2001 inDialog interview with Shobana

Dancer/Actress Shobana in conversation with dancer/actress Vidhya Subramanian. Edited by Lakshmi Ravi. Produced by Jaya Padmanabhan.

[@misahhere9224]

Interviews back then were really calm and serene , they didn't intend to make any drama like today , it was basically getting to know the person and their experience

[@sivanellori8021]

A lot of interviews today... the host wants to show off their knowledge or hostile and make the guest uncomfortable.

[@rathinmaheswaran]

And then came Vijay TV anchors and destroyed the naturalness

[@score9255]

Very true

[@arunsar7893]

That is exactly what elite capture looks like.

[@reallybasic]

The taste of audience have also changed. The youngsters of today are more interested in entertainment, drama and firebrand stuff and less into actual knowledge or artistic stuff. Attention span of genZ is also declining. TV anchors have also found new ways to satiate this taste of young audience

The entire amateur production crew must comprise of a few Dance school Mom's of some US Metro. At least she asked some good questions, but I found Shobana was searching of translatory answers to the questions. After ASIN & Nayanthara, its been Shobana who's been pretty much at the top in South Indian Movies. She's has been more successful effortlessly blending with the Glitter and Glamour of Telugu Movies. In terms of overall poise and artistry, she was a total standout. When she got busy with Telugu movies; lots of mediocrity crept into the Malayalam Industry in terms of Female Co-Stars. Nevertheless; the movie plots were always Hero-centric, so it hardly matters who's paired with the Mallu superstars. Her reference to Michelle Pfieffer was interesting and I am pretty sure, on similar terms; Shobana is indeed above par with Pfieffer. I missed out watching her dance Encore a few years ago, on her North American Trip. Sheena, Good observation BTW. Kudos
