16
00:00:58,509 --> 00:01:00,632
Shrini: No, we didn't agree with Shobhaa De. I'll explain to you.
17
00:01:00,632 --> 00:01:01,993
Radia: Uh huh!
18
00:01:01,993 --> 00:01:08,893
Shrini: See, uh...what had happened was aa the lady who is the editor, Ruchika Malhotra...
19
00:01:08,893 --> 00:01:10,388
Radia: Hm mm
20
00:01:10,388 --> 00:01:14,732
Shrini: Ok... she had become a mother and she had a two month old aa son...
21
00:01:14,732 --> 00:01:16,012
Radia: Hmm.
22
00:01:16,012 --> 00:01:18,102
Shrini: So because of that she was operating out of Delhi.
23
00:01:18,102 --> 00:01:19,250
Radia: Hmm.
24
00:01:19,250 --> 00:01:23,212
Shrini: Normally she would do those interviews but this time when she had asked Shobhaa De to do it.
25
00:01:23,212 --> 00:01:25,169
Radia: Hmmm.
26
00:01:25,169 --> 00:01:30,733
Shrini: Ok? And aa Shobhaa De thought it was her material and she had put it up on her blog...
27
00:01:30,733 --> 00:01:31,475
Radia: Hm.
28
00:01:31,475 --> 00:01:33,833
Shrini: ...the unedited version
29
00:01:33,833 --> 00:01:35,336
Radia: Hmmm...
30
00:01:35,336 --> 00:01:42,664
Shrini: Ok? Aaa...between the two of us we had aaa got an edited version to be posted in aa 'Society', in aa, 'Hello!'...
31
00:01:42,664 --> 00:01:44,430
Radia: 'Hello!', ya, ya ya...
32
00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:54,943
Shrini: Ok. Aa.. but the unedited one went on the blog, which we knew that had gone on the blog, because I had pointed out immediately saying the unedited version she had put it up on her blog, and her blog I can't do anything...
33
00:01:54,943 --> 00:01:56,509
Radia: Shobhaa?
34
00:01:56,509 --> 00:01:57,342
Shrini: Haan.
35
00:01:57,342 --> 00:02:01,875
Radia: No, the point I'm making is that your agreement was with Hello! Magazine and not with Shobhaa De...
36
00:02:01,875 --> 00:02:03,779
Shrini: No, it wasn't with Shobhaa De.
37
00:02:03,779 --> 00:02:09,817
Radia: Right? And therefore Hello! Magazine is responsible that the any interview that is done
38
00:02:09,817 --> 00:02:10,333
Shrini: Hm.
39
00:02:10,333 --> 00:02:10,919
Radia: Based...is remains with Hello! and doesn't get put out anywhere else? It is not Shobhaa De's propriety, no?
40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:18,294
Shrini: Hmmif .
41
00:02:18,294 --> 00:02:27,781
Radia: Am I right? I mean, the agreement, if I was to look at today, whenever you do anything, if the agreement is between you and Hello! magazine, who they nominate to do that interview is entirely up to them.
42
00:02:27,781 --> 00:02:28,526
Shrini: Correct. Huh.
43
00:02:28,526 --> 00:02:31,764
Radia: And therefore the onus falls on Hello! magazine.
44
00:02:31,764 --> 00:02:32,921
Shrini: Hm.
45
00:02:32,921 --> 00:02:37,945
Radia: And it was for Hello! magazine to make sure that she has to take the blog off.
46
00:02:37,945 --> 00:02:39,242
Shrini: Hmm.
47
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:40,733
Radia: That's the first thing. The second this is...
48
00:02:40,733 --> 00:02:49,757
Shrini: See, see, then we should have actually taken this stance when Shobhaa De put it out on her blog saying it's not your personal propriety your asked for, it's Hello! magazine.
49
00:02:49,757 --> 00:02:51,244
Radia: How long ago was it...?
50
00:02:51,244 --> 00:02:53,529
Shrini: Two months ago.
51
00:02:53,529 --> 00:02:56,680
Radia: Shrini, it's the first time I'm hearing it went up on the blog...
52
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,934
Shrini: No, no Manoj is aware two months ago it went on the blog. Immediately after it went on the blog...
53
00:03:01,934 --> 00:03:03,789
Radia: Huh..
54
00:03:03,789 --> 00:03:11,667
Shrini: Nitabhabhi had told all of us, why don't you guys meet up with Society, because Society is one place where i'm aa very aa concerned that they would do something nasty.
55
00:03:11,667 --> 00:03:12,835
Radia: Huh...
56
00:03:12,835 --> 00:03:17,449
Shrini:Ok? And she's upset cause apparently the meeting was scheduled with Society....
57
00:03:17,449 --> 00:03:20,382
Radia: Hmm...
58
00:03:20,382 --> 00:03:25,853
Shrini: And aa then aa the person was invited, to the.. to our new formed office and they didn't meet.
59
00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:27,220
Radia: Hmm...
60
00:03:27,220 --> 00:03:31,986
Shrini: So she says, that would have cheezed them off that that's why they did aa nasty one pager.
61
00:03:31,986 --> 00:03:35,095
Radia: No, why didn't we meet, any idea?
62
00:03:35,095 --> 00:03:43,938
Shrini: No, idea, seriously no idea. I mean I wasn't even aware that we didn't meet (Radia clearing throat) until yesterday. That is what aa she is... what she is very upset about.
63
00:03:43,938 --> 00:03:48,985
Radia: Hm. And what has come in Society, please tell me, what exactly has come. Its the entire article?
64
00:03:48,985 --> 00:04:10,296
Shrini: No, I haven't seen. No see, what they've done is uncredited... uncut, edited version apparently, they said aa, why is this aa been aa, why has this been aa edited, (voices in the background) why has this been edited? So, those kind of things is what they've put. Let me get a copy of Society, yesterday I tried in the news stand next to my house, I didn't get it.
65
00:04:10,296 --> 00:04:12,009
Radia: Hm.
66
00:04:12,009 --> 00:04:13,796
Shrini: I'll try and get it from here.
67
00:04:13,796 --> 00:04:27,092
Radia: Ok. Now there are two things as far as Society's concerned, which is what I told Manoj Warrier, yesterday, was very briefly when I got through to him, was, Society, you know, that Tina Ambani and Nari Hira have a different relationship and there is a financial relationship in place.
68
00:04:27,092 --> 00:04:28,233
Shrini: Hm.
69
00:04:28,233 --> 00:04:30,162
Radia: Are you aware of that, I don't know whether you are aware of that?
70
00:04:30,162 --> 00:04:31,406
Shrini: No, I'm not aware of that. No, I'm not aware.
71
00:04:31,406 --> 00:04:42,471
Radia: Ya, but there is for a fact, atleast for a fact that I understand that there is a financial relationship, why he needs the financial relationship I do not know, but unfortunately this is how they've been working and they have a very good understanding.
72
00:04:42,471 --> 00:04:43,799
Shrini: Hm.
73
00:04:43,799 --> 00:04:49,582
Radia: So I had indicated to Manoj, that whenever you approach Society, you have to, you cannot just go and tell them I'll to give you two ads because it's not going to work.
74
00:04:49,582 --> 00:04:50,131
Shrini: Hm.
75
00:04:50,131 --> 00:05:02,114
Radia: Are we prepared to engage with Society in a different manner? MidDay is totally under control, so you don't need to worry Shrini, because on Midday one is able to use their own relationships and particularly the relationships of the ones that we have through TATAs.
76
00:05:02,114 --> 00:05:03,768
Shrini: Ok. Hm.
77
00:05:03,768 --> 00:05:14,343
Radia: So, (clears throat) we also need to have some currency to go out there in the market and and have the relationship when it comes to a Reliance which is why I've been talking to MDA for the presentation and moving forward in a proactive way...
78
00:05:14,343 --> 00:05:15,111
Shrini: Hm.
79
00:05:15,111 --> 00:05:22,632
Radia:...because, (clears throat) you are sitting there just pushing negative stuff, or trying to block stuff and in exchange we're not giving them any other new stories
80
00:05:22,632 --> 00:05:22,937
Shrini: Hm.
81
00:05:22,937 --> 00:05:26,782
Radia: You know at the end of the day the media also works on certain...certain basis...so..
82
00:05:26,782 --> 00:05:28,316
Shrini: Ok. See I'll tell you... see see
83
00:05:28,316 --> 00:05:29,528
Radia: Uh huh..
84
00:05:29,528 --> 00:05:31,582
Shrini: What's her point, where she's coming from is...
85
00:05:31,582 --> 00:05:31,960
Radia: Um mm
86
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:47,138
Shrini: Saying, ok fine, I asked you to do a aaa story in aa Bombay times on that school, which is not possible. Manoj took a call rightly or wrongly saying that if he's not sure that he's going to get a good prominent place he doesn't want to do that.
87
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:48,657
Radia: Hmm.
88
00:05:48,657 --> 00:06:10,326
Shrini: Right? So, uhm, he says, I'm not getting any positive stories but atleast, I mean, negative stories can't be blocked, especially when I've told, saying Society I'm worried and a meeting was fixed and you guys didn't meet. She's coming from that angle. She's very upset on the fact that, I mean, she had pointed out twice, thrice, the meeting was fixed and you guys still didn't meet.
89
00:06:10,326 --> 00:06:21,325
Radia: Hmm. (Sigh). Ok. Let me have a word with him. You want to give me aa aa aa ten fifteen minutes to speak to Manoj first and then you want to connect a call or how do you want to do that?
90
00:06:21,325 --> 00:06:23,053
Shrini: Well, I think you should speak to Manoj first.
91
00:06:23,053 --> 00:06:23,101
Radia: Ya
92
00:06:23,101 --> 00:06:25,416
Shrini: Fifteen minutes, twenty minutes is ok.
93
00:06:25,416 --> 00:06:26,207
Radia: Ya. And then you'll connect me on
(ends abruptly)
