Madhu Trehan Interviews Karan Thapar on his book, Devil’s Advocate

- Karan Thapar’s new book, Devil’s Advocate, has got people talking once again about access journalism, New Delhi’s close-knit Lutyens’ circle and the importance of protecting a source. In this interview, Madhu Trehan addresses a host of these issues. About being a Lutyens’ journalist, he responds, "Falling into the Lutyens' category means you are not desi and ganwar and I don't wish to be ganwar in any sense of the term." Thapar has devoted a full chapter on his attempts to uncover the BJP's boycott and refusal to appear on his programme. Madhu reads an article by Thapar where he exposes Narendra Modi as a source and writes of him, "The man I discovered last week is a mere creature - of prejudice, of petty vengeance, of double standards and forked-tongue utterances. The first Mr Modi deserved to be chief minister. The second deserves to be sacked."
Madhu also asks about the ethics of quoting Pavan Verma without his permission and betraying Sambit Patra who was trying to help him. Thapar also leaked a story to a newspaper about Amitabh Bachchan after his boss demanded he remove that section from the recorded interview. Watch what he has to say.

They talk like exes who still cannot decide who was responsible for the break up. 😂
Yash Vijayvargiya you stole my words, I was about to comment the same.😂👌👌
Yash Vijayvargiya hahaha.. Agreed
It's about a book review affair from 2009. Madhu wrote a book and Karan cut out large chunks of it (and Madhu alleges that he didn't even read the whole thing). Madhu still probably has a grudge against Karan for this.
Google it up if you don't take my word.
True🤣😂🤣😂
On point sir
I am sure they have dated each other at some point of time😂
agreed
Hell yess buddy😂😂😂
I mean just look at them..they look so perfect together...❤
I have a friend with whom I share the same camaraderie. We have never dated or have been in love but I can take a bullet for him and yet bully him and humiliate him at the same time.
Yeah.. had the same feeling.
Also that he never called her back and now she's angry.
I was waiting for the moment, when karan walks out of the room by saying " hamari dosti bani rhe"
Underrated
English mein bolega😂
🤣🤣🤣
@@adityasahariya6698 let our friendship stay!!
hahahahhahahahahahh, good one
This was one of the most romantic interviews I have ever seen. Even better than so many bollywood movies around. Please talk to him more,or even do a show together.
😃 😀 😄
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Journalistic ethos be damned; I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed the interview 😂😂😂
Same here.
if you love this interview then also check out their 2012 interview 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
even more masala
Me too same
Indeed
They Really Like Each other...Love this interview. 90s Love is always iconic.
70s
“You’re a very hurtful friend” this sums of Madhu Trehan’s attitude towards him. This interview should shown as a case study on how to handle hostile interviewers.
12:00 onwards. I didn't think one can get under his skin. She did. Even the body language showed a distinct discomfort.
well said, It's always fascinating to see such interviews where the interviewee is so comfortable with his philosophy. One example is the conversation between Sam Harris and Ezra Klein's podcast.
You bet. It was a classic. Interaction that shows.. Gentlemanly repartees ...
Karan has handled her comfortably
Madhu, your interview with Karan makes me respect Karan more. Journalists like you are important for our country. Journalists like Karan are also very important. :) Just co-exist anyhow ;)

Damn, old people fighting is the best kind of entertainment
You fucking ageist,Madhu has acheived more that you can in 12 lifetimes,so STFU if can be objective
Jack Micheals dang bro He is just joking,, Give him some break!!
Listen ,you demented ageist
Madhu Trehan has more intelligence than sex generations of your progenies
Now shut the F up
Jack Micheals what’s your problem?? Noone said that Madhu is bad reporter.. you are saying by yourself.. you have fighting mentality... I am saying that Madhu is great reporter And that guy is just joking... your thinking is bit weird I think you should consult physician for it..!!!
They are not any *"old people"* like your grandparents. Their accolades can't be achieved by us even in our 20s...
I wanna see Madhu get interviewed by Karan. Oh the gore!
Damnn
My god.!! what did I just click...this lady have some unresolved feelings for karan it seems.
I feel the same.. They should just get a room and get it over with. BTW.. This interviewer was horrible.
Lol man
What he says about south India was right, I'm watching this because of English. I don't know Hindi
Same here
Same
Same
Musthak when did your family convert to islam ??
I think the lady had a crush on Karan and was rejected.
Unfortunately turned out to be gay..so
who is the obnoxious one? I've followed Karan Thapar since the 1990. He is one of the few honest courteous gentlemen in media today
To borrow a line from the Dark Knight Trilogy, “This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object”.
Absolutely iconic interview. We need another part. 😂
Karan's style is amazing. Even rèts
Secrets are open to karan.
A perfect example of responding to difficult situations in an interview. Also, Karan kind of had a taste of his own medicine. Some questions may sound unnecessary but the intention behind the questions were interesting. One has to go through Karan's interviews to understand those intentions. The ending was a bomb
She is talking about human values that she herself in this interview is not exhibiting.
Kapil Sharma Karan need to be grill that way
Yes. That is done on purpose. They have that kind of chemistry. 😂😂Watch this interview from 6 years ago - czcams.com/video/S0pgz2biUmE/video.html
Why?
My exact thoughts
Kapil, you might have not seen how karan thapar interviewed others ?
That looked like interrogation.
I am at the 27th minute and why do I feel this interview is going to end up with Madhu physically punching Karan and Karan going in his British stiff upper lip style, "That's a bit unbecoming of you darling" (With the accent) =))
abhishek toshniwal Utterly abominable.
Lol
this one is funny
Loool
I think Madhu was showing him how it feels when asked the kind of questions that Karan asked from his interviewees.
Why did Karan do this interview?
Did they have a past?
Sounds like they were sweethearts
ikr... watch their 2012 interview as well, I said the same thing
Why isn’t this made into a series or something, I think this can give a huge competition to all sorts of recreational activities people indulge themselves in to feel calm. This was so cute and joyous !
💯✔💝
My respect for Karan Thapar just sky rocketed after this interview. This is exactly how to handle an interviewee.
as if u didn't resect him earlier, well i can read ur name. :p
Interviewee or interviewer ?
Very well said !
Indeed He showed his class 👏
@@pawanchauhan043 karan fucked modi...
3:58 desi is not a synonym of GAVAAR. One can be educated&traditional at the same time.
Thats precisely what i mean when i say that karan is too british to be Indian
true
Oho...what a sanskaari mix of "modern lifestyle and traditional values"
He said desi and gavar. Did not say either was the other.
@@coolud91doon school, st Stephen.. Wahi niklega
Exes with Axes ... .. quarantine brought me to this interview & no regrets 😂😂😂👊
underrated comment 😂😂😂
if you love this interview then also check out their 2012 interview
I love aggresive conversations in the form of war of words. This was quite something.
Karan ...respect for maintaing composure throughout the interview.
Meena Isaac because that's what his guests are doing for last 30 yers
Rahul Kumar ....I have never seen him become cheap and petty like the interviewer here. This opportunity for interview was misused to settle scores. I have never witnessed him do that.
Brother, watch his interview with swamy, you will knew his intentions
Its his good quality that makes him look winner in interviews or any debate..
PORK ...inhuman behaviour puts me off...that's all.
Karan Thapar has bought a new collection of Lacoste Tees and he's wearing each one of them in his interviews. Red blue green striped.. Lol
Madhu's way of interviewing seems more of personal attack than professional
That was the style of Karan, going behind his guest in a personal manner, which stands no relevance to the more significant identity and contribution of individuals!
Thanks to Madhu Trehan, I am starting to like Karan Thapar. The least professional interview ever. Madhu Trehan's style is revolting.
Indeed
What absolute bullshit
Karan Thapar is no liberal.He is a rude,pompous,poor on stats and facts and data
Raveesh Kumar, Madhu Trehan ,Sekhri are good eamples of fair journalists who have grace and a humane approach while acking tough questions
not at all... i suggest you see this..the present interview was way more mature!
czcams.com/video/S0pgz2biUmE/video.html
@amikol100 I'm glad u dint see urself in mirror otherwise u would have broken it
Madhu is always nice but here she is calling him out because he use to bully people.
I haven't seen other interviews done by Madhu but this one makes you wonder whether she's capable of interviewing or not.
Loved how Karan Thapar maintained his composure.
Abhishek Sharma - a brilliant interview exposing the pathological inheritance of Karan. One could see him really pabicking & aggressive, a calm composure is something different.
@@Pork393 she was not asking questions, she throughout the interview tried to paint him as worst journalist without having any valid points, just pointless arguing and telling him no you are wrong and what I think is the universal truth.
i thought the same
Best interview ! Fun to watch 😀 but Karan did good job.
Karan got his own medicine test... thoroughly enjoyed this interview.... i would love to watch Karan to host Madhu Tehran one fine day.
Watch Madhu and dr Naresh trehan interview by Karan thapar(2003) devils advocate, you will find a different Madhu there 😂🤣
oh goodness, i laughed throughout this interview, now my cheeks are hurting.😂😂
Yes .
Very cheeky interview indeed
Madhu is incapable of speaking to him in a normal fashion. Either they are really good friends or she hates his guts. This was pointless.
this guy deserves the contempt i would say.
Dharini Parthasarathy
I seriously wish that they are very good friends rather than foes.
Well ...just wishful thinking... Is it ?
Dharini Parthasarathy well, Mr Thapar has through his career created a reputation of being an obnoxious interviewer. He also repeatedly used personal attacks on his guests regularly which is what Ms Trehan did to him here. A taste of his own medicine didn't suit his palette XD
sheldon pereira well, since he agreed to an interview, he's obliged to.
I don’t think someone like Madhu needs your certificate of good conduct. On the contrary Karan is someone who is really overrated, totally detached from the ground realities of this nation. And she exposed him perfectly by asking him about the interview with a former prime minister and about the number of times he’s visited any village in the country.
Karan Thappar can *"English"* his way out of ANY given situation.
05it238 in India such "English " is simply called chutiya!
05it238 still English slave?
Given that one of the meanings of the word "English" is "spin", this is an excellent doubly-true pun.
They are fighting just like lovers..best interview I have seen
Check their body language and eyes. And I was after a point, scared of what's next.
@@anbee8127 they had a great sex next!🤠
Madhu Trehan interviewing Karan Thapar is THE craziest and most hilarious thing you can find in youtube. This video is so underrated!!!!
Oh, I was waiting for this. The last one was fire. :D
Like they say "like charges repel each other. " Loved it. Respect to both of them.
😂 omg... Yes
Whole Journalists of India Put together Cant Take Madhu Trehan...
Good Job Madhu...
I was expecting a " Dosto bani rahe " moment at any time during this interview.
Madhu Trehan is acting like an ex-girlfriend who is taking revenge. Hated her attitude. Karan was never like this and had genuine questions.
God she hates him!😆😆🤷🏼♂️
There is so much to learn from Karan. Hats off
Excellent interview... It's like watching a match of Tennis! While Trehan is at times back footed by Thapar's witty and blunt responses, one can see Thapar's defensive and near nervous body language! Marvel
I am halfway in the interview and wondering what did I walk into? Kudos to Karan for maintaining his composure.
Okay if this guy can maintain this composed a demeanour in the face of such an obnoxious interviewer then may be British way of life is better.
abhishek toshniwal well said
Get away with British slavery kid.. Your masters have left the country way back.. "Better!!!" hahaha
abhishek toshniwal Pls live in Britain & live India by the first flight.
Do you know meaning of obnoxious or you just used because this guy uses this word a lot.
why the fuck don't you go there... let me see how do they treat you...i am sure like dogs......i am sure you love that kind of life ...
I have never seen Karan Thapar being cornered like that. What a fantastic journalist 👍 brings out the egotistical behaviour from him perfectly.
Madhu sure has a real beef with Karan
And the Guy also knows how to counter (and he has real marketing sense)
This is comedy gold.
It's been almost two years since this was posted and I still cannot keep from coming back to this interview so often.
Weow 😮
Jhagde me pyar jhalak raha hai.
This verbal fighting is oozing love.
😂😂
What’s with Madhu here. ‘Benazir is dead. And there’s no way of knowing…. Thank God this guy is still alive…’ Great respect for Karan for the way he handled himself throughout.
Both are 🔥 and this is one of the amazingly beautiful and interesting interview
Great Madhu is the real answer.
Madhu, I am appalled at your questioning. Karan has every right to do what he wants to do. He does not have to do as per your standards. Sad.
Poornapragna Gudibande Karan misused the confidential information for his personal greed & gaining popularity. I m not sure how u would have felt it someone like Karan misusing your confidential information! It exposes Karan's pathological inheritance defects starting from his great grandfather La-la...
Whoaaaa...I didn’t expect this when I clicked on the video. Did they have a fling of sorts back in the Doordarshan days and had an ugly falling out? They sound like disgruntled exes interacting after years and venting out. I blame Madhu more than Karan here...she seems so flustered interviewing Karan.
Asir Muhammad Mr secularist?
But wasn't she married to Dr. Naresh Trehan then? I'm talking about the chairman of Mednata.
Karan is Gay
Since I had no prior opinion on any of these two people I started with thinking Karan was the bad guy here but as the interview progressed it started to settle on me that he's a journalist and people don't tell him things, he takes it out of them. He's doing his job by speaking the truth. However it was such an enjoyable watch because two people were discussing their wildly different povs without anyone raising their voice in the most elegant manner possible. Was a breath of fresh air as a departure from the modern podcast system where just about anyone with a mic can call themselves an interviewer. 🤧
The sexual tension was a intense during the whole interview. Laughed so much after a long time. 😂😂
Indeed 😂😂
Madhu- this interview went awry. You made it personal rather than factual.
What's wrong. Karan thapers says being personal is ok. Pay attention he has mentioned this in the course of the interview
Agreed
No she's being Karan Thapar herself
Giving him his taste of medicine.. but this was so fun
You know the quality of the interviewer when the question is "Why do you wear a bow-tie"
Were you born yesterday?
just like Karan asked PM Chandrasekhar why he wears old Dhotis?
#madhutrehan seems less of an interviewer than exposing her jealousy for the high standards of #karanthappar way of interviews, which are absolute fabulous.
Journalism is not about friendly dialogue , what Karen Thapar is doing .
He is remarkable journalist .
Saleem Hashmi he certainly appeases your kind and disgusts everyone else, he is an uppity , uncle tom burguois , left leaning, sucks up to congress , constantly interrupting rude , constantly puts word into other people’s mouths he interview. He is remarkable right..remarkable asshole of a journalist
@@srkn100 About the "sucking up to congress" point, watch his latest interview with Tharoor.
Madhu seems spiteful but Karan is equally egregious. He seems so comfortable breaching the trust of so many people I don't think a journalist should reveal his sources like this.
Of course this is our opinion 😂😂
Johnny Doe anyone who is in the profession of journalism knows how difficult it is to get genuine quotes.. If all journalists were to write articles with quotes, not mentioning the sources, the articles will hold no merit.. Even if the source says "do not quote me", the journalist can use his discretion
Madhu needs to learn from Karan on how to interview people. This was disappointing.
i have never seen them interviewing before. As a fresh look on to interview, thapar is running away with interview with 'your opinion'
deepak yadav I found Madhu excellent. She just showed him the mirror. The way & manner he conducts his interviews!
None of her questions are about real journalism 🙄 and Karan Thapar's carreer.
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview 😂😂
Karan calls a spade a spade that is courage that a lot of our Indian journalists lack. Hats off karan
I think Madhu Trehan in this interview comes across as quite personal in her questions and comments. I am not a big fan of Karan Thapar but I think he managed well so far... (I have only seen 15 mins so far)
Kapil Sharma agree to your observation
Kapil Sharma Karan was pathetic!
Res Madhu Trehan : congratulation you have achieved very well . Mr Karan proved himself poor man.. His body language expressed that he is learning a lesson in his own way . Great work ..
My respect always be goes to Mr. thapar

I thought at the end we would see them lying next to each other in a badly broken bed - sweaty, dishevelled, with cigarettes barely hanging between each of their lips, and looking totally exhausted.
Will have to wait for Karen's next book since he is going to reveal it no matter what promises he made. 🙂
Forget sas bahu or big boss, every week just let senior journalists interview each other and you have got the highest rating TV show in Indian television history. :)
Only Madhu Trehan can grill someone like Karan Thapar. Amazing !
The whole thing is so petty. “How unbritish can you be” gave me a serious bout of laugh, I almost fell. But seriously, I am now waiting for an interview with Arnab.
32:09: "oh you poor fellow, resorting to little sarcasm now"
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Why is this lady judging him while he is being Honest?? Arrogant and hypocritic bully. I never thought she could be sooo childish.
But, that ending though😂😂😂😂
Priyadarsini KL Karan & honest r antonyms.
Priyadarsini KL if he was honest, he wouldn't be writing things in his book which were told to him confidentially, gaining personal gains!
PORK my reference was to the way he is responding in this interview. He did admit bluntly at one time 'it was unethical' of him. Now wouldn't you call that being honest. Besides, I haven't read the book so I don't know whether he was honest there.
How can this name calling, one-upmanship, bullying, scoffing, and preaching on the part of Mrs Trehan ever be called an interview? She seems to hate a good number of people, particularly the ones who she considers more capable than herself. One hopes that her journalistic discipline would have enabled her to keep her hatred/contempt under check and ask meaningful questions, but the hope is in vain. The barrage of name calling ultimately seems to have proved counterproductive as it proves Mr Thapar to be incredibly articulate and sorted in his thinking.
She is just being Karan .Loved it.
Very true. It's one thing to ask uncomfortable or tuff questions, questions that put you on the spot and demand a response. But why was she dragging on them and constantly calling him names and sort of straight up bullying him to say that he agrees he's a horrible person. What journalistic ethos(blody she was hooting about all the while) was she following? what kinda interview is this? She din't even care for the audience and the nausea it would cause them, which at one point even Karan out of embarrassment asked her to consider. Potraying her god damn personal vendetta in a 47 minute interview seemed legit to this lady. What nonsense!
r g still an English slave?
Omg this lady has a huge crush on him! So so obvious! This was so fun to watch.
That is what a western educated person has in him : He fights in a civilised manner- He does not lynch.
West is the Best.
Who else was waiting for this?
Me as well. Fireworks all the way
I think this interview represents the purest form of democracy that we can atleast strive to achieve, though with its own limitations .. god damn the battle was thoroughly enjoyable, so refreshing to watch
Wish we had more of this!
WoW what an interview!
Grabbing the bull by its horns.
@Madhu amazing interview even though it seemed to be a tough one, and the opponent was in an attacking mood with no ethics n morality. You asked the hard questions still without getting frightened or subdued and the best part was as they say in English - you didnt let the pig drag you in the mud as that's what it likes to do... You kept your high ground!
The best interview I had seen in long time. A large kiddos to Madhu
Only a women could give karan a taste of his own medicine
Wonderful job done by Ms Madhu showing a mirror to Karan and giving him a taste of his own medicine. Brilliant.
O what an interview!! It simply was mind-boggling to all of us..
The question about visiting a village has been my question for all the years I've seen Karan on TV.
Wow! This was a very VERY interesting interview
There were points where I agreed and disagreed with both of them and that’s what makes it worth my time
Put two experienced journalists in a room and something unique is bound to come out
We need more such interviews
madhu is clearly jealous of karan,,karan's spontaneous reactions are top notch
Notwithstanding many comments here, I think this interview is pretty well done. Madhu Trehan offers a mirror to Karan Thapar when she interviews him. Pay attention to the topics and stories she brings up, they are crucial and deserve no different treatment (e.g. the Amitabh interview at the end).
If you think her 'journalistic skills' or 'interview manners' are not great, you are mistaken. For example, check out her interview of Arun Shourie or Barkha Dutt.
Clearly madhu trehan hates him big time. Not sure why karan agreed for this interview again..
Madhu loves being obnoxious and is a big bully.
Glad that karan maintained his composure
sahil mehndiratta personal amibitions bro personal ambitions..... Karan is more well known then her...
Deep Tanna True that!
By this, I lost all respect for this hypocrit lady. She only asked questions on behalf of BJP supporters
This dude is known to be an eloquent asshole who has been given a taste of his own medicine in this interview. And she is right to point out that Arnab has taken his mantle of personal attacks and surpassed him.
czcams.com/video/YjKWHYtf4JA/video.html
You idiots, she is giving him a taste of his own medicine. Maybe you like this Macaulay putra? Does this Macaulay putra describe Sanjay or Rajiv Gandhi in the same light as he did to Modi? No, he wont because he was their lapdog. His sister use to date a Gandhi.
What an interview this! Karan is amazing. A little arrogant maybe, but no interviewer like him now. Classy, sassy, smart and sharp. 👍👍✌🏻
I wish our politicians could put themselves through such scrutinising interviews.
Satyam Tripathi still an English slave?
I have the right to comment on this video. Also, I have the absolute right to have my own opinion that this man should interview Modi once more.
I’m into 29mins of this interview and already an idea is forming in my mind. The interviewer ( perhaps in their youth) had a bad crush on Karan and he wasn’t interested. She somehow hasn’t gotten over it yet and taking it out on him. And, this is highly amusing for him. 😜
How petty can she be???
Taking her vendetta further, just like her last one. She is the reason I'll never pay newslaundry. The Wire for me
My sentiments exactly. I discontinued my subscription to Newslaundry because of her. There is no limit to her irrational hatred of a range of people. While journalists shouldn't be any politician's friends, they most certainly shouldn't hate anyone either, at least while being journalists. I think she will do a big favour to Newslaudry by maybe supporting it from behind the curtain but not letting her biases impact their reporting.
wire the liar
r g She specifically wants to take out Karan since he gave her book poor review. I have that book and I agree with Karan on his criticisms.
Sandeep Halder No one is saint - Wire is pretty far left. But not cheap.
Agree with you..there is another interview of thaper conducted by her which has many similar questions.
Karan is intimidating to us viewers too. Never feel comfortable watching his interviews. The only time he behaved was with Ms. Arundhati Roy who clearly would have given him back in his own way.
i wish there would be someone exactly like karan taking interview of him. That would have been a blast to see
The first and last time I would watch a interview by Madhu Trehan.
karan is the most skilful interviewer of this country....and Madhu you know that...for a moment ..just put your jealously aside...and admire the man for his guts ,wit and skill as a journalist..
She interviewed him to roast him but ended up being roasted. I love the way he replied.
But at least, her questions revealed the fact that Karan deserved the epithets that she threw at him, and he squirmed. He had a taste of his own bitter drug albeit it wasn’t very successfully done by her
Well, Don't know about his journalism but he looks to have terrible ethics and morals...
Karan deserve to trashed in interview...
My all time favourite interview.. come back time n again and it’s so satisfying .. every damn time!
Karan thapar is good in handling situation.Its a lesson to learn
Dude. I just love both of you guys..
Come on yar, you guys made me remember myself and a great friend of mine. Also as some one said you guys are like exes..
