Rendezvous with Simi Garewal - Vijay Mallya

Vijay Mallya is quite extraordinary! I remember when he came for the shoot -- a huge extended van followed him. Inside it was his wardrobe, 100s of suits, shirts and ties neatly arranged; he asked me to choose what I would like him to wear for our Rendezvous! But there are other facets to Vijay that few are aware of. Like everyone else, I imagined that Vijay Mallya was born in the lap of luxury, with the proverbial silver spoon - till he inherited his father’s business empire. Our rendezvous revealed another story.. Vijay talks about his early days growing up in Kolkata..the effect his father’s re-marriage had on him as a young boy.. You think he parties hard? Well -- he works even harder -- around the clock. His spirituality prevails over his life and actions. He is generous in every way - even with his enemies. From a boy of divorced parents, growing up in Calcutta.. riding on trams -- Vijay has come a long way. His story and thoughts are always profound. http://www.simigarewal.com
