Simi set to grill Jackie Chan on
'Rendezvous'
By Subhash K. Jha, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, July 22 (IANS) Simi Garewal is off to Hong Kong to
interview Jackie Chan for her popular talk show "Rendezvous With
Simi Garewal". It would be the Hong Kong
star's first such television appearance with an Indian host.
"But I have repeatedly gone and got international guests on
their home turf," said Simi who has conducted interviews abroad
with Rupert Murdoch, Imran Khan and most
recently steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal on her show.
Simi is looking forward to interviewing Jackie.
"He is extremely popular in India. Our endeavour on
'Rendezvous...' is to always bring on guests who are a popular
enigma in this part of the world.
"What's the point of talking to people who have come on every
channel and have said everything about themselves?
"For this season of 'Rendezvous' I have lined up Esha and her
sister Aahana Deol, Aishwarya Rai, Lara Dutta and of course
Jackie. Salman Khan will be my last guest this
season."
With a film directed by Revathy on
the anvil Simi is poised for a large-screen comeback. Her good
friend Anil Kapoor, who has been on "Rendezvous..." with his
wife for a
rare together tete-a-tete, has asked Simi to do a guest
appearance in his home-production "Welcome" directed by Anees
Bazmi.
"I'm thinking seriously about it. He is not just a dear friend
and also a very funny man. Anil has me in splits. I can't say no
to friends like Anil who aren't just interviewees for
me.
"Anil-Sunita, Suniel-Mana, Hrithik-Suzanne, Shah Rukh-Gauri
these are couples I have known closely for years. They came on
'Rendezvous...' because they trusted me."
Any couple that has been hard to get?
"Boney Kapoor and Sridevi," said Simi promptly.
"Boney has been promising to bring his wife on my show for
years. Maybe one of these days he'll actually keep his word." .
