2nd October is Gandhi Jayanti and here is what the TV folks’ views are about Mahatma Gandhi. They also share which version of Gandhi they like out of Rajkumar Hirani's Munna Bhai and Richard Attenborough films on Gandhi.

Ssharad Malhotra: Gandhiji was the father of the nation. I have read his biography, it’s quite inspiring. He fought for the nation and set an example. His Dandi March was quite a thing and his life journey is exemplary. I like Munna Bhai version of Gandhi.

Sumit Kaul: Gandhiji's non-violence path created history and he was a fantastic human being. I like Munna Bhai version as that is very relatable in today's times. Gandhiji advocated always to speak truth and that holds true even today.

Ajay Chaudhary: Mahatma Gandhi is an iconic person and an inspiration. I have grown up reading his books. I like Munna bhai version of Gandhiji as he guided in very realistic and modern way.

Mrunal Jain: Gandhiji followed non-violence. In those times it was true. Today no noe will take aslap but will hit back. Gandhi’s contribution can’t be denied. I like Munnabhai wale Gandhiji. That was for real.

Vahbbiz Dorabjee: I respect Gandhiji but at the same time in today's world non violence doesn’t work. I like Munna Bhai movie because it’s an awesome movie and the person who have played Gandhiji has done a fabulous job. The movie had a very realistic approach with which everyone can connect.

Shashank Vyas: Basic challenge for me is being a human being. I do not follow non violence that doesn't means I am against non violence. Everything changes from generation to generation. The things which I like about Gandhiji is his simplicity and the way he fought for our country’s independence. I like the Munna Bhai version.

Shraddha Musale: I really think that the idea ‘Be the change you want to see in others’, is the biggest learning I have from Mahatma Gandhi. It is not possible to control anger and emotions which he did through the freedom struggle. To get the whole nation together is a mammoth task, I really like the Gandhiji from Richard Attenborough movie. It's real and gives the idea of the freedom struggle.

Ankit Gera: I do believe in non violence. The lesson I have learnt from Gandhiji is never do violence and choose the right path to do things. I like the Munna Bhai version as on-screen they have shown him in a fantastic way because he guides everyone rightly. The best quote by Gandhiji which I like the most is ‘My life is my message’.

Jaswir Kaur: I believe that a Smile can change the World. We heard stories about Gandhiji since our childhood of non-violence. So glad that movie like Munna Bhai was made for us to understand and connect more to Gandhiji's thoughts and get peace in this beautiful world.

Arjun Bijlani: Since Mahatma Gandhi has been my all-time favourite having followed his principles since my childhood, I enjoyed all the character of Gandhi on-screen from Raj Kumar Hirani’s Munna Bhai. Lesson I have learnt from Gandhiji is, ‘Where there is love there is life’.

Tina Dutta: The best messages that Gandhiji has given would definitely be truth and non-violence. You can be diplomatic but resorting to violence is something wrong and unnecessary as people can sort out their differences verbally too. The thing I have learnt from Gandhiji is honesty and being truthful, believing in oneself and striving for what you really want in life. I like Rajkumar Hirani’s Gandhiji on-screen.

Divyanka Tripathi: I admired his perseverance and patience he kept to achieve his goal. Lesson that I learnt from Gandhiji is that ‘A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people’.

Mohammed Nazim: I feel all that Gandhiji taught are important lessons in life but I do not think it is applicable in a place where people and the politics have grown to be such that you do not even know whether the person standing next to you is your friend or an enemy. I like Richard Attenborough’s Gandhiji on-screen.

Aniruddh Dave: Gandhiji is a super hero and he has fought for justice and independence. The best lesson I have learnt from is non violence, to always walk on the right path and tell the truth. The best quote I like is, ‘Non-violence requires double faith, faith in God and also faith in man’. I like both the films.

Shivin Narang: I believe in non violence. He is still very famous because of the work he has done for the country and for the independence. He is a very inspiring person for me and even for today's generation youth and adults. Non violence is the best lesson I have learnt from Gandhiji. My favourite movie is Munna Bhai in which they have portrait Gandhiji’s character in a very superb manner.

Sneha Wagh: Best Lesson that I learnt from Gandhiji is non violence. Gandhi from Richard Attenborough is my favourite as it’s more close to reality. Gandhi from Munna Bhai was very today's world's description. Easy to understand and both the versions were perfect in their Unique way.

Nalini Negi: Mahatma Gandhiji is my favourite since school days. I strongly believe in the path of non-violence and a pure form of justice. Even if you are a violent person by nature, you can always mellow down and lead a peaceful and a non-violent life. He was very intelligent and a superb freedom fighter. The lesson I learnt from Gandhiji is that ‘You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty’.

Himmanshoo Ashok Malhotra: In today's world it's very difficult to preach non violence as the world is very competitive. The temperature outside and inside the people are soaring high all the time. Anytime anyone is ready to jump into a street fight hence it is increasingly difficult to preach non violence in today's scenario. Also whatever I heard and read about Gandhiji is his sheer will power, ferocious determination and sense of load some patience. It's still difficult to even imagine the fact that one man through his sheer values and philosophy of Ahimsa lead the whole country and helped us gain full independence and freed us from the slavery of British Raj. He must be an epitome of a man. I wish he would be alive so as we could get a chance to see him or meet him once in our lifetime. I relate to Munna Bhai Gandhigiri fundas. They are cool and has very deep meaning. It truly had a major impact on all of us and literally taught us a thing or two to how to imbibe the same principle in today's times. Hats off and salute today to the father of our Nation.

Simple Kaul: Yes I believe in non violence but I also believe that sometimes it’s important to fight for your justice or else the world will take your for granted or treat you as weak. I look up to Mahatma Gandhi as anyone else. What he achieved with non violence and immense will power is commendable. His selfless fight for justice and making it his soul focus is something we all look up to and respect him for and his love all was very spiritual. Lesson learnt is never to give up on your faith and what is right and fight for it through other means which is non violence and still able to achieve success. He awakened the conscience of every Indian. Richard Attenborough's Gandhi as that was the real portrait of Gandhi and his vision and what he did for the country.

Neha Kakkar: Gandhiji is the father of our nation. He believed in non violence and fought for our country's Independence. I completely believe in the non violence movement started by him. The best lesson he has taught all Indians is to stand by our turf come what may and do whatever it takes o achieve your goal with peace and harmony. My favourite version is Rajkumar Hirani's Munna Bhai because he has a knack of connecting with the audience in a very entertaining yet non preachy way. The film is an inspiration to all.
