- On the first episode of my first video podcast series, #BackToTheStart I sit down #RajeevMasand #AnupamaChopra and #Malishka Mendonca to discuss all the madness that goes behind Celebrity Interviews. Our goof-ups, our embarrassing moments, our proud moments, celebrities we love and hate interviewing- IT’S ALL THERE! So please dekho aur khoob saara pyaar do ❤
What is the ‘Back To The Start’ About?
Back to the Start is my passion project. It’s a podcast series where I sit down with my guests and ask them to relive first experiences, learnings and mistakes. The topics could be anything celebrity interviews to personal finance, dating, heartbreak, films and so much more. It’s also a space I hope to go beyond just Bollywood. From experts to professionals, creators, actors from different mediums, musicians, EVERYONE IS WELCOME. And more than anything else, I hope that this space is one where my guests and I can truly be ourselves.

Hey Guys,
Taking a moment to firstly thank you guys for watching and secondly, to address all the negative comments I’ve received.
Unfortunately or fortunately I’m someone who reads most comments on my content across platforms. The reason? To learn and better my skills from all the feedback- the good and the bad.
On this one though, some of you have written paragraphs and some very below the belt statements on how terribly I have hosted this podcast. And while I understand that I might have “spoken too much” or “not correctly matched the energy levels of my guests”, I don’t know if calling me names like wannabe or cringe or well, read for yourself below, is helpful at all 😞
Being on the internet and putting yourself out there is hard. And while I know that I need to have a thick skin because this is my job and I’m grateful everyday that I get to do what I love, I just wish some of you would think about the fact that there’s an actual person with feelings and emotions who’s reading your nasty comments.
To those who regularly watch my content and feel I can do better, I promise to try harder and hopefully make you guys proud.
To the rest, it’s a request- pls just be a little kind? We’re all learning.
More power to you.
I always watch your videos and I really like that social media concept and the way you conduct it, but very frankly I felt you did not give due importance to Anupama and Rajeev which they deserve. However, I am happy with this comment of yours and that you will take it positively. Lots of love to you Janice.
To me this felt less like an interview and more like a conversation between colleagues where each of you brought your selves and swapped stories. So the energy didn't feel off at all. It was fun and relatable and made the conversation engaging. More power to you Janice 💜
this is such a fun conversation!
Rajeeva and anupama are just more articulate...they get to the point and dont drag on and on
Such a lost opportunity! Clicked to hear the experiences of Anupama and Rajiv and all could hear was Janice’s screaming and interruptions. The interruptions were really painful to watch. Felt like empty vessels make the most noise and Anu and Rajiv just graciously let them speak. Painful!
I swear she made it all about herself...like i was director this that
Yeah they barely spoke, i like her hangouts format but here in podcast you wanna hear everyone speak especially the best. Anu and Rajeev are def the pro seniors here, handled very well
This is SO on point. The two on the sofa were making the podcast sound like zoom tv. Not ONE of their 'hilarious stories' that they took so much time to explain was even remotely funny. In their head it was such a big deal.
Yess...I agree completely with u..
Anupama ma'am and Rajeev Masand were sporting enough! 🥵
Janice let people speak if you wanna make a podcast.
Exactly. Two of the smartest people Rajeev and Anupama, and the other two were a complete waste of time. Such good talent wasted
This is a conversation not an interview. Janice talking about her experience adds to the whole conversation
@@nduhoonc10I totally agree. Janice needs to let others speak if she invited them. She is always trying to be over smart
Anupama literally said a good interviewer shouldn't make the conversation about themselves and then immediately Janice proceeds to make the conversation abt herself 😂
Agree. Janice wanted to be the star of the show and it was annoying. For the first question - the veterans patiently waited while the two amateurs started their gibberish.
You get Anupama Chopra as a guest and she is sitting on the side? Anupama is Queen! I actually watched this for her.
She is best interviewer in India.
Anupama Chopra is the best! It's not just about sitting on the side... Janice also kinda attacked her about that interview thing...I'm freaking out rn
Felt the same thing. My heart broke literally.
Two ironies:
- the thumbnail says how not to interview, while this interview itself is a testimony of that.
- Janice disagreeing with Anupama on listening to guests and rather being conversational, while Anupama’s interviews are the ones we look forward to. There is a way to get guests talking and Anu knows it.
True in every sense
Exactly
It came across as a podcast of Janice with Janice. Rajeev and Anupama are such well spoken people and were the reason I clicked and they looked like props mostly. The 3rd guest looked like a misfit here honestly, too loud, too shallow. Fab topic, Missed opportunity.
100% Agreed.
Suggestions for Guests:
- Gulshan Devaiah and Vijay Verma
- Vidya Balan and Nimrat Kaur
- Radhika Apte, Huma Qureshi, Swara Bhasker and Kalki Koechlin
- Sumukhi Suresh and Kaneez Surka
- Ankush, KUSHA and Dolly
- ROHAN Joshi and Ashish Shakya
- TISS Bois
- Aditi Mittal, Sonali Thakker Desai and Jeeya Sethi
- Sorabh Pant
Sahi hai
TISS boiiiissssss
Somehow, Anupama and Rajeev sound so much more mature and pleasant than Janice and Malishka who sound a bit annoying.
What Janice said to Anupuma about giving pushback to Sandeep reddy is pure garbage. Exactly why these gen y/z people can only get ho ho ha has, but Anupuma can even get people as guarded as Diljit to open up. What Rejeev said was so on point! It's funny how people like Janice dont understand the basic definition of journalism. There is a difference between a debate and an interview. Also, Janice, please try talking less! Maybe just for the podcast. It spoils the entire podcast vibe.
Yes...I completely agree...and how Rajeev Masand handled the situation with his wise words was commendable...
Janice spoiled this podcast in every possible way...
The podcast had the ability to be really good but alas!
To this date, I love anupama’s interview. They are so interesting and genuine.
I’m sorry but Janice was so loud and obnoxious for me taste. Constantly saying mean things. Cmon man.
I went in being so excited but this video is making me kinda mad
Anupama and Shahrukh a match made in heaven ❤😊
So fun and wholesome at the same time! Love how everyone is just so engrossed in conversations, without bothering about the camera. Cant wait for more episodes🤩
Anupama handled the Sandeed Reddy interview very well. She is known for her dignity. Please be the same Anu :)
Omg that Christopher Nolan story was crazzzyy 😅 Respect for surviving that 🫡
omg, Anupama literally laughing without a sound, we need this interview conversation /podcast every year like a round table.
100% agree with Rajeev on Sandeep Vanga interview. His true colors came out and it explained the problematic nature of that movie. And not everyone is confrontational by nature and might not have that natural instinct
Need to hear more frm anupama and rajeev. Really lost out on such a huge opportunity. and please... i needed to hear the SRK stories.
Sonam being unaware of what she spoke is so funny to imagine Janice. You can’t cover up by saying she doesn’t understand. Bachi hai kya? Nobody needs to be a kenny’s fan to understand that.
Also when Janice started the Sonam segment by saying people say I'm her friend so blah blah, she literally put a speed breaker to anyone who might have had Sonam stories and God knows Sonam's interviews are so delusional and a dimwit's guide to the galaxy. Case in point when Rajeev Masand gave Sonam a fab response when she remarked in some critics and their lack of relevant education.
Seriously man ! The arguments they use to defend Sonam and dismiss anyone calling her atrocious behaviour out as trolls is just unbelievable !! Like do they hear themselves sometimes ??
Loved this format and podcast. Thank you!!
Suggestions:
1) more comfy seating arrangement like a sofa couch..where people are comfortable for hours to sit.
2) new Mics , noise canceling...the talking over each other and laughter was at high pitch
Podcasts are a thing now-a-days... There's nothing to thank her for...
She spoiled such a 'could be amazing' conversation in every possible way... can't even believe she did that!!
I have a better introduction for Anu and Rajeev
“Hi I’m Anupama Chopra, India ki Oprah” 😂😂😂
Rajeev: “For me Karma exists cos Dharma exists” 😂😂😂
Thoroughly enjoyed this didnt feel like pausing with a cup of coffee felt like a cozy get together for a super chitchat ❤
Loved it ❤ you have to have a 2nd part, want to hear more from Anupama and Rajiv especially about Shahrukh ❤
Thank you Janice to actually show HOW TO NOT INTERVIEW PEOPLE !!!!!!
Sandeep Wanga himself was way more polarising personality than the movie itself
I loved Diljeet Dosanjh interviews with Anupama. I am surprised she didn't mention him.
He is a gem.
YES! He's so so lovely and her interviews with him are so good
Poor woman hardly got a chance to speak
@@charurulz09 that's true!
@@charurulz09yes
Loved this podcast ! Great concept Janice. So refreshing. You all the true stars.
Hi Janice, watched the first episode. I've been following all of you for some time now, and there was something you guys talked about that caught my attention. You advised everyone to go through the whole conversation before judging the interview or the interviewer. which is something that was so important. It was really insightful, and I loved how many important points were discussed. I am not from this field but I love watching interviews and what you guys just talked about was something so many people could just learn.
Its unfair to say Anupama should have stood up for her colleagues. I mean she is doing her job of getting into the mind of this director.
Rajeev was right, i dont think Sandeep (director) would have opened up if not for Anupama.
I expected the interviews to be more reflective… Janice , please hold back and let your guests speak.
Loved this interview ❤. It felt real and I could get to know your part of story . After Rajeev said about commenting immediately after controversy I was so effected that I was waiting till the end of video even to appreciate 🤣. I happy that youtube and ott is now giving space to good content.
Thats exactly how Bollywoodiyas have been defending Salman Khan for years saying "but that's how he is yaar".
Now all her PR amd journalist friends are using the same tone for Sonam ignoring all her classist, body shaming and problematic comments and just "but that's how she is" . Cant forget how she said on KWK that only ugly looking people are considered good actors in Bollywood. And no, not a Kenny fan(dont even like him) if that was going to be your another defense.
Totally. These guys are just the same.
Oh. My. God!!!
Ive had to pause this video coz I'm laughing SO HARD at that Christopher Nolan black thermal tights story!!!!!!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Fuck me, this is hilarious!!!! 😂😂😂
I'm soooooo happy looking at the time stamp and long format ❤Thanks Janice I loved every bit of it
Excited for this one. Have been watching Anupama and Rajeev since years
This was a bit disappointing. Wanted to hear Anupama and Rajeev more. These two girls kept going on for soooo long
Really enjoyed the show Rajeev Massand is one of my favourite media person and the whole show was thoroughly enjoyable I love Anupama Chopra too
That Rajeev is the one who wrote blind items about Sushant Singh Rajput.
So forget to give him some #%+| 😅
Congratulations, Janice! It’s nice to see you having a podcast. You’re a fab host ❤
Janice, just love love this whole new concept. Looking forward to many many such more interesting one. I had such a great time watching it. I would love to see dhoni along with other legend crickets, get the podcasters like raj shamani ,varun duggirala, karishma mehta
Wonderful interview and concept Janice. Just one suggestion. Anupama and Rajeev are legends, and they should have been captured from front profile.
Janice, i have always disliked your way of conducting any chat show, but i clicked it for rajeev and anupama but you didn't disappoint me here as well with your constant blabbering. CRINGE
I remember rajeev's interview with juhi. And juhi wasn't uncomfortable but very emotional about the tragedy. Everyone think juhi to be happy go lucky person, but that interview explained how strong she is inspite of tragedies and Rajeev was perfect as the host.
The podcast we didn’t know we wanted! Loved loved loved how candid it is! Looking forward to the next. ❤❤❤
Janice is like '"No, no, this whole thing - all of this - it's all about me!"
Rajeev hasnt apologised for the blind items yet. I understand where he is coming from ( as in, an apology would mean that he accepts that he's at fault but I'm sure he doesn't consider himself to be at fault hence no apology) but if he thinks everybody gonna forget that eventually he's wrong. He already got a doze of karma during covid where he lost his job and other things. But I dont think he deserves any respect yet.
What blind items ? Can you please tell me
@@yashshrivastav9096i think they are the weird gossips he used to spread
@@yashshrivastav9096he wrote blind articles about sushant singh rajput.
Glad Sandeep Vanga did him dirty, he deserved it for many a reason.
Did Anu take a dig at the host when she said "Don't make the interview about yourself"?
haha!
This was so very refreshing, can this be done ever so often? Atleast once a year perhaps, same panel. Not discussing the good and bad films of the year but discussing the interviews for that particular year.
Janice..i think seating arrangement could be a little better. Align chairs in 2 pairs diagonally facing with you sitting in the beginning like in this fashion /○\
Regarding that Sandeep Vanga topic, there is so much of self-righteousness in this discussion, completely ignoring the Sanju topic with respect to feminism and misogyny. Such hypocrites. Rajeev was bang on with his response. And Janice is the worst podcaster, completely interrupting guests, didn't let Malishka speak enough, very conveniently circumventing Sonam episode, didn't call out Sonam for absolutely shaming Kenny on that episode, in fact giving back to Kenny here...matlab.. hypocrisy ka bhi seema hota hai.
Yaar why does mallishka stretch her stories like ekta kapoor serial? I mean just wrap it up gurl.
horizontal hoop, orro kiss and thermal pants is the most funniest thing ever i died laughing
What about your blind article ? Those articles aren't misogynist ?what says that about Rajeev masand as a person ?
Janice is the most unknown and unpopular one and she is the most with that attitude .. and rest three are humble
Yr.... She is just little more energetic than others and her voice is loud... That doesn't really mean she is arrogant......and if she is so unpopular why are you on this channel 🤔
I feel like this would have been a nice chat between Rajeev-Anupama, and Janice-Malishka. But because the energies were so different, it was a bit awkward.
Shahrukh khan is LEGENDDDDDDDDDDDDDDARY
Janice is like I'll call people on my podcast but make it about me!! and it's all me me me me.. plz stop let the seniors speak...
Yeah no Malishka’s Neeraj Chopra interview was mad cringe and awkward af so maybe nobody said it’s bad while taping because people are used to mediocrity bit that’s not the same level as Anupama Chopra’s gracious interview of Sandeep Reddy. And Malishka being super defensive about it while AC accepts her shortcomings is all you need to know about true expertise
who was this guest with his feet on the table that Malishka talked about?
Could be govinda
Watched This For Anupama Chopra & Rajeev Masand. 😐
Suggestion -
Music directors
Indie musicians
Composers
Standup comedians
Laughed out loud at the fans T-shirt and tight swap🤣🤣
Can Rajeev Masand breathe while speaking! I feel anxious just listening to him talk ..
Guys Ourri is a legend in the making! Shoba de of this generation
Good Janice u are back lots of love and good luck
Ok I'm only starting to watch the video. But I already hate the seating arrangement! Was it intentional to grab all the attention just to you and your friend and sideline Anupama and Rajiv? This is a long video, I was exited to see Anupama and Rajiv together after a long time. I think most people click on this video for them only. Why don't you even show their face?!! I mean, one profile in a long shot for a hour and a half for them 😳 and we only get to see your face only, for the whole video?! 😳 What kind of ridiculous hosting is that? This may sound like a small issue, but is a huge turn off!
Anupama chopra interviews with Diljeet are great
The mike is so 90s & low budget...
Does anyone know who's the actor that put his legs on table, the one malishka talks about at the end.
Any clue which celebrity put their feet up on the table in the interview with malishka?
Janice feedback just bcoz the content was so good.
Seating arrangement please, I want be be able to see thier expressions as well.
This podcast is a such a breath of fresh air. Its uncomfortable most of the opinionated people couldn't connect with this beautiful podcast.
Mr Bacchan is real Legend, bye the way Sandeep Bhanga was criticized the critics. if you guys cannot take criticism about yourself, how can you guys have right to criticize ? and Razzev Masand is a real hypocrite. He interviewed some young hero without any kind of research, not even watching their movie (karthik ariyan), recently he supports anyanna pande's struggle story against Siddhant Chaturbedi. on the other hand Anupama now stopped 'Retake' series in her channel because those videos exposing her and her worker are so uneducated about movies
Bang on 🔥
Roundtable Discussion Is The Best. 👍
Wanted to listen Rajiv and Anu talk about their experience and journey 😑Janice u lost the opportunity
It was a fantastic podcast...laughed so much...enjoyed❤❤🎉
It’s the Janice show. I feel so bad that you didn’t let Anupama or Rajeev speak. Stop interrupting your guests!
I watched this interview for Anupama. There is a reason why Anu and Rajeev have been doing this for so long and it shows. The innate ability to listen patiently and speak gracefully which sadly lacks in Janice and Malishka. Janice pls allow your guests to speak more, there are a lot of interruptions and jokes from you.
I have never been able to endure loud ppl like Malishka. So no comments there as i am truly biased.
If only we heard more from the guests and not the host!
Will be more conscious going ahead
So funny, this was just hilarious! I would love to see more like this
It's a great start of your podcast journey, but if i may give a suggestion let the guest speak. Here in this interview i wanted to hear more stories from Anupama and Rajveeb as they were doing interviews for 25+ yesrs. Wish you a great success for ur podcasts 😊❤
Is Rajeev still active ?? after he did to Sushant and others who are not part of nepotism !! Rajeev should be banned from anywhere !!
For Anu and Rajeev here.
Who was the actor to put his feet on the table while rj Malishka was interviewing ?
Yes who was it?
This podcast is GOLD 😍😍😍😍
This was really enjoyable-well done Janice!
Janice needs to talk less😂
I thoroughly enjoyed this
Yes Rajeev, watch the full interview and get the point of it before passing judgement on Sandeep Vanga.
AMAZINGGGG! NEED MORE OF THESE ♥♥
Kuch bhi… LA airport is not tiny… it is huge but congested. And LA at 3-4 degree… are you sure you were in LA?
Great interview we want more this type of podcast.
Absolutely loved it❤
Anupama’s best interviews have actually been with Diljit Dosanjh. Her Ranveer interviews don’t come close.
Really enjoyed this podcast ❤
Why they laughed so hard at mallishka mispronouncing Bachchan's name in paa. "Orro no orry"what's the context ?
Orry aka Orhan Awatramani is this socialite guy who appears with literally every star on IG.
Also don’t keep blowing self trumpets all d way…understand it’s a discussion but u still d host
I havent heard of these new ladies. I only know Anupama and Rajeev
So this is how you should not interview celebrities , great work .
Pls speak one by one. Janice change your attitude. U disturb other guest when they speak . Don't break their flow . 😕
Great new start 🎉
