About Bijaya kumar Panday
साथी हो मैले सुने को पत्रकार बिजय कुमार ले अमिता बचन संग अन्तरबार्ता लिय पछि बिजय जी को ईमेज Down Vayoo रे | I just wanna know what was the question he asked to Amita Bachan, and what was the answer he got from Bachan.? If anyone knows, please share ..............................
Actually, Bijay Kumar asked Amitabh, " What is a glamour?".
he took interview using hindi language, afaik
Vijay Kumar repeatedly asked about the relationship with Rekha even after Amitabh refused to answer. Finally Amitabh got angry and he answered some question ironically saying that he is not even skilled to interview......This is what I heard from my seniors.
no, that's not true IT_GUY. Bijay Kumar first asked him about glamour hindi movie industry and 2nd was how many times Amitabh visited Nepal. Then on 2nd answer, Amitabh replied as when he came first time Nepal you were not even born.
lol , ppl still remembered that interview. i was searching in youtube but couldnt find
could anyone post the video or the link, just curiuous.
who is this , home minisiter?
I also heard different answers from different people. Some of my friends told me Bijaya kumar asked Amita Bachan about his involvement in corruption. some told Bijaya kumar asked about rekha. some told bijaya panday did not have good english at that time and he took interview in Hindi.
Today one of my friends told me bajay kumar asked "is this your first time in Nepal"
and Bachan Answer was "हो सैकता हे कि तुम उस बक्त आफनी मा के गॊद मे लपट र हे थे |
I heard that most of the viewer ripped off Vijay Kumar for asking question in English while Amitabh himself was asnwering in Hindi. Those days, a Nepali host speaking in English woiuld have sounded like one trying to be a smartass. I dont remember the exact timing, might be two years agoo I happened to read an article/blog/facebook whatever it is, Vijya Kumar clarified whole fiasco. According to him, showing question asked in Hindi in Nepalese National Television would have hurt Nepalese sentiments. He actually conducted whole interview in Hiindi but for the sake of Nepalese pride or whatever it is, they simply edited the questions asked in Hindi and reshoot those questions in English back in the studio.
It was long time ago before the era of internet and you tube. Amitabh Bacchan was even bigger superstar in Bollywood. In Nepal we had only one channel which aired for few hours a day. Newreaders had to wear National dress and one could not conduct interviews in Hindi. It was a big deal to get an interview from AB.
Bijay Kumar asked questions in English for the reason mentioned above and Amitabh Bacchan answered in Hindi ( I think reason given was that more people would understand). I can.t remeber name of the movie but it was interview taken in Jhomson not KTM where the movie was being shot. AB was asked about Rekha but he was polite with his answers.
I think nothing much actually happened that is whay there is confusion as to what happened. Ofcourse AB was a superstar and you could see that in that interview but it was perhaps wrong to compare his personality with that of a promising journalist which some people did to belittle our journalist which I think was unfair.
I can't remeber anything other than language issue in that interview and nothing worth talking about it after decades.
The movie is khudhagawa and amitcame in nepal and got interviewed in nepal by bijaya.
I dont know why guys or sajhaiets are bringing that issue
something looks fishy to me
may be someone wrote maro, mat chodho at the begining
now they want to read same thing as maro mat, chodo.
This was back in October of 1992 during the shooting of the movie Khudagawha in Jomsom. The initial shoot was in Afghanistan, but due to the volatile situation delevoping in Afghanistan during that time, Jomsom was selected to be the shooting spot depicting Afghanistan. Alongside Bachhan, there were other actors like Sridevi, Sonam, Kiran Kumar etc...forgot the entire list. Infact, Amitabh celebrated his B'day in Jomsom with a hand deliver cake via a RNAC flight from Kathmandu.
The interview was in a Jomsom hotel - the hotel still exists in Jomsom with a big billboard stating "The Hotel Amitabh Bachahn stayed". Anyways, among other things, the main question that set off Amitabh was something like "how do you control/manage yourself while doing a romance scene with actressess?"....Bijay Kumar Pandey was morelike having a 'coccky' attitude, if you will.
Then came a sharp pat from Amitabh with "what are you talking about......we are artists simply performing an act"...& further went on "how could you ask such an unprofessional question" etc. Dont know the exact contents though, was a long time back.
That initiated the downfall of Pandey. Hope he's recovered well now. That is the story!
' Initiated the down fall of Bijay Kumar' This is your story. That was in 1992 and we still talk about Bijay Kumar in 2012.
Amitabh Bacchan was polite throughout the interview. This is how I remember that interview and this is my story.
