OVERVIEW

Karan Thapar is notorious for asking tough questions that leave prime ministers, film stars, and foreign diplomats squirming. In this autobiography, he shifts the spotlight onto his own life—from his childhood and his days at Cambridge to the famous interviews that redefined the landscape of Indian television journalism.

Meet the Author

Karan Thapar is a veteran Indian journalist and television commentator. He has worked with international networks like London Weekend Television and BBC before heading major news programs in India such as To the Point and Devil's Advocate. Celebrated for his sharp analytical mind, he has won multiple Asian Television Awards for Best Current Affairs Presenter.

Book Summary

The memoir outlines the high points and controversies of Thapar's long journalistic journey. He candidly recounts his historic, tense interviews with prominent figures like Narendra Modi (which famously ended after just three minutes), J. Jayalalithaa, Benazir Bhutto, and Kapil Dev. The book does not hesitate to discuss the personal fallout, political boycotts, and heavy professional prices he faced for refusing to compromise his journalistic integrity. It serves as a gripping narrative on power, the media, and the elusive nature of truth in political circles.
