Finally watched the whole interview, and it was one of the best interviews ever.My respect for him has increased so much after watching this. He answered all the questions very sensibly. The interviewers were quite catty at times, but he never lost his composure. I don't think he avoided any answer. Though the interviewers tried their best to make the interview controversial by bringing off screen rumors, but Gurmeet answered quite maturely, saying it to be part and parcel of this industry. He made sure to not drag DD's name. And he was most respectful towards all the fans. He said that they were the biggest reason of his success, even before his wife. Even the hateful comments by some were result of passion, as only those who love, can hate. I don't know how is it possible for him to be more respectful and gracious towards his fans. He was respectful even towards the haters! Of course they don't deserve such goodness is another matter altogether.
Interviewers tried to discredit PV's success too, but he let them know politely, but firmly that its doing very well. And he was equally proud of Geet too. He said that the craze for Geet, even when it was about to end, was something he would remember forever. And yet people say he doesn't acknowledge Geet!
He handled Jhalak's question equally well, though the anchor's comment regarding Isha's injury was shockingly distasteful.
I am so proud of Gurmeet for the way he handled himself throughout the interview. And though the interviewers indirectly tried to hint otherwise, the fact is Gurmeet's popularity is not limited to one character. Or they wouldn't have been interviewing him today, 10 months after Geet ended. Even I was apprehensive whether or not, Gurmeet would be able to come out of the shadow of the MSK. But with God's grace his popularity and recognition has only increased with time.
PS- Loved the trick that he did with his eyes and ears.
