People often have a fear regarding Artificial Intelligence i.e. AI that this technology will take away people’s jobs. But famous filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says that AI is not a loss but an advantage for middle class people.

Big companies are facing real losses
Shekhar Kapur said that the loss of AI is actually being caused to those big companies which were run by middle class people. Now middle class people do not want to work with them and want to do something new themselves.

Youth are leaving jobs and focusing on startups
According to the filmmaker, today’s young generation wants to open their own startup instead of working in factories and companies. With the help of AI, youth are now able to work on their ideas and move forward.

Middle class is getting the most benefit from AI
Shekhar Kapur said that the biggest benefit of AI is getting to the middle class people. The use of Artificial Intelligence has increased rapidly in today’s young generation and more people will join it in the coming time.

AI is an easy solution to expensive education
He said that in today’s time education has become very expensive but AI system is no less than a gift for the middle class. The courses which were earlier available for lakhs of rupees are now available for free or at low cost on AI platforms.

AI will change the entire education system
Shekhar Kapur believes that in the coming times, AI will change the entire education system. The things which are taught in books and coaching centers are now easily available on AI platforms like Chat GPT.

Big business of coaching center will also be affected
He told that coaching centers have opened in every street and locality in the country, which have become a business worth about Rs 25 billion. But now the content taught there is available on different AI platforms.

In the end, Shekhar Kapur said that in the coming times, youth will not just run after jobs but will give more importance to their work and their dreams. AI will be the biggest help in this change.

Shekhar kapoor recalls a moment with nusrat fateh ali khan: Film maker Shekhar Kapoor shared the story during the shooting of his film ‘Bandit Queen’. Posting on social media, he told that the late singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan had a unique demand.

This incident is from the time when the music legend R.D. Burman had passed away. Shekhar Kapoor shared this special moment on Instagram and said that the pain could be seen clearly in Nusrat’s voice.

‘You watch your movie and I will lose looking into your eyes’: Nusrat

Shekhar told, a background score was being prepared for ‘Bandit Queen’. This scene was of the Behmai massacre and the subsequent scene, where many pyre were burning and the compassionate voices of women were echoing. During this, Nusrat made a strange demand to me. He said that Shekhar ji, you watch your film and I will sing in your eyes. “

Shekhar wrote, “When Mike was turned on, Nusrat had landed in my eyes, as if he was reading my soul. Nusrat knew that I had a deep relationship with RD Burman. He prepared the music of my first film ‘Masoom’. He had tied the voice of Nusrat and his eyes.

What else did Shekhar Kapoor tell

He suggested that if someone sees a ‘Bandit Queen’ again, then in the post -scene after the Behmai massacre, he must hear the music of Nusrat, who will take the audience into a deep experience.

Shekhar said, “Working with Nusrat was the same. I make films so that I can find the place between birth and death where creativity resides.” Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died of a heart attack on 16 August 1997.
