MUMBAI: Star World brings a treat to all the Jackie Chan fans as the prime time show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal will feature the martial-arts superstar. The programme is slotted to air on 3 September at 9:30 pm.
An official release quotes Garewal, “Jackie was wonderful. He didn’t hide anything, didn’t evade any question. He wasn’t ‘image-conscious’– in fact he spoke about aspects even more than I could have asked for. He revealed things that aren’t even there in his biography! Graciously, he was the one who knelt and thanked me!”
In this special episode, Jackie speaks about his painfully rigorous childhood, the fact that he was born in poverty and his immigrant parents almost sold him at birth to a British doctor, as they couldn’t afford the hospital bill. For the first time, the blatantly honest superstar shares details of his marriage, the fact that he has been a bad husband, selfish when it comes to love, and that he has not been able to give time to his wife or his 23-year-old son Jaycee and how he is trying to make-up for lost time, states an official release.
