu Kohli Homes as the Luxury Partner, Chambers of Kartik Seth as the Knowledge Partner, and Radico as the Celebration Partner.

Picture these dishes. A yakhni reimagined with kantola or teasel gourd. A sticky toffee pudding glazed with mahua jaggery caramel. A risotto cooked with foraged wild greens. It's not everyday that some of the country's top chefs spotlight ingredients deeply rooted in the culinary culture of India's forest communities. In the process, they are also making these wild foods fun and relevant for the urban diner. The effort is part of a larger initiative of the Wild Food Festival, to highlight the significance of India's wild produce, and understand their complex relationship with the ecosystem. The seventh edition of the one-day festival is scheduled to be held on 23 August in Mumbai. Also Read | What India cooks during the monsoon Since its inception in 2018 by OOO Farms, an agricultural project that works with farming communities in Gujarat and Maharashtra, the festival has managed to build a dialogue around food security and nutrition deficiency in the country. In 2022, it was joined by The Locavore, a platform that champions India's diverse regional food culture through storytelling and advocacy. 'The idea behind partnering with restaurants and professional chefs is to extend the conversation beyond the one-day festival. It is also a great way to showcase innovations and creativity with these wild ingredients across cuisines and formats," says chef Thomas Zacharias, the founder of The Locavore. Around 10 restaurants from Mumbai and Pune are part of the endeavour this year, and has seen chefs travelling to Palghar in Maharashtra to understand how the adivasi communities forage and cook with raanbhaji, or the uncultivated monsoon produce of the region. Kashmiri thali at Folk, Mumbai. For chef and restaurateur Jasleen Marwah, who is known for her expertise in Kashmiri cuisine, the challenge was to present the ingredients in a restaurant format. 'Considering most of the produce is bitter or sour, I zeroed in on a Kashmiri thali, so all I had to do was find the correct vegetable to match the flavour profile of the dishes," says Marwah, who helms Folk, a restaurant specialising in regional Indian food in Mumbai. The menu features a classic dum aloo cooked with a vegetable called pendhra, a yakhni with teasel gourd, and batter-fried akkarghoda, a wild fern that mimics nadru or lotus stem. After multiple trials, chef Ali Akbar Baldiwala has come up with six dishes for the wild food menu this month at the restaurant Slink & Bardot in Mumbai. Known for his playful renditions of global favourites using local ingredients, he has recreated a kimchi noodle salad with wild bamboo shoots, a Vietnamese dish called Bo La Lot or chicken skewers with fatangadi leaves (similar to betel leaf), fish parcels grilled in palash (the flame of the forest tree) leaves, a take on the Parsi patra ni machi, and a risotto using forest greens. 'Diners tend to find the protein-forward dishes more relatable. But the others need a bit of prodding. I am hopeful we will get there," he says. Kartoli or teasel gourd salad at Malaka Spice, Pune. The festival also allows restaurants to drive the conversation around local sourcing. 'As chefs we routinely cook with zucchini, asparagus and artichokes, but tend to overlook vegetables that are indigenous to our country," says Ilvika Chandawarkar, who handles research and business development at Pune's Malaka Spice restaurant. Although wild foods require meticulous processing, as some of them contain alkaloids, and need to be cooked with a souring agent, "it's not very different when chefs cook with say enoki mushrooms for the first time. They are not native to India, right?" she points out. Chandawarkar has incorporated wild bamboo, teasel gourd, loth, a type of tuber with stalks and pendhra into her Asian-inspired menu. If there is one ingredient that has caught on the hyperlocal food trend, it is the mahua (or mahura), considered to be the crown jewel of the tribal food culture. It is the 'tree of life', and provides food, fodder and fuel to the indigenous communities living across the tribal belt of India. From cocktails to desserts, chefs are now drawn in by its nuanced flavour profile. For the festival, chef Nikhil Menon is serving a Japanese-style ice-cream sando made of shokupan bread at Mizu Izakaya in Mumbai this month. Inspired by mahua roti, a staple among the forest dwellers, it is a textural delight complete with a sauce made of mahua nectar, honey and white shoyu, and butter toasted mahua. Mahua sticky toffee pudding at Maska Bakery, Mumbai. 'I have always been fascinated by the folklore surrounding mahua, and how it is seen as a matriarchal figure. The fact that it is super seasonal makes it more special," says chef Heena Punwani, who runs Maska Bakery in Mumbai, and first encountered the flowers in 2019 during her stint at The Bombay Canteen. She has crafted two warm desserts (available via Maska bakery Airmenus this month) keeping the monsoon season in mind — cinnamon rolls layered with mahua butter, and a sticky toffee pudding with mahua and dates. Punwani takes them up a notch by roasting the flowers in ghee and turning them into a caramel for a sticky and chewy mouthfeel. The possibilities are truly endless.
