A journalist and TV anchor, Rakesh Maria has been on the forefront of human interviews for more than twenty years. In his groundbreaking new book, Let Me Say It Now: An Autobiography in Many Mouths – a classic of the genre – Maria shares what he knows about interviewing people who have lived extraordinary lives. Brought to life through a generous mixture of anecdote and analysis, Let Me Say It Now is a fascinating study of sociology, journalism and celebrity culture. It is a compilation of articles, speeches and articles that express the author's views on the cultural context in which we live. ‘Whatever I have to say I will say it through my interviews,’ Maria says in the book. Maria scales back on his trademark flamboyance and wears a more sombre expression when he says: ‘I am not here to tell you how brilliant I am or how many people I have interviewed. You don’t need me telling you that because you know better than me what my credentials are and so does everyone else who has known me from the time I entered this field forty-five years ago. ’ His interviews have been published in a hundred newspapers across the country and have been translated into English, Malayalam, Marathi, Hindi and other languages. Maria says his method is very different from what he calls ‘the crassly commercialised film-interviewing industry’. ‘In this business of celebrity interviewing I am a hundred years behind my times. I don’t even make recordings of my interviews [with Bollywood stars]. It kills the spontaneity of the exchange and I cannot go back to recreate it once it has happened. ’
Interviewing is a skill that Maria has perfected over the years. Much of what he says about it can be applied to journalism in general. ‘It is only when the journalist gets really close to the person he is interviewing,’ Maria says, ‘that you begin to feel his genuineness, his vulnerability, his greatness. And for this you have no choice but to be honest with him too. You have got to show him your respect and you have got to let him know that you accept him as a person – not just as a famous face or a name – and this creates an emotion between interviewer and interviewee and through this emotion you get intimate information from both parties. ’ It is this intimate information that gives his interviews their power. He takes an informal approach, though some people believe it has to do with the fact that he is also a film star. But ‘the personalising of journalism is not some device to make the interviewee comfortable’, Maria says. ‘It is just the opposite. It is my attempt to bring myself closer to being honest with him/her despite being in awe of their stature and achievements, because how else will they allow me into their lives?’ Maria believes that no matter how famous or powerful an individual may be, they are still human beings who have known pain and heartache in their own lives.
