70s to 2000: Stories of Bollywood with Critic & Author Bhawana Somaaya | Salman Khan | SRK | Podcast

[@Swatantra-i1j]

She was the only decent ,non gossiping Film journalist of her time! She was really good unlike most of the other journalist of that era who were big liers! Interview is quite nostalgic! Aapko us period ki magazines or khas taur per Bhavna Somaya ki ' g' magazine ki clipping bhi dikhani thi. She was genuine professional thats why She was well respected & Successful!

[@annaiyengar1980]

Beautiful interviewers and the guest. They let her speak what ever she wanted to say to their questions. Thoroughly enjoyed

[@veev237]

I think something is wrong with people giving negative feedback. It was an entertaining episode and the interviewers are well mannered not to interrupt this versatile lady who is famous in her profession. She has achieved a status which is only dreamed about. She deserves respect and when u call someone for an interview you need to listen and allow them to speak. For a change this interview was very interesting bcas of the tit bits which we didnot know before. Instead of the barking we usually hear this was soft and smoothly spoken. Good luck 🙏

[@silverkinfo3000]

Divya Bharti ke bare main bhi kuch bolna chahiye tha.

[@humaneyes9015]

I was so excited to saw this episode...also I have 2years old my baby boy.. which I was convinced naturally at the age of 45+ ...so I am very happy to related with her birth of my son and me too❤❤❤

[@truebeliever3948]

Inki awaz bohot nice hai

[@tinadutta5628]

Bhawana Somaya was one of the most respected journalists of her times … when journalism meant reporting far from yellow journalism.. but it’s true that she is talking about a different era .. those values don’t exist anymore

[@muditarya]

Completely agree with you.

[@cleokarma7818]

Such a well spoken and elegant lady so delightful to listen to her and her very interesting stories .

[@HindiRush]

Glad you enjoyed it. 😊

[@jyotichandankhede8433]

Both the young interviewers are so calm and well behaved

[@vineetakumar8595]

Not todays generation ,even during that era there were stories about Amitabh's rivalary with Vinod Khanna .Thats was not healthy competition . Ma'am you are a huge fan of BigB

[@Jayz-oq9ub]

Media created the hype.The same media who blamed Big B for media ban instead of Indira Gandhi. 😂 Gandhi family used him as a tool to defend themselves.From media ban to Bofors scam to Riots.

[@machinic]

One of the best interviews so far, this lady is full of elegance, simplicity and gorgeousness

[@padmamohanty8557]

Yes. I truly enjoyed d intv fully. Both sides was xcellant.

[@anuwarrier]

Lovely to see an interview where the interviewers allow the guest to speak. Bravo,

[@DeveshYadav-kp2kp]

Vinod Khanna has already told in many occasions why he left Bollywood. There are his many interviews available in KZbin. Vinod left in 1982 to join Rajnish and came back in 1987 whereas Amitabh left Bollywood in 1984 to join politics and came back in 1988. So, there is no point to create controversy.

[@md-df1dj]

Nope here Mahesh bhatt was planted to brainwash vinod into believing he was not good enough and he should quit. Same way as he brainwashed anu 38:07 Agarwal, parween babi and many more. The way vinod was manipulated he himself said he was quitting whereas in reality he was psychologically manipulated by those who wanted to monopolize and get all the roles

[@Pange1969]

Absolutely Big B is not as Big as he we think

[@sexpower-hindi9928]

Please do an interview of someone who knew Parveen babi very well and also an interview of someone who knew Devyani Chaubal very well.

[@arundhar7314]

I agree with you

[@GLORY9937]

Vinod Khanna and Dharmji were the most handsome and down to earth people of Indian Cinema earlier with Firoz Khan ❤❤❤

[@farzanamariaqutubuddin9611]

An honest journalist … Thoroughly enjoyed the interview .

[@nikitabaljekar7120]

I have fallen in love with this lady 😍❤️🙏🙏🙏🎊She should have been my elder sister , aunt or a very very close friend 😢😢😢

[@meetukumar3622]

Don't compare her to the foul mouth undignified crass jaya bachan

[@ashk9356]

i met shahi kapoor in karachi Pakistan in Hotel elevator when he came for shooting for movie Jinnah in 1998 i think. I was blown away by his charisma and charm, what a man. There were guards with him he felt i getting a bit nervous, he smiled, although obese and age had gotten to him but I totally loved him. Film actors lost their charm after 1980s

[@ujjainiroy-simplylife1371]

So true!

[@kalyanisivakumar2558]

Padmashree Bhawana Somaaya ji stands tall and strong in her experience, wisdom and down to earth straightforwardness all of which come to light in her very humane, lighthearted and extremely intelligent communication and responses in this interview! I am blessed to have worked under her for a very brief while in my short term journalistic career with Movie magazine! 🙏😇❤️

[@DeveshGupta-z8k]

Being a complete movie buff, it’s such a pleasure listening to her always.

[@pritibapat2885]

It felt like she avoided to speak on Vinod Khanna. Seems more tilted towards Mr. Bachchan. And she doesn't know how long VK was away in Sanyas....what was she doing there then if she was a journalist ??

[@tasteofindia1321]

Sensitive? Where was the sensitivity over these actors when a colleague from their own fraternity a young budding actor was mocked so badly on IIFA awards. Why did they not utter a word for Sushant Singh Rajput ? Salman Khan kicked him on stage at IIFA press conference. Did she forget all of that???

[@Hr1sh5t5M5h5r]

yes..before it actors have so much respect from public after seeing their behaviour with SRK ..public understood their true faces ..how arrogant Dhahrukh Salman and Shahid are...that s when down fall of bollywood started

[@TuLips-gx3gl]

SRK gig with Sushant Singh Rajput was scripted & pre-planned. Neil Nitin Mukesh had a tiff with SRK at awards function but later on in interview he said all was pre planned. Same happened with Sushant. In award function everything is pre planned. Put your energy in finding who killed Sushant and not on SRK.

[@taporihero464]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@luckycharm1611]

She is not totally honest. Talent, looks and even privilege does not help. Connections, talent, nepotism, diplomacy and also mafia play a part in stardom. Many stars male as well as female stars owe it to the Mafia connection. Some actors are no good yet they keep getting roles but of course one needs to have talent and charisma else the public will reject them, but some actors never get a chance to show their talent or their role gets cut during editing.

[@luckycharm1611]

​@@TuLips-gx3glI don't think everything is scripted. Nitin Mukesh was very furious and SSR was humiliated in front of everyone

[@bandishbandit5576]

What do you mean by Vinod khanna could have been a very big star..he already was a very big star and after attaining stardom he went to osho..not when he was becoming a star.

[@javedahmed2125]

She is a straightforward and honest person; however, such traits can sometimes come off as rude or self-centered. In this video, she appears very close to Big B and Rekha, and overall, she seems to have a pleasant personality.

[@shillu9891]

Vinod khana was the best very talented she is being biast

[@Mysangeeet]

भावना जी इस इंटरव्यू को सिर्फ़ "मैं मैं मैं* के आसपास रख पाईं, अमिताभ का बचाव और नरमी इसलिए बरती गई क्योंकि वो जया की अच्छी सहेली हैं?

[@vineetakumar8595]

Very correct Ma'am ,todays young journalists or in other fields also ,they have attitude without any reason .

[@pgupta24]

this seemed like a 'real' interview mainly because Bhawana Somaaya was talking in an genuine way - there was no artifice in her answers.

[@nainapant6830]

An interview that ended abruptly...😅 I think she is a big fam of Amitabh Bachchan 😊 Why nothing was asked about Madhuri and Juhi?

[@SurekhaAurangabadkar]

I watch Bhavana Somaiya's interview it is very nice but 50 percent true. I know her very well by the way she she is chatukar journalist Editor. My intension is not to hurt very fees journalist is Courageous, I can tell her on face. I am indrajeet Aurangabadkar. God blessed her.

[@SurekhaAurangabadkar]

I am also Senior free lance Press photographer. Indrajeet Aurangabadkar.

[@Samurai016]

She's pampering nepos like her own children i mean so much buttering to remain in circles..how much kareena or alia or others nepos ate talented n how they got movie after movie n chance after chance in big films she knows very well but still she choose to be on their side.

[@nikahatkagdi8746]

Vo kehte hai na chadhte suraj ko sab salaam karte he😊

[@sunandasengupta8113]

31:41 I didn't get what she's saying about eve teasing. Is she saying it's the girl 's fault?

[@sudhasharma5860]

😂😂😂😂 like Jaya bacchan, jarur best friend hogi dono,jese Amitabh ke baat kar rahe hai,lag raha hai,Jaya ke best friend hogi 😂😂😂

[@rmzooprof]

Excellent program

[@manveenbangran7671]

Amazing interview.....loved the conversation ❤

[@Art_8work]

Wonderful conversation, such rich research and experience 🎉

[@HindiRush]

Thanks for listening!

[@shabeenahaq9142]

She is gujarati but looks South Indian by her dressing

[@ravikantswami2528]

The interviewer should know that emergency in India did not happen in 1972.

[@user-uz5cq4xo5h]

I think Vinod Khanna left Bollywood in 1978 or 1979. But 1985 or 86 he came back. Then his very first released movie was Insaaf with Dimple & second was Satyamev Jayate with Anita Raaj.

[@ajitkumarsingh3445]

1978 mein announcement kiya Press conference karke ki main filmy chhod Raha hoon. Time diya ki films ji woh kar rahe they. Isme 4 saal lag gaya. 1982 mein America chale gaye. Kuchh log iss time period mein apni films nahi complete kar paye toh America mein bhi vk ne dubb kiya

[@rishiraaj.580]

Actor's are Blessed People. Creativity Is Not A Easy Thing. 😕

[@farzanabari5419]

Simple n elegant lady ,, ❤❤❤

[@rajnisharma370]

I love her voice n way of talking very calm n❤

[@AnjanaRoy]

Whoever is putting such negative comments and saying she is lying etc. ... She was honoured with Padma Shri few years back. Show some respect...

[@triloksingh9652]

So? Padma shree won’t get you respect, you earn it & public isn’t fool

[@amitabalgopal9876]

During our times she was the best journalist I use to read all her interviews

[@rushikeshvirdia]

This interview girl intrepted Bhavna..initially how she started to work as journalist..

[@farzanabari5419]

Excellent interview ,,,

[@meghasharma7746]

I liked her interview but found it a bit biased. She is contradicting her own statements in the interview. First she said ye film industry aisi h ki agr talent h toh koi apko ni rok skta star bnne se @ 33.48 and next she said ki star bnne ke liye sirf talent kaafi ni aur cheezein b honi chahie @ 41.26

[@rishiraaj.580]

Stardom thing of past now. Public is evolving mentally. 👍

[@pankajchowdhary6136]

We are Living in an Era of Lost INTERIGRITY & Moving Towards Loosing it Further, be it in Politics, Films, Business, Governance etc. etc.

[@Secrets_of_upanishad_language]

They simply said vinod khanna left the film world, but it required great daring to take such step, as the thing he has chosen is the way for nothingness.

[@Sully693]

They are forgetting Sharmila Tagor and Rakhee Gulzaar, both of them remained famous after giving birth. She seems a Amithabh fan, so obviously she says good things about his wife 😂

[@RaziyaWaseem-f1t]

Thanks for removing the negative comment

[@Vijay-g9m]

Vinod Khanna and shatru ji were tough competitors to Amitabh both actor's were equally in action dialogues delivery equivalent to Amitabh VINOD Khanna left for spiritual treat not as Amitabh competitor

[@purnimapalimar279]

Both the interviewers n tge guest a class by thenselves.Kudos to all three ❤

[@susoommen]

The interviewers were too raw n subservient..did not get the best out of Bhavana

[@Anwar-to5dc]

Vinod Khanna was a legend just as AB.....He was no less in n any way ....rather better in many ways

[@jyotin1690]

Vinod Khanna was a much better actor.

[@yadvindersingh988]

इंटरव्यू लेने वाले बेचारे डरे हुए हुए बैठे हैं😅😅😅😅😅

[@anupamashri1580]

Very genuine n nice talking ❤

[@RaziyaWaseem-f1t]

Very well spoken

[@user-uz5cq4xo5h]

Masoom & Aaj ka MLA were released much before ' Main Azad Hoon'.

[@dreamwork85]

26:34 bahut hi acchi baat kahi ma'am aapne. Aap journalist hote the aur wo actors. Aaj ke most of the journalists are fans aur chamche hi hote hai. Isliye Aaj ke din mein aache journalist ko izzat nahi milti hai. Sabhi ko galiyan milti hai respect nahi. Purane din acche the😊

[@RehanAhmad1]

Jab vinod khanna ne usa jaane ka faisla kia to osho ko ye samjhama chaahiye thaa filmo mein kaam bhi karte raho aur beech-2 mein yahaan bhi aate jaate raha karo.. humse ek mega star chin gaya..

[@shazmamaalik8798]

Beautiful conversation.

[@adfilm_creators]

excellent podcast..keep rocking

[@heizingberg]

Im curious to know why she took the journalist job eventually despite her mother refusing. The interviewer just cut her off from that.

Emergency के दौरान,अमित जी एक बेहद rude और घमंडी व्यक्ति बन कर उभरे थे! जितना अच्छा ये बता रहीं हैं,ये सत्य नहीं है। हम भी यहीं थे,दिल्ली में,सब पता है,क्या,कब,कैसे हुआ था!

[@tasteofindia1321]

Yes true. This lady is trying to whitewash his image. His colleagues have exposed the real bachachan. Particularly, Mahmood, Kader Khan and Rishi Kapoor. They have exposed him on record.

[@Speakerina]

I think you should tell about his rudeness.

[@nikahatkagdi8746]

Vo ghamandi hi he,uske struggle time me mahmood aur kaaderkhan ne bahut madad ki unke downfall me rishta nahi nibhaya. Puraane interview dekh lo.

[@vineetakumar8595]

[@jyotsnabhatia6745]

Very nice, sensible interviewing

[@angiek1074]

The real reason for vinod khanna to leave everything was to enjoy the free life in rajneeshpuram and as soon as the rajneesh.got into trouble, vinod khanna came back and reclaimed his career ignoring the emotional damage he did to his first family

[@ashaevents]

D REAL REASON FOR VK TO JOIN OSHO WAS BCOZ HE LOST HIS LOVING MOTHER & WAS HENCE EMOTIONALLY LOST, TRAPPED WITHIN HIMSELF WANTED A PATH TO LIBERATE OUT FROM HIS SORROW; WHICH HE DID WITH OSHO MEDITATION & AS SANATAN TRADITION GOES THE GURU HIMSELF INFORMS THE FOLLOWER TO LEAVE HIM & STAND ALONE NOW AS HIS JOURNEY WITH GURU HAS NOW BEEN FULFILLED, IN OSHO TROUBLED TIMES VK DID FOUGHT WITH USA GOVT. WITH OTHER FOLLOWERS & RETURNED WITH HIM BACK TO PUNE & THEN JOINED D INDUSTRY BACK AS HE WAS OUT OF HIS SORROW & WAS READY TO FACE D WORLD. AS FAR AS OSHO FREE LIFE IS CONCERNED VK WAS ALREADY LIVING A VERY FREE & GLAMOROUS LIFE, HE HAD ALL D BEST OF D GIRLS IN D WORLD ALWAYS READY TO FALL FOR HIM. VK DIDN'T NEEDED TO JOIN ANY OTHER PERSON OR GRP LIKE OSHO FOR THIS LIFESTYLE, HENCE THESE ALLEGATIONS ON VK STANDS NULL & VOID...

[@kunalmahadeokar-et2rk]

She resembles Jaya bachan with looks

[@vineetakumar8595]

Is ìt not true that Mahesh Bhatt pursuded Vinod Khanna toward Rajneesh

[@jyotin1690]

AB was afraid that Vinod Khanna will be better so he convinced Mahesh Bhat to

[@ritwikachatterjee5792]

What a wonderful lady.

[@ajaygupta_INDIA]

She is giving interview like she is some kind of world renowned investigative journalist , she is just a average journalist of average film industry SO . Also she is comparing with Rekha now you decide .

[@jeanettefranco6942]

Amitabh realized he needed the and he said I quote the press is not the fourth estate rather the first estate because his popularity was going down

[@veena5256]

She is contemporary of Devyani Chaubal, the firebrand gossip columnist of 70s.

[@TheTwara]

A bit junior to devyani chaubal

[@sujaydamalek7911]

[@manishagadgil1549]

Interesting talk.

[@nikitabaljekar7120]

What is the girl contributing exactly ? Apart from hmmmmm….. ha….humhummm….Correct…and trying to laugh at the right time….. agreeing at every point - like : bilkul. Bilkul. Bilkul. Bilkul. 😀😂😂Maybe she is trying to make the best impression on the guest or trying to use the guest to make contacts in the film industry , etc etc 🙏🙏💕

[@docmcstuffins3800]

Why did you cut through the narration about how she took up the journalist job. You shouldn't have?

[@krupadave1975]

25:30 Ma'am On the contrary, idea of lexicon is too childish.

[@kavitaj5483]

How did the family finally agree to her becoming a journalist?

[@rajeevdhingra2969]

Yes they edited the most interesting part

[@DaJamieHolyhein]

Hosts are not competent enough. Waste of opportunity. And guest is biased towards Amitabh Bachchan

She’s in love with him

[@binaychandrajha6083]

Very nice 🎉

[@HindiRush]

Glad you liked it!

[@junmoni6317]

She is not a true journalist… did she spoke an about amitabh Bachan’s rude and arrogant behaviour…. She is also an example of paid journalist of her time… why she is saying Aaj ki generation toh Aise hi hai

[@gk9434]

She is a propagandist through and through.. only does what the ruling families of Bollywood want her to do. They all took advantage of her ego 😅

[@gk9434]

@ he is a good actor, fair, fittish and got a good back story. Doesnt put anyone down .. doesnt involve in any controversy.. picks good scripts, works hard .. likes his job ..

[@Jayz-oq9ub]

He never speaks ill of anyone. You should too learn that quality.

[@ashishroy6807]

The interviewers were very respectful towards the interviewee but the interviewee didn't seem to be so towards them!

[@tashmivyas]

40:51 what even is she saying, Meena Kumari used to be paid in lakhs for her movies and most of the times more than her male co-actors... did not expect such an ignorant statement from such a senior personality.

[@151centrum]

I don’t like Amitab Bachhan - meanest person in Bollywood, so am not interested in hearing about him.
