Rajeev Masand's teasing, insidious manner of prying the best out of his interviewees was put to best use, when he interviewed fellow compatriot from Sindh, Pahlaj Nihalani on TV recently. "I asked him didn't he mind that he was so unpopular amongst his film fraternity, and he said "No, people who do the wrong thing must be corrected," says Masand. "He really believes he is a force for good," says the film critic and interlocutor, who like every good journo wants to get the story behind the story. "Also it's his moment of glory. He was really irrelevant until he became head of the censor board last year."
