I find Vijay Kumar always wants the centre of attention even though the whole point of his show is to portary the guest. He is too self-indulgent and comes across as unrefined interviewer.

I said from what I have seen in my family/friends...I didn't really mean to say that all women are like that, mind it! How can I say that? if I do, i'll be contradicting myself!

...looks like vijay kumar is getting more and more publicity...i don't know whether gauri knew about the kinds of questions that would be thrown towards her, and i also do not know if VK was asking such questions just because he wanted to gain publicity or just becausse he wanted to make her feel inferior. What I know is, the motto of this program is to attract more people towards it, gain popularity through some interesting things (well, we get much information from this program, but it runs not just for that!). And now, looking at this thread and all these replies, i am very sure that VK has the ability to attract people towards this (whether they like him or not!) and this program has sure gained much popularity!!

telling people your age kind of makes you feel like you are getting old (felt the same on my last birthday, damn). i don't know what asking her old she was had anything to do with the interview. and insisting that he wanted a number helped any kind of cause. but we should also give the interviewer his due when he didn't go about insisting that she tell him the reason behind her divorce. he spared her there at least and i think that mattered more.

i hate it that sajha doesn't have Edit a Post option. i needed to add a "didn't" up there in my post.

Interesting Interview. I enjoyed it.

Somewhat this interview with Gauri Malla is similar to Jharan Bajracharya's interview by VK.

Personally I think he is a horrible interviewer. He does not know his boundries he brings personal vendattas. He begins by demising the actress, her career and with a bias view.

He talks as if people as if living abroad is a sin. I remember him taking TOEFL test with me at Lincoln school in ktm perhaps he did not score enough...On the other hand Gauri was gracious and answered well.

Having Bijay Kumar on the air is a liability and a disgrace to the TV station. I would fire him in a heart beat

mucho fieste when did you see him taking tofel testmust be ten fifteen years ago..lol .he never said living abroad is a sin. he himself lived in newzealand for several years. his wife herself is an actress and they know each and everybody in film industry very well.

second thing, how many of people would have been interested in watching gauri mallas interview if he kept on asking about her movies santaan,lovipapi and so forth. those are bygone. she has come back to nepal after four years. everybody is curious what has happened to her life or else there would have been no use of the interview.

he never insisted in very personal question. when very personal question about divorce arrived he gave enough room to her that if she didnt want she may not answer. so he was not overbeering .

and yeah if u think vijay kumar is liablity then why dishanirdesh is so popular inteview program. why do they have to continue its sequel in nepal one program.

Yeah,Vijay Kumar is getting to personal on this interview.But what Gauri Malla says is the reality here.I like her way of answering.

do you really think anybody is curious? People are talking only because how bad the interview was..

That is his show. He can run it just the way he likes it, and after seeing his career, he has been admired. Otherwise, he wouldn't be around for all these years.
In a casual meeting with the then King Birendra after Panchayet period, Vijay Kumar asked him, "How are you feeling to be a king of Nepal?"
He is notorious for being nosy and crude. But in a society like ours, you can't drill anybody without having a couple of such qualities.
He is an interviewer, his job not to be liked by people. His job is to reveal the truth when it comes to interview a politician and to make it more controversial, bold and entertaining when he is interviewing a celebrity.
After getting accostumed to a different society you might dislike him so bad and so do I, but if you become contextual and think as if you were in Nepal, you wouldn't be objecting him. Because you have seen him doing the exact the same thing before and you didn't say anything and his interviews were highly regarded.

The only person that becomes controversial from his interviews is he himself. He is either admired or loathed by people after the interviews he conducts. But the very essence of those interviews, to reveal the person he is interviewing, to get as much credible and relevant information about the interviewee gets lost or forgotten due to the kind of characteristics he shows in the interviews.
I cannot think of any interviews of politicians or celebrities in western country that I have watched where the interviewer has come out as more controversial than the interviewee. If this was to be the case, what is the point of the interview? Vijay Kumar feeds his ego in all the interviews he conducts thus failing miserably to gain the purpose of the interview.

And BTW, few months ago there was an active and interesting discussion on Vijay Kumar, his ethics, personality and ability.

If anyone could search for that thread, it would be helpful for you guys to understand him more.

If it helped.

well i dont see any problem with interview. if we see in europe and usa they are always trying to find about sex lilfe of celebrity and find out personal details. they are film stars and these questions do come onto them its just natural. incase of this episode vijay gave enough room for her to not answer very personal question.
the fact that we are all discussing him and his episode means that his episode got what he wanted. an ordinary interview program is not even talked about and is simply ignored.

usually in such interviews in the US, both the interviewee and interviewer mock each other. But it doesn't look funny or good when only one side is dominating too much.

I too have watched many of his shows. my general impression about Vijaya Kumar is that he is a wonderful person at heart. i still recall one of the shows where he interviewed a poor widow in a village who was living under massive hardship with her only daughter. The interview was really very emotional and it did bring tears to my eyes as well.

After making a debut in the early years of inception of NTV, VK has certainly grown over the years. He used to be very rough, direct and knowledgeless during his previous years. Over the years he has establised himself as one of the better reporters in NTV...so he has come a long way, there is no question about that.

I guess he possess a nature which makes him sound and look like a blunt and shameless person and that projects him like an egotist but in fact he is not. i don't know him in person, so this is just my reading of him over the years, a guess out of blue.

LooTe

Yeah, just like a dog.
