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
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 🙏
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❤❤❤
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!
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
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.
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! 🙏😇❤️
Vinod Khanna has already told in many occasions why he left Bollywood. There are his many interviews available in RUclips. 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.
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
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???
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
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.
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!
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.
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😊
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ??
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..
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
Such boring and inexplicably bored interviewers! They could've made it into a much more engaging interview. Kudos to Ms.Somaya for being patient and tolerant!
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 .
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 🙏🙏💕
Hmmm... hmmmm... acha...acha....hmmm....hmmmm.....hmmmm.....hhmmmm...... acha.....hmmm....acha...hmm....hmmmmm.......hhmmmm.....acha.....Hmmm... hmmmm... acha...acha....hmmm....hmmmm.....hmmmm.....hhmmmm...... acha.....hmmm....acha...hmm....hmmmmm.......hhmmmm.....acha Here you go, I am an interviewer now.
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
@ 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 ..
@ 8:32, interrupted by the girl before Bhavna can finish her story about how she got into this job !!! Today's girls !!! No patience. Sorry to say this.
They are interviewing her and as required they are listening to her so we can listen too . I think they are well behaved and excellent interviewers , they are not interrupting her , letting her speak and it is such a pleasure to hear this podcast . Why would you want them to be loud and aggressive . Is being soft spoken a fault ? Wondering
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.
MAM JI AAJ KI BOLYWEED KI BAT BAHOT ALAG HAI SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT KITNA TALENTED MHANTI SALASH LADKA THAA FIR BHI BULIWEEDIAN USE KACCHA KA KACCHA KHA GAYEEEEEEEEE
Sushant nashe karke mara hai....logo ko pata nahi kya chahiye....uske sab dost sabne bata diya ki he was heartbroken n something n phir wo nashe karne laga...jo hua wo bura hua magar agar nashe karke koi suicide karle to baki film industry kaise buri ho gayi
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
Completely agree with you.
Beautiful interviewers and the guest. They let her speak what ever she wanted to say to their questions. Thoroughly enjoyed
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.

Divya Bharti ke bare main bhi kuch bolna chahiye tha.
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❤❤❤
Inki awaz bohot nice hai
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!
Such a well spoken and elegant lady so delightful to listen to her and her very interesting stories .
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Both the young interviewers are so calm and well behaved
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
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.
Please do an interview of someone who knew Parveen babi very well and also an interview of someone who knew Devyani Chaubal very well.
I agree with you
I have fallen in love with this lady 😍❤️🙏🙏🙏🎊She should have been my elder sister , aunt or a very very close friend 😢😢😢
Don't compare her to the foul mouth undignified crass jaya bachan
An honest journalist … Thoroughly enjoyed the interview .
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! 🙏😇❤️
One of the best interviews so far, this lady is full of elegance, simplicity and gorgeousness
Yes. I truly enjoyed d intv fully. Both sides was xcellant.
Absolutely Big B is not as Big as he we think
Vinod Khanna has already told in many occasions why he left Bollywood. There are his many interviews available in RUclips.

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
The interviewer should know that emergency in India did not happen in 1972.
Stardom thing of past now. Public is evolving mentally. 👍
Vinod Khanna and Dharmji were the most handsome and down to earth people of Indian Cinema earlier with Firoz Khan ❤❤❤
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???

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very correct Ma'am ,todays young journalists or in other fields also ,they have attitude without any reason .
During our times she was the best journalist I use to read all her interviews
Being a complete movie buff, it’s such a pleasure listening to her always.
An interview that ended abruptly...😅
I think she is a big fam of Amitabh Bachchan 😊
Why nothing was asked about Madhuri and Juhi?
this seemed like a 'real' interview mainly because Bhawana Somaaya was talking in an genuine way - there was no artifice in her answers.
Vinod Khanna was a legend just as AB.....He was no less in n any way ....rather better in many ways
Vinod Khanna was a much better actor.
The interviewers were too raw n subservient..did not get the best out of Bhavana
Vinod khana was the best very talented she is being biast
Whoever is putting such negative comments and saying she is lying etc. ... She was honoured with Padma Shri few years back. Show some respect...
So? Padma shree won’t get you respect, you earn it & public isn’t fool
Thanks for removing the negative comment
😂😂😂😂 like Jaya bacchan, jarur best friend hogi dono,jese Amitabh ke baat kar rahe hai,lag raha hai,Jaya ke best friend hogi 😂😂😂
This interview girl intrepted Bhavna..initially how she started to work as journalist..
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!

I think you should tell about his rudeness.
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.
Tinu Anand be bhi Amitabh Bachchan ke ghamand ,rudeness ki baat ki hai .@@nikahatkagdi8746
इंटरव्यू लेने वाले बेचारे डरे हुए हुए बैठे हैं😅😅😅😅😅
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😊
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.
Vo kehte hai na chadhte suraj ko sab salaam karte he😊
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?

Every one knew ,She is one type of fan for Big B
Amazing interview.....loved the conversation ❤
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
I have read her translated book Krishnayaan originally written in gujarati by kajal Ozha
What a piece
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
Both the interviewers n tge guest a class by thenselves.Kudos to all three ❤
Simple n elegant lady ,, ❤❤❤
Wonderful conversation, such rich research and experience 🎉
Thanks for listening!
She is arrogant like jaya bachchan of journalism
Excellent interview ,,,
Such boring and inexplicably bored interviewers! They could've made it into a much more engaging interview. Kudos to Ms.Somaya for being patient and tolerant!
Masoom & Aaj ka MLA were released much before ' Main Azad Hoon'.
excellent podcast..keep rocking
My Salman ❤❤
Very genuine n nice talking ❤
Why did you cut through the narration about how she took up the journalist job. You shouldn't have?
Beautiful conversation.
मॅडम सबके good book में रहना चाहती है , तभी तो एक arrogant और mannerless औरत की भी सराहना कर रही है !
🙏🏻Jai Jalaram, Bhavnaben.
Very nice, sensible interviewing
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 .
Lets Rock Jayaaaaaa🤩🤩
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 🙏🙏💕
How did the family finally agree to her becoming a journalist?
Yes they edited the most interesting part
She resembles Jaya bachan with looks
She is contemporary of Devyani Chaubal, the firebrand gossip columnist of 70s.
A bit junior to devyani chaubal
Is ìt not true that Mahesh Bhatt pursuded Vinod Khanna toward Rajneesh
AB was afraid that Vinod Khanna will be better so he convinced Mahesh Bhat to
Hmmm... hmmmm... acha...acha....hmmm....hmmmm.....hmmmm.....hhmmmm...... acha.....hmmm....acha...hmm....hmmmmm.......hhmmmm.....acha.....Hmmm... hmmmm... acha...acha....hmmm....hmmmm.....hmmmm.....hhmmmm...... acha.....hmmm....acha...hmm....hmmmmm.......hhmmmm.....acha
Here you go, I am an interviewer now.
😄😁😂🤣
Bilkul bhi😂😂😂
She’s ok but I’ve noticed she goes onto celebs instas & makes personal/insensitive comments like it’s totally normal
Very well spoken
31:41 I didn't get what she's saying about eve teasing. Is she saying it's the girl 's fault?
36.25 lots of plastic surgeries and dermatology help
Interesting talk.
It's 8 years, not 18 yrs, it's from 1984 to 1992
.....even then she'd forcely & clearly referred अठरा साल (18 years) three times 😂😅😂😅
Yet I love this graceful lady ❤😊❤
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
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 😅
@ 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 ..
He never speaks ill of anyone. You should too learn that quality.
I don’t like Amitab Bachhan - meanest person in Bollywood, so am not interested in hearing about him.
Who cares 🙄
Really mean
Hosts are not competent enough. Waste of opportunity. And guest is biased towards Amitabh Bachchan
She’s in love with him
@@fatiha4683,no,she was in love with Shashi Kapoor.
ये एक बडीही विदंबना है की सवाल हिंदी में ओर हिंदी फिल्म के बारेमे पूछे जा रहे हैं लेकीन भावना जी उन्का इंग्लिश का ज्ञान दिखा रही हैं.
Im curious to know why she took the journalist job eventually despite her mother refusing. The interviewer just cut her off from that.
Salman khan got aggressive after 2000
INTERESTING
Bahut badhiya
She talks too high of all actors and actresses
chamchi
Wonderful interview
Very nice interview. She is so beautiful and intelligent.
@ 8:32, interrupted by the girl before Bhavna can finish her story about how she got into this job !!! Today's girls !!! No patience. Sorry to say this.
Aacha bolti hen anty !Magar Thodi thodi der me pata nhi kyo inkee batton me magroriyat jhalak rahe hai!
She’s rich famous brushed shoulders with the Bollywood
Why interviewers are so meek and unnecessarily soft spoken?
They are interviewing her and as required they are listening to her so we can listen too . I think they are well behaved and excellent interviewers , they are not interrupting her , letting her speak and it is such a pleasure to hear this podcast . Why would you want them to be loud and aggressive . Is being soft spoken a fault ? Wondering
To be decent...that is basic manners, I believe.
Decent my foot. Journalism aata nahi
Actually enko lagta hai ke ye duniya ke bhuat hi world changing matter per baat ker rhe hai or ye Iyinstine ka interview ker rehe hai.
@@MeenuBadhan-vg7kq 🤪
Very nice 🎉
Glad you liked it!
pro she was talking about is gopal pandey !
Sir chapter by chapter kr dijiye video
80 ki hi Madhuri Dixit bhi hii mam
no mention of aishwarya? nice.. thanks! will pass..
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.
Emergency 1972 main yeh kab huaa
MAM JI AAJ KI BOLYWEED KI BAT BAHOT ALAG HAI SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT KITNA TALENTED MHANTI SALASH LADKA THAA FIR BHI BULIWEEDIAN USE KACCHA KA KACCHA KHA GAYEEEEEEEEE
Such a lacklustre interview because of pace and content.....
Only Amitabh......and no one else...
Sushant nashe karke mara hai....logo ko pata nahi kya chahiye....uske sab dost sabne bata diya ki he was heartbroken n something n phir wo nashe karne laga...jo hua wo bura hua magar agar nashe karke koi suicide karle to baki film industry kaise buri ho gayi
Was awaiting for so long to get the podcast intresting . Sorry mam . Good work done by you . But I could not connect
I’m glad you enjoyed the podcast. 😊
Absolutely a lovely interview ..totally enjoyed it❤❤
Thanks for watching!
