I'm speechless! What a lady! This is called "True Journalist". The current era journalist can never match with this kind of courage, honesty, truth and outspokenness without yelling.. ❤ respect the woman who has understood India in the right sense.. From Underworld to Politics!
Why are we not celebrating legends like her more often? She seems like a woman of substance, achieved so much but still so grounded. I feel proud of her and also very inspired! Thank you Smita ji. Best wishes 😊
In my opinion she did her job without fear and did it honestly.. I stand by my comment. Being a journalist isn't easy and doing it consistently without taking sides is more difficult, so the kudos!
@@vivekkatara7208yes. When tje criminal has a big influence on the economy of a country. Why did the interview with V Prabhakaran by Anita Pratap was so discussed even by the ruling establishment?
Honesty stumbles, speaks half sentences, fumbles..but it shines through. Cause it doesn't just know how to 'act' and say what the viewer wants to listen to. Seen and heard such honesty in a long time..and the patriotism is raw. She is a living encyclopaedia amongst all journos..salute!
Used to read Kanti Bhatt's articles in a local newspaper until he was alive and after his demise too. Today first time saw his wife and now I remember all he used to write about Sheelaji and their romance and how all started.. Woww.. Both husband and wife r so similar and the passion for their work is evident in their words ! Truly amazing.. and bold fearless journalist make a difference in society... I'm sure to say that u must make part 2 of this conversation and definitely bring her back and talk about her relationship with kanti bhatt and how it's so inspiring the way she took care of him in his last days as I read.. Overlooking some contradictory aspects of her interview, this one really struck the cord.. tq.
Throughout the interview many times she says "Ham Journalist hain..", just look at the pride and the smile she's carrying in those moments, kam apni pasand ka ho to zindagi me kisse sunane ka maza hi alag hoga 🙌🏻😍
wow....what an interview ....i am a senior citizen and grew up in her time....i literally cried during the interview.....she really spoke from the heart. hats off.
Not a single dull moment in this interview. Wonderful to hear from Sheela Bhatt about several aspects of her career and journalism in India. And kudos to Smita for giving this free space for her to express her thoughts at length and drawing out fine details
What an interview. Tears rolled unknowingly. she is so orthodox (in a good way) and we miss such pure journalist these days. I also adore Smitha a lot.
A journalist in truest sense. I not even for a moment felt like I was listening to a "journalist" by today's definition of it, but rather to a social worker and a lady passionate about her work and I feel extremely inspired. ❤
Some interviews you listen with curiosity, Some with anticipation, Some with a sense of awe & admiration, But there are a few which really become a part of you, in emotion & feel, and emotionally bankrupt you ..... Thank you Mrs Bhatt. And to you Smitaji !

My life's best 1 hour. A true journalism and true journalist are rare diamond but having said that World best diamonds are coming from Gujrat only and she is a epitome of the above statement. A full Dandavat pranaam to Sheela ji🙏🙏
What an incredible person she is so experienced & has such clarity of thought for me she represents a real hardworking passionate person who is frustrated to see superficiality win over real talent & hardwork. She asserted herself so well 😍

Ooh my goodness....never seen such a good at heart, beautiful soul whose heart beats for India n our countrymen only. Thank you Smitaji for introducing me to such a personality.
journalists like Sheela ben are the real gems...and we keep glorifying presstitues like Barkha Dutt and the likes and hats off to Ms Smita Prakash..watching her journalistic escapades since childhood❤
When you say Barkha failed as a journalist ( eg. her coverage of 26/11 lead to a security vulnerability) then you expose her hypocrisy. But when you casually hand out labels like presstitute ( short for press prostitute ? ) , you only reflect on your upbringing.
This is such a genuine conversation. The lady is grounded in India. She seems genuinely in love with India. It was refreshing to see this interview. Breath of fresh air!
Mesmerized. Is she even real? Have seen innumerable podcasts on various platforms. But nothing as unique as this one. Her dignified naivety stirred my soul with her frank and human approach to her profession and life in general. I salute her spirit. Reminded me of my father, a journalist by profession in the 60s till the 80s, who had a similar humanistic sincerity and dedication to his profession. Only respect for this lady. Salute and love.❤
Amazing woman....where are such wonderful journalists who love this country. Probably there is no one left. All contemporary journalists should see this podcast and learn what the true journalism is. Hats off to Sheela Bhat ji....
I think the best podcast till date. Not because of the "Startling facts", "The breaking news" , but the flow of the honesty, humility and simplicity of a human persona. Thank u for presenting such a journalist to us,the common people.We almost started believing that such a journalist can still be there without taking a position on the two extreme swings of the pendulum.🙏
One of the best podcast I have ever come across. In eighties when I was teen, I never missed her articles in Chitralekha and later in Abhiyan. In today’s era of 5 star journalism, it is refreshing to listen to Sheelaji as she is genuine, authentic, stark honest and down to earth personality. Thanks Smitaji 👍
Sheela ben’s husband Kantibhai was a noted Journalist. he was once disturbed and wanted to cut short his life. While contemplating to commit suicide sitting in Mumbai Local by jumping off the train, he heard two guys sitting behind him chatting about him. “Have you heard Kanti Bhatt’s Analysis of India-Pakistan war on Radio ? What an amazing analysis !” Unaware of the fact their subject was sitting hlbehind them. However, Hearing this had a miraculous effect on Kantibhai and he called off his plan and got the zeal to live life again and became renowned columnist & Journalist.
Let's get this woman Respected Sheela Bhatt her special show and let her speak of her experiences and please let her teach all of us her life experiences, life lessons. Her words are wisdom. Really she is very precious.
This was something special. I learned hard work, dedication, positivity. Also it made me look at India in a different light. She talked about the poor and their problems. The host didn’t interrupt her from expressing her thoughts. Respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Amazing podcast. Sheela Bhatt a true nationalist, honest and fearless journalist. Down to earth. Full of positivity with no malaise and hatred against anyone.
Such a fantastic podcast....hats off to her thought process and more importantly sensitivity towards the underprivileged section of our society.....and the last leg was the icing on the cake..... truly every journalist must learn from her what journalism is all about.....Smitaji thank you very much for introducing her to masses
I met Sheela Bhatt once in 1986 in Baroda when she visited his brother’s home. I had discussed with her little and was really impressed by her style of reporting. My name is Dr. Prajapati. She may not remember but I still. She is really knowledgeable compared to these Sardesai , Rubbish, etc
Brilliant, forthright and incisive. I feel so refreshed and humbled after listening to this podcast. Deep respect to Sheelaji and thank you to Smitha Prakash for inviting Sheelaji. Gem of an interview.
I am a big fan of sheela bhatt, I met her in 1987, she is an amazing lady, her husband was also amazing writer, most gujjus of that era knows him, sheelaji lost her only daughter and her husband, her life is full of tragedy
Listening to people like Sheela Bhatt makes us realize what is true passion. She is deeply passionate about her country, her profession, her identity. She is so rightly said that anything and everything is amplified by social media. To get a true understanding of what’s actually happening in the country or community requires pure ground work. Excellent 👏👏👏
Brought tears to my eyes hearing about people who come to listen to Mayawati ji's speech. The people who have no slippers or clothes living in 40 degrees heat. Sheela ji thanks for sharing with us. God bless you madam!
I am speechless. I have hardly ever completed a 1 hr video on TH-cam. I never thought I would watch an entire 1hr 17 min interview on ANI, but i have. I love her steadfastness, her passion. What glorious 60yrs she has given to this country. Hats off Sheela ji.
First time came to know about Sheela Bhatt. Very nice personality. Whatever she wanted to say she did it without allowing it be disrupted. She is a real India-Premi. Thankful to Smita Prakash for this interview.
Aur Dhinchak pooha, Neha kakkar, Rakhi Sawant aur uski duplicate ko viral karo.... Where was this strong lady in these year? Why are we not aware of her? My God! Mind blowing podcast 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The best podcast till this date...❤❤.. thank you smitaji and naman to this brave outspoken and sweet lady sheelaji...This shows the real streeshakti of india. Marvelous!!
Sheelaben is a Live Dynamite .. She has shed light upon some of the much discussed issues. Is she still into active journalism ?? Thank you Smita for getting Sheelaben onboard !! Looking forward to Sheelaben 2.0
what an amazing conversation this was… the depth of sheelaji’s knowledge and the stories she has ..fascinating 🙏🏻 what an absolutely real journalist she is… And once and for all she settled the question about Modiji education 😊
One thing she talked about understanding the pulse of the Indian Common Man/Woman is very important. I as a student am very inspired by her values and her pure heart which is a very rare quality. Thank you Sheela Mam for all your contributions.
To be honest, I was only curious to hear the Dawood topic and i ended up listening to whole podcast! What a women she is! hats off to her bravery, boldness and uniqueness in true journalism 👏🏼💙
The amount of pain she felt while acknowledging that there are no National level editors/journalists of enough calibre who can understand the country, spoke volumes of the state of journalism in present day.
This is a spectacular interview. As cool as Ms Smita Prakash and ANI are this is one of the few experiences where I can safely say that the product or content has transcended the people who put it together. The creation is bigger than the creators.. It was like watching RRR. You guys have done it! Congratulations.
Shri Sheela Bhat is a very fine human being more than anything else. A true mobile library. We need more of such journalists than what we see on TV channels and print media. May Maatha Shri Ambha Bhavani's blessings be upon 🙏 her in all her endeavors. 🙏
Wow! What a great journalist, and more a great insaan Sheelaji is. Huge respect from my heart for her. We need thousands of Sheela Bhats to help the people understand about real India.
What an episode..and Sheela Bhat..what a personality..a thorough journalist...a bow to you..such a heart touching interview..her love for India and the countrymen.. every word♥️🥹🥹
It was joyful to listen to her and that cheer on her face while talking about Kareem LaLa makes me wonder that she was very well aware that he was no criminal, just an Alpha leading the pack. Her view of India is so panoramic, nothing left to capture.
Such a wonderful interview!! A conversation with real journalist. Thanks for this interview and would love to listen to another podcast with Sheela ji. She is powerhouse of real journalism and a proud nationalist.
What a podcast, what a personna, huge respect for gem like Sheela Bhatt mam, what a legend journalism career, so much grounded, hard to find ppl like her, this generation is just passing silently 🙏🏻
Sheelaji dedication to covering important subjects with depth and insight is truly commendable. The patriotism that shines through in her writings is both inspiring and impactful. Her work serves as a beacon of truth and a testament to your unwavering commitment to journalism.
I have known her since her debut as a journalist and also her husband Kanti Bhatt. Dedicated to their profession in letter and spirit. I also salute Smita too for taking her interview. Even at the age of 64, Sheela still looks younger in the field of journalism. Today's media sells its soul but deodorizes its body. Now a days, we see gutter journalists of ABP news, TV9, India Today etc.
Unforgettable podcast!! You have grown miles in this year while presenting these podcasts. You have opened eyes that good people do exist in India. She must have felt fish out of water in Journalism in Delhi. I feel sensitive towards her cause. Keep at it!! Kudos!!!
मैं अब तक वरिष्ठ महिला पत्रकार स्मिता प्रकाश जी को श्रेष्ठ पत्रकार समझता रहा परंतु यह वरिष्ठ महिला पत्रकार श्रीमती शीला भट्ट जी के इंटरव्यू सुन देखकर मुझे शीला भट्ट जी के महान पत्रकारिता और उनक मूल विचार सुन कर मुझे जबदस्त प्रभावित किया है।
omg..I didnt realise I heard her for one hour n still feel like listening her more n more.Loved meeting Kantibhai once. would love to hear from you much more n frequently.Smitaji thanks a lot for this podcast.🙏
So focussed on Indianness & India! She gave a nice lesson to all journos to always be wary of freebies 👏 not just a great Journo, she is great human being!
This is one of the best insightful interview, I have ever seen regarding Indian systems and society. Just out of words for Sheela Ma'am. ! She deserves a lot of appreciation & recognition for her duties.
In human life there are moments like 1 Wow Moment 2 Aha Moment 3 Speechless Moment After listening this podcast i would like to say i feel everything at once at the same time Moment 😁
Brilliant interview, oh what a personality, they don’t make journalists like her anymore. Hats off Sheela ji, for your dedication, principles and above all simplicity and humility. She is the real deal, a genuine news reporter, which is now an extinct breed. Thanks Smita ma'am for bringing to us this episode and changing our lives for the better, even for a little bit.
One of the best interview of a True Journalist. She should be made in leader position in some Media and communication forum. These journalists should get recognized by the Nation !!!!!!!! She is an inspiration she should ve called for conferences for universities in Institutions where journalists are studying
As a keralite, i have experienced mumbai life and delhi life. Delhi people are atitudewise very harsh comparing with mumbai's loving people . Even yhe police over there is tat poor wen u ask for any help whereas in mumbai yhe people or the police,everyone is so helpful and cordial even the trolley pullers on the streets or the chaiwalas..they deserve lots of love n respect .... Delhi is not my cup of tea .. Being from south, culturelly also we can connect with the marathi people. 90 % of the people were rude and arrogant in delhi whether it is the street seller, the chaiwala, the bus drivers, people who sits int the post offices were that low in attitude and extending help ... Mumbai ❤❤❤❤
Thats basically Delhi. Thats not towards South Indians particularly.. Delhi people are like that towards everyone.. even themselves. It is a sad situation but cant be helped. Its their way of life. I am a Maharashtrian.. i studied in Kota. One day I was talking on phone with my family in Marathi... And after the call my north Indian friends said which south indian language were you speaking? 😂.. and that day my little bubble shattered that Maharashtra is not South India. Everything below the Hindi Belt is basically South for them.

Do not generalise based on community as there are good and bad in every linguistic group-Dawood is a Marathi and there are so many dons in UP too.and there are millions of good Marathis and North Indians too
Because of their illiteracy and more base of krishi jagat they were so act.. And being a capital city she says some 47 or more sophisticated engineering wholesale markets.. And registered offices may be this difference prevails..
Thanks you Smita ji....for this podcast .It was very interesting, I came to know about one of the best journalist in India . She sound so down to earth...My best wishes .
Sheela Bhatt you are great, Your hard work, integrity, and fearlessness in the face of challenges have set a remarkable example for aspiring journalists and have earned you the well-deserved reputation of a true legend in the field.
Sheelaben I am from Rajkot and know you since Abhaiyan days, especially for Chandrakant Baxi's One Page. Thru ANI I got to know your views. Great Mam. Modiji should fill up both houses LS and RS, with PEOPLE like you.

Absolutely superb podcast . What a lady ! Each and every word she spoke was so apt …. She presented current sorry state of journalism in India so clearly and aptly. Enjoyed this podcast ! You should invite Sheela bhatt again .
It's a shame on my part that i had never heard of this lady. One of the best interviews I've seen in my life. She deserves a Padma award to say the least. I realise we have become so shallow and biased compared to the India she sees and envisions.
Smithaji - Please bring back Sheelaji again to detail on Modi, Amit Shah etc on today’s politics. Also you can direct questions in such a way so as for her to stay focused to complete the thought process. She is so simple and honest 🙏🙏🙏
*One of the best interviews I have ever seen! Actually, it's more than an interview, it's a narration of a spectacular life. Even a generally articulate Ms. Smita Prakash is relegated to just a few words and nods.......And how many of us had heard of Ms. Sheela Bhatt??? I hadn't! Incredible, gutsy lady.......*
I am a student of 27 years , curious about these topics this interview mesmerize me , so much I have learned from these things , hats off to u miss Smita Parikh as a journalist. Looking more to see these types of interviews.❤
Brilliant person… extremely rare combination of intrepidity, intelligence and integrity. Ability to cut through the noise and see the reality and call out the bullshit from bona fide, underpinned by a genuine sense of compassion is inspiring. God Bless her and use her to her full potential.
Thank you for bringing such great people to talk about our country....the last 20 minutes was an exceptional perspective about our country's complexity.
Sheela Bhat Jee appears to be a highly professional person! I have heard her for the first time! It was a very interesting programme. Congrats ANI for such a podcast
So mich to hear and learn from this lady, amazing experience and integrity. This podcast should have been done in multiple parts, I think she had lots more to share that today's generation.especially jounalists can learn
I am a big fan of sheela bhatt I just bought abhiyaan only to read sheela bhatt and kanti bhatt. I am just felt blessed to see her Thanks for the interview I am inspired by her😊❤
It's a beautiful moment to see you both together ❤🎉, Sheela Bhatt is an upper honestic , courageous, clarityfull women in her time and now. I really shocked to see her in first time of my life. Because it's an era of money media. Thanks smitha Maam🎉🎉
Such a beautiful soul, thankyou smita for bring Shilaji on the podcast. I am impressed by her basic and simple rules of life. I am from Bangalore and on my visit to Kolkata first time had tears looking at the condition of people there.
I had a very weird view about journalists, but your this interview with Respected Sheela jee has changed my perception & I have started respecting journalists. Truly touching & inspiring.
Whoa! Thanks for bringing Sheela Bhatt ji on your podcast. I never thought there could be a person who knew Modi ji as well as Dawood Ibrahim. Totally mind blowing podcast! She should write a book.
Brilliant perspective by the lady..Really impressed by her modernism and her understanding of India. She is a lesson to many top journalists who are called icons of the Industry today.
स्मिताजी धन्यवाद, आज आप शीलाभट्ट जी को लेकर आई. शीला जी तो हमारी ( माई और मेरी श्रीमतीजी सत्तर- अस्सी के दशक से फेवरेट रिपोर्टर राही है जो सही मायनेमे अस सामायकी स्मगलिंग, राजकारण, सामाजिक घटनाक्रम और अच्छी अच्छी स्टोरीजलिखती थी. अपने तो आज हम अस वक्त के चित्रलेखा, अभियान और युवदर्शन जैसे साप्ताहिकी याद दिलादी. नलिनी & प्रकाश, शिकागो 👍 🌹🌹🙏
This is by far the best episode. Sheela ji has so much warmth and genuineness about her that she exudes hope. I wish all other journalist listen to this podcast.
I disagree with her when she said that, andar ka accha insaan kab jage, opposite can also be true, andar ka kattar muslim kab jaage. bjp shud not give tickets to muslims. hum probability pe nahi reh sakte.
She deserves a dedicated Netflix series 🥺🥵❤

Make this viral first proof oñ Degree of modi smitaji send to all media chenal it will be national service I hate kejriwal inhuman
Detention camp should be made in every states for Drugs suppliers. This will reduce Violence cases🙏🏽🇮🇳
@@ashok8872they dare not because it’s not True.
Why lost daughter and husband....?
Listening to people like Sheela Bhatt makes us realize what is true passion. She is deeply passionate about her country, her profession, her identity.
She is so rightly said that anything and everything is amplified by social media. To get a true understanding of what’s actually happening in the country or community requires pure ground work. Excellent 👏👏👏
Brought tears to my eyes hearing about people who come to listen to Mayawati ji's speech. The people who have no slippers or clothes living in 40 degrees heat. Sheela ji thanks for sharing with us. God bless you madam!
What a contrast. The way Journalism was seen those days and what it is now. Congratulations Smita for finding such gem and sharing it with us.
It’s just how ppl react & behave otherwise there was journalists like barkha Dutt too😂
@@tigerchhetri915 True, now it is all chatu patrakarita.
Soft advertisement of Congress
she is institution ...one more episode with her
She must have done ground reporting on Gujrat riots too! Sanjeev bhatt is still lingering in Jail.
I am speechless. I have hardly ever completed a 1 hr video on TH-cam. I never thought I would watch an entire 1hr 17 min interview on ANI, but i have. I love her steadfastness, her passion. What glorious 60yrs she has given to this country. Hats off Sheela ji.
First time came to know about Sheela Bhatt. Very nice personality. Whatever she wanted to say she did it without allowing it be disrupted. She is a real India-Premi. Thankful to Smita Prakash for this interview.
Thanks for bringing this interview... This interview left me smiling. So much positivity in one strong Indian lady who is more human than most of us.
Aur Dhinchak pooha, Neha kakkar, Rakhi Sawant aur uski duplicate ko viral karo.... Where was this strong lady in these year? Why are we not aware of her? My God! Mind blowing podcast 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The best podcast till this date...❤❤.. thank you smitaji and naman to this brave outspoken and sweet lady sheelaji...This shows the real streeshakti of india. Marvelous!!
Excellent conversation. Full admiration for the Down to Earth, Honest , Humble Sheela Ben . Thank you Smitha for inviting her
Hat's off to Sheela ji. Hard to find such honest, ground to earth person.A true journalist. India needs many more journalist like her.
Sheelaben is a Live Dynamite .. She has shed light upon some of the much discussed issues.
Is she still into active journalism ??
Thank you Smita for getting Sheelaben onboard !!
Looking forward to Sheelaben 2.0
I’m just 36, this pod cast has actually inspired me to do more. Salute to her independent spirit and the way she maintained her balance.
Same feeling here
Ab nadi mein kudi maar de
@@JusticeWarrior27- what made you make that comment ?
@@tejusvyas tired of these andhphakts and IT cell idiots
@@JusticeWarrior27kyu ?
what an amazing conversation this was… the depth of sheelaji’s knowledge and the stories she has ..fascinating 🙏🏻 what an absolutely real journalist she is…
And once and for all she settled the question about Modiji education 😊
One thing she talked about understanding the pulse of the Indian Common Man/Woman is very important. I as a student am very inspired by her values and her pure heart which is a very rare quality. Thank you Sheela Mam for all your contributions.
Sheila Ji Deserves RESPECT …. she’s just Plain & Simple ❤
Very Lively & Extremely Logical
Probably Once More we would like to hear her 🙏🏼
To be honest, I was only curious to hear the Dawood topic and i ended up listening to whole podcast! What a women she is! hats off to her bravery, boldness and uniqueness in true journalism 👏🏼💙
The amount of pain she felt while acknowledging that there are no National level editors/journalists of enough calibre who can understand the country, spoke volumes of the state of journalism in present day.
There is a difference that can be seen in Arnab ....bit his education,status he always talks about common people.
Sabke sab angrezi madhayam mein padhe hai. To sthaniya gyaan kahan se ayega.
Iska toh dawood ke sath ana jana tha. Aur ab pain ho raha hai jab bhaw nahi mil raha isko.
In the world actually
This is a spectacular interview. As cool as Ms Smita Prakash and ANI are this is one of the few experiences where I can safely say that the product or content has transcended the people who put it together. The creation is bigger than the creators.. It was like watching RRR. You guys have done it! Congratulations.
I can listen to her pure true conversation whole day..what a courageous lady.. respect 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Shri Sheela Bhat is a very fine human being more than anything else. A true mobile library. We need more of such journalists than what we see on TV channels and print media. May Maatha Shri Ambha Bhavani's blessings be upon 🙏 her in all her endeavors. 🙏
Wow! What a great journalist, and more a great insaan Sheelaji is. Huge respect from my heart for her. We need thousands of Sheela Bhats to help the people understand about real India.
What an episode..and Sheela Bhat..what a personality..a thorough journalist...a bow to you..such a heart touching interview..her love for India and the countrymen.. every word♥️🥹🥹
It was joyful to listen to her and that cheer on her face while talking about Kareem LaLa makes me wonder that she was very well aware that he was no criminal, just an Alpha leading the pack.
Her view of India is so panoramic, nothing left to capture.
Such a wonderful interview!! A conversation with real journalist. Thanks for this interview and would love to listen to another podcast with Sheela ji. She is powerhouse of real journalism and a proud nationalist.
What a podcast, what a personna, huge respect for gem like Sheela Bhatt mam, what a legend journalism career, so much grounded, hard to find ppl like her, this generation is just passing silently 🙏🏻
Sheelaji dedication to covering important subjects with depth and insight is truly commendable. The patriotism that shines through in her writings is both inspiring and impactful. Her work serves as a beacon of truth and a testament to your unwavering commitment to journalism.
I have known her since her debut as a journalist and also her husband Kanti Bhatt. Dedicated to their profession in letter and spirit. I also salute Smita too for taking her interview. Even at the age of 64, Sheela still looks younger in the field of journalism. Today's media sells its soul but deodorizes its body. Now a days, we see gutter journalists of ABP news, TV9, India Today etc.
Anchors are not journalist
Include newslaundy, Rubbish kumar, Barkha, Sherwani and islamocommunist dogs as well
Unforgettable podcast!! You have grown miles in this year while presenting these podcasts. You have opened eyes that good people do exist in India. She must have felt fish out of water in Journalism in Delhi. I feel sensitive towards her cause. Keep at it!! Kudos!!!
मैं अब तक वरिष्ठ महिला पत्रकार स्मिता प्रकाश जी को श्रेष्ठ पत्रकार समझता रहा परंतु यह वरिष्ठ महिला पत्रकार श्रीमती शीला भट्ट जी के इंटरव्यू सुन देखकर मुझे शीला भट्ट जी के महान पत्रकारिता और उनक मूल विचार सुन कर मुझे जबदस्त प्रभावित किया है।
omg..I didnt realise I heard her for one hour n still feel like listening her more n more.Loved meeting Kantibhai once. would love to hear from you much more n frequently.Smitaji thanks a lot for this podcast.🙏
Why r u deleting this comment?
So focussed on Indianness & India! She gave a nice lesson to all journos to always be wary of freebies 👏 not just a great Journo, she is great human being!
This is one of the best insightful interview, I have ever seen regarding Indian systems and society. Just out of words for Sheela Ma'am. !
She deserves a lot of appreciation & recognition for her duties.
In human life there are moments like
1 Wow Moment
2 Aha Moment
3 Speechless Moment
After listening this podcast i would like to say
i feel everything at once at the same time Moment 😁
Saans ROK kar Maine aapka pura interview suna. And I pride beeig women. God bless you ma'am
Brilliant interview, oh what a personality, they don’t make journalists like her anymore. Hats off Sheela ji, for your dedication, principles and above all simplicity and humility. She is the real deal, a genuine news reporter, which is now an extinct breed.
Thanks Smita ma'am for bringing to us this episode and changing our lives for the better, even for a little bit.
One of the best interview of a True Journalist. She should be made in leader position in some Media and communication forum. These journalists should get recognized by the Nation !!!!!!!!
She is an inspiration she should ve called for conferences for universities in Institutions where journalists are studying
As a keralite, i have experienced mumbai life and delhi life. Delhi people are atitudewise very harsh comparing with mumbai's loving people . Even yhe police over there is tat poor wen u ask for any help whereas in mumbai yhe people or the police,everyone is so helpful and cordial even the trolley pullers on the streets or the chaiwalas..they deserve lots of love n respect .... Delhi is not my cup of tea .. Being from south, culturelly also we can connect with the marathi people. 90 % of the people were rude and arrogant in delhi whether it is the street seller, the chaiwala, the bus drivers, people who sits int the post offices were that low in attitude and extending help ... Mumbai ❤❤❤❤
Thats basically Delhi. Thats not towards South Indians particularly.. Delhi people are like that towards everyone.. even themselves. It is a sad situation but cant be helped. Its their way of life.
I am a Maharashtrian.. i studied in Kota. One day I was talking on phone with my family in Marathi... And after the call my north Indian friends said which south indian language were you speaking? 😂.. and that day my little bubble shattered that Maharashtra is not South India. Everything below the Hindi Belt is basically South for them.
@@aakashnitureup mein hindi ke alava brij, awadhi, bundeli, kannauji aur Bhojpuri boli jaati hai. Up wale swayam inn bhashao ka antar nahi jaante. Marathi bhasha to bahut dur ki baat hai. 😄
❤ maharashtra and more so after seeing north India.
Do not generalise based on community as there are good and bad in every linguistic group-Dawood is a Marathi and there are so many dons in UP too.and there are millions of good Marathis and North Indians too
Because of their illiteracy and more base of krishi jagat they were so act.. And being a capital city she says some 47 or more sophisticated engineering wholesale markets.. And registered offices may be this difference prevails..
Thanks you Smita ji....for this podcast .It was very interesting, I came to know about one of the best journalist in India . She sound so down to earth...My best wishes .
Sheela Bhatt you are great, Your hard work, integrity, and fearlessness in the face of challenges have set a remarkable example for aspiring journalists and have earned you the well-deserved reputation of a true legend in the field.
Sheelaben I am from Rajkot and know you since Abhaiyan days, especially for Chandrakant Baxi's One Page. Thru ANI I got to know your views. Great Mam. Modiji should fill up both houses LS and RS, with PEOPLE like you.
I was in Mumbai then and have read all her and her husband's articals in Gujarati weeklys magazines.She speaks truth that is all I can say here.
Tere se kisi ne pucha hai ?? Kis liye bakwaas faila raha hai saale

Gujjus never speak the truth - it has been scripted by Smita Prakash and BJP
But she didn't speak of Gujarat riots. Why Sanjeev Bhatt is still in Jail?
Absolutely superb podcast . What a lady ! Each and every word she spoke was so apt …. She presented current sorry state of journalism in India so clearly and aptly. Enjoyed this podcast ! You should invite Sheela bhatt again .
It's a shame on my part that i had never heard of this lady. One of the best interviews I've seen in my life. She deserves a Padma award to say the least. I realise we have become so shallow and biased compared to the India she sees and envisions.
Absolutely
Smithaji - Please bring back Sheelaji again to detail on Modi, Amit Shah etc on today’s politics. Also you can direct questions in such a way so as for her to stay focused to complete the thought process. She is so simple and honest 🙏🙏🙏
4th fail aur tadipaar ki kya baat krege pade likhi journalist mam
Beautiful conversation between 2 Beautiful souls❤
*One of the best interviews I have ever seen! Actually, it's more than an interview, it's a narration of a spectacular life. Even a generally articulate Ms. Smita Prakash is relegated to just a few words and nods.......And how many of us had heard of Ms. Sheela Bhatt??? I hadn't! Incredible, gutsy lady.......*

Not parikh, prakash
56:03 I automatically started sobbing, don't know why. Very empathetic interview Thanks Smita 🙏
Brilliant person… extremely rare combination of intrepidity, intelligence and integrity. Ability to cut through the noise and see the reality and call out the bullshit from bona fide, underpinned by a genuine sense of compassion is inspiring. God Bless her and use her to her full potential.
Sheela Bhatt = Defination of a true journalism.
Chal be chatukaar
Sheila Bhatt - a wonderful woman journalist. Simple, straightforward, full of confidence and fearless.
Thank you for bringing such great people to talk about our country....the last 20 minutes was an exceptional perspective about our country's complexity.
🎉 33:41
Sheela Bhat Jee appears to be a highly professional person! I have heard her for the first time! It was a very interesting programme. Congrats ANI for such a podcast
Legendry celebrity indeed, what an honour to listen and meet such a candid interview .Great work.
So mich to hear and learn from this lady, amazing experience and integrity. This podcast should have been done in multiple parts, I think she had lots more to share that today's generation.especially jounalists can learn
Real interview of an experienced powerful journalist..salute🙏
I am a big fan of sheela bhatt
I just bought abhiyaan only to read sheela bhatt and kanti bhatt. I am just felt blessed to see her
Thanks for the interview
I am inspired by her😊❤
It's a beautiful moment to see you both together ❤🎉, Sheela Bhatt is an upper honestic , courageous, clarityfull women in her time and now. I really shocked to see her in first time of my life. Because it's an era of money media. Thanks smitha Maam🎉🎉
Such a beautiful soul, thankyou smita for bring Shilaji on the podcast. I am impressed by her basic and simple rules of life. I am from Bangalore and on my visit to Kolkata first time had tears looking at the condition of people there.
I too had the same feeling see people in Kolkata in 2009-10 i think. horrible state of affairs in many places of India
@@Indian-n1m it was no better in 2013 during my visit
I had a very weird view about journalists, but your this interview with Respected Sheela jee has changed my perception & I have started respecting journalists. Truly touching & inspiring.
Whoa! Thanks for bringing Sheela Bhatt ji on your podcast.
I never thought there could be a person who knew Modi ji as well as Dawood Ibrahim.
Totally mind blowing podcast!
She should write a book.
Brilliant perspective by the lady..Really impressed by her modernism and her understanding of India. She is a lesson to many top journalists who are called icons of the Industry today.

This is by far the best episode.
Sheela ji has so much warmth and genuineness about her that she exudes hope. I wish all other journalist listen to this podcast.
I disagree with her when she said that, andar ka accha insaan kab jage, opposite can also be true, andar ka kattar muslim kab jaage. bjp shud not give tickets to muslims. hum probability pe nahi reh sakte.
