Every Tuesday on 1'foming Ma.sala I cell you what to do with your kids so you're not tearing your eyes, out \Yhen they're tearing your house down! Relax, 1 am not telling you what my grandma cold me; I back my advice up with a lot of research.

Wednesday is a ve r y special day on Afor11i11g 1vfosala not bec ause the weekend is two days away bnc because our show brings hope to a lot of people.

What's a show w i thout celebrities and gossip? That would amount to Mornings Without l\fasala! Hear the m ost candid interviews of celebrities and their juiciest gossip right here on 1'1-orning lv[a.sala Well, they have it all, so I am sure they won't mind!

For instance, my dear friend Ra hat Fateh Ali Kha n cam e on air w ith no notice at all and l can never thank him e n ough for that. People loved bearing ''Rahat the Friend" on a ir as opposed to Rabat the celebrity who chinks before he speaks to the press. Peop le were blown away by the humble man b ehind all d1a c ta lent. His an1azing self deprecating se n se of humom shines through when you know him as closely as I do, and people loved th e interview! He to ld us the uncut version of how he lost his manager Ch itresh Shivastav in a road accident while touring the US and how he escaped injury - or worse, death - by a la st minute dec ision to sic with h is musicians in tbcir van.

Johnny Lever may be a comedian to che world but my listeners got to know him as a healer. The way he prayed for me day after day when I lost one of my C\vins was at the ti me unbelievab le to me. The fact that he called me everyday during my pregnancy frorn Mumbai, right from tbe time he mer me to pray for me and t he safe delivery of rny baby, just b lew me away He may be a comed ian to his fans but to me he's the most amazing healer who helps people through d1e power of prayer.

\Xlasin1 Akram agreed co give me a very rare interview where he was at his candid best and had me in stitches with his amazing sense of humour. My listeners got co know him for the direct, frank, candid and humorous person he is. He narrated th e whole horror

With Joh nnyLever

of being accused of match - /i.,ung in the C ri cket World Cup of 1999 when Pakistan reached the final an d lose to Australi a. He coul dn't believe that his peop le were so ready to blame him for the team's loss in stead of congratulating him for leading the team ro the finals. Cricketer Shahid Afridi gave only o n e personal interview whe n he was in Sydney last and iliac was ro me. His spirit of charity and his compassion for ilie Lmcl erprivileged really struck a nerve in me. \Xlhen l got to know him better I realised what a lovely, obliging, fLm loving and patriotic person he is.

I was thrilled to bits whe n multiple award winning director of award winning TV serie s East lf?"est 101 Peter An drikidis came to my show along wi th lead actor Don Hany. We talked from Bollywood ro Hollywood, co all aspects of acting an d directing including the episode of Bast W'esl 101 Thad acted in. le was a pleasure co ace for Peter Andrikidis a treat to see him in action a nd learn so much from him. An even bigger treat was co have him on my show and get to kn ow him as a person. Most definitely one of d1e most humb le, down to earth and unassuming peop le I've ever met.
