" I am not as arrogant as I could be, but non of us are as humble as we should be!" - Simple words, but deep to the core and true to the words.

[PriyankaSingh-opje]

I love the fact that you let me him speak so much and kept quiet at important places. We need more listeners in interviews. This is so important. Narratives need to be heard.

[chettriyuvraj]

I had never seen an Omar Abdullah interview before, but he is as well spoken as you would expect. Bloody honest as well, how he conceded he's not the right person to ask about a normal Muslim in India, what with his privilege and all. Great interview.

[ChetanChalotra]

Being from J&K, I always had a completely different image of Dr. Omar Abdullah. This interview changed it for good. Such a smart, down-to-earth and humorous person!

[peeyushtripathi]

Omar Abdullah ... where have you been brother?? such refreshing breeze !! we need more of you ...from you!!...Samdish, Fantastic Job !! i am so glad i ran into this interview.

[t_g_beauty]

Such a polite man!!❤❤❤
We need such educated politicians like him who r down to earth n humble too
Loved it !!

[dileep-kumar]

Omar Abdullah...Man! How intelligent, experienced, soft hearted, educated and witty personality we have. That's why the average system of our society failed him.
The answer on nepotism in politics was awesome that you inherit enemies too you don't know personally. His concern on victimising the minority is being sensed by many of us too. They chose to stay here. Instead of moving forward we are going backwards.
It was a pleasure listening to him. Thanks.
Thanks Samdish for bringing these special interviews with intellects with good hearts and wisdom.

[shilpapanchal]

This interview really changed my perspective on Kashmir, Muslim, modi and most importantly Omar

[Vishlogy]

Well, the moral of the story is, when you give people room to talk, the answers are more genuine and authentic. Great interview Samdhish.

[ArpitPokharna]

That CPM response was so so so smooth and savage 🤌

[legendsneverdie]

I can proudly say he is a great Leader 😊M from jammu nd jst for modi bhakts m not Muslim khi vo soche ki sirf muslim supporters hai OMAR SAHAB ke
He is undoubtedly one of the best Leader of our country educated, friendly, determined nd fearless 👍

[tusharjain]

Damn Man, what an interview. Now I think of buying the subscription. The best you do is allow the guest to speak and complete his views and give him the freedom in his speech. Absolutely mesmerised by this interview. Samdish you are a gem

[kaushikka]

The beautiful part of this interview is where he checks his privilege. Humble af

[razi]

Never had I ever thought I'd not be bored while watching a political interview. Kudos to Samdish.

[anisursamsung]

42:13 the timing of Azaan. Man. That was some moment.

[ankur]

Love how Omar knows his privileges and acknowledge that before answering the question and also how Samdish being just a good interviewer and asking the right question at the right time without cutting them off in between. Loved this one!

[duderajan]

Fantastic interview !! first time an interview of a kashmiri politician so open, so forthcoming, and rooted in new realities of India and J&K in particular. Good Job!

[saurabhsharma]

I have been watching Samdish for a long time but it's my first comment even before finishing the interview.
One of the best interviews I have seen in a while.
Mr. Omar is really a well informed person and it's a delight to listen to him.

[mistory]

42:22 is nothing but pure synchronicity. That prayer sound coming from a loudspeaker was a cherry on top after those hard hitting facts being spoken by Mr. Abdullah 🤯
