Excellent!! A delightful conversation. So happy to hear a 76 year old woman with so much spunk and charm!!

Athlete, author, columnist, model - icon at 76 and still young! Superb De!

Two fiery women, both strong and decisive, super amazing interview.😊

Excellent conversation which brought back memories of my teens ... Stardust was a rarity and sought after whenever we could find it ... Neta 's Natter , Devayani Chaubal all came back to me ! Shobha Rajadhyaksh as she was known ..a Marathi mulgi who became a sought after model ... Maybe one of the first Maharashtrian face in glamour industry.

Have always and always loved Shobha. She has grace, intelligence, glamour, style, skill, talent, language and ocean's worth of uniqueness. Gosh! Love her. She is so real and kind and amazing, cultured and impressive. Had the pleasure of meeting her at one of the literature festivals from my journalism days. It was lovely.

76 she is beautiful 😍

What an amazing conversation…thanks for making it happen!..

This and Shashi Tharoor, were your 2 best podcasts/ interviews. The one with Shashi showed how enamoured / charmed you were with him. He just kept on talking without a pause. You capture the core of the interviewee. Thank you

she is a fearless writer.No one can match her writing style. Reading her books and articles is always a pleasure.

She is 76. I can't believe!

Its always a treat to watch this beautiful ,charming, eloquent & fearless Lady. Keep the spirit up Young Lady Anuradha

Shobha De is unique...a woman of conviction and courage.....nothing fake or hypocritical....

Hi Barkha, I've seen other interviews with Shobhaa, and I think yours stands apart. She was so much more emotional and authentic given the rapport you have with her. I really enjoyed it, thanks for making this happen.

Excellent to hear Shoba as we share the same time period being a 46 born. Things like radio Ceylon,athletics, Anglasized, Elvis fan Etc etc

Even Shoba's gossip oozes class. She confirmed what I had always doubted about airport looks and travel. My two favorite ladies together.

What a wonderful conversation! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Shobha de and Barkha dutt, so engaging, unbeatable.

A Fantastic interview! I didn't take my eyes & ears away for a moment! Ms. Anuradha Rajadhyaksha De is a true Icon!

I loved the interview.Blunt & truly spoken

Enough is enough. Her hiss during Mumbai 26/11 attack interview on NDTV quite resonated.

........ 76 !

At 76 very energetic !!!

Bharka is so amused at certain points! So cute ❤❤

A welcome change from all the political debates and interviews. I am so delighted to see the growth of Mojo Story channel. I used to sit among the audience when you were part of NDTV and host Reality Bites and We The People.

At least someone said elites have been replaced. It's actually the rising middle class, nouveau riche and in some sense it's great to see non English speaking rich in the country. They are comfortable in their own skin, but one really hopes the basic ethics and courtesies of society will prevail.

actually, who had colorful life out of this generation was Protima bedi a real free spirit who streaked naked on beach how cool:), I was very not sad but taken aback when she got buried under avalanche up in Himalayas.. and name 'Sandokaan' reminds me of 'sandookh' good ole punjabi Baksa:)

Wow I was desperately looking for her Thank-you Barkha

Such an interesting, beautiful and confident woman. loved the podcast.

First time I saw Shobha De getting emotional while talking about her father ...

She was an influencer in us growing up in the 60's and 70's...

Barkha Dutt , thank you so much for this wonderful no holds barred interview with Shobha De ,a remarkable ,beautiful woman speaking about her journey 🌷🌷🌷

On a Wada pav story, She actually met the Sena leader and had the Wada pav apparently 50:13. The exchange in Marathi is more funny. Unlikely that Sena people will beat a Marathi speaking lady in public.

Beautiful interview !!

By a mild spilling of the beans, Shobhaa has very likely quadrupled the length of that line waiting to get into Bastian ☺️ what a woman!! Liked the tarun tejpal story too 🤔🙂 come to think of it, that was a wonderful interview!

A refreshing Dialogue. Enjoyed it!!

Very nice show, Ms De is candid n witty

Incredible Interview Barkha! Amazing Shoba de. Loved the emotion she showed when talking about her father.

Excellent conversation 👌

Delightful interview. Enjoyed every minute of it. Anuradha @76 is as interesting as Shobhaa @40

Enjoyed listening to the podcast

This is probably the 4th time I watched this :) call me crazy but I love this conversation. Shobha De is such a delight to listen to and well done Barkha for such an amazing free flowing conversation. Loved loved & loved it.

I really admire Shona di for her unconventionsl approach and daredevil attitude to her writings. PlL KEEP WRITING AND WE REALLY LOVE YOU, And YOUR WRITINGS, SHOBHA DI Your BEST WORK is still to Come, Shobha di

What a delightful interview! A woman of substance indeed!

What a wonderful interview Shobha ji or rather Anuradha such a great character...thank you so much for the courage integrity n affection which comes through your interview...Blessings to you n your Family❤

A delightful conversation. Shobhaa De certainly doesn't pull any punches and comes across as rather astutely observant of the world around her.

Excellent conversation.

She and urmila Matondkar have very similar voices and gestures! She can play her in a biopic.

Yes. I love Urmilas voice.

Fantastic interview Barkha I am a huge fan of both of you !!

What an inspiration.. always loved her 🫡.. respect

If you've read Shobha De's columns, ever... you'll want to listen to this interview.

Very very refreshing conversation.

Barkha Dutt 🎉new look❤

Was a great fan of your write ups Mam, especially starburst

What an interview. Both are so inspirational. Shobha De is a stunner even now.

👏👏👏👏 following you.... speaking my mind too.... whatever happens!!

Kudos 🎉 fabulous conversation between two charming, bold and intelligent women . ❤❤

was in college when I used read on her articles and hated her I am also in 70's . she looks the same as may be in her 20 's. look lovely Shoba , take care .

I have read many of her books but stopped reading the later ones. She was the female version of Kushwant Singh whose later books were nothing but pulp fiction. Frankly speaking her books border on the thrashy side rather than enlightening ones, with loads of unnecessary sexism and feminism thrown in, and they were extensions of her columns which offered nothing new. What pains me is the fact that she is much more capable of writing better books than what she has dished out to date. I am still waiting for one book that would immortalize her along with better writers of India.

Barkha always been your huge fan.

Superb interview 👍

Hv always been fascinated by Shobha De… still am

After a long time, an interview which was heart felt, intelligent, interesting & full of sass.

Superb interview. What a fascinating and smart woman. I'll definitely get this book.

Also, to go to Supreme Court and win that round against Maharashtrians Shiv sainaks to react to something so trivial is great, Ms. De.

Excellent interview. I love Shobha.❤❤❤

It's really nice to listen to such knowledgeable people not so left

Awesome interview

omg excellent interview .

Totally loved it❤ Shobha De is phenomenal

Yes we are bhakts/and'hbhakts and we are proud of that. Being bhakts/and'hbhakts sound so cool and proud. It is billions times better then being chamchas, sickulars,librandus, andhnamazi madraschap which sound so uncool this day and age not only in india but in whole world..modi, and bjp has given us something that no one can gave us last time it was chatrapati shivaji maharaj. But for 500 years we were missing this greatness. we are bhakts/and'hbhakts and we are proud of that. We own Bharat, we own the streets,we own day ,we own night and we own you.

Shobha De has been like a soul sister....grew up reading her posts in the papers, right thro Rajyadaksha and De surnames....she helped me navigate my rebellious teen angst and gave me a sense of identity and the knowledge that I was right in my assertive attitude

Wonderfully interesting interview 🎉

Absolutely right. A bold lady so much similarity

Lovely interview❤

man I've been reading reading her op-eds, since i was 7. i am 25 now

Simply wow.. Fantastic. I can hear it 1000 times💖

Awesome! 🎉

The irony….the same woman who complains how women put each other down,is singing praises of Miss Godrej and her “generosity “. The same woman who I read stood by and did nothing when Sanjay Khan was beating Zeenat Aman to a pulp!

Lovely to watch ms Shobha De,speaking her mind,you have inspired many women ma'am,stay fit with your wit & humour,God bless❤

its strange she never could write anything else much...except that one..the one which brought recognition, to break that ceiling

She speaks well, but at the end of the day, she is a socialite who wrote indifferent novels that catered to a section of the society. They were nothing to write home about. Moreover, she did write catty things about others, and if people did the same with her work, she shouldn't take exceptions. In the name of being honest, she has written and said horrible things about others. You can do that, but then don't expect people to be kind to you or your work.

I love her but I have to agree with you. She tried to pull a Jean Rivers.

I have a couple of years on her, happy to see her thriving and living her life as she wants. Great role model for young and old Indian women 👏🏼❤️

Loved it! What a badass woman !

Great interview - But I was distracted by Shobha's great Hair❤

Only one word for ma'am is Grace.

Wish it remained untold

She should continue to write. Men like it.

Shobha De the ever charming nd deeply interesting still carries the Indian ethos nd Indian way of life.

Mojo story should be declared another godi media

3:20 Tarun Tejpal said: 'Her looks sell her books'. This is a fact. This is not sexist. And it is a compliment. And she called him a spiteful swine for that? Is there any book she is remembered for? 4:42 She says Tarun is a TERRIFIC writer. But in the same breath she also says she reviewed his book with a one liner 'too sad his looks won't sell his books'. This is an ad hominem attack. And at 6:50 she is whining about someone 'attacking her personally' while reviewing her work. There are numerous moments in this 1 hour interview where she has contradicted herself. Imagine what level of a hypocrite Shobaa De is her everyday life.

India's Jackie Collins!

What a lovely weekend watch

I remember the b/w ad for TajMahal tea that featured Shobha De sitting demurely in front of the monument. Looked like she was seated on the famous love seat. I recall this because it was the first thing I saw in the historical perspective on the brand when I started out in advertising , working on brookebond. She’s an institution. They don’t make them like her anymore. The lot now are crass, poor intellect and no real sass n verve. Gimme Shobha any day over all of them !

Big fan of shoba and neetas natter!

Great
