BY SN| IN Media Watch Briefs | 08/12/2014

Who is the most influential media person in the country? If you judge a journalist-entrepreneur by his power to draw the powerful to celebrate his success it should be Rajat Sharma. His 21st anniversary of Aap ki Adalat had the president, the prime minister, most members of the cabinet, chief ministers, and the reigning Khans and divas  of Bollywood in attendance. The edited telecast of the event was aired on India TV on December 7. Missing celebrities included Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan and Mukesh Ambani. The cameras did focus frequently on Anil Ambani though.
