I was a kid when Vijay Kumar first hit the fame. Little did I know about the content of interviews he conducted most of which were political. But I remember my family members praising the guy for asking tough questions or asking questions toughly to political leaders. And later on growing up I watched several of this other interviews and his program “Deesha Nirdesh”. My observation about him is, he showed some arrogance and toughness in his tone, not necessarily in the content of questions asked in interviews he conducted. This could have very well been a contribution of his personal attribute. And this was appealing to the then Nepalese audience. Nepalese audience overnight became fan of him just like a seventh grader becomes obsessed with a tough or popular guy in his class. Besides, television was fairly new in Nepal when he started his career and there were not that many journalists or journalists with contacts in Nepalese media. As a result he never had to develop professionalism, diplomacy, respect towards people he interviewed.
