We all know about Shweta’s new role as as an anchor for NDTV. Here is what her father Amitabh Bachchan thinks about the whole issue.
Shweta?s foray into television is so unexpected.
Well, NDTV Profit called her and offered her the chance to host this show, so it wasn?t something she planned or even initiated.
Now that she?s taking it on, we?ve given her all our blessings and suggestions. We even did a dummy show in my office. I watched her first episode and she was very good.
Shweta is the most photogenic Bachchan.
You?re right. And Shweta is also the most intelligent and balanced Bachchan. She?s very objective in assessment of situations.
Whenever we reach a dead-end during a family discussion, we call her and put her on a conference call.
We always keep going back to her for her wise opinion. Her intelligence comes through on her show.
Shweta is a voracious reader. All that she speaks on the show has been written by her.
Why did Shweta never act?
The choice was entirely hers. In fact, she was never interested in even accompanying me to shootings and film events.
On the other hand, Abhishek would always accompany me wherever I went. I think Shweta was a little shy and scared of public events.
Some of that shyness comes through on her show. But she?s also very perceptive. I loved the way she questioned Aman and Ayaan Khan in the first episode.
This week, she?s coming back to Mumbai to interview Karan Johar. I think she?s finally found her vocation.
She is presenting herself well on the show, and that?s because she has always been very presentable. And she?s able to speak her mind brilliantly. And that too on a show which isn?t frivolous in nature.
She?s written the script herself?
She has. Anchoring is generally divided into mind and face. Someone writes, another person comes on camera. It?s rare to have someone bring both the qualities in her personality
