As the anchor of the popular programme, Karan Thapar set new standards in television journalism. Many of his guests were reticent, reclusive people who were making a rare television appearance. But they felt so much at ease in the course of their conversations with Karan Thapar that they revealed intimate details about themselves that they had never before made public. This book is a collection of some of the most memorable moments from the television programme: Sitar maestro Ravi Shankar recounts how Nehru fell asleep at one of his recitals and how the audience did not clap at the end since they did not want to disturb the Prime Minister; Amitav Ghosh recalls sitting in a defence colony barsaati at the height of summer, a lungi wrapped around him, furiously typing out his first novel; Sachin Tendulkar talks about how he idolized John McEnroe and copied him, right down to the headband; Raghu Rai remembers chasing a baby donkey halfway across the village to take a photograph that would go on to appear in the London Times; and Shah Rukh Khan regales us with the pranks he played at School with a group of friends called the C Gang.".…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Sometime in the late summer of 1976, Sanjay Gandhi asked if I wanted to go flying with him. After first attempting to teach Karan Thapar to fly (not very successfully) Sanjay Gandhi took the controls and performed a series of aerobatics, not particularly dangerous but nonetheless thrilling.Once they were further away from Delhi, he became even more daring. Suddenly, he decided to scare the farmers working in the fields below by aiming the aircraft straight at them.As he dived down, they scattered and ran, fearing for their lives. At the last moment, Sanjay pulled up dramatically and waved at the bewildered farmers, clearly chuffed with the whole performance.The manoeuvre required nerves of steel and tremendous self-confidence, both of which Sanjay possessed in plenty. In Devil's Advocate, Karan dives deep into his life to come up with many such moments.Included here are stories of warm and lasting friendships, such as with Benazir Bhutto, whom he met while he was an undergraduate. He also talks about his long association with Aung San Suu Kyi and Rajiv Gandhi.However, not all friendships lasted--for example, with L. K.Advani, with whom he shared a close bond until an unfortunate disagreement over an interview caused a falling-out. The tension generated during an interview has spilled over off-screen multiple times, and Karan discusses these incidents in detail.For instance, when Amitabh Bachchan lost his cool during a post-interview lunch or when Kapil Dev cried like a baby. And there's the untold story of two of his most controversial interviews--with Jayalalithaa and Narendra Modi.While Jayalalithaa laughed it off later, the after-effects of Modi's infamous walkout have grown worse with time. Riveting and fast-paced, Devil's Advocate is as no-holds-barred as any of Karan Thapar's interviews.…
