00:00What do you call a gentleman?

00:05You know, men have a stereotype.

00:07They have a macho hype.

00:09He'll run the house, he'll save the girl.

00:11He won't cry.

00:13He won't be weak.

00:17I thought, this won't be right.

00:21I didn't want to be a hero, a savior or a superman.

00:24I wanted to be a man who can cry, who can sing, who can save someone if he can.

00:30I get sentimental in Hindi.

00:34I sing in Punjabi.

00:36I'm that kind of a man.

00:38I don't know how to tie a tie, but I know how to cook properly.

00:42I don't care if your English is slow or fast.

00:45I don't care if you're gay or straight or what your caste is.

00:48I know that the ads have told you to play too cool.

00:51And fathers asked you to be disciplined as if you're always in school.

00:56They said, be a gentleman.

01:00But they also said, being a gentleman is bad.

01:04Because you have to save your honor.

01:07You have to put on a magical perfume.

01:10That's how girls will die for you.

01:18But why will they die?

01:22They shouldn't die.

01:25Wherever I am, wherever I stand, they shouldn't be afraid.

01:29Pink can do anything between Pink and Pink Floyd.

01:33If it's too dark, he can also be afraid.

01:37Because violence has happened to him too.

01:39Patriarchy has touched him in a wrong way.

01:44He grows up under the burden of growing up fast.

01:47His heart is only 300 grams.

01:50But there's an iron social cover on it.

01:54Don't tie him to a bus, car or a gun when he's a kid.

01:58It's not necessary that the driver should be good.

02:00It's possible that he's not good at machines.

02:03But the only condition of being a man is that he should be honest.

02:09It's not necessary that my passion should be guitar, flowers,

02:12that I should have flowers for my girlfriend.

02:14It's possible that I should have a long car.

02:16It's possible that every ride in life should be a pool.

02:20You know, I take care of the kids too.

02:23And when I get tired, I also make ginger tea.

02:27There's a lot of difference between a boy and a girl.

02:29And this difference is beautiful.

02:31I know that.

02:33But I believe that making a difference is the biggest sin.

02:39Maybe that's why I tell my son that it's not necessary to pull a chair for him,

02:43to open the door of the car.

02:44But when something is wrong, say it first.

02:49Because men are not made of six-packs.

02:51They are not made of earning a lot.

02:53They are not made of shouting or hiding tears.

02:56When someone feels cold, his heart also feels cold.

03:01The one who feels pain is actually a man.

03:07Whether you sleep on the carpet or walk on the red carpet.

03:12Let me tell you, you are the most powerful as long as there lives a gentleman in you.
