That is the only question that matters in respect of Modi, in my opinion. The answer in my opinion is yes. My guess is that Parrikar would have refused to answer that question.?"

For instance while I would agree with Santosh that he was not too persistent, Gupta's style is quite relaxed and un-aggressive. If he were to suddenly change it he may have offended his subject, who has come prepared for this style of an interview. If it was a Karan Thapar for instance then Parrikar could have been expected to be put into a spot and he may not have agreed to an interview in the first place. However in a skillful way, Gupta allowed Parrikar to come out with many frank and controversial admissions. This is why I think he was quite successful.
