Simi Garewal is renowned as one of the most popular hosts in Indian television, particularly noted for her insightful interviews with Bollywood's biggest stars. With a career spanning several decades, she gained fame through her iconic talk show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, which debuted in the late 1990s. The show featured in-depth conversations with a wide array of celebrities, allowing them to share personal stories and experiences. Simi recently took to Instagram to share a snippet of one such interviews with Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, addressing the negativity surrounding him.
Simi Garewal, recognized for her strong bond with the Bachchan family, posted a nostalgic video of Abhishek Bachchan reflecting on commitment and loyalty in relationships. The caption read, "RENDEZVOUS GEMS I think everyone who knows Abhishek personally will agree he is among the nicest men in Bollywood. Good values..and innate decency.."
This video clip is from one of her earlier talk show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, features Abhishek's appearance in 2003, highlighting his views on these important values.
Abhishek is seen saying, “Call me old-fashioned, but I have nothing against people wanting to have fun. If you’re committed to someone on any level, then honour that commitment; otherwise, don’t make it. I personally believe that if a man commits to a woman, he should be loyal to her, regardless of the situation. Men are often accused of being disloyal, which I’ve never understood and don’t agree with. It disgusts me."
Shortly after the post, many netizens took to the comments section, suggesting that Simi Garewal's intention was to defend Abhishek amid the swirling divorce rumors with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. One netizen wrote, "Very controversial time to put out this... Not fair yaa", while another commented, "I am wondering what is the intention of resharing this video highlighting Abhishek’s this particular statement?" A social media user also wrote, "I’m sure most of us would be surprised that this is the side you’re going with, Simi."
In contrast, others rallied around Simi Garewal, praising her for her support and expressing admiration for her relationship with the Bachchan family. One fan wrote, "We guys are truly over thinker. Most of her post are from her show means she is trying to defend or protest her guest from what is happening in their lives at this moment ? Absurd. People please be easy and kind on others life. We have no business on their personal journey.Stick to the post agree or disagree on Avishek. You guys reached to Aishwarya, her greatness her fillers Botox. Please…"
Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan Kunder also weighed in, praising Abhishek by referring to him as a genuinely nice person.
Recently, rumours regarding Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's divorce have been circulating, with Abhishek's name also being associated with his Dasvi co-star Nimrat Kaur.
