The Icons: Shabana Azmi with Twinkle Khanna | Tweak India

[@heenab4898]

Wow what a beautiful take away.. "when you are working to bring a change, you need to work with the possibility that change may never happen in your lifetime, but you must have the confidence to carry on working, with sincerity and dedication even long after you are gone" - thank you so much for this wisdom Shabana ji. Lovely listening to you.

"when you are working to bring a change, you need to work with the possibility that change may never happen in your lifetime, but you must have the confidence to carry on working, with sincerity and dedication even long after you are gone" Wow! I got goosebumps when I heard that!

[@sheetaljagtap73]

I watched the interview because of this comment ❤️

[@Anamcara123]

This lady always fuel energy in me with her courage n confidence. Remarkable shabana maam.

[@alwyndsouza2351]

Growing up in Mumbai in the seventies and eighties I thought Shabana Azmi was a class above the rest in the sphere of acting. Thank you Twinkle for this wonderful interview. Keep up the good work!👌

[@luna-rd2nc]

How was 80s in Mumbai? Matlab culture, art, music, cinema, and most importantly tv? How was the life?

[@user-fk1sh8vb8c]

Twinkle you are doing just wonderful because whenever there are interviews, men keep talking and even women of substance have to say a few lines and keep supporting their partners. Only women talk to women, such great insight comes out. Great work.

[@JimmyHrangate]

One of the greatest Indian actress & the most unique Shabana Azmi. I grew up watching some of her movies which were so different from the rest then. Her looks were different, but she's remarkable in her own right. She's a respectable human. Huge fan from Manipur.

[@ishatawade]

I could listen Shabanaji all day, so inspiring ❤️

[@eclectic2052]

I have met her a few times, she is very rude, condescending and full of herself !!!

[@ekbharatvasi3514]

@@eclectic2052 Hmm, I understand what you say, I have too met people in my life who are just like her (achiever, socialist, poetic etc all good things). But many many times such people are full of themselves and lack empathy or any connection with the actual world and people over there and live in there own perceived world and don't want to connect to anyone who does not fit in their set standards of thinking.

[@chaank1069]

I had the pleasure of meeting Shabana Azmi ji and hosted het at a gala. She is down to earth and a wonderful person with a heart that is open to listening to other's stories/pains in life.

[@aylaumair]

I love the way she speaks, she always reminds me of my grandmother. People of that era were truly learned. I love shabana azmi a lot.

[@preethisheshadri8916]

[@Ayesha_11122]

Twinkle is a stellar interviewer. It's so conversational....and cozy vibes.

[@prachishakya]

Shabana Azmi is a legend!! Huge respect!!❤️

[@dhritikapoor2897]

This is such a settled, calm yet powerful conversation. Almost looked like a evening tea conversation between two ladies

[@venusette]

How many women do we know, who sit down with a cuppa-tea and have such enlightening exchanges ?!!! Lolz…

[@dhritikapoor2897]

@@venusette I know quite a few . You have any issues with that ?

[@venusette]

Woah ! Retract claws 😂 Chill sistah!

[@jayrana4286]

I cannot believe how much I love all these interviews never interested in bollywood but these interviews seem authentic.... like no one is trying to impress anyone ....

[@AngelWings1983]

Yes Twinkles posture is distracting and not observed before by anyone interviewing. Shabana looks very hippi-ish in that dress and is obviously very well read and confident in herself and life. It’s nice to see in an Indian woman of latter times. I wish more woman carried this much self confidence and her upbringing helped develop her personality.

[@aakankshasingh2727]

Her posture looks disrespectful and over confident and self centered

[@asv8865]

Yes absolutely right!!!her posture is of being vain n in arrogance... whereas it is Shabana who has done n achieved so much in her life

[@Auro77]

That's true. Your upbringing plays very important role in what you become as an adult

[@RUCHIASHISH]

Lp

[@anujan5498]

(Unintended definitely) But yes it's looking disrespectful

[@georgemarathonthara4975]

My Dear Shabana Ji, Nice to see you. When I see you, I feel nostalgic about my olden days spent in Bombay watching your super duper hit movies. Best of luck and have a great day. Thank you so much and God bless you 👍🙏

[@swapnilkamble2429]

Now that's a real interview. Thanks Twinkle for doing this and Shabana Ma'am you are a real human being and an actor with so much in you that I can sit for ages hearing you sharing all the roles that you play as a real human being with such passion and something that is not artificial. Now here is an actor who deserves a huge respect and admiration unlike some actors who talk more and do nothing. Love u...🙏

[@shivanijoshi11]

The energy and peace in this conversation ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@englishwithmuzammal3596]

Whenever I listen to such videos to know how they are what they are, I always find one thing common in those deities, and this is, without any doubt, is an array of persistence, risk-taking, and resilience. They know what to do and how to do it; even if they don't know they believe in their guts and just go and don't care what the result could be. I hope this remains intact and passed on to the next generations. Hmmm

[@ritarodrigues9946]

I love shabana…. She is my role model. I pray she continues to inspire and bring women shoulder to shoulder with men. Twinkle, I just found your I/v and love them, you are so well spoken. Blessings from Houston, TX

[@priyanvadagambhir1698]

Burst of oxygen..my bahadur beti...these words brought tears in my eyes Shabanaji..my best artist..I love you.. For change it takes time, may be after one's death, your father's thoughts ..amazing person.. Wonderful interview, Twinkle..blessings and love

[@manjubhargavansoudabai2969]

Me too Got some oxygen to my lungs too

[@shradharajbhandari9776]

Twinkle must be like a family…that’s just a relax posture. This is really beautiful interview. Soooo graceful SavanaA jee❤️❤️

[@skorpionepericoloso3161]

Yeah ok but this is not a family get together with her buwa.. it's her desperate try to be professional and talented at least at something ...and even if it's your father's office when you are at work you act professional..plus who said kay family kay baray logon kay samnay tang pay tang rakh kay designer chappal camera main dikhana is a norm?sorry don't want to offend you but that's not the posture to be displayed Infront of people who are your elders in every sense..talent.. achievements,persona, intelligence, art,life, experience, background, intellect ..so on and so forth..

[@veerax1]

Again one more feather in the cap for the production unit. Ms Azmi has been an icon who is to be treasured. She is a product of such illustrious lineage and she has proven that over the years by her amazing acting plus her social causes. Twinkleji- you have again hit the jackpot by asking the right questions and also getting the perfect answers out of Ms Azmi. Congratulations again and keep it rocking - BTW - the books where the interview was done is really tempting 😎. Love to spend time in such a room🙏. Good luck

[@rituayadav]

Beautiful Interview!! Nice to hear Shabana Maam! Loads of respect to both the ladies. Very inspirational ❤️

[@shaktishivanand624]

Twinkle Khanna has so well structured lines. You are honey to our ears. Inspiring.

[@rm3015]

How is Twinkle inspiring anyone? Married and still living with an uneducated cheat, no career of her own to speak of. Curious to know how she's a role model for any female.

[@shaktishivanand624]

Get well soon 💐

[@riturai2978]

Absolutely loved the interaction.. the conversation and the insights ❤️❤️😊

[@arjungurung1823]

such a delight watching this interview with Shabana JI! Thank you Twinkle ji,also could you please have an interview with Zeenat Aman, she is my all time favorite.

woww😍🙏.. shabana ji was truly inspiring.. and hats off to twinkle khanna as well.. for interviewing such people and letting us know what dey r.. even more closely😊

[@manasimohanty4411]

Fabulous...this talk motivated me alot to understand the life, philosophy and culture.loved it.

[@jyotichehak4794]

One of the best interview I have seen, shabana mam u rocked the show. Thank u Twinkle

[@mohsinazahera7360]

She is from my city Azamgarh... I have met her at her home when I was a child .... She has much more persona in her personality than it appears on screen and interviews. ...

[@patriciarojas100]

De verdad la conociste? Que privilegio

[@meenakshikhosla.9370]

What insightful view points. They had stopped doing such interviews. It's such a fresh breath of energy and conversation.

[@savitajoshi2755]

Last comment by Shabanaji about Twinkleji is so cute ❤️

[@hobby1685]

She is so well spoken..loved this episode. Can we have Aparna Sen, Simi Garewal and ofcourse your mom ever gorgeous Dimple Kapadia please

[@beenishateeque5895]

Aww...beautiful interview and the oh my Gosh!!! How graceful Shabana Azmi is man! Loved the poetry she narrated in the last. And cute comments delivered to Twinkle.

[@whatislife940]

I could watch this interview repeatedly. It's so insightful and really gives one a look into the minds of a brilliant intellectual and model for inspiration.

[@beyondgrades8086]

Such a natural and intelligent, insightful interview

[@lillyrose4709]

I wish more Bollywood actresses would do more of humanitarian works like Shabana mam than trying to show their culinary specials or yoga etc

[@shinchannohara4574]

Toh baba ramdev kya dikhayenge🤬🤬🤬😡😡

[@seemamadaan30]

Amazing session. Really enjoyed listening to Shabanaji 👌

[@anjuchauhan9527]

Wow!! This is my favourite bookstore - Granth in Juhu. I love their kids section.

[@rishashastry8938]

Twinkle's posture is lil bit irritating. I still find it weird or disrespectful pointing foot at others when seated close. Maybe it's just me. I don't do it to others or like anyone doing that near me. Shabana ji did look at Twinkle's feet & then put hers up too. Shabana ji is looking very beautiful even now. And that sweet voice &classy diction 🤗

[@wethewomen594]

Absolutely correct if you are interviewing a personality like this you should behave where is twinkles etiquettes now

[@garimatri07]

I found her posture distracting too.

[@beyourown9787]

She is speaking to a legent and her sitting posture is deadly bad

[@veenanarayanan5378]

I found it odd too.. Looks Disrespectful

[@IAmRoshniKhanna]

Posture is so disrespectful. Not only that she forgetting the awards she has won three times in a row shows her very casual attitude. The whole interview missed the involvement from twinkle's side. Shabana ji is not her aunt here she is a celebrity being interviewed. I wish she learns through the interviews.

[@sachinkumarjain676]

Both the ladies are wonderful, revealing their intelligence, wisdom and insight of wonanhood.

[@SONIKATYAGI595]

The right way to introduce someone to the society is "Interview". Someone's life journey can inspire and encourage others....

[@gassyalways]

Very well said 👏

[@liferuhani6824]

Shabana - The audiences often mistake the actor for the character. And this is a huge opportunity, and if you can use it constructively then you're doing more than just giving a good performance .... Wow

[@ash78476]

Thank you tina...loved this interview..... done wd vidyas.....jackie ji..... kareena.... will keep on watching more girl 😘❤

[@asitaramdenee1315]

Amazingly awesome session. Hat!s off to both ladies

[@afreenk4825]

That basic mehendi design looks beautiful on her hands & has worn realistic clothes that suits her well & amazing questions were asked & beautiful answers were given ❤️ & this is better than Koffee with Karan Show but more path-breaking celebrities like Ratna & Supriya Pathak, Naseeruddin Shah, Nagesh Kukoonoor,Farida Jalal, Manoj Bajpayee,Sonu Sood etc should be invited

[@AshutoshClass23]

Ma'am, I just love listening to your talks with people.. It makes me feel good.

[@rubytampal4278]

Oh my goodness! I enjoyed the last line at closing, from Shab to Twink in action: Shab : Itna Chota Sa Bachcha , pat-pat mere se Aaj Baat Karta Hai Twink : Mein Kya Karu (Sure Shabana must have all those past good memories erupt seeing Rajesh's baby child grow immaculately into a striking gorgeous woman).

[@manjarisaran5564]

Up until I was in India, I thought Indians are good for nothing.. because everything felt corrupt and dishonest. I now see things with more clarity. I see we have skills and these are true skills. we don't have means, and we are pulled down like crabs because of lack of resources by our own community. Learning these facts about life has helped me appreciate these legends more. And, I feel like I am a newborn in the world, and such interactions with people who have lived whole life, have so much to help me learn and grow better. I can filter now, and I can take better decisions as well, so I look forward to deeper interviews. Not just ideal questions with surface scratching answers.

[@nafisaamin742]

Shabana’s talk brought my childhood memories alive

[@ash78476]

She's still gorgeous MashaAllah n sweet n humble n always like n reply the insta comments.... shabana ji is always love to watch n hear .... I was always use to be in awe of her n samita patel ji since my childhood as I'm a 80s born n literally grew up watching her n others Bohot sara pyar shabanaji ji liay❣❤😘

[@navinparmar7490]

Great interview. So much respect for Shabanaji. Also important point lot of negative thinkers get into words and minch it to own agenda. You have to see the good intend and she had done in life. Kudos to her.

[@vandanavk8372]

"She tried",,,, 🤩 wow👏👏👏 , wonderfully said

[@jakiraaj8789]

Woww those last lines.. I am going to keep that for rest of my life forever.. mashallah ❤ ❤

Loved the interview very much, please bring Aparna Sen on your show .

[@prakpriyankap8]

Beautiful!!! Thank you for doing this interview!

[@neemagupta4196]

The conversation is so insightful. "She played her game" Wow!!

[@Worrier629]

I've enjoyed watching all 3 interviews. But it's been mostly because I've wanted to know these Icons better. Twinkle needs to figure out a good posture so she isn't pointing her foot towards the interviewee or wearing an awkward outfit. I look forward to more chats.

[@quadri9805]

I agree

[@butterpecan9749]

You put in words what I'd in mind. I agree that Twinkle could do better in terms of her wardrobe choice & her demeanor towards these larger than life iconic artists.

[@pranav.gautham4031]

I too agree... Bcos mam was uncomfortable and she couldn't sit comfortably

[@Rjvenu9911]

Exactly! She trying to be cool but looks so annoying

[@AsmaToorkham]

You put the words of my mouth

Ma'am, I'm big fan of akshay sir since childhood, but I really like the way you interview actors and actress,

[@ushavasudev4538]

Truly an amazing interview!

[@sandeepbhandal]

Twinkle's body language (the way she is sitting) seems to betray her nervousness/feeling intimidated by Shabana, so it seems like she has to adopt a more powerful posture to make a non-verbal statement. Just an opinion!

[@cibauh6783]

excellent observation and nicely put.... and a little glance down from Shabana at 2.02 to check if Twinkle's leg are at safe distance or not....

[@indirachandra4329]

Yes, great I thought same too

[@shadiap]

Perfect

[@zehramurad372]

I think she should not sit in that position it's disrespectful. Visually it's not looking good. I am feeling uncomfortable and can't watch video.

[@Rkm-mk]

I disagree! Twinkle is comfortable with Shabana being in the bollywood family and having know each other and rubbing shoulders before. When the interviewer is comfortable, you are able to get the best interview. It's all about comfort. Those days are gone when you have to be prim and proper. We are living in different era! Just opinion

[@anitanaikvlogs1118]

Good interview. Hats off both women. Love ❤

[@ranjanianandnatraj]

My all time favourite Shabana....loved your acting in all your movies especially Masoom...👍

[@mdasifansari5386]

Reading the below comments from non Muslims for a Muslim woman shows that India is changing, it emphasizes that now politicians cannot play the communal game, everybody I mean everybody needs peace and growth for our country. Thank you twinkle for making this a real interview and not a fake one like koffee with karan. We need more guests like this one. Sheena chaddha, anju mahendru, naseer sahab, shahana gowswami and many more

[@madhujana7]

I was pleasantly surprised by this interview!

[@sinnerking7]

I liked when shabana G pronounced often as often and not as ofTen 😃👍😂. Finally I'm clear 😭😭😭😭👍

[@akankshapatwari4167]

Both are correct according to the dictionary.

[@Lubna-M]

Often is pronounced Of-Ten here in the U.S. Its often everywhere else. Both are right.
