Rendezvous with Simi Garewal - Vijay Mallya

Vijay Mallya is quite extraordinary!
I remember when he came for the shoot -- a huge extended van followed him. Inside it was his wardrobe, 100s of suits, shirts and ties neatly arranged; he asked me to choose what I would like him to wear for our Rendezvous!
But there are other facets to Vijay that few are aware of.
Like everyone else, I imagined that Vijay Mallya was born in the lap of luxury, with the proverbial silver spoon - till he inherited his father’s business empire.
Our rendezvous revealed another story..
Vijay talks about his early days growing up in Kolkata..the effect his father’s re-marriage had on him as a young boy..
You think he parties hard? Well -- he works even harder -- around the clock. His spirituality prevails over his life and actions. He is generous in every way - even with his enemies.
From a boy of divorced parents, growing up in Calcutta.. riding on trams -- Vijay has come a long way.
His story and thoughts are always profound.
