About the book

In Devil’s Advocate, Karan dives deep into his life to come up with many memorable moments. Included here are stories of warm and lasting friendships, such as with Benazir Bhutto, Aung San Suu Kyi and Rajiv Gandhi. However, not all friendships lasted–for example, with L.K. Advani, with whom he shared a close bond until an unfortunate disagreement over an interview caused a falling-out. The tension generated during an interview has spilled over off-screen multiple times, and Karan discusses these incidents in detail. For instance, when Amitabh Bachchan lost his cool during a post-interview lunch or when Kapil Dev cried like a baby. And there’s the untold story of two of his most controversial interviews–with Jayalalithaa and Narendra Modi. Now in paperback, with a new chapter containing reminiscences that were left out of the earlier version, Devil’s Advocate is as no-holds-barred as any of Karan Thapar’s interviews.
