Salima Raza is a veteran personality in the world of radio, television, theatre, and films, whose illustrious career has been an inspiration to many.
I had the privilege of meeting her on 31st January 2025 in Mumbai, where she currently resides.
As someone who has admired her work for years, I can never forget her iconic radio show "Awaz-aur-Andaz" on FM, which she co-presented with the late V.M. Badola, the renowned journalist and actor. Excerpts from Awaz-aur-Andaz (recorded in 1997) can be heard at the end of this Guftagoo.
Our conversation was recorded at Andalucia, Raheja, Mudh, Mumbai, with the kind support of Kumud Mishra and Ayesha Raza, and I was accompanied by Pramod Singh.
