Simi Garewal

Like
the woman in red, Simi Garewal is the woman in
white - the epitome of elegance and style. A celebrity
of sorts herself, she has interviewed some of
the most camera shy personalities on stage and
got away with it. She managed to evoke response
from media shy Ratan Tata, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan,
Kumaramangalam Birla and wife Nirja, and even
close-mouthed Hema Malini who spoke about Dharmendra,
her relationship and daughters on Rendezvous with
Simi Garewal.
Young
Simi offered fleeting glimpses of herself in films
like Mera Naam Joker, Chalte Chalte and Siddharth.
Then there was Rukhsat with Mithun Chakraborthy
and Anuradha Patel, her directorial debut and
a few documentaries. She came into the limelight
with an exclusive documentation of late Rajiv
Gandhi, who she captured on film over a period
of five years. Few such celebrity hosts possess
oomph, poise and charisma.
