一 | Sparsh Walia is currently on a high. With his film, 120 Bahadur, not only receiving critical acclaim but also deeply moving audiences across the country, his performance has earned widespread praise. The film, which also stars Farhan Akhtar and Raashii Khanna, has become a big milestone in Sparsh’s career. In an exclusive chat with Filmfare, Sparsh talks about the surreal feeling of his first big-screen success, the immense responsibility of playing a real-life hero, and the most valuable lesson he learned from his co-star, Farhan Akhtar. For an actor whose debut on the big screen has received such an impactful response, the feeling is naturally overwhelming. He mentions, "I'm just overwhelmed," as he shares about the flood of positive reviews and messages. "All the reviews and messages I'm reading about my performance, it's such an overwhelming feeling." The excitement was followed by a major announcement: the film was declared tax-free by the Delhi government few days ago. Sparsh notes, "If the government appreciates your work and does something like this for your film, it's such a big thing for us.” Having dedicated almost one and a half years of his life to the project, Sparsh finds the love pouring in from Kashmir, Madras, and Rajasthan to be a surreal feeling. He hails from a background where being on screen always felt like a far-fetched dream. But having attained the unattainable, he admits, "It will take me another week or two to just let this sink in. But I feel so overwhelmed. And it's such a proud moment for me, for my family, for my parents." Sparsh plays the character of Ramchander, the radio operator and the sole survivor of the battle, whose role is key to the film's plot. The actor felt an immediate and deep connection to the role. He recalls the audition phase stating, "I was so emotionally attached to Ramchander ji, to his story, and how he contributed to this battle. So, I really wanted to play Ramchander ji's character."This attachment translated into a deep sense of responsibility. "I think there was more than the performance pressure. There was this added responsibility," he shares, especially since he was also the narrator for this story from Indian history. The greatest help came from his team and the passion for the story. Crediting his director and co-actors, including Farhan Akhtar, for the smooth process, he says, “The impact of your team matters a lot in your performance.” Sparsh also had the honour of meeting the real Ramchander. Recalling the interaction, he shares a moment that inspired his performance. He refers to the dialogue in the film where Ramchander states that a soldier's blood will be found in the soil from his chest, not his back. Sparsh recalls, "Everybody took a bullet head on. No one thought of turning back at that time... When I heard all that from him, I was so inspired and moved. How did they do it? I mean, I can't even imagine that normal people like us do something like this." Sharing screen space with the seasoned and multi-talented Farhan Akhtar was a dream come true for Sparsh, who has always been a fan. He reveals the most valuable lesson he took away from Farhan, "How to value your co-actors. That's what I picked up from Farhan." He admits he initially had the mindset that a star like Farhan would give his shot and walk off. But his approach was the complete opposite. Sparsh shares, "The way Farhan sir made it so comfortable, he used to be there for even one of my lines. The way he supports his co-actors, the way he makes all his co-actors feel equal was amazing." Sparsh reveals he would hope to apply this learning in his future projects. On a concluding note, Sparsh stressed the importance of the film’s message, especially for the younger generation. He says that he wants everyone to realize how much our army has sacrificed for the freedom we enjoy today. He says, "I would like everyone to know how much sacrifice has been made to enjoy what we are enjoying today.” He urges the youth to appreciate and feel proud every single day about our soldiers and whatever they do for us.Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan Pens Emotional Message As Andre Russell Retires From IPL。　　中新社北京8月21日电 (记者陈杭徐婧)2026世界机器人大会正在北京举行，与会各国人士在相关论坛上共话机器人跨越发展挑战与全球协作路径，吁携手共建人机共生、产需共融的美好未来。　　机器人正向“工厂里干起来”加速进化。英国48家集团主席杰克·佩里(Jack Perry)结合欧洲产业实际，梳理出机器人最具落地潜力的场景：在物流与仓储领域可快速验证、优先落地；在酒店餐饮、服务与零售领域，机器人能显著提升运营效率；农业作为基础产业，机器人的应用将大幅降低农产品成本。　　德国纽伦堡工业大学教授沃尔弗拉姆·布加德(Wolfram Burgard)表示，机器人成为家庭新成员，需融合视觉、听觉、触觉等多模态感知，理解“打开抽屉”“整理厨房”等看似简单却极其复杂的语义；需要触觉与力控，感知真实世界的压力与力度；需具备连续行为能力，将简单动作链接成完整任务，从而与人类在家庭中合作。8月19日，2026世界机器人大会在北京亦庄北人亦创国际会展中心开幕。本届大会以“人机共生，产需共融”为主题，同期举办世界机器人博览会和世界机器人大赛。图为与会嘉宾在会后合影。　中新社记者王紫儒摄　　安全是机器人应用之路上的核心挑战。美国东北大学教授塞思·哈钦森(Seth Hutchinson)表示，实现安全与性能的平衡，并非让机器人静止不动，而是要将安全约束纳入优化控制系统，推动机器人在达成任务目标的同时自动规避人体，在人靠近时减速或停止。　　围绕人机关系，与会人士普遍认为，机器人是辅助人，而非取代人。随着产业升级与生活需求增长，机器人不仅将催生更多产业机会与青年就业岗位，其部署与商业化进程本身也亟须大量专业人才的支撑。8月19日，2026世界机器人大会在北京开幕。本次大会以“人机共生，产需共融”为主题。
