?????? i just cannot stop binging on these- madam simi garewal, what have you done to me? i love these interviews, yes, absolutely loveee them! believe it or not, you can actually see when someone's lying or when someone is legitimately passionate about a certain thing when talking to the host. simi maam does the absolute best all while making it seem so effortless. oh did i mention how aesthetically pleasing is it to watch these? no unnecessary sha-bang or poppy music, just pure class & elegance. i can go on and on about this. i would want to start a petition to bring back Rendezvous with Miss Garewal!!
This show was way ahead of it’s time. It’s still relevant and it certainly will be relevant in the future decades to come. Can’t praise Simi Ji’s intellect and talent enough, to have created a show like this.
With Rekha Simi expressed she didn't believe Rekha denial with him she give him expressions that she believes n respect him, complete opposite of rekhaa interview, not fair at all simii
He has gone through the toughest times one can imagine & emerged victorious. He is the most humble, modest, intellectual, finest, invincible, unmatchable person I've ever seen.. Nobody can ever match his skills...
Woah. Never seen Mr.Bachchan express himself so openly with clarity. He definitely seems extremely reserved in every other interview. Wonderful job Simi Ma'am. Kindly let me know if I can in any way help you to get back this show. All the best.
In 1998, Amitji said what am I doing here at the age of 56, and look at him at the age of 75 he is still here.we love to watch him always because he is legend
Now 54+ actors like Akshay Kumar, the 3 big Khans (all 56) still act as heroes. That time, Amitabh Bachchan was labelled "old", but even 56 nowadays is still a hero's age.
@@mohm7047 VFX...new stories ideas...budget increases...all these factors make 56-57 plus actors relevant in today's days and time...but bachchan is in true sense the legend...
Everyone has right to enclosed or end the certain chapters for everyone's sake ! They all are human beings like us they should keep things private and personal . Some would be emotional some would bring pain some would be Anger or would be unsatisfied. .beter to leave all such things leave behind sealed forever.
I am crying listening his poetry reciting by the Diva Ji Simi Aapi.....love from Pakistan....he survived all the odds....unprecedented....he is beating in hearts of billions across the globe and his adversaries have gone to the dustbin of history ever....we Pakistanis love him like any indian does.... I swear....💝💝💝💗💗💗🌷🌷🌷
I like rendezvous with simi Grewal much more than koffee with Karan. It's real and actually asking about the person themselves, the events they have been through instead of gossiping and rating other people
One word: dignity. Whatever his cultural, religious, personal , social life is........he has strength and fierceness and calm of an ocean. While knowing himself almost completely, he moves ahead what he believes in.
Huge respect for Amitabh...he is the super hero for ages I believe. Our family is a big fan of AB. Simi, you are you, the angel like figure...calm and graceful at all times. No one can match that with you for decades. Pls come back with this interview for common people like us . I would love to be with you someday. Your truly a blessing to us. Love you Simi mam. 👑🌹💐🧡
According to amitabh's age in the show, the show was hosted in 1999. At that time Amitabh was going through bad time in his filming carrer. This is the reason he is saying, I am trying to match Ajay Devgns and Govindas. But in 2000 his carrer took a major turn when he got KBC and then he did Mohabbatein. Then he never looked back.
AB has won a battle that he lost way back. Anyone who realises that this Man was boycotted and bannedby the media can easily understand that he is still bigger than anything. No other actor can parallel his status ever!
Agree completely! moreover he is so lucky to have Jaya besides him who gave up her career for him & family, stood by him like a solid fort protecting him during his thick & thin days. The new generation do get irritated by her nature being rude but one should alway try to understand that she had gone through hell back in those days where every other actresses & politicians trying to exploit him or being opportunistic for fame, I bet being a wife of superstar she definitely had to balance herself mentally and same time appear normal. The amazing part is she never ever gave up and today if AB is still standing tall until this day is due to Jaya. I hope AB & his entire family including her grandchildren realises the fact.
I think he never loved Rekha.. And I also feel he wasnt man enough. Why do I say that? Because men know when a woman is vulnerable. Rekha always wanted to be loved and he knew that.. He was just going with the flow. And then ofcourse his father must have had different plans for him. But then why mess around with someone when you cant make that decision of being with them. Was it fair to Rekha? And obviously he is not happy with his wife. Jaya is also miserable all the time. Seriously the only one that was truly hurt (Rekha) always has a happy face. No matter how hurt she is internally . This message is for all the men if you have no intention of marrying dont lead the other person on..(and if there is a caste problem or any other it should be looked upon before starting a realtionship) He had a chance to clear things, but he chose to stay clear and lie. He definitely has something with Rekha..
Actually I think he was already married to jaya when he met rekha, he married jaya in 1973 and then rekha and amitabh first met during their first movie together in Do Anjaane 1976. I think Do Anjaane was their first film together. They definitely had something together. They both probably did develop feelings for each other but it wasn't going to blossom into anything more since amitabh was already married to jaya. In this situation both women jaya and rekha got hurt for sure :(
He was already married to Jaya and when he met Rekha he was already father of 2 children. I don't know why ppl spread misinformation without any knowledge. He met Rekha for the time in 1976 and their affair started in same year.
She was just one of his many flings, but for her, he was THE ONE. And he still is. And that's just about it. I was watching Salim Khan interview where he was asked about his association with AB and why it faded with time, and he said that it's his nature not to let anyone come too close to him. I think he's a very ambitious man, and doesn't let anything affect his focus.
Here i come ...watched the rendezvous with rekha ji just before this oh wow ..in love with simi and her interviews ❤will watch everyday every interviews with these stars one by one
You have an amazing presence Amitabhji. Thank you for being part of some of the most memorable childhood memories. It always bring happiness. Wishing you all the best always.
I re-watch your interviews from time to time cause this is a mastery of interview. All these tricky questions even very direct questioning but with class. People want the "scoop" in recent language actually get that part too but one needs to understand how to even read body language and comprehend the things told here and things not told here. A classic in Indian television for sure
Simi Jee is such a intelligent and smart woman.. very articulate with her words & the respondent whoever it is almost is obliged to answer as though simmi can see their truth which was so evident in Rekha & Saif and amirta interviews.. Please even if it is just on youtube come back with this amazing grace...
Intelligent, and articulate, r u seriously so foolish on everyday basis or is this just one of those dumb things people sometimes say, Ghanta articulate, everything she says is scripted and rehearsed innumerable times
Concerned lady!! The affair between Rekha & him was revealed by yash chopra & muzaffar ali! Its ok to not accept the affair but not even taking her name! Poor Rekha :( The sad part is women always wronged& blamed
Simiji ,thank you once more, for this interview with Amitabh Bacchan, my childhood janoon. As I have mentioned before I am not surprised how flawlessly you anchored the interview. What can ask for more than An eloquent lady like Simiji talking to Amitabh Bacchan, aka....Anthony, Vijay, Jay.................l The poem written by Amitabh speaks all about his life in a nutshell. Media, just for the sake of greed can tarnish the identity of the Gods they create. On one hand the masses loved him on the other instant same people wanted to buy cheap stories sold on Page3 from the stands and mock the very idol they worshipped. To judge without reason is a crime, the repercussions of gossip eventually destroys many happy families. Like any other person out there struggling to keep a healthy image ,Amitabh had to answer back. A very sad reality to see a great human being endure the mockery of his masses he thought loved him. Deep inside he knew they only loved the onscreen Anthony and not Amitabh Bacchan. He came, he saw, he conquered, he struggled, he survived. Respect for him , you will always be embedded in still a many admirers hearts, who know who Amitabh Bacchan is.
Fair enough she was lovely and all ... but here she never let it go with coming back at him till he gives in . She is brilliant she brought the best in him .
The important question is: Rekha is calling him didivai's husband. They used to live in the same building as Rekha ji said. So they were acquaintances even if not friends. On top of that, they have acted in so many films together, they were colleagues. So if everything is very normal and there is no tension, why don't they ever interact socially? Why do both of them keep saying that they don't talk to each other? Is this normal? AB goes along quite well with Hema Malini even now. So why is Rekha segregated?
Because they clearly had a relationship which both of them are hiding now. He's hiding it for his family and his image and Rekha is hiding it for his image
simi your way of asking is simly breathtaking......................it made me to realisse how sweet a woman base on her voice,charisma, and after all its you......................................................................................................
This must have been an awkward time. In the words of Jethro Tull, too old to rock and roll, and too young to die. Of course, substitute rock and roll for being the angry young man. He looks awful with the shoe polish dyed hair. Post 2000, I think he looks better. It helped that he stopped fighting the aging process. Other actors of his peer group never knew when to stop playing the same roles, but he adapted to his age gracefully
I always admire this man for his dedication towards his career, moreover he is so lucky to have Jaya besides him who gave up her career for him & family, stood by him like a solid fort protecting him during his thick & thin days. The new generation do get irritated by her nature being rude but one should always try to understand that she had gone through a hell, back in those days where every other politicians, media were trying to exploit or actresses being opportunistic due to his stardom, I bet being a wife of superstar she definitely had to balance herself mentally and same time appear normal. The amazing part is she never ever gave up and today if AB is still standing tall until this day is due to Jaya. I hope AB & his entire family including her grandchildren realises this root fact.
Mr.Bachan is wise not to get so deep into the questions of Simi asking about Rekha.Simi & Mr..Bachan know the truth of his love for Rekha.It's the body language that gives it away! My respect to to Mr.Bachan
If he wanted to marry Rekha he would have it’s his choice I don’t believe he love her other wise no one can stop him if he really wanted too !! It’s his choice
Simi ma'am I see your interviews just to see you the most beautiful amazing and sophisticated persona... Reverence for u. You make everyone look and sound good
Amitabh Bachchan is still deeply in love with Rekha. He does not want to admit it because it will obviously hurt Jaya and his children with Jaya. Unfortunately, Amitabh is stuck with Jaya. It clearly shows that Amitabh is secretly suffering and unhappy but he puts on a brave face in public. How sad ! Wish he met Rekha before he met Jaya. Rekha and Amitabh would have been such a beautiful couple !
Elijah Ratwatte had he loved Rekha so much.. He would have left his family.. He obviously had a choice and he chose the people he loved.. And still is with Jaya since 40+years. You can't act for sooooooooo long.
g g a good man ll not leave the person who trusted him ... tat may be the reason he wouldn't ve left Jaya... love Nd marriage r different...both r not the same... marriage is responsibility
ohh my god!! cant stop watching simi ji .. she is amazing . i hope you are reading this. you are my ideal.. i mean i love how you speak .. so much of grace and elegance and poise and what a remarkable hold on English... such a good way of taking interviews. i hope the Now bollywood anchors learn from it . so happy to have found your channel.. i hope you come up with it again . it would be a treat to watch you again. p.s. i love your movies too. lots of love simi jee.
One must go through the Rekha episode and the contrasting respect that she has for Amitabh Bachchan unlike him, huge respect for Rekha Maam for her profound definition of love & respect she still holds for him as a person unlike this rude attitude of Mr Bacchan towards her!
hats of to the legend Amitabh. this man has always kept himself in positivity come what may whether it be bofors scandal, AB corp etc. He is so opposite in real life. he might seem very charismatic and macho onscreen, but offscreen he is very simple and laidback.
I don't why I am watching your Interviews ..May be its about the politeness you brought on ..May be its the way of hospitality ..May be its the sweetest way of treating others ..I am someone who is from south India where you had little bit knowledge about knowledge Bollywood Celebrities. .I am wondering about the way people reacting to your questions whether its about profession or personal life. .And about Amitabh ,I am less known ..Thank you Simi and Thank you Amitabh..
I just wonder if Amitabh Bachchan had truly eloped with Rekha, as there were rumours about it. I think several things would have happened to him - he would've been ostracised by the industry and may have been consigned to oblivion, he may have faced a boycott by the makers and the industry and he definitely would've been hated by his children. I just don't know but something tells me that his injury in Coolie was like a curse. I must admit, his career has been even better after 1997 and at 80, even now. Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and his family are such a wonderful and happy family.
I think Rekha and him do have a similar streak which he does hate with anyone else which is normals to happen. But he said it rightly she and him have very different social life. I mean look at her and him.
He doesnt have a clue at that point what kind of daughter-in-law will his son bring home in 10 years ;) What an amazing ,long and full life this man has had 🙏
Damn, Simi Ma'am was quite full on with him! You can't just tell people their personality has changed and then call them unhappy. 😱😁 Good on him for remaining composed and engaged. He must've had to catch his breath and have a lie down after the interview though. 😁
Yes - it's a different interview to all the hundreds of others others on Amit-ji. Simi-ji has known Amit-ji before he became a star. An old friendship brings with it an insight not given to others.. And btw Amit-ji enjoyed the interview; he even rang his brother Ajitabh in the break and said loudly that it was fantastic. Don't forget he came back for another rendezvous with his family! Regards, SimiGarewalOfficial Team
@simar.9741 so why did he marry her? Kids are only excuses... if a man wants to leave then he leaves. He was doing timepas with Rekha and other actresses.
Imagine watching this 22 years after he said, he was not relevant and was looking up to Shahrukh, Govinda, Ajay Devgan,. Today all these people are jobless and you Mr. Bachchan, going strong. 😆 For that matter, even Ranbir Kapoor is out.
Simi mam what will make me speak like you , speak in a polite manner like you ? May I know mam which school has produced one like you ? Keep enriching us mam and stay well.
Well I'm glad I wasn't interviewed by you and I'm an ordinary working class guy back in England. First up, you're a far cry to the girl that featured with Dharmendra in Naseeb! How on earth can one person transend into a stratosphere? This makes no sense. In summary, all you have tried to do is pick holes with Amitabh of which he eloquently handled throughout. The nuances in your tone and questioning technique otherwise left the impression that you were trying to put him and peel off layer on top of layer. He's an actor for goodness sake and in show business everybody has that pressure of trying to handle fame, stardom, and keep up with the high standards set. There's always a time when you know you've lost your youth and you're no longer number 1, and there's always a new kid on the block. That's life. What's important is the people that matter to you that most, and I would imagine in his case, his family and loved ones.
What an abject comment! The USP of Simi’s shows, from all I've seen, is to reveal the inner person, what they are going thru..how they deal with failure or success. What do u expect her to ask him? Nothing?? This was a well-handled interview of AB & his “2nd innings” struggle, especially when juxtaposed with the following one (2003? not sure) - have u seen it? We can see his journey and get inspired...
Hozefa Merchant Age and change naturally takes it's course. Not a one-size-fits-all-science, but we from experience know this can happen to humans; everyone at some stage goes through a time of their life when they are on a downer. Nothing abject about that; perhaps you lack life-experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** From other interviews I understand she is a friend of both, Bachchan and Rekha. She did not seem miffed at amitabh at all. She was charming the way she talked to him. This is the only time amitabh was asked about Rekha and only time he answered.
***** Not weird to me. My Dad was fun loving before. he joked, played pranks - he's gone all serious now. I often want to ask him the same thing too. Mom says people change with age & responsibilities. So since Simi knew Mr B from then - its not weird I guess.
Though I always felt he had an affair with Rekha, however after his interview I feel either he is hiding his affair for protecting his family's dignity or he's innocent and was just attacked my media unnecessarily.
Destiny has been both-too good to be true as well as too bad to be true for Amitabh Bachchan. While it shot him like a meteor until the early 80's, that damn accident was the ceiling that he struck, post which things have slowly begun to balance out towards the negative, which over the years gave him a permanent path of descent that he came crashing down to be gobbled up in dust and defeat. That's until KBC happened, which was aagain fuel that reloaded, which enabled him to fly! However, i truly wished for 90's to be the time when destiny was a gift of god, honey-sweet, to Bachchan. These were the times when he reached mid-stage in both acting and his life, where he wasn't young, neither was he old. As an actor, I feel this would've been a perfect time for luck to have favoured him with International movie offers! Not only would he have got out of the mess, but the material that he brought onto the board at that point of time, be it in his looks during then and experience in acting, he could've had another pheonix-peak high to hsi career in world cinema! Hollywood,French and other industries would have made PERFECT use of this artist's screen and performing potential during then, by offering him and plethora of multiple roles that one can find it difficult to name. He could have bagged leading roles as well as powerfully written character-specific roles in a plethora of movies! One thing being his struggles in every aspect of his life, I feel that Amitabh completely shot past the imagination of Bollywood in his regard, considering what else they could've done with him, not to mention the already stagnant times that Bollywood went through starting from mid 80's,through the 90's. It was time for him to move on beyond his realm of confinement which it became back then, it's unfortunate that none of the world around woke up to this man's magic.
Hollywood underestimated the Indian actors till India's economic graph went on an upswing. By that time, AB had gracefully chosen his roles and paths within Hindi entertainment/media industry. Hollywood lost gem of a talent due to its ignorance/arrogance, and AB lost an opportunity to showcase his acting talent in English films. Now, when subtitles are becoming commonplace; and when internet reaches every home, AB's films of 1970s will be English-subtitled and internet-screened. And AB may gain the international/hollywood recognition long overdue...
?????? i just cannot stop binging on these- madam simi garewal, what have you done to me? i love these interviews, yes, absolutely loveee them! believe it or not, you can actually see when someone's lying or when someone is legitimately passionate about a certain thing when talking to the host. simi maam does the absolute best all while making it seem so effortless. oh did i mention how aesthetically pleasing is it to watch these? no unnecessary sha-bang or poppy music, just pure class & elegance. i can go on and on about this. i would want to start a petition to bring back Rendezvous with Miss Garewal!!
Exactly ❤️... I'll sign the petition
I agree heavily... I love and just can't stop watching these interviews. It's so nice to get to know them through simi Ji.
Where did hr mention about rrkha?
exactly
This show was way ahead of it’s time. It’s still relevant and it certainly will be relevant in the future decades to come. Can’t praise Simi Ji’s intellect and talent enough, to have created a show like this.
22:28 Rekha topic
Thanks
I was searching for the same
Shital Jadhav welcome i knew people would search Rekha in amitabhs interview 🙂
@@saingovekar2394 ☺😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
With Rekha Simi expressed she didn't believe Rekha denial with him she give him expressions that she believes n respect him, complete opposite of rekhaa interview, not fair at all simii
Can see the sadness in his eyes..deep rooted sadness..must really admire him for coming out of it and triumphing
What sadness! He was the one who did wrong to Rekha. He's the culprit not the victim! He should have had the courage to re marry.
He was in huge debt at that time, his production company ABCL collapse badly, he was planning to sell his bungalow to payoff his debts.
@@aishwaryagupta2914 he's much more than rekha get over it
He has gone through the toughest times one can imagine & emerged victorious. He is the most humble, modest, intellectual, finest, invincible, unmatchable person I've ever seen.. Nobody can ever match his skills...
i cant stop binging rendezvous, this is definitely the BESTT ever talk show. It's so much more than just talks, Simi is an inspiration!!
Really? I'm indian but can't stand bollywood actors maybe it's because I'm born in England
Amitabh Bachchan is very well spoken and level headed and that too with such unimaginable success. It speaks volumes about his upbringing.
Woah. Never seen Mr.Bachchan express himself so openly with clarity. He definitely seems extremely reserved in every other interview. Wonderful job Simi Ma'am. Kindly let me know if I can in any way help you to get back this show. All the best.
What's your profession???

this is how interviews should be...calm but candid.

Don't think he was candid. He was hiding stuff cleverly
Everyone has right to enclosed or end the certain chapters for everyone's sake ! They all are human beings like us they should keep things private and personal . Some would be emotional some would bring pain some would be

What an interview! So calm and peaceful and candid.
loved the candid responses and frustrations by Simi ji on Amitabh ji' humility and modesty when she was praising him
AB has won a battle that he lost way back. Anyone who realises that this Man was boycotted and bannedby the media can easily understand that he is still bigger than anything. No other actor can parallel his status ever!
Y he was boycotted???
Agree completely! moreover he is so lucky to have Jaya besides him who gave up her career for him & family, stood by him like a solid fort protecting him during his thick & thin days. The new generation do get irritated by her nature being rude but one should alway try to understand that she had gone through hell back in those days where every other actresses & politicians trying to exploit him or being opportunistic for fame, I bet being a wife of superstar she definitely had to balance herself mentally and same time appear normal. The amazing part is she never ever gave up and today if AB is still standing tall until this day is due to Jaya. I hope AB & his entire family including her grandchildren realises the fact.
He is moron , was a butcher he said khoon ka badla khoon killed innocent sikhs in delhi , this moron
She's a great interviewer, she will probe till she gets the answer and isn't fearful. Beautiful and intelligent. Love from London
I think he never loved Rekha.. And I also feel he wasnt man enough. Why do I say that? Because men know when a woman is vulnerable. Rekha always wanted to be loved and he knew that.. He was just going with the flow. And then ofcourse his father must have had different plans for him. But then why mess around with someone when you cant make that decision of being with them.

100% Correct
Actually I think he was already married to jaya when he met rekha, he married jaya in 1973 and then rekha and amitabh first met during their first movie together in Do Anjaane 1976.

Please even if it is just on youtube come back with this amazing grace...
Aww thank you simmi jee.. ♥️ sending love and best wishes from the uk
Intelligent, and articulate, r u seriously so foolish on everyday basis or is this just one of those dumb things people sometimes say,

What can ask for more than An eloquent lady like Simiji talking to Amitabh Bacchan, aka....Anthony, Vijay, Jay.................l
The poem written by Amitabh speaks all about his life in a nutshell. Media, just for the sake of greed can tarnish the identity of the Gods they create. On one hand the masses loved him on the other instant same people wanted to buy cheap stories sold on Page3 from the stands and mock the very idol they worshipped.
To judge without reason is a crime, the repercussions of gossip eventually destroys many happy families. Like any other person out there struggling to keep a healthy image ,Amitabh had to answer back. A very sad reality to see a great human being endure the mockery of his masses he thought loved him. Deep inside he knew they only loved the onscreen Anthony and not Amitabh Bacchan.
He came, he saw, he conquered, he struggled, he survived. Respect for him , you will always be embedded in still a many admirers hearts, who know who Amitabh Bacchan is.
simi ji... I hope you read this - Pls Pls Pls come back... come back with this same format - we need you, we miss you.
This is one good example of taking an interview... amazing to see simi.. now days you don't see these kind of one interview atleast...
beautiful interview. Well spoken Amitabh bachchan. You go BOY
Fair enough she was lovely and all ... but here she never let it go with coming back at him till he gives in . She is brilliant she brought the best in him .

Good point
Because they clearly had a relationship which both of them are hiding now. He's hiding it for his family and his image and Rekha is hiding it for his image
maybe because there's no closure about them somehow
Same Here Why Don't they can have good friendship..?? As many costar hve Frindship..?
simi your way of asking is simly breathtaking......................it made me to realisse how sweet a woman base on her voice,charisma, and after all its you......................................................................................................
So true...nobody can step into her charm, grace and angelic look....just pure
Not really. She acts weird
This must have been an awkward time. In the words of Jethro Tull, too old to rock and roll, and too young to die. Of course, substitute rock and roll for being the angry young man. He looks awful with the shoe polish dyed hair. Post 2000, I think he looks better. It helped that he stopped fighting the aging process. Other actors of his peer group never knew when to stop playing the same roles, but he adapted to his age gracefully
I can see sadness in his eyes😑
I always admire this man for his dedication towards his career, moreover he is so lucky to have Jaya besides him who gave up her career for him & family, stood by him like a solid fort protecting him during his thick & thin days. The new generation do get irritated by her nature being rude but one should always try to understand that she had gone through a hell, back in those days where every other politicians, media were trying to exploit or actresses being opportunistic due to his stardom, I bet being a wife of superstar she definitely had to balance herself mentally and same time appear normal. The amazing part is she never ever gave up and today if AB is still standing tall until this day is due to Jaya. I hope AB & his entire family including her grandchildren realises this root fact.
Living legend Amitabh ji...Great interview
Mr.Bachan is wise not to get so deep into the questions of Simi asking about Rekha.Simi & Mr..Bachan know the truth of his love for Rekha.It's the body language that gives it away! My respect to to Mr.Bachan
i think rekha and amitabh makes a great couple hope to see them in a film together
If he wanted to marry Rekha he would have it’s his choice I don’t believe he love her other wise no one can stop him if he really wanted too !! It’s his choice
Yes you are right
Oh really ? I never knew it... thank you so much for letting us know....
Simi ma'am I see your interviews just to see you the most beautiful amazing and sophisticated persona... Reverence for u.
You make everyone look and sound good
He looks and sounds traumatised in this interview. Eyes full of sadness. One of the very view articulate actors.
Amitabh Bachchan is still deeply in love with Rekha. He does not want to admit it because it will obviously hurt Jaya and his children with Jaya. Unfortunately, Amitabh is stuck with Jaya. It clearly shows that Amitabh is secretly suffering and unhappy but he puts on a brave face in public. How sad ! Wish he met Rekha before he met Jaya. Rekha and Amitabh would have been such a beautiful couple !
Elijah Ratwatte had he loved Rekha so much.. He would have left his family.. He obviously had a choice and he chose the people he loved.. And still is with Jaya since 40+years. You can't act for sooooooooo long.
g g a good man ll not leave the person who trusted him ... tat may be the reason he wouldn't ve left Jaya... love Nd marriage r different...both r not the same... marriage is responsibility
Telling alie on face. But his face did not support him.
Amitabh Bachchan - grand, best, beautiful !!! 💖🇮🇳💖🇷🇺💖🇮🇳💖🇷🇺💖🇮🇳💖🇷🇺💖🇮🇳
ohh my god!! cant stop watching simi ji .. she is amazing . i hope you are reading this. you are my ideal.. i mean i love how you speak .. so much of grace and elegance and poise and what a remarkable hold on English... such a good way of taking interviews. i hope the Now bollywood anchors learn from it . so happy to have found your channel.. i hope you come up with it again . it would be a treat to watch you again.
p.s. i love your movies too. lots of love simi jee.
The Thumbnail, one image, Big B's face shows Intelligence & hard work. That is the face of India.
AB and Rekha have the same sad eyes. Both are victims of life.
Black Widow... not victims of life ... victims of jaya, pata nahi kis narak mai jalegi...sab kuch dabochkar bhi khoosh nahi hai
Leena they cheated on her.. She was his wife for God's sake.. Why do people even consider this right!
Leena hey don’t say about rekha came after in his life jaya was already married with him
@@Leena-zh4lj are you mad ?
@@aditikamble7001 little less than you..😊
One must go through the Rekha episode and the contrasting respect that she has for Amitabh Bachchan unlike him, huge respect for Rekha Maam for her profound definition of love & respect she still holds for him as a person unlike this rude attitude of Mr Bacchan towards her!
hats of to the legend Amitabh. this man has always kept himself in positivity come what may whether it be bofors scandal, AB corp etc. He is so opposite in real life. he might seem very charismatic and macho onscreen, but offscreen he is very simple and laidback.
His voice is dynamic
This man is the ULTIMATE MEGASTAR❤️❤️
After 22 years also,you are still the best
Calm ,candid ,eloquent not to mention elegant.
Koffee with Karan should watch this show . Pure interview ❤
Sir, you are still around and how! There will never be a personality like you, ever!
Love from Pakistan to this philosopher artist of all time....he will remain there forever...❤❤❤💗💗💗💝💝💝🌷🌷🌷
We want this show back!❤
21:50 he'd tallong about rekha she said the same thing about him in this subjuct u dont have necessary to be next or with a person to feel them 😭
I feel both of them are twin flames sort of as we may call it
He is so humble like other greatest people...
I agree with Amitabh Bachcha, the media is ruthless and insensitive and it's becoming more of a nuisance instead of improving.
I don't why I am watching your Interviews ..May be its about the politeness you brought on ..May be its the way of hospitality ..May be its the sweetest way of treating others ..I am someone who is from south India where you had little bit knowledge about knowledge Bollywood Celebrities. .I am wondering about the way people reacting to your questions whether its about profession or personal life. .And about Amitabh ,I am less known ..Thank you Simi and Thank you Amitabh..
I just wonder if Amitabh Bachchan had truly eloped with Rekha, as there were rumours about it. I think several things would have happened to him - he would've been ostracised by the industry and may have been consigned to oblivion, he may have faced a boycott by the makers and the industry and he definitely would've been hated by his children. I just don't know but something tells me that his injury in Coolie was like a curse. I must admit, his career has been even better after 1997 and at 80, even now. Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and his family are such a wonderful and happy family.
No podcast today could come close!
I think Rekha and him do have a similar streak which he does hate with anyone else which is normals to happen. But he said it rightly she and him have very different social life. I mean look at her and him.
Ufff AB is super super cool elegant and just WOW!!!
He doesnt have a clue at that point what kind of daughter-in-law will his son bring home in 10 years ;) What an amazing ,long and full life this man has had 🙏
Best interviewer Simi Garewal❤️
Well spoken mr bachchan
Damn, Simi Ma'am was quite full on with him! You can't just tell people their personality has changed and then call them unhappy. 😱😁 Good on him for remaining composed and engaged. He must've had to catch his breath and have a lie down after the interview though. 😁
Yes - it's a different interview to all the hundreds of others others on Amit-ji. Simi-ji has known Amit-ji before he became a star. An old friendship brings with it an insight not given to others.. And btw Amit-ji enjoyed the interview; he even rang his brother Ajitabh in the break and said loudly that it was fantastic. Don't forget he came back for another rendezvous with his family! Regards, SimiGarewalOfficial Team
Hard-hitting interview. Between a libra man and a libra woman, guess who calls the shots? 😂
He was genuinely happy around Rekha.
Really? So why did he marry with jaya? Once a cheater always a cheater.
Kids
@@simar.9741 what kids? A married man with kids ... it's called adultery. Not love. And nobody forced him to marry with jaya it's was his choice.
He stayed with Jaya bz of the kids. If he hadn’t them, he would certainly have left Jaya.
@simar.9741 so why did he marry her? Kids are only excuses... if a man wants to leave then he leaves. He was doing timepas with Rekha and other actresses.
Hi is very wise and resistant ❤❤❤
All the kids in Bachchan family have those eyes, except Abhishek who has Jaya's eyes.
He’s very well spoken
That’s so right he was happy when rekha was around him. Sometimes eyes can tell the truth.
Lovely video
Amitabh looking so handsome
Imagine watching this 22 years after he said, he was not relevant and was looking up to Shahrukh, Govinda, Ajay Devgan,. Today all these people are jobless and you Mr. Bachchan, going strong. 😆 For that matter, even Ranbir Kapoor is out.
He is still going strong. He is competing with younger generation as well like ayushman khurana, rajkumar rao etc.
@@sujay4533 👍
Amita bhachan looks good in 1998 i wish he look likes this know 2023 clean shave die your hair jet black
The two most sensible people
Love you Sirji...Mr.B...
He answered very genuinely on Rekha matter..
He is very well spoken with an RP accent
Amitabh Sir ❤

Countrys pride big b
This man has been through his own personal hell, but he came out of it amazingly!!!!!
Simi ji love you ❤️🧡
Well I'm glad I wasn't interviewed by you and I'm an ordinary working class guy back in England. First up, you're a far cry to the girl that featured with Dharmendra in Naseeb! How on earth can one person transend into a stratosphere? This makes no sense. In summary, all you have tried to do is pick holes with Amitabh of which he eloquently handled throughout. The nuances in your tone and questioning technique otherwise left the impression that you were trying to put him and peel off layer on top of layer. He's an actor for goodness sake and in show business everybody has that pressure of trying to handle fame, stardom, and keep up with the high standards set. There's always a time when you know you've lost your youth and you're no longer number 1, and there's always a new kid on the block. That's life. What's important is the people that matter to you that most, and I would imagine in his case, his family and loved ones.
What an abject comment! The USP of Simi’s shows, from all I've seen, is to reveal the inner person, what they are going thru..how they deal with failure or success. What do u expect her to ask him? Nothing?? This was a well-handled interview of AB & his “2nd innings” struggle, especially when juxtaposed with the following one (2003? not sure) - have u seen it? We can see his journey and get inspired...
Hozefa Merchant
Age and change naturally takes it's course. Not a one-size-fits-all-science, but we from experience know this can happen to humans; everyone at some stage goes through a time of their life when they are on a downer.
Nothing abject about that; perhaps you lack life-experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** From other interviews I understand she is a friend of both, Bachchan and Rekha. She did not seem miffed at amitabh at all. She was charming the way she talked to him. This is the only time amitabh was asked about Rekha and only time he answered.
***** Not weird to me. My Dad was fun loving before. he joked, played pranks - he's gone all serious now. I often want to ask him the same thing too. Mom says people change with age & responsibilities. So since Simi knew Mr B from then - its not weird I guess.

@26;00 sami got emotional , a rare thing in her interviews
Though I always felt he had an affair with Rekha, however after his interview I feel either he is hiding his affair for protecting his family's dignity or he's innocent and was just attacked my media unnecessarily.
प्रेम की सार्वजनिक चर्चा कोई शादीशुदा कैसे करेगा ।वैसे प्रेम था जो किया नही जाता हो जाता है ।
@@मदनमोहनशर्माशर्मा can you explain in English. Don't understand the language.
What is the third option ? He has to accept or deny it.
@@balqisjahaanarakhanum1152 I'm giving reasons for both the sides. Read properly before commenting
@@aishwaryagupta2914 he is hiding his affair .He loves rekha very much .
Destiny has been both-too good to be true as well as too bad to be true for Amitabh Bachchan. While it shot him like a meteor until the early 80's, that damn accident was the ceiling that he struck, post which things have slowly begun to balance out towards the negative, which over the years gave him a permanent path of descent that he came crashing down to be gobbled up in dust and defeat. That's until KBC happened, which was aagain fuel that reloaded, which enabled him to fly!
However, i truly wished for 90's to be the time when destiny was a gift of god, honey-sweet, to Bachchan. These were the times when he reached mid-stage in both acting and his life, where he wasn't young, neither was he old. As an actor, I feel this would've been a perfect time for luck to have favoured him with International movie offers! Not only would he have got out of the mess, but the material that he brought onto the board at that point of time, be it in his looks during then and experience in acting, he could've had another pheonix-peak high to hsi career in world cinema!
Hollywood,French and other industries would have made PERFECT use of this artist's screen and performing potential during then, by offering him and plethora of multiple roles that one can find it difficult to name. He could have bagged leading roles as well as powerfully written character-specific roles in a plethora of movies!
One thing being his struggles in every aspect of his life, I feel that Amitabh completely shot past the imagination of Bollywood in his regard, considering what else they could've done with him, not to mention the already stagnant times that Bollywood went through starting from mid 80's,through the 90's. It was time for him to move on beyond his realm of confinement which it became back then, it's unfortunate that none of the world around woke up to this man's magic.
Hollywood underestimated the Indian actors till India's economic graph went on an upswing. By that time, AB had gracefully chosen his roles and paths within Hindi entertainment/media industry. Hollywood lost gem of a talent due to its ignorance/arrogance, and AB lost an opportunity to showcase his acting talent in English films. Now, when subtitles are becoming commonplace; and when internet reaches every home, AB's films of 1970s will be English-subtitled and internet-screened. And AB may gain the international/hollywood recognition long overdue...
He looked worried because may be his company was in debt, Simmi ji sensed that.
