Rendezvous with Simi Garewal - Shoaib Akhtar (2005)

in 2005 - at the sight of the fastest bowler on the planet, flying up the crease, hurling those thunderbolt deliveries - well I don't know about the batsmen - but a lot of females - swooned!
I caught the ‘Rawalpindi Express’ to check out this phenomenon called Shoaib Akhtar! And to my surprise - learned a lot about him..

[@DrTahaShabbir]

Why people here is talking about his accent and speech..... He is a cricketer not a literature professor.... Just listen what he share amazing story....

[@AmanSingh-pg3fz]

But it's look very fake accent he copy imran khan wasim akram many more even he copy stories of other players like brett lee once told his story that during bowling lee use to think that a knife hiting his feet when he land's and shoiab akhtar told this same story in Pakistan he copied whole thing from brett lee i know many more things about him i meet him nd yeh boht bada jhootha hai

[@allairetraub]

Because he's Pakistani and your next door neighbours hate you, they love mock you ppl. They refuse to look at his humble background , they just enjoy taking the piss out of you guys, simple . It's prejudice and hatred.

[@jayntsngh]

it sound weird when he is not himself when speaking.

[@kshitijgupta1365]

Yeah he should probably stop faking an accent when he can’t speak a sentence in straight English lol.. idiot

[@dhananjayjajoo6753]

You don't have to be fake for a show...

[@ABHISHEKSHARMA-on3ql]

Man this guy was a rockstar during his playing days,i was a kid when there was 2003 world cup,and I used to make my hair like him and wear a silver chain and used to bowl as fast as possible,seriously man there is only one Shoaibh Akhthar

[@naviblogger]

same things I did in my teen age life. I do not know how many kids had tried his style.

[@deepumicrobe]

i simply love this guy for his candid nature and clear mind

[@goodygoody1911]

He is so handsome, his smile, wow. His confidence is amazing. He was a nightmare back then for sure.

[@braydauman1254]

😂

[@misbahraj8015]

back then batsmen brave enough to face him.....everyone fears him

[@aishwarya_1524]

I love his confidence .. I respect him so much ! When he used to come to bowl ..we used to pray for Sachin to be able to handle him. We supported India always but always had an inherent respect for this player .My dad used to say .."Shoaib agaya" and then he won't sit on his seat until his bowling was over.

[@GujjarSb479]

👍

[@tzubin6629]

his attitude is so much like salman khan

[@samiuddinomer2538]

T zubin shoaib akhtar and shahid afridi are like salman khan and shahrukh khan of pakistan.

[@hamzamunawar1689]

Scrutinize and take an observing look of their (Salman/Shoaib) looks ... They look like fraternal twins... Similar voice, Same Lethal "Fuck You but I don't give a Fuck" Attitude, same strout physiques and 💀 deadly Eyes It's like Vice Versa ~ Salman is Bollywood's SHOAIB AKHTAR and Vice Versa

I just love Simi Garewal and all her rendezvous. She is the best host I have seen so far. India is yet to produce a host like her who makes her guest really comfortable and emotionally she easily gets connected with them. Not even her single episode ever made me feel that she took advantage of her guest's. She is just so cool.

[@darshnikdeep4650]

Thats Fatima...thats the true essence of India which is ironically lost in the limelight of conmercialization.

[@hiteshderkar1486]

Always a delight to watch Shoaib Akhter😍

[@faisalbashirnehvi]

Absolutely a Rockstar in every sense. His confidence, fearless nature and belief in himself is infectious. He was a bit of a maverick, but you need to be a little mad to be successful. There won't ever be another Shoiab Akhtar. A true legend.

[@istriver.]

Love Simi's Accent, speaking style, and tone. Such a beauty.

[@tanushreechowdhury3065]

I love his attitude .. such a great player

[@hamza3065]

Absolute legend of a bowler and persona too, flying hair, long strides, heavy chains around the neck, I just loved watch him play

[@94fragrances]

I LOVE HIS ACCENT AND I LOVE HOW CANDID HE IS -- and you just can't ignore his big bright smile. I am not a cricket person but seeing him and other charismatic players (Wasim Akram, etc.) always excites me as they've developed very interesting personalities over the decades, and their display of sportsmanship is just phenomenal!

[@majajanlahoreton]

His accent isnt fake. He learned to speak English from Australians and English men. So its only natural for one to pick up the accent you learn the language in

[@warriorclan543]

Fake accent 😂 no matter how much you defend but people know he's fake person but great bowler no doubt he lies alot

[@94fragrances]

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT!

[@zawarshahid3837]

@@warriorclan543 there is nothing such as fake accent. It's obvious accent differs. English is not our language no one gives a shit about English

It seems he learnt English by listening to commentary 😂

It's still classless because his grammar is bad ...lol

Simi ji How do you nail it everytime ? You are so elegant and poised......Each episode is a class. I am amazed at the at the Rendezvous spectrum and your ability to connect with every guest , treat them with dignity , be charming , at times gregarious....all in one... While the rendezvous with Sir Ratan Tata was about humility and great message of humanity on the other hand it was Dev sahab and philosophy of leading one's life ...Gayatri devis episode was about royalty redefined while so much pleasure to know about the greatest all rounder Kapil Dev sahaab.... Bhatt sahabs episode was in the face while Govinda was as he is Entertainment redefined.....thank you for this wonderful !! Want to meet you and Amrita ji a warm hugggg !! Love Girish

he has this kind of accent because he played county cricket alot and lived with an english couple there which explains his accent.

[@noorkazi5530]

I have not listened to this interview but Simiji is a honorable Indian and I love her and Shoaib Akhtar is just an ordinary person. He may be a good cricketer but not classy at all. I am a Pakistani American but I have no qualms in condemning any bad person on this planet even if I have to condemn any bad muslim or any Pakistani. We all have to be honest to our souls and not favor anyone based on country, religion and gender and sometimes if we have nothing good to offer let zip our mouths.

[@shujahmohammed9173]

Don't u appreciate the amount of effort that he has put in, while playing. He is the fastest bowler on Earth. By the way i am an Indian.

how many wickets he has taken only 144 in 46 test matches.yes he was the fastest,i liked his bowling ,no doubt,if he was an indian cricketer,he would have lasted for long time,and would have been a 800 plus wicket taker.his speed was awesome.he seems real.but shown/made as a bad boy in pakistan cricket.bad luck for him.he should have played more than 100 plus test for paksitan.-meeta mahajan raikar-usa
