By far one of my favourite episodes. It had a poetic feel to it and this entire 3 video series was perhaps one of the best interviews I've seen. Simi was perhaps better than Oprah but I feel a major part of India wasn't ready for such in depth conversations in that era but I strongly feel that India will reach a point in the next decade when such style of interviews and shows will get the greatest amount of respect and viewership. The sleazy and cheap talk shows will soon be a thing of the past after the younger generation will hit a road block when they become over saturated with rubbish apps and when it dawns upon them that the real pinnacle of conversation or content was already here. It is only then that we will see quality content like this again.

well said! TIK TOK style trash and instagram nonsense reels hopefully will have an expiry date. Am so shocked at the assault on onese senses of the mindless trash that is churned out these days. Simi is like a gentle breeze - refined, elegant, understated,.. amazing to watch her evolved conversation skills

Abhishek is such a humble and down to earth son. You can hardly see such genuineness in star kids. He had tears in his eyes while his parents were talking.

I have watched nearly all the episodes of this show during lock down.. The only Indian talk show where these stars have come out and spoke their heart out.. Because the way Simmi ji conducts interviews and makes her guests so comfortable.. We want this show back!!! We want Simmi ji to come back with such a show again as most of the talk shows now a days are more of a timepass than something from which a lesson can be learnt!

Abhishek got tears with dad's words. I feel same for myself . My dad is no more i badly miss him

I watched the three parts of this interview and it was beautiful. The family shows so much grace and humility. The last few minutes when he describes how he feels about his wife and his children is so heartfelt and lovingly respectful. Thank you for sharing.

You are sensitive and intelligent , so graceful and careful with your words . I loved to see how in the 3 rd video there was so much maturity and gratitude in Amitabh Bachman’s statements . Absolutely lovely to see and hear Sweta and Abhishek speak so fondly of each member of the family . God bless you and the Bachan family !!! Thank you so much for these lovely interviews Simi .

Soulful interviewer Simi. She knows how to trigger the emotions and tackle them very well in soulful manner. Love from fan of Nepal #Simi

Very emotional. I wonder how hard it must have felt for all four of them, to not cry during this interview. Such a well knit family. And the best part is, the foundation (Jaya Bachchan) is super strong and has ensured that the rest of them (including Amitabh) are well grounded. A lot of credit must go to her for the way this family has come up.

Jaya bachan is real family strength of bachans, i can give this verdict post watching this interview zillions time

This is the warmest, most human interview i've seen in ages. Hard to believe it's more than a decade ago, and I'm so delighted Amit-ji is still going strong in his seventies now. Real legend.

Such elegance and simplicity. I still remember, waiting for the whole week to tune into Star World and watch your latest episode. This episode in particular is awesome, The Bachhans were as stylish and graceful as you.

I have just started watching this show, I had always heard about it but guess was too young to pay attention and understand the maturity of the show. Hands down one of the best interviews ever. The way Simiji interviews, her elegance, her words and most important the emotions in her eyes, as if so curious to know the human being sitting right next to her. Hats off Mam. I may be not be the first to say this, that we would really like a comeback. This rendezvous is so pure, so human. It is glamorous ofcourse but not showing off. Interviews like these are classic examples for the future interviewers.

The moment was so cute when Simi ji was telling about Jayaa ji that how the previous day Jayaa ji was so eager to have a lunch with her husband Amitabh Bachchan sir ..

I feel the honesty and innocence you see in every star/actor during these interview is amazing.. You no longer see it in today's interview..

Such a lovely interview Simiji, This is the best interview ever. No one can ever match you, so elegant, so full of dignity.. Every word coming from you is so beautiful. Amitji,we Love you and your family. May God bless your family. The last part was very emotional and the way you described your family was soul touching...

Jaya is a beautiful actress because I respect her. My grandmother says that we would see the movies of those superstars.

what a beautiful interview Simi ji...your english is impeccable and soft voice is soothing! Amitabh ji , Jya ji and their children are blessing to the Indian film industry and so proud of you for doing this. I saw Amitab ji 15 years ago in Mumbai airport but afraid to say hello! I live in houston since 1974. I was born in 1948 and saw many films of their family but this interview brought me tears , as this is what Bharat is!,

I saw all the four rendezvous available on KZread at one go. I am really astonished to see that it's all centred around Mr. Senior Bachchan. No question about Jayaji's growth from the daughter of her parents to the great lady that she is now.

I believe Karan Johar is over rated.. And above it, has no depth in interviews. This is real emotion, no fake questions or expressions.. Yet simmiji is classy and great has interview skills. Hatsoff..

What a show and what great quality! That tribute from Simi to Mr. Bachchan stole the show. Anyone would get easily intimidated by Mr. Bachchan's serious composure but Simi is quite clearly the boss here - the perfect anchor. I must admit people need to learn the art of conversation and the art of interviewing from Simi. It wouldn't be a misnomer if I called Simi the Hrishikesh Mukherjee of chat shows.

What a wonderful show! Simi has a great knack of gently coaxing the inner thoughts and feelings of the celebrities..this episode is simply great!

I've been watching Randezvous for years now, love the show, and miss those kinds of shows today. The story on Bachchan family is of historical significance, considering their importance in India, and nobody has done it in such way like Simi Garewal. For me, it gave me an insight into that part of India, which I so love and appreciate.

Love this interview with the Bachchan family. It really opened my eyes to the trials and tribulations they went through over the years. What a lovely family. God bless them all.

Really thankful to you Ma'am..it felt like the Bachchan family is no different from ours..deep rooted in their culture and traditions..instance where Abhisek narrated that he went to Delhi to gave his sister, instantly I remembered my sister's wedding where I did the same..there I felt the Bachchan family though being affluent,still carry on the customs..the Family make us feel that they are no different from us whatever materialistic conditions could be..thank you once again Ma'am

I never saw this show before but recently I started watching this Nd m just addicted to this show .. the way Simi ji makes her guests comfortable Nd talks to them .. commendable .. this show is classic

Enjoyed all 3 parts. Could have asked more from Jaya ji .. she was also a successful actress.. she seemed more alone and her husband(Amit ji) does not seem to reciprocate the same to her. The sessions were very deep n touching. this family stay bound to each other and holding each other strongly .All credits to Jaya ji. Wonderful Job Simi ji.👏🏻👏🏻

Now this is what you call an ideal family..& about mr. bachchan..no words to describe him..he is just awesome..one needs to learn so much from him..especially today's men..thank you for this heart touching & most realistic interview simi ji..more love & power to you

Wonderful interview! As years are passing by, i realise what a loss it is not having more interviews like that with this family.

Worth to see the Bachchan anytime . We want your shows to again make a comeback...

Enjoyed watching all 3 parts of the interview .. Just remarkable... so much love and respect for the entire family God Bless always

I love Amitabh Bachchan since I was a kid and I have totally enjoyed all the 3 parts of this interview, I am so glad I came across this channel and its just amazing

Aww what a wonderful interview. God Bless you Mr. Bachchan.

Thank you, for unwrapping such a beautiful present for the world to see! THANK YOU!!!

wow this was by far the only full episode I watched and the best, I was born in 1990 and my parents would tell me how great simi garewal was, I was 8 then. I am 28 now. Thank you Madam for you love. You are ageless, And I would ask you out on a date if I were born in the 40s with you :) Have a Great life ahead until Jesus returns. Love from San Jose California.

the best interview ever... i loved the way abhishek spoke abt parents being correct, amit sir speaking abt companionship, shweta speaking abt the way she looks up to her parents and jaya ji abt abhishek( he is my son, he came out of me) ... awesome :) :) it made me cry... i learnt a lot...! god bless all present over there..

Such grace and dignity - This was delightful - beautiful family-

Such a beautiful interview. It was really good to see such a close knit family in the film fraternity who are also so open with their emotions. Thanks so much Simi!!

Need one say anything about Amitabh as a son, actor, dad & husband? A very good man! Awesome Dad to Absolute! AND one honorable and upstanding son! Not to minimize Daughter and Wife. We humans have weaknesses and our share of troubles. You embody humility and responsibility. Best Wishes!

Just want to say Amitabh Bachchan ji your are a legend, a great human being... Love you... I'm one of your biggest biggest biggest fan....every time i watch you crying in movies during an emotional scene... I'm also cries... I can't stop my tears... Such an wonderful interview...

Abhishek is so underrated he is actually a very good actor and comedian 👍👍

What a beautiful set of episodes with the Bachchan family. Thank you Simi, there must be so many other different interviews, but having them all together capturing the chemistry and sharing the space all together is just so breathtakingly beautiful and educating in so many ways. The emotions are real, the self effacing so natural and you weave it all so well with such grace. Would love to have one now with the further extended family where you could rewind to this one and the one in 1998.Best

And simi Ji You please come back with your interviews.This is me, 4th or 5th time watching your rendezvous.Such sensitivity!
