During the talk, Shah Rukh said that Taj, who was only 15, was the “youngest freedom fighter” in the country. Shah Rukh also told what his father had told him about the freedom of the country.

In an old interview, “The elders in your family have had a very revered and honourable connection with this country’s politics. So what would you like to say about today’s political situations?” He replied, “My family especially my father, we all were very closely connected with the country’s politics of those times (pre-independence India) because my father himself was the youngest freedom fighter of this country and related to people like General Shahnawaz.”

“Aye badmash idhar aao, aye ullu ke patthey tum apne aap ko itna hero bann ke ghumte rehte ho (Hey you mischievous boy come here. You son of a donkey, you roam around like a hero). You should never take your freedom for granted. We have given it to you so always maintain this freedom. At that point of time, I really used to think that by the freedom he meant from a foreign rule or something but now I understand after having grown up that this freedom he was talking about was in terms of poverty maybe, freedom from misery.”
