EP-143 | From Rags to Riches: The Inspiring Journey of TV News Pioneer Rajat Sharma

[@rammaheshmishra1117]

पूरा सुना। दो तीन चरण में सुना। ध्यान से सुना। आप दोनों के प्रति आदर बढ़ा। बधाई। साधुवाद। भाई श्री रजत शर्मा से भारत माता मन्दिर हरिद्वार में भेंट हुई थी। आदरणीय श्री नरेन्द्र भाई मोदी जी भी उस कार्यक्रम में पहुंचे थे। आज आपके पूर्ण स्वरूप से परिचित हुआ। आपके माध्यम से, आपकी अदालत में पधारे, अनेक खास विभूतियों की खासियत भी जानी। पुनः साधुवाद। आदरेय रजत भाई के पूज्य पिताजी और माताश्री को हार्दिक नमन करता हूं।

I was always skipping this episode, but suddenly happened to watch this today. I can confidently say that this is one of the best episodes in this podcast. I haven't seen all, so I am mentioning that this is one of the best. But for me this is the best I have watched so far. I might have watched at least 40+ episodes. But, this is the best among all. I had little annoyed with Rajat Ji, but today I came to know that he is definitely a person to admire and an inspiration for all. Good job Smita ma'am.

[@aprilblossoms4]

I never realized Rajat Sharma is such an excellent story teller and not to mention the difficult and humorous situations he has faced! I used to watch “Aap ki Adalat” right from the beginning when I was in primary school. This was a brilliant episode. Thanks Smita and team.

As we navigate the intricate corridors of our nation’s past, Mr shrama’s insightful questions and revelations promise to leave an indelible imprint on the historical discourse.

रजत जी तब मैं भी University College Kurukshetra में पढ़ता था और तब जे पी आंदोलन के दौर में, जे पी जी कुरुक्षेत्र से ट्रेन से निकल रहे थे और हम हमारे University President की अगुवाई में उनको मिलने Station पहुंचे थे। फिर जेटली जी जब एक बड़े student leader establish हो गए थे और 1978 के आसपास Law College Kurukshetra में ABVP candidate के लिए भाषण देने पहुंचे थे और मैंने वो भाषण सुना था। सचमुच उनका भाषण बहुत जोशीला था।

I have had immense respect for Rajat Sharma but today it has leapt 100 folds higher. He didn't share what happened to his family in Subzi Mandi after he moved to Defence Colony. I salute him for being ethical, very rare journalist. I have known many journalists closely because of my work but very rare are of his kind. Its a very long interview but enjoyed A to Z in one sitting, rare for me. Thanks. Please convey my compliments to Pandit ji

What a man, What a magnificent journey. From not having food on the table in earlier days to running India's one of the leading news channels. His views on Media freedom were quite fascinating to me, i have only heard about the dictatorship-kind behavior of the current government, but he opened up a whole new kind of idea, and my take towards all these allegations has changed. He has been in the industry for a very long period and his views are very appropriate I feel. His experience is teaching a lot of things to all youngsters like me, I am also an aspiring journalist, learned a lot from him. Thank you @ANI News for this podcast, and special thanks to Smita Ma'am for asking quality questions. And lastly @Rajat Sharma Sir you are an inspiration to me, thank you for unfolding deep insights about the world of journalism, Best wishes to you sir.

This piece not only serves as an eye-opener regarding the turbulent times during the emergency but also underscores a powerful message - when you stand firm in your beliefs and aim with clarity, the sky's the limit. A true testament to resilience and the indomitable spirit of pursuing one's goals, regardless of the challenges that come your way.

Watching from. U.S . We have been Watching Rajat ji for a long time in India.Aap Ki Adalat.Lot of respect for him.

[@GRMD_Khera]

I have never sat through a bollywood movie for three hours and I sat through this 3 plus hour conversation. I live in the US and I have probably watched a total of 30 minutes of AKA show but never took it seriously. Now I am a fan of Rajat Sharma and look forward to watching his archives of AKA. Wonderful interview by you Smita Prakash and I absolutely loved the chemistry between the two of you. Thanks

😢I can completely relate to Rajat Sharma's poverty but I am 20 years younger growing up in similar circumstances in Bangalore. I could relate myself to VS Naipaul's "An area of Darkness". Such was the destitution that British landed us in, after a long spell of loot by British with impunity, which was unfortunately perpetrated by Nehruvian Socialism. I could see Rajatji resisting tears in the beginning, I have my eyes wet now.

I agree❤❤🎉🎉

[@Achintyanath]

Arun Jaitley was a very rich man and so is Vijay Goel. Tata and Birla group were created during British rule. By your logic all these people became rich because of the British? From where do you get these ideas?

[@anilshetty315]

​@@Achintyanathfrom where you get all these perceptions, he said British and Nehruian looted our nation. Isme itne mirchi kyu lag gaya. Do you know who existed before - British or Tata/ biral in this country?

Thanks Smita Ji for interviewing Rajat Ji. I didn’t know this side of his personality. Such a struggle in his life. All my respect ✊

[@nitinsinghal4101]

How many people on count will have a life like Rajat Sharma- life of full colors----it looks likes a filem from from 1970 to till date --he knows generations of families / politicians, indeed a blessed man

[@1377sv]

So true

[@MrAshwijshenoy]

Aaj tak ka best episode hai Smita ji. Yeh admi ko hum itna chahte hai, hum inko itna samman karte hai. The way he has opened up in this program and handled this podcast, is amazing

[@priyanshugiri19]

Great News Rajat Sharma ji And smita Jaya Bharat Jaya Bharati's Best wishes

[@gopalacharya662]

OMG, What an interview of an accomplished journalist, scholar, leader and human being. Rajat Sharma is such an icon and inspirational and patriotic Indian for people all around the world. Thanks for this discussion which provided a unique insight into his personal and professional lives which are intertwined with momentous events in India's democratic history. Really indebted to you, Smita Ji and Rajat Ji for this interview 🙏🙏

[@vinaybharadhwaj3404]

Mr Rajath ji statements felt like reading a book. The way he speaks is so soothing to listen to. A request to Rajath ji, please start a podcast of yours as well 🙏

[@navpai77]

Smitaji, I have been following your podcast from Australia, it is kind my window to what’s happening in my country.. I do try and make my only daughter watch it with me as much as I can.. this show has re ignited the belief that our upbringing in the 70’s with these values of respect, honesty , professionalism and friendship. Really thankful for this long interview

[@sathyanarayana8183]

Really true and nice interview with Mr. Rajath Sharma. I am senior citizen of 68 years old and I am a regular viewer of the program Aap Ki Adalath. But I never knew he too had struggled a lot in his personal life like me. Because I lost my father at the age of eight years old and my mother brought up all of us i.e four children me being the eldest. I had to leave Bangalore for the sake of getting an apprenticeship training in the Kirloskar group of companies in Harihar in year 1974. From then on I struggled a lot to come up in life. I returned to Bangalore and joined a German engineering firm which encouraged me to learn German language. Then on I didn't look back in my career even today still my profession is in demand. In fact last year I worked for one of the prestigious project of Saudi Aramco with the best remuneration package. I am not a qualified engineer from any university. But still I am in the job market till date. But after hearing the above interview I was just taken back compared to Rajath Sharma. Thank you very much for the interview program and convey all my wishes to him when you feel free. My name is Subba Rao Sathyanarayana from Bangalore.

Wonderful podcast, I put it on while I was going to sleep, but couldn't sleep for a second, so engaging. Loved every part of it.

[@kiranalwaysanindian9347]

By far one of the best episodes of 2024. Rajat Sharma ji is a Platinum mine. His experiences / learnings and his ethics are at a different level and definitely is a benchmark for all journalists . His experiences should be taught to aspiring journalists in mass communication courses. Lastly to the journalist cronies of Congress / CPM / TMC / SP etc., pull up your socks atleast now and start reporting facts of the national welfare schemes / laws instead of spreading rumors.

[@AnilSharma-ry7hc]

Thanks to Smita Prakash Ma'am for having Sharma ji on Podcast. Wonderful, knowledgeable and inspiring 🎉

[@panexpresstravel3515]

Congratulations Smita Ji for doing such a wonderful pod cast with Rajat Ji. You asked the right questions and kept the flow of the conversation on the right path. I learnt a lot about the solid character and the unshakable integrity of a man that I have been admiring, watching Aap Ki Adalat, over the last few years and it has increased 100 fold. I live in Canada and never can find time to watch a movie or a program for more than three hours at a stretch. However once started, I could not stop until I finished it at 1 AM. Rajat ji gave us insight into so many famous personalities and important events that occurred over the years, about which I had a totally different view based available information here. Thank you for doing this interview. Next time I come to India, will try to meet you and Rajat ji and shake your hands. Respectfully...Mohan

[@garfieldzzzzzzzzzz]

What a fantastic interview. I'm hooked. @Smitaji, you are not just interviewing, you are recording history for future generations and telling stories that need to be told

[@PrashantSingh-gk2wu]

Good to know about Rajat ji as a person and his life. One common characteristic with both rajat ji and Smita ji is that they maneuver questions in smart way without making it awkward for the person being interviewed.

[@vijaydixit400]

It is very nice and transparent interview with Rajat Sharma. Rajat Sharma is smart and fair heart person

[@ShrikantMarathe]

Excellent interview Rajatji is an excellent example of what a news media person should be. No wonder so many people like him and his interviews

[@sohailaziz9873]

Mr. Rajat Sharma is a human being of required qualities, of a high standard.

[@MS-Hussain]

Many hv high qualities, but he is godi, clearly godi media

[@shaileshmaurya3173]

​@@MS-Hussain sach bolna godi media hota hai to ha ye godi media hai.. Allah tumhe sadh budhi de..

[@bramdas]

As a moderate level Hindi speaker, really enjoyed how Rajat speaks Hindi in clear terms and avoids complex language. Phenomenal journalist in any case.

[@sujatadas5148]

Modiji has indeed taken the bar to another level- his comments towards the end about Modiji are so so so true .. biggest problem of our certain sections (who are also corrupt and devious) is to create news fear with promoting lies in public and creating fear about erosion of institutions under 3rd term of BJP etc etc However our public is not stupid they can now SEE and feel for themselves the real positive changes under Modiji which never ever happened under the previous governments to this extent and it s clearly evidenced by the data and numbers achieved under Modiji in last 10 years .. salute you Smota and Rajatji for this amazing session … watching this from Australia

[@bharatiwagle6648]

Enjoyed this episode. Must have been nostalgic for Smitaji also as they both belong to the same era. I too recollected a lot of things ever since the evolution of Indian television. Many of you senior journalists have stayed put due to the type of journalism they followed all these years. Thanks

[@maheshsewa5693]

I listened to the whole 3 plus hrs honestly spoken inspiring life journey of Sharmaji. Both of you were awesome. Sharmaji is an evergreen person like his show AKiA Thanks Smita Ma’am for bringing it to us.
