EP-79 | Mumbai’s Underworld, Interviewing Dawood to Delhi’s politics and much more with Sheela Bhatt

Sheela Bhatt is a veteran journalist with a career spanning over four decades and has covered a host of beats as a field reporter and has also donned the roles of an editor and publisher. Sheela is known for her work as a crime journalist and she has interviewed all mafia dons of Mumbai’s underworld, which include Karim Lala to Vardarajan Mudaliar and Chhota Shakeel to Dawood Ibrahim. She is one of the few journalists who has interviewed Dawood in-person at his Dubai home and is known to have had access to the mafia don for years. Recently, a picture posted by Sheela on her Twitter account went viral on social media in which she can be seen sitting with Dawood interviewing him. Apart from field journalism, Sheela has covered all general elections since 1979 and continues to write on politics, international affairs, among others. In this edition of ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, Sheela talks about her entry into journalism, her personal life and marriage to Kanti Bhatt and the transition from being a revenue reporter to running a magazine of her own. She also talks about the Godhra riots and how religion is being used for defining politics.

[@HBisTheOne]

Great interview. Great insight. Outstanding stories. Kudos to Smita Prakash for presenting this gem. I remember reading columns of husband wife duo Mr & Mrs Bhatt on Chitralekha in 80s. One thing that bothered me a lot in this interview is that Mrs Bhatt kept moving from one topic to another losing original point in focus. Understandably, she had a lot to share with details from her years of experience in journalism. I can tell that Smita tried so hard to get her guest back on the track failed miserably every time she tried. This interview nevertheless is epic due to unheard stories presented from my time. Those born in 60s and 70s can relate with every word she said. It’s truly nostalgic!

Sheela ben’s husband Kantibhai was a noted Journalist. he was once disturbed and wanted to cut short his life. While contemplating to commit suicide sitting in Mumbai Local by jumping off the train, he heard two guys sitting behind him chatting about him. “Have you heard Kanti Bhatt’s Analysis of India-Pakistan war on Radio ? What an amazing analysis !” Unaware of the fact their subject was sitting hlbehind them. However, Hearing this had a miraculous effect on Kantibhai and he called off his plan and got the zeal to live life again and became renowned columnist & Journalist.

Who came here after watching her on ranveer allahbadia podcast 👍

[@darshp16]

Listening to people like Sheela Bhatt makes us realize what is true passion. She is deeply passionate about her country, her profession, her identity. She is so rightly said that anything and everything is amplified by social media. To get a true understanding of what’s actually happening in the country or community requires pure ground work. Excellent 👏👏👏

[@prachisood9565]

Such a wonderful interview!! A conversation with real journalist. Thanks for this interview and would love to listen to another podcast with Sheela ji. She is powerhouse of real journalism and a proud nationalist.

[@kunalgarg1212]

One thing she talked about understanding the pulse of the Indian Common Man/Woman is very important. I as a student am very inspired by her values and her pure heart which is a very rare quality. Thank you Sheela Mam for all your contributions.

[@swarnaushachandra5568]

One of the best interview of a True Journalist. She should be made in leader position in some Media and communication forum. These journalists should get recognized by the Nation !!!!!!!! She is an inspiration she should ve called for conferences for universities in Institutions where journalists are studying

I would never know Journalism until I listened this. What a legend. She needs to be in the lime light. Her Journey should be documented in details just like how she is DETAILED, CONSCIOUS, FEARLESS AND GROUNDED. 🤍
