Politically correct?!

Pratibha ADVANI... Ghoomta Aaina made her a household name; not that she needed an intro!

Elegance and leadership are in the genes of this multi-faceted lady… and despite being the daughter of L.K. Advani, she has created an identity for herself as Managing Director, Swayam Infotainment, a leading production house that makes programmes for a number of TV channels. Known to be ultra soft-spoken, Pratibha Advani, has a mind of her own and having dabbled in zoology, real estate and acting, she now is seemingly content with her entrepreneur initiative in TV programming. Since politics runs in her blood, Pratibha has also written columns for the English mouthpiece of RSS ‘Organiser’, besides accompanying her father for ‘yatras’.

A proud L.K. Advani spoke at length to 4Ps B&M about his daughter: “Pratibha has been doing very well and whatever she has achieved has been on her own merit and ability. She made two decisions before entering the television industry. First, not to deal with politics at all but only with entertainment, business or health and second, to avoid using her surname as much as possible to gain influence. In fact, I still remember an interesting incident. When she interviewed Vidhu Vinod Chopra he said that the biggest problem in the film industry is piracy and the Home Minister (then LK Advani) was doing nothing about it. Later on a colleague of his told him that Pratibha is Advani’s daughter. He felt guilty and called to apologise.”
