“I’m not a rockstar, I’m a legend” -Freddie Mercury
What beautiful people Freddie and his family are.
His mom is so lovley.
Miss you Freddie...
Indians must to be proud :D
Yes we are...
@@ChessCat1500 my husband is Indian and he is also proud :D
Damn right ! Love him, RIP legend .
Oh you have no idea how proud we are.
We really love our indian parsee peoples like this guy, sir tata birla, godrej ❤😍
They(parsee) are amazing and talented 😁❤
Jeez can we just take a moment to appreciate how good he is at drawing!?!?
Agree, he was a VERY talented artist!👍🏿
“I’m going to try to make it as a singer” you made it Freddie!
Thank you Mama and Papa Mercury for giving us the worlds greatest singer.... we will always miss him
❤️
Mr and Mrs Bulsara actually: according to the footages, the artistic leaning was from her mum's side: she was a very good pianist and loved art so he was surrounded with that atmosphere even before he was born.
His Mum probably deserves more credit --- she supported Freddie's musical dreams whereas his father disappoved of it and thought it was childish
True
MAMA! OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
He is the genius of our century. His voice is unforgettable. Happy Birthday, Freddie!
Seeing him in the 60s before the long hair made me cry
He looks young
Poor little young Freddie never knew what would happen in 1991
Freddie live forever
Happy Birthday, Mr. Fahrenheit! 🙌😘
Thanks

I burst into tears when his mum said he always told her, “Don’t worry, we’ll do something in this place.” ❤️He definitely did something grand, and deserves the utmost love and respect ✊ god bless you, Freddie. We all miss you very much. You live on through the music. Long live Queen!
Talking about immigrants: they are always strong intelligent hardworking people, you know. Some of them even belong to the elite of their societies (f.i. Freddie educated at a british private boarding school in Bombay (now Mumbai) Got to be tolerant: educated hardworking people always do a lot of good to the communities they live in, in spite of the colour of their skin.
@@amiquigonzales7917- well said. A lot of people emigrate for a lot of reasons.
To me he had the most beautiful brown eyes... he was so talented, his drawings were great... so sad, gone too soon. He was unique, no doubt about that😍💕
Have you seen his clothes on display after he switched to a fashion designer ?
He is so smart and talented. I love him the most
He was ;(

My Fairy King, Mr. Bad Guy, The Great Pretender.
I Still Love You, Freddie.
Happy Birthday.
Maria Daniela You forgot Mr Fahrenheit
@@kingjiimmy160
Hahaha! Yes. Thanks for tell me.
Singer of Songs, Lover of Life ❤❤❤
Our Killer Queen, Our Good old fashioned lover boy, our scaramouche
Maria Daniela And Mr. Fahrenheit! 😊
His mum loved him so much.
RIP to his mum.
I agree. She did. And seeing how proud she was of him is so sweet. I've seen many videos of her. She seemed like she was the sweet little old lady that you couldnt help but love to pieces.
He had a great Mum --- the movie seems to indicate she supported his musical aspirations from the beginning but his father didnt --- not sure if this actually true or not ??
Freddie had really a great mum but when she past away??? Which year,thank you when someone can answer my question ;-)
@@danielaschwarz1971 November 13, 2016;
Dearest Freddie, sadly missed! 😥Happy Birthday Darling!! 😘
Born in zanizibar africa, 1st gig rocking in india private school to becoming rockstar who has a story like that. Faruk aka mr mercury
Farrokh Bulsara.... Persian Name (IRAN)
Still in iran are living many parsi ... in yazd and they have Tempel .
@Raju Karnik
his name is parsi or irani... many people have the same name in iran . ... Farrokh
Like farzad farrokh. .. He is a persian or iranian singer!
@@parisshakoor6981 he was an Indian ZoroaStrian. Simply Google it
He never went to iran...nor did his father or grand father
Incredible talent, a fan since ‘73...went to see them live in the 70’s and the 80’s, still listen every day, now all my kids and now grand kids are fans....🌩⚡️👏🏼
Interviewer: "Your birthplace was... Zanzibar?"
Freddie: Yes, that's right.
Interviewer: What were your parents doing there?
Freddie: They were freakin' out... hahaha!
I really love his gentle speaking voice and clear, posh accent (sounds posh to me anyway).
After watching this, I feel like there should be a whole Netflix series on his life, from the very beginning, starting in Zanzibar and India.
Happiest n sweetest person of the world who had all his good relationships until last breath.May God always give him lot of happiness wherever he is now.
Dr. Beast omg here we go again. The movie is a biopic it was meant to be dramatic even in the end of the credits it says that the scenes are dramatized and fictional. I do agree there should be a movie only about Freddie’s life though but then again he was a very private man so I think bohrap is okay.
Thank you and I thing Malek is not the best choice, he is too puny and doesn’t resemble him
Well, he learned the "proper academic" English in school in India and other Queen members said how it was ironic that he spoke it better than themselves, who were born and raised and never left England. haha And he had quite an old-fashioned accent, and they joked no one in England except him and Queen Elizabeth II spoke it.
YES MRS.BULSARA FREDDIE LOVED LONDON,THAT IS WHY HE BOUGHT GARDEN LODGE 🙏💖💖💖💖😭😭😭🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🎵🎵🎵🔥🔥👑
I remember having a conversation with a Scottish friend abot music, and I happened to mention that, as Indians we were super proud of Freddie Mercury. Confused, she was like "What's he got to do with India?!". No matter how much I insisted she just couldn't believe Freddie started life as an Indian. A Wikipedia search later she was like, "Oh my god! He WAS freakin Indian!". The smirk on my face was strong af lol. But having said that, thanks to Britain and their amazing platform for rock n roll, Freddie was able to find his space to become one of the greatest frontmen in rock history. Thank you Britain and thank you Freddie. Your voice still resonates everywhere.
I hope it's because everyone has already seen it? It was incredible to see him, and Queen, come to life again!
The theatre was full when I was there
@Yelizaveta Ursuliak Parsis are more Indian than Iranians. They have been here since like the BCEs.
Other famous Parsi Indians are like Jamshetji Tata, Dadabhai Naoroji etc.
And who said he knew Arabic? He didn't. He spoke Gujarati at home. An Indian language, just like all Parsis do.
And even then, Iranians don't speak Arabic. They speak Farsi.
@Yelizaveta Ursuliak- no, his mother tongue was Gujarati - an Indian language. HIs parents were Parsi-Gujaratis. Meaning, his parents spoke Gujarati at home. Plus, Old Persia AND (NEW) IRAN have nothing to do with Arabic LOL. Please, study some geography LOL.
@@methmemelab8819 Which theatre are you referring to and in which place ? i saw the movie last December in Colombo, Sri Lanka at 1/30 in the afternoon and there was a substantial crowd for an afternoon movie, in a country that does not speak much English !
love Freddie no one can close to his voice
My Freddie, forever an angel.
I wonder why there’s still no museum for Freddie? I’m sure millions of fans all over the world would love to see his early paintings, concert costumes, photographs, favorite books and other memorable relics. Mary should have opened one in garden lodge, imho.
There's one in zanzibar
You’re a legend Freddie. Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday Freddie, we all love and miss you
Freddie was a spitting image of his mom.
No matter what people may have felt about this man , if they didn't like his life style , or the way he chose to live his life , his sexuality etc, the man had a good heart , his heart was in the right place when it came to how he treated people , Freddy Mercury was a true artist and a good person , I'm sure he has a special place in God's kingdom .
miss you Freddie, happy birthday❤😢
Happy birthaday!!! The most talent showman of the world!!

Freddie Mercury: The Untold Story ❤️
This was amazing. Thank you!❤
I am feeling proud that he's Indian origin
Why don't he and his sister look that Indian? Both their parents were full Indian
@@gaminglegend Indians come in many different colours and looks.
@@eesaalikhan3099 an origin is where a community or culture is born. Parsi origin is Persia. If that's the case than his origin is Africa.
@@gaminglegend To me he look and his sister look Indians. Just look at our Indian actors like Hritik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor, Meiyang Chang to know in how much variety Indian comes.
@@stynershiner1854 Why do so many people think that Freddie was white? Is it because of how he looked?
Happy birthday
Mi amado Freddy Mercury. Eres y seras el mejor
What a darling little baby he was!!!😍
MY GOD I SEE KASHIMIRA,...AND I CAN SEE THERESEMBLANCE ON HER OF FREDDIE,SHE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE HIM,I OOVE THEM BOTH, ANDMR.AND MRS.BULSARA SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND HUMBLE PEOPLE !💖💖💖💖😭😭😭😭🙏
HE WAS A CUTE LITTLE BABY AWWWWWWWW✊🏾 AT 0:51 TO 1:05 WOW THE SUNSETS 🤗 GOD CREATED A BUEATIFUL WORLD MAN SERENITY❤️❤️
Do you by any chance know the name of the song playing during that duration.
Apparently his family was wealthy according to Mrs Bulsara’s words about having servants working at their home back in Zanzibar. That’s new for me, now I see the roots of Freddie’s classiness and aristocratic character.
Mild middle class income can afford your servants back then. In England they couldn't afford.
Ofcourse they very Rich less than elite but upper middle class but they had to leave it all behind.
Freddie looks a lot like his mother!
Lovely lady
Your're legend Freddie
Happy birthday prince of Persia. ... We will love you forever 💗🎂🔱😙😍💗
He wasn't really Persian, but okay.
@Hissam Ullah - she is right. Indian Parsis are ETHNICALLY Persian, "ethnically" being the operative word. But in reality, after a 1000 years, few Parsis are completely PURE Persian. There has been intermarriage with both Hindus AND Muslims. Research it. In fact, Freddie/Farrokh was probably LESS of pure a "Persian" than I am a Bengali, especially because of the subcaste I come from which up until this century had strict in-caste marriage laws. It's nothing to be concerned about. Freddie's family -- exactly like the movie described -- is Indian Parsi, not "Persian."
@@indranidasgupta8982 Well I dont like to get into this sort of thing, but Ill bite. You kidding me with those purity laws & in marriage laws within your subcaste ? Probably no other ethnicity in the world has stricter purity laws & in marriage laws than parsis. Its come to a point where thier extinction lies ahead. From genetic standpoint Parsis of India are more closer to Pre-Islamic Iranians that is i.e. The Sassanians, than modern ones who have received an admixture from the near east. Modern Iranians have mixed extensively with Turks, Arabs etc. While Parsis have minimal South asian admixture which is also suspected to be present before their arrival in India due to ancient Elamite admixture with the persians. The Elamites being a dravidian civilization in Iran. And again Parsis arent hindus or muslims they are Zoroastrians. Most of them are Indian nationals too, no second doubts about that.
@@mator2339 -- sorry to burst your bubble there but there are very few cultures outside of India who have stricter marriage and purity laws than the Brahmins and their subcastes of India. I'm living proof of that fact, lol. Oh, and I know what I'm talking about lol. I know many Parsis who have married outside, both Muslims and Hindus. India has already had a half-Parsi/half Hindu prime minister! Please pull the other one.
@@indranidasgupta8982 First off I wasnt even talking about Brahmins, they are clearly mixed. I know that.
And Parsis who have married outside arent considered parsis by their own terms of self-identification. So half parsis arent parsis.
Source-- I have met many parsis who have told me explicitly that children from mixed marriages arent considered parsi and they are not allowed to enter their fire temples. But they also told me this is just "their" that is i.e. the parsi traditionalist way of Zoroastrianism, the Iranian Zoroastrians and Parsis outside of India and Pakistan allow children of mixed marriages and conversions too. So the technicality still remains valid. You are only parsi if you are born to both parsi parents who were themselves born to both parsi parents. This is the definition of being a parsi. All others stand null and void. Anyone who wants to follow the Zoroastrian faith can do as they wish but not through the parsi traditionalist manner. They can either have self belief or through the Iranian Zoroastrian manner or the Zoroastrianism that is practiced outside of India and Pakistan.
And I don't know about your clan so I apologise, it might be as strict in intermarriage and conversions as well.
He was originally an indian. He went in his own country for education. As his parents were originally from india. He was just regretting his roots.
Huh? He is Indian Parsi because of his parents not just Indian and he was born in Zanzibar. He loved London. His parents were traditional Parsi. Your comment is ignorant because Freddie didn’t regret his roots, if he had love for London maybe it was because he had very good memories there
@@elliehernandez9069 Freddie never called himself a parsi. Nor did he ever reveal that his parents were from gujarat. He even went to say he's persian. He only called India as a place of his education. I don't know why Freddie lied about his identity. But he was truly hiding his roots from the public. He never revealed his parents in the public and told to change the topic when asked about his family, saying its boring, during his interviews. No one ever knewed where he came from. And the video you see him talking about zanzibar and India was not revealed by the media late until his death. He kept too many secrets and lies to cover up his background.
@@dcfancomics1314 He kept it under cover because of racism he would face and he wanted to be mysterious. I am from Zanzibar and it always amazes me when peopñe say hes Indian, he said he is not and his sister until today says she and her brother are not Indians and it makes sense, the guy's ancestory is Persian and he was born and grew up mostly in East Africa(Zanzibar), except from 8 yrs til 14 yrs(which even at that, he use to go back to Zanzibar every time school closed), so i really do not understand what makes him Indian?
@@islandmussa6291 In modern day the word persian refers to ethnic group of iran and its relative countries. Freddie was a parsi of Persian ancestry. But the roots goes back to 1000 years ago. And parsis are not pure persians. They have mixed with Indian haplogroups when they first arrived as due to which they lost their persian mt dna and then they went for anatomy. His mother never identified as a Persian for sure. What his mother said in the movie is a fact. In the poonawala book her mother identifies her family as Indian parsi. And calls herself gujarati. Even rami malek called Freddie a gujarati. You cannot identify a person by his 1000 year old ancestry. That is why the movie makers never used that to identify him. Parsi is an ethnic group of india. They have Indian history and culture. He only identifies with the parsi community. People of ethnic groups in iran are wrongly equating him with their pride by calling him a Persian which is very wrong. How can a person equate with the people with whom he doesn't have any history. It's like calling myself an African. Cause we originate from Africa centuries ago.
@@dcfancomics1314 listen, Persians did not call him Persian, he Freddie called himself A Persian Poppinjay, when people asked him what he was, he said Persian, his sister calls herself Persian, they get annoyed being called Indian, so who cares what Rami Malek an actor who never meet Freddie has to say(i loved Ramis portrayal of Freddie, he did a good job). After all Freddie looks Persian and not Indian, go to his school days pictures, look at one pic where freddie and 4 other fellow students where standing sideways and close to eachother, those 4 other students are Indian and look Indian, but Freddie distinctly looks white and Persian. As a matter of fact Parsis did not mix with Indians as much as you might like to think, i saw a report 2 or 3 years ago that Indian government was encouraging Parsis to mix with Indians because Parsis were starting to face extinction due to inbreeding(first time i heard humans facing extinction in modern times) and Freddies parents are cousins. I am from Zanzibar and we get blamed because we dont accept Freddie and people think we dont because of his sexuality but not really! It is because he never claimed us or displayed pride in Zanzibar soo why should we go around claiming him and calling him one of us? We have more pride than that and not that desperate to get approval from the West. And as a Zanzibari, i can tell you he has alot of our mannerisms, he is definitely Zanzibari breed. Persians are not claiming him either, it is just they see someone who looks exactly like them and he(Freddie) use to go around saying he is them. This desperacy of claiming him only comes from Indians, which is ironic because he rejected that emphatically and his sister continues to do so until today, you have to have more pride than that as Indian or maybe you are trying to gain credit from the western world? You should not care about that crap and have more pride as an Indian, it is a beautiful culture.
Will never see a showman like him again. God bless you Freddie.
Happy Birthday Freddie. Your music an influence will last forever
Love it 👌👌💯
His Mum is so lovely and there's such a strong family resemblance! Lots I didn't know about Freddie, and I've been a fan since Sheer Heart Attack. I'm really looking forward to this movie. Peace!
In a way Kash mirrors Freddie by how she talks and responds
I thought being born in Zanzibar was the coolest thing ever!!!!
The boarding school environment was soooo peaceful...
It still is. It's a lovely school.
