I agree..he is too arrogant a journalist to give an interview to

[@nishantupadhyay01]

I haven't seen any interview of A.R Rahman where he has ever said any sensible thing. He had the habit of irritating the audience. Either you don't do any interview or appear on stage, but if you have appeared, speak some sensible things so that interviewer don't feel insulted.

[@samuraijosh1595]

@@nishantupadhyay01 I have the same opinion of Rahman's non-musician presence. Dude just doesn't know what to say. He either has bad communication skills or is too shy. None of which affects his image as a musician at least to me. But yeah if you're not good at stuff like that that involves on the spot communication in front of cameras.... it's okay man. No need to stress yourself.

[@MrNo-dc2wp]

AR Rahman was the definition of Introvert. He can make you sleep by his music and also can creep the fcuk outta you with his interviews. Even in tamil he rarely gives interviews

[@musha8622]

He was totally biased with his interview with Modi. He should have asked these instead - 1. Aap 18 ghante kam karte kaise Hain ? 2. Aap ki umr mein toh log retirement le lete Hain. Aap kis mitti keep bane Hain? 3. Aap ko Apne liye Kuch Nahi Chahiye. Sach mein ek fakir hi Hain aap.(self answering question) 😂😁😁😁🤣🤣😂😁😀😁

A.R Rehman didn't waste his time because of the interview rather he was creativing something revolutionary music in his mind , that's he replied to his questions like hmm aummm , hatsoff to Rehman sir

[@soumil8988]

Would absolutely love an another interview of this spellbinding and mesmerizing man, totally aware of his work, who can be very strangely valiant as well! Wanted this video to continue forever.

[@whostolemyfries]

What a fulfilling life to have had. I hope he does many more such amazing interviews. Truly a legend.

[@r.vailehjohn4910]

What a legend he is!!! Proud a journalist with that true quality still exists in this no longer talk about true quality world.

*Karan Thapar you are a Master Interviewer* *Your Eye-to-Eye contact with Interviewee, your facial expressions, no matter whoever is in front of You is commendable and needs to be learnt by today's Interviewer for sure* *You are an Institution of how the Interviews should be conducted*

[@princeray7164]

His calmness and way of talking reminds me so much about my English teacher.... I can hear him for hours just like the lesson taught by my teacher

[@sabyasachikgp]

It takes lot of courage for a Journalist to do his/her job. Hats off to you.

[@winksk3259]

He is a Thapar. The subservient to the Khan-nehru dynasty. No one can touch KKT. Courage my foot.

[@Strings_attache]

This guy has a rich vocabulary. Words come out natural, no need for any processing. Well put. He has a distinct personality

[@bluemoonerheart5316]

If I were to be somebody big in the future, I'd be privileged to have Karan Thapar interview me. He is so versatile, honest and highly professional. Loved his rapport with Benazir Bhutto! Politicians need to learn from her that you can be a critic or leader by profession and a great friend in person, and learn to give space and respect that.

[@wilfredsimon766]

He always had the guts to questions without any kind of fear when he interviewed the big shots

Paid for guts. Protected arse.

Hmm what about burning the train and how did supreme court give him the clean chit and there are many states where riots have happened

[@strazer5728]

diksha pandey Supremacist Court of India has lost all credibility.👎🏻 It is clear the SC is controlled by BJP and it’s stacked Judges. It cleared Modi ModEvil as the consequences of not doing so would have been catastrophic for the scared judges. It is all part of BJP killing democracy and civil institutions in India . Modi still has blood on his hands - no SC or Propaganda Machine will erase it. 🧔

[@axyz002]

Jayalalitha's best of all, she kicked him left and right. Thappar in confusion at the end

[@tailorslow7917]

If ever i had the honour of being interviewed by him iam positive i'll go full AR Rahman mode

[@tsnravish]

Brilliant - it completely changed my way of thinking about him - great guy with a different cut of cloth - None of the journalists are close to 10 percent of his class today- wish someone hires him in his main stream media. Glad he is active here.

[@mohammadsajid3590]

Watched only for ARR 😍♥️😘

Same. He is the legend.

[@09kaustubh]

Real solidity comes from real substance. What a professional life this man must have had.

[@firdausbareen2604]

Hmmm.....and thus I was so surprised when I watched Sami Yusuf interviewing AR Rahman. He was so charmingly talkative in front of Sami ❤️

[@johnyepthomi892]

Everyone needs a Thapar once in a while. Huge respect to him for his work. Keep it up.

[@Sahilkhan98877]

The best thing about this man is that he knows his job , unlike what we are seeing nowadays with the other anchors.

[@dr.s.choudhury8089]

His interview with Jayalalitha was pathetic. Asking someone why they changed her spelling of name or what astrology and all they believe in, is irrelevant. He was supposed to ask about corruption charges not about personal beliefs

[@amshehzad1677]

Wish you could interview Imran Khan. Would be an interesting one to watch !

Sir you are an inspiration for our future generation. Their is a huge difference between what public wants to hear and what's important for them to hear Like a good example is now also many news channels are broadcasting about rallies and elections even at such a crucial time when people are totally dependent on them for the important stuff....... Sir you are a great person. Thank you for being there for us 🥰💐

[@naabun7633]

A wise man once said, the greatest man weren't the strongest of all but they always knew what they were doing and knew their purpose. Mr.Karan, you're one of those journalists I never get bored watching.

[@adnanalam9999]

No doubt KT has calibre, courage, character and charisma.. A thorough professional.

[@sureshpolali4616]

We indians have inferority complex. Hence anyone speaks in English we tell he is intelligent I have been gollowing KARAN TAPAR for last 20 years. He has a habit of making mountain out of mole hill using superlative language. An agenda driven journalist wants a particular type of reply from his guest. He is actually very bad journalist except for his english language. We indians have a habit of equating english language skills to intelligence.

[@susanclassy]

I have grown up watching him as a devil , but always Loved !!!!!!😍😍 You where the one who inspired me to be a Journalist

So sad to see how underrated this human is - to a point that I never even heard of him! Great job, Quint. 👏🏻

[@manishbhaskar973]

I had felt your interview with Jayalalithaa could be the most difficult one from your point.

[@winksk3259]

Modi was his favourite, soft spoken, respectful & straightforward. JJ knew KKT too well to fall into the trap he tried to ensnare her with. Kkt ensnares all those who stand against the Khan-nehru dynasty.

The way Jaylalitha tore him apart was lovely 🤐🤐

Jayalalitha did not tear him apart she was not willing to address the question later showed her dissatisfation on air, not what we expect from a matured politician.

[@GR0216]

@@rajashekarwella She was asked about belief in astrology etc. Totally irrelevant. Let him accept his defeat. Madam was very matured a politician

[@SunilKumar-or2ei]

You are wrong. She was very arrogant in that interview. Not a good thing for politician. I lost all respect for her after that. Then finally supreme court verdict came that she is corrupted , I confirmed my views were 100percent correct about her.

[@shivasankarrajendran9639]

@COMALI COMALEE non sense. This guy asked so many personal questions like changing her spelling of her name, her religious beliefs and her beliefs on auspicious timings and her beliefs on astrology, numerology. That's why he got a very good tight slap in words from her. Who the hell is he to ask personal questions about her????

[@MalluCinematicUniverseMCU]

Haha, still seaching

[@theself5738]

The problem is that Karan doesn't understand people. Especially shy people. He expects people to speak a certain way (like himself) and when they are different, he gets uncomfortable and starts mocking them. The fundamental problem with extroverts is that they don't understand people-they don't understand around 50% of the human population- introverts. There are interviews where ARR opens up quite a bit (like with Simi Grewal or Vivek's interview for Tamil speakers) because the interviewer is genuine.

[@vishaltripathi6247]
