The Icons: Shabana Azmi with Twinkle Khanna | Tweak India

[@harsimrankaur2955]

"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 ❤️

[@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.

[@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.

[@Anamcara123]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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?

[@Ayesha_11122]

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

[@prachishakya]

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

[@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

[@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 ....

[@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

[@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.

[@pinkyj3197]

Lots of learning and experiences being imparted that inspires to imbibe...Thanku Twinkle for hosting such amazing interviews..

[@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

[@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

[@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...🙏

[@riturai2978]

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

[@ritarodrigues9946]

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..

[@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 💐

[@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]

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

[@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.

[@husnapathan532]
