If I weren’t an investor, I’d be a journalist - Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
The outspoken investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala said that he would have been a journalist if not an investor. Here’s some instances where his love media is reflected through his interviews.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
Q. What is Lorem Ipsum?
A. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Q. Why do we use it?
A. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Outspoken by nature, the legendary investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala was a journalist’s delight
In an interview with CNBCTV18 in 2015, the late Big Bull Rakesh Jhunjhunwala had said that had he not been an investor in the stock market, he would perhaps have been a journalist because of his love of the media.
Outspoken by nature, the legendary investor was a journalist’s delight, as he would unabashedly share his views on finance as well as opinions on personalities ranging from Vladmir Putin to Sushmita Sen.
For instance, he once mentioned that he did not like Putin or his policies, but said he was a better leader than most of his global peers. In another interview on CNBCTV18 in 2010, he said he found actor Sushmita Sen “hot.”
You wouldn’t find too many people in his position talking about ‘hot’ female actors on national television. And finesse was not his forte while airing his views at public forums. At a conclave hosted by a general television channel in 2021, Jhunjhunwala said that new businesses were grossly overvalued and should be sold. But at the same time, he also advised caution in his own unique style
At the same time, he could quickly turn on journalists without warning if their line of questioning annoyed him.
Jhunjhunwala’s wisdom and expertise were well reflected in his interviews. During an interview with CNBC TV18, Jhunjhunwala gave some advice to the students stating that “we are all very tentative when we start in life. When we see a horizon, we feel how distant it is. But when we cross that horizon, we find how many more there are”. He also shared his philosophy in life which is to dream with his head held high but with feet on the ground.
