Can You Take It Karan Thapar? (full interview)

The interviewer comes across as a lengthy questionnaire, albeit one with absolutely no space whatsoever for the respondent to fill in answers. She seems petty (at least on THIS interview) and one gets the feeling that she is out to seek some kind of personal revenge against Karan Thappar.

Yes, it is true that KT often plays bully on his show. But then, that IS what his show is about! For god sake, the name of his show is “Devil’s Advocate” which means “someone who, given a certain argument, takes a position he or she does not necessarily agree with, for the sake of argument.” He poses questions which the interviewee might face from someone who opposes his ideologies, but it does not mean that he endorses those views. The question she repeatedly asks about why he pleads with Mr. Jatmalani and Mr. Modi even as they are about to quit the interview has a very evident answer to any one with common sense: that he does it because he wants the show to go on.

Even though she claims that she is not petty and “have more class than that”, she continuously disproves herself throughout the show, playing the part of a spoilt kid to perfection. It seems, after all, that KT hit the nail on its head when he wondered whether she was out to get him with quite petty questions for some book review he had written about her book! She keeps saying that she would give him time to respond to her questions (most probably to trick him into silence) and then goes on to end the show with a series of questions!

In the end, it was an utter waste of time to watch an insecure lady flaunt her insecurity in front of the camera, just because she could do it. Utterly SUB-STANDARD interviewer with absolutely little class and a lot of inferiority complexes.

Off course the interview was screwed up by Mrs Trehan…I keep her in high regards, though, instead of trying to mimic KT she could have been her own and grilled him..She ended making mockery of herself…..But any guesses who that KT friend is being referred by Mrs Trehan…Iam pretty sure it is…Suhel Seth…I bet if anyone differ..:P

Seems obvious Madhu Hasn’t forgotten her book review. In trying to discredit Karan she has only discredited herself…..pathetic woman..

Karan is actually pretty short! LOL He looks so tall on CNN IBN.

CNN-IBN doesn’t show most comments posted against their agenda (anything anti the program or the host or the congress, they just let in one or 2 such comments to give an illusion of openness) No wonder Karan says he didn’t know about his writings perceived pro pak. But not publishing such comments is not the same as not reading or knowing about them. But then he cannot accept that he censors negative comments after reading them (they’ll just call it abusive comments!) so he naturally cannot accept that he knew such perceptions even existed of him. All part of keeping the narrative coherent.

I recently noticed that Madhu does read the comments on the site. So, My question to Madhu is : Do you regret this interview and your behavior? Could you have acted more maturely?

This has got to be THE worst interview I have ever had the misfortune to waste my time over. 18.41 mins of my life I’ll never get back. Madhu Trehan is totally odious.

………. And I think this interview was 1) A revenge for the book review by a friend as KT points out 2) A spoof of Karan with Karan done by MT which she always wanted to do. Bottomline :It was more fun than serious interview.

IT WAS GREAT FUN WATCHING MADHU TREHAN SHOWING THE MIRROR TO KARAN THAPAR,,THE FLAMBOYANT AND LOUD MOUTH JOURNALIST..
SHE IS THE GREATEST LEVELLER IN THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM.
IT WAS AMUSING TO SEE KARAN THAPAR-TOTALLY SPEECHLESS WITH A ‘CRY BABY FACE’.
A MUST WATCH INTERVIEW BY MADHU TREHAN.
MAY GOD BLESS HER !

Please pull Deepak Chaurasia in “Can you take it?”. He should learn a lesson.

Could have been better
Finally, the interview starts at 14:10 actually dissecting the questions !
Script it better next time Madhu

Awesome…

I liked Madhu always, but after a long time I liked Karan (except the book review thing). Also, the comrade-ry and mutual respect is stunning.
