Mahua Moitra on leaving banking to join politics | Karishma Mehta | Ep 7 | HOB
EPISODE SEVEN IS OUT!
“When God was distributing fear, you probably never made it to the line.” - This is something our next guest, Ms. Mahua Moitra, repeatedly got to hear. She’s firm, she’s fiery and she’s fearless. She’s someone who doesn’t mince her words - neither in person nor during Lok Sabha sessions!
From leaving a lucrative job in the states to joining politics - Mahua Moitra is a dynamic, self-made woman who vehemently refuses to take no for an answer.
And she’s just so candid- she opened up about the qualities she admires in the opposition party and in a heartwarming confession, told us about her celebrity crush! We assure you, there’s no way you would’ve guessed this one!
The unfiltered demeanor she is known for carrying to Lok Sabha sessions, accompanied her here, to this interview.
And so, over unabashed and honest conversations, we managed to ask Ms. Mahua Moitra - How The Hell Do You Do It?

“How The Hell Did I Do It?” is a Humans of Bombay Original - a talk show where we speak with the dreamers, the pioneers, the go-getters and the never-say-no’ers from all walks of life. We discuss their journeys - the highs, the lows and everything in between. And through our candid conversations, we try to decode the human behind the name, and get pretty close to figuring out - How The Hell Did They Do It?

Why are you praising this episode yourself? You are the host. And the channel even pinned this comment which is hilarious. Shouldn't the audience be the one judging the quality of the episode? Hire a professional interviewer already.

Thank you for interviewing Honorable Srimati Mahua Moitra Ji. She is a real Indian patriot and a true leader. She is inspiring, visionary, and a dedicated patriot. Love to see her as the Prime Minister of India/Bharat. May God bless her and keep her safe.
Beauty +brain+knowledge +attitude i think mahua moitra is perfect lady
All eyes and ears only on the lady MP Mahua Moitra such a sharp, dynamic , intelligent , confident, beauty, such a commanding presence, soo inspiring almost life-changing , so much leadership, love to see her as PM

It's not acceptable in our sexist world , where women are expected to be doormats!
The most intelligent & witty woman mp of our parliament 💎 there's nobody close to her ! She's the best at exposing the lies & corruption of the Bjp.
You are amazing mahua.... Your stern stand against far right wing is appreciable.... We are back to you dear.
As much as I love Mahua, I must say the interviewer was extremely polite and such a pleasure to listen to. She handled the entire conversation so well. Hats off to both the wonderful ladies.
A leader with an extraordinary political intelligence
Awesome line from Mahua ma'am : " Politics is not about Money or Muscle but it's about 3Ms : Myth (who you are), Method (how you work) and Magic (how you connect to people) "
I always love to see interviews of mohua moitra, I like her boldness and confidence
Lady M of our polity, if i am correct to say, a person with awesome qualities. I am seventy two and at times i find it difficult to follow her as she speaks with such great speed. Ms Moitra's way of clarity in thinking and expressimg herself is really awesome. It is to be seen if people of Krishnanagar really come up to the standard adequately to the modernity of Ms Mohua. ng
It is my honour to see legendary politician who is sensitive compassionate intelligent courageous and a Superwoman speaking. I really admire you being a bong. Lots of respect and love from me dii. Make our nation and my state proud.
Mahua is the best of the best. She can become PM of India :)
I just love her persona
If our indians politicians have like honorable mam Mahua our country become standstill A1, thanks mom, actually your look like actress very gorgeous acting and behaviour. As well as speech. I love and i vote,, have a nice life time you are real leader,, ##your leadership never end 🙏🙏🙏🖐🖐🖐🖐
A very outspoken lady with a clear thought and knows what she is saying.
She's the best! Eloquent in her speech, so well mannered and unabashed. She's the answer to "Why education is so important?". Need more people like her in the parliament.
Beautiful interview. Mahua Moitra as usual is honest , frank and fearless in her interaction. Her style of conversation clearly exhibits her pretty strong self-confidence and awfully deep commitment level. Kudos to her.

Mahua, you voice so many of our concerns. Can't wait to see you head the Central Government. Thanks for your voice.
The interview focussed on her profession. No information which we don't know has come out. I wanted to know more abou her, like her thoughts on marriage, religion, spirituality,her reading choices etc.. like she talked about realising the importance of having a sibling, a family. I felt you could have asked her about her family, her spouse, children. Next, more importantly,the timeline ,the year she came to India and her journey over the years, how she reached where she is today. And , during her difficult times, what kept her going ?
She's wearing a beautiful Dhakai saaree as a symbol of Bengal tradition😊❤

She feels when she speaks, a type of politician indian needs for sure . I hope she navigates the jealousy around and takes up a responsibility one day to serve the people of india .
Long before the bullet train was envisaged, there is already one already off assembly lines and running. Runs on truth and courage of conviction, deaf to shreiking trolls and no time to waste, refusing to be stopped by false alarms, whizzing past ferociously to its chosen destination.None other quite like this.Train name: Mahua Moitra Incomparable. Just incomparable!
THE BEST INTERVIEW OF A POLITICIAN.... I EVER SEE......

Words of wisdom..... Absolutely NO hypocrisy.... upright and brutally frank.... Every good human being with some common sense would love Mahua Moitra.... I just wish she becomes the Prime Minister of India.
Amazing she is!!!

India is definitely not ready for this brand of candid politics where an MP calls herself a b.tch There’s a line in the show Succession where that Democrat chap describes Logan as ‘not a person but a planet with his own gravity’. That is how I feel about Mahua but I am also a bit confused because I find her quite hot but she kinda scares me as well. Makes me a fanboy I guess.
I came in comment section to see negative comments but fortunately here I saw sensible people beyond political ideologies. That's how intellectual conversations should be . Wanna see more women politicians from different political parties and also people from different walks of life
God bless your news
Autobiography for Mam Mahua is to early for now because a lot of important chapter for that is on the way.......
