Simi Garewal recently opened up about the interview in a candid chat with Rediff, emphasizing how crucial it was for Bachchan to agree to such a personal conversation amidst his company’s financial woes and career criticisms. Despite the intense scrutiny, Bachchan maintained a dignified composure throughout the interview. Garewal praised him for his ability to handle probing questions gracefully, saying, “We covered everything from his childhood to his career struggles, his family, and even his preferences in women. It was an all-encompassing discussion.”
Garewal defended Bachchan against accusations of dishonesty, particularly regarding his relationship with Rekha. She stated, “Some people claimed he wasn’t truthful about Rekha. But I believe he was sincere. The skepticism about his words didn’t reflect the reality I saw during the interview.”
