Arun Jaitley seems to be right at home as he strides into the TV studio for the recording of Your Call. Probably the BJP's most well known media face, he usually does most interviews in his residence, so he can fit in the many requests from TV channels one after the other in prime time slots from 8:30 to 10:00 pm. On Your Call, he's made an exception and agreed to make a rare appearance on our sets.

His answers are razor sharp...this is the first time, he's spoken on the criticism against him, from a  galaxy of BJP leaders ranging from Jaswant Singh to Yashwant Sinha, his legendary cool slips only when I ask him if he's the 'henchman', Arun Shourie referred to in his article in the Indian Express.' We don't use language like this against our party colleagues' is his terse reply. However, he has a fun side as well,  watch out for him as he reacts to a Sushma puppet and a surprise question from dinner buddy and man about town, Suhel Seth.

My favourite part...a picture of him with long sideburns in the 70s. As he says, even BJP people have normal upbringing!
